Summary: In this study, the effects of NKB on gonadal steroidogenesis and gametogenesis were evaluated through in vivo and in vitro approaches using NKB antagonist MRK-08. The results suggest that the NKB antagonist decreases the development of advanced ovarian follicles and germ cells in the testis. Furthermore, MRK-08 treatment downregulates steroidogenesis by modulating the expressions of steroidogenic marker proteins involving ERK1/2 & pERK1/2 and Akt/pAkt signalling pathways.

Summary: A multi-biomarker approach was used to assess the toxicity of coal mine effluent on the catfish Clarias batrachus, revealing high metal bioaccumulation in the liver, kidney, and gills of exposed fish tissues. Significant alterations in enzyme activity and oxidative stress markers were also detected, with histopathological changes in various tissues justifying the high metal accumulation and biochemical alterations. Overall, the results indicate that the Rajrappa coal mine effluent is very toxic and may have adverse health effects on both fish and humans.

Summary: The study shows that kisspeptin-10 stimulates gametogenesis in catfish by enhancing gonadal steroid production. It describes the cascade of steroidogenic actions of kisspeptin-10 in the catfish and suggests that kisspeptin may act locally to regulate gonadal activities in an autocrine/paracrine manner independently of known extra-gonadal factors.

Summary: The acute toxicity of mercury to Clarias batrachus was studied using hematological and biochemical biomarkers at predetermined exposure concentrations. Significant differences were observed in hematological and biochemical variables between exposure groups, with exposed fish exhibiting decreased hemoglobin levels, hematocrit, and total erythrocyte count. The findings suggest toxicant-related anemia and immune-modulation and metabolic disruption. The overall health of mercury-exposed fish deteriorated approximately 3-fold compared to the control group. These observations indicate the potential for greater deleterious effects on less hardy aquatic biota under acute inorganic mercury exposure.

Summary: This study investigated the expression and distribution of scgn gene in the brain and pituitary of a teleost, Clarias batrachus. The study found that scgn was widely expressed in the brain and pituitary, with higher expression in the telencephalon. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed scgn expression in neurons in the brain and certain areas of the pituitary. Insulin was found to regulate scgn expression in the telencephalon. These results suggest that scgn may play an important role in the regulation of olfactory, neuroendocrine system, and energy balance functions in C. batrachus.

Summary: The extensive use of atrazine as herbicide in crop farming in Nigeria may lead to its accumulation in fish feed ingredients or aquatic ecosystem, resulting in its residue in aquatic animals. A study in Southwestern Nigeria found atrazine residues in fish feed and catfish fillets, with significant differences between different states in terms of atrazine concentrations in the samples.

Summary: Fish at different trophic levels are affected differently by the presence of microplastic (MP) and their ingestion. In this study, walking catfish (Clarias batrachus) were exposed to two types of MP for 60 days. The results showed changes in hematological indices as well as morphological alterations in the liver, kidney, intestine, and gills. Additionally, the growth of C. batrachus was significantly retarded. This suggests that widespread MP pollution in water bodies in Bangladesh may pose serious ecological risks to bottom-feeding fish.

Summary: The hydrophilic nature and persistent characteristics of neonicotinoids can lead to prolonged exposure for non-target organisms. In this study, the sublethal toxicity of the neonicotinoid Thiamethoxam (R) was investigated in the non-target freshwater fish species Clarias batrachus. The results showed that exposure to Thiamethoxam (R) affected the antioxidant enzyme responses, neurotransmission, and haematological and serum biochemistry of the fish, as well as causing histopathological alterations in the gill and liver tissues.

Summary: The study revealed 24-hour and seasonal fluctuations in plasma GH levels in male walking catfish, with significant sexual dimorphism noted in GH secretion patterns. This emphasizes the importance of considering biological 24-hour and seasonal factors, as well as sex differences, in regulating GH levels for somatic growth and reproductive physiology in catfish.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
