Summary: A new cell line, YCE1, was established and characterized from Larimichthys crocea for the purpose of in vitro culture models for viral pathogens. YCE1 cells, identified as predominantly fibroblast-like, could form a monolayer at 15-37 degrees C and had an optimum growth temperature of 26 degrees C. The susceptibility test showed noticeable and stable cytopathic effects (CPEs) in the YCE1 cells infected with large yellow croaker iridovirus (LYCIV), making it a viable tool for studying host-pathogen interactions.

Summary: A 30-day feeding trial investigated the effects of diets supplemented with sodium decanoate (Sd) on survival, growth performance, and intestinal health in Larimichthys crocea larvae. Results showed that the larvae fed a diet containing 0.2% Sd exhibited the highest growth performance, with significantly higher body weight and specific growth rate compared to the control group. Furthermore, dietary supplementation with Sd improved intestinal development, digestive and absorptive capacity, and antioxidant capacity.

Summary: In this study, a RIP1 ortholog named Lc-RIP1 was identified and characterized in large yellow croaker. Lc-RIP1 is a cytosolic protein that is broadly expressed in various tissues and can be up-regulated by viral and bacterial stimulation. Lc-RIP1 plays a crucial role in regulating host innate immune signaling through modulation of NF-kappa B and IRF3 activation.

Summary: Two antimicrobial peptides derived from histone 1 (LcH1-1 and LcH1-2) were described in this study, and they showed a broad antimicrobial spectrum. The results suggested that LcH1 may play a role in the immune response of L. crocea against Cryptocaryon irritans infection, and LcH1-derived antimicrobial peptides may be a potential strategy for controlling parasitic and bacterial diseases.

Summary: To promote genetic selective breeding of large yellow croaker, a liquid single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array called NingXin-III was developed. It is based on genotyping by target sequencing (GBTS) technology and the 55 K high-throughput solid chip-based array (NingXin-II SNP array) of large yellow croaker. NingXin-III SNP array contains 98.85% of the loci on NingXin-II SNP array and 1535 new loci, with a total of 54,990 loci distributed on 24 chromosomes. It has high genotyping accuracy, reproducibility, and can replace NingXin-II SNP array completely to support genetic improvement of important economic traits of large yellow croaker.

Summary: The study found that autophagy can significantly reduce the gene expression of proinflammatory factors in the liver or hepatocytes, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and interleukin 1 beta (IL1 beta). Inhibition of autophagy can upregulate the gene expression of proinflammatory factors and downregulate the gene expression of anti-inflammatory factors both in vivo and in vitro. Autophagy can alleviate LA-induced inflammatory cytokine gene expression in vivo and in vitro, while inhibition of autophagy leads to the opposite results.

Summary: This study investigated the effects and regulation of dietary vegetable oil on the Nrf2 and NF-kappa B pathways in large yellow croaker. The results showed that the vegetable oil diet decreased antioxidant capacity and induced inflammatory responses in the fish. Knockdown of the Nrf2 gene affected the anti-inflammatory effect of fatty acids. Overall, the study suggests that dietary vegetable oil can affect antioxidant and inflammatory pathways in fish.

Summary: In this study, cold-set gels of Pseudosciaena crocea roe protein isolate (pcRPI) were prepared using glucono-delta-lactone (GDL) at different concentrations. Gels were formed with 0.1% and 0.2% GDL, while a fluid state was observed with 0.4% GDL addition. The gel induced by 0.2% GDL showed better rheological properties and a denser network structure. These findings deepen the understanding of GDL-induced cold-set gels of pcRPI.

It was found that terrestrially sourced oils impaired intestinal function during the growing-out period, but this was significantly recovered by re-feeding with fish oil-based diet. The 16S rDNA sequencing analysis showed improved bacterial community similarity after FOF, indicating the important role of intestinal microbiota in the recovery process.

Summary: The booming fish farming industry has led to a shortage of fish oil supply, resulting in the use of alternative oils in fish feeds and a reduction of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) in fish products. This study explored the efficacy of an fish oil-finishing strategy to restore muscle quality in farmed tiger puffer. The strategy successfully recovered LC-PUFA content and volatile flavor compounds in the fish after being fed poultry oil-based diets.

Summary: A 12-week feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing fish oil (FO) with beef tallow (BT) on the fatty acid composition of farmed tiger puffer (Takifugu rubripes). The results showed that dietary BT inclusion reduced the contents of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) in both the muscle and liver of the experimental fish, and the liver displayed a more drastic decrease than the muscle. However, alternate feeding between FO and BT-based diets resulted in a higher LC-PUFA content than the standard direct replacement.

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.
