Summary: The effects of feeding selenium, vitamin C, and HUFA-enriched rotifer on the growth, survival, physio-metabolic changes, and digestive enzyme activity were investigated in Anabas testudineus larvae. The larvae fed with the combination of selenium-vitamin C-HUFA enriched rotifer showed the highest average body weight, better growth performance, and higher survival. The enriched rotifer also led to decreased stress levels and higher levels of lipase and protease activity in the fish.

Summary: The climbing perch in Vietnam's inland waters could potentially have contact with floating plastic waste. Fragments of expanded polystyrene (EPS) were found in fresh waters of Vietnam. This study focused on the probability of the climbing perch ingesting EPS pellets. The results showed that the fish have an effective defense mechanism to avoid ingestion of EPS pellets with a size of 2.5-3.5 mm.

Summary: M. micrura was analyzed using Illumina NovaSeq (TM) 6000 sequencing, revealing differential gene expression patterns across developmental stages. A total of 51,547 genes were annotated, with 554 genes upregulated and 452 genes downregulated between juveniles and males, and 1001 genes upregulated and 830 genes downregulated between adults and males. Gene expression analysis identified several genes involved in chitin, cuticle, muscle proteins, mitogen-activated protein kinases, fibrillin, cytochrome, glutathione s-transferase, vitellogenin, acetylcholinesterase, and transforming growth factor beta that were upregulated under unfavorable environmental conditions (males). Additionally, the upregulation of hemoglobin, doublesex, juvenile hormone analogs, heat shock protein, and methyltransferase genes in males initiated sex-switching effects. These findings have significant implications for future investigations of gene expression and reproductive genome analysis in the Moina genus.

Summary: This study examined the induced spawning, early development, and larval rearing of the climbing perch Anabas testudineus under captive conditions. Results showed that inducing spawning with hCG + Ovaprim was effective and the eggs of the climbing perch were spherical, non-adhesive, transparent, and buoyant. The study also found changes in the larval development of the climbing perch after hatching. In terms of larval rearing, lower densities and co-feeding with microparticulate diet improved survival rates.

Summary: The study found that Anabas testudineus exposed to naphthalene suffered significant impacts on blood pathophysiology, with decreases in red blood cells, Hb, and platelet levels, as well as enhanced levels in other blood parameters. Additionally, exposure to naphthalene led to changes in serum biochemical parameters, indicating more harmful effects under long-term exposure.

Summary: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are receiving global attention due to their toxic and persistent nature in the environment, and their potential as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and carcinogenic agents. This study investigated the acute toxicity of two main PFAS, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), using freshwater cladocerans as bioindicators. The results showed that PFOA was more hazardous than PFOS, with lower LC50 values. The findings have significant implications for the risk assessment of PFOS and PFOA in aquatic environments.

Summary: Exposure to naphthalene at different concentrations resulted in increased lipid peroxidation activity and decreased antioxidant enzyme activity in Anabas testudineus, indicating that naphthalene induced lipid peroxidation and antioxidant levels were unable to alleviate the stress caused by naphthalene exposure. This study highlights the importance of evaluating the effect of low molecular weight naphthalene on fish and provides specific biomarker responses for PAHs toxicity in fish.

Summary: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a well-known endocrine-disrupting compound that causes toxic effects on human and aquatic organisms. The restriction of BPA has led to the increased use of toxic alternatives such as bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS). This study used a native tropical freshwater cladoceran, Moina micrura, to assess the adverse effects of bisphenol analogues at different levels. The results showed that bisphenol analogues affected gene expression, heart rate, and mortality rate of M. micrura, with BPA being the most toxic.

Summary: The dietary effects of antibiotics on aquatic disease have not been well studied, especially under infections. This research investigated the efficacy of erythromycin on the survival and infection rate of Anabas testudineus after co-infection with antibiotic-resistant Aeromonas dhakensis. The results showed that medicated fish had a lower mortality rate compared to non-medicated fish, and the presence of invasive erythromycin-resistant bacteria was significantly higher in co-infected fish. The study suggests that further investigation into antibiograms and new strategies for aquatic disease control should consider mixed infections and interactions between pathogens.

Summary: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are stable compounds that can easily permeate biological membranes, affecting aquatic organisms. Exposure to naphthalene resulted in inhibition of protein and glycogen levels, as well as decreased transaminase activity in muscle tissues. The study highlights the potential use of integrated biomarker response (IBR) index for assessing the impact of naphthalene stress on fish health.

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.
