Summary: Zebrafish larvae are considered a promising alternative whole-animal model for assessing systemic toxicity. Exposure of zebrafish larvae to various nephrotoxins resulted in kidney injury and impaired function. Gene expression analysis showed the most prominent changes in larvae treated with gentamicin compared to other nephrotoxins.

Summary: This study aimed to verify the positive effects of feeding the commercial probiotic Bioplus 2BC(R) to Nile tilapia. The results showed that the inclusion of 0.04% and 0.08% probiotics led to higher weight gain and thrombocyte counts in the fish, as well as beneficial changes in the gut microbiota.

Summary: The future of European eel aquaculture relies on closing the life cycle in captivity and developing larval rearing technology. This study reveals that early and gradual salinity reduction benefits larval eel growth and survival, but may cause heart edema. Consideration of genetic programming and environmental interactions is essential for the future of eel aquaculture.

Summary: One of the major challenges in sustainable global aquaculture is the threat of infectious diseases. To ensure fish health and reduce antibiotic use, preventative strategies such as health-promoting feed supplements like astaxanthin and probiotics are being explored. This study investigates the effects of probiotic blends on fish growth and gut microbial community, compared to astaxanthin supplementation, in two cyprinid species. The results reveal species-specific responses to probiotics and highlight the need for further research in understanding the mechanisms behind these responses.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of dietary host-associated Lactococcus lactis 3-c-18 supplementation on growth, serum biochemical indices, liver and intestine health, intestinal microbiota, and Aeromonas hydrophila resistance in mandarin fish. Results showed positive impacts on growth performance, liver and gut health, A. hydrophila resistance, and intestinal microbial diversity. However, high levels of L. lactis 3-c-18 may reduce these beneficial effects, with a recommended dosage of approximately 1 x 10(8) CFU/kg in mandarin fish feed.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of MeP on zebrafish larvae and adults, showing that adults were more sensitive to MeP than larvae. Exposure to MeP resulted in impaired biotransformation and suppressed biological responses in adult fish, while sublethal exposure did not cause toxicity to larvae. Results also indicated that MeP induced lipid peroxidation and genotoxicity in adult fish, highlighting the importance of regulating the presence of this compound in the environment and improving cleaning processes.

Summary: Black soldier fly larvae as a dietary protein source can positively influence intestinal health by supporting the development of the intestinal microbiome. Analysis of amine metabolites in plasma identified markers like sarcosine and methionine sulfoxide for the ingestion of insect-based ingredients. BSF may have functional properties indicated by the presence of alpha-aminobutyric acid and taurine in blood plasma of pigs, which are known to have health beneficial effects.

Summary: This study investigated the toxicological impacts of the pesticide IMI on African catfish and the effectiveness of HTF as a dietary supplement in attenuating these impacts. The results showed that exposure to IMI caused behavioral changes and a significant decrease in various indicators including growth, hematology, and antioxidant capacity. IMI also dysregulated the expression of several genes in the fish's gills. However, dietary intervention with HTF modulated these parameters and improved the histological architecture.

Summary: This study aimed to use indigenous probiotic bacteria in rearing seabass larvae, showing that the probiotic treatment significantly improved survival and growth rate. Microbial community richness increased with fish development, and the effects of probiotics were observed in a short timeframe but diminished after cessation of administration. Overall, the results indicate the beneficial impact of indigenous probiotics on larval rearing in industry-like conditions.

Summary: Toxic species of the dinoflagellate genus Dinophysis can produce diarrheic toxins including okadaic acid (OA) and dinophysistoxins (DTXs), and the non-diarrheic pectenotoxins (PTXs). The effects of co-produced PTXs or live cells of Dinophysis on aquatic organisms are less understood. In this study, the effects of PTX2 on an early life stage of sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) were evaluated. Exposure to purified PTX2 at intermediate to high concentrations resulted in mortality and severe gill damage in the larvae, suggesting loss of respiratory and osmoregulatory functions.

Summary: The article explores the commonalities between animal production science and animal ecology in order to identify promising avenues of synergy through the transfer of concepts and methodologies. Key concepts such as animal adaptability, diversity, selection, management, monitoring, agroecology, and viability risks were identified as crucial for cross-fertilization to improve ecosystem resilience and farming sustainability. The need to break down interdisciplinary barriers was highlighted with examples such as pathogen circulation between wild and domestic animals and the role of animals in nutrient cycles.

Summary: The study aimed to establish a protocol for normal skeletal development, growth, and survival of zebrafish larvae through transitioning from live feed to microdiet. Results showed that feeding regimes had a significant effect on the incidence of skeletal abnormalities in zebrafish larvae. Transition rate from live feed to microdiet influenced larval growth, survival, and abnormality rates in a non-homogenous pattern.

Summary: The study investigated the long-term impact of ocean acidification on the sensory system of European seabass. It found that there is a long-term intragenerational OA-induced regulation of the olfactory sensory system in European seabass, with potential disruption in the developmental process observed in F1 larvae. Additionally, the study showed that there may be intergenerational acclimation of omp genes expression to OA in European seabass.

Summary: Protocols for in vitro culture of human hair follicles were developed 30 years ago, and now a method for the in vitro culture of chicken feather follicles has been successfully developed. The study shows that this method can maintain the structure and biology of feather follicles close to their in vivo state, despite transcriptional modifications of some genes involved in feather development. This new culture model can be used to study interactions between feathers and pathogens or toxins, and reduce animal experimentation.

Summary: The absorption of anthropogenic carbon dioxide by oceans causes ocean acidification, which leads to rapid changes in seawater carbonate system and pH. Exposure to acidified water can affect the stress response and ability to cope with additional stress in fish, potentially impacting their life traits and fitness. This study investigates the physiological and behavioral stress responses to acute stress in European sea bass under ocean acidification conditions.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of four commercial and one experimental early diets on zebrafish skeletal development. The results showed that different diets had significant effects on the rate of caudal-peduncle scoliosis and gill-cover abnormalities. The swimming challenge test results indicated that diets C and D had higher rates of swimming-induced lordosis. These findings suggest a potential nutritional control of haemal lordosis in finfish aquaculture.

Summary: The development and physiology of herring larvae were monitored in response to warming, acidification, and different food quality treatments. The experiment showed that warming and acidification resulted in a stress response at the molecular level and a decrease in herring larvae size-at-stage. The findings suggest that the predicted warming and acidification environment is stressful for herring larvae, potentially affecting their survival and recruitment.

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.
