Summary: The effectiveness of substituting soybean meal with fermented peanut meal was evaluated in common carp juveniles. Results showed that replacing 30%, 50%, and 75% of soybean meal with fermented peanut meal improved growth rate, feed conversion rate, serum protein content, intestinal antioxidant enzyme activity and gene expression, and suppressed intestinal bacteria abundance. Based on regression analyses, the optimum substitution level was estimated to be around 50.93% and 49.89% for growth rate and feed conversion rate, respectively.

Summary: In this study, the effects of A. hydrophila infection on the intestinal microbiota, transcriptome, and metabolome of Cyprinus carpio were investigated. The results showed significant changes in the intestinal microbiota, with a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in pathogenic bacteria. The transcriptome analysis revealed altered expression of immune-related genes, and the metabolomic analysis indicated disturbances in amino acid metabolism. This study provides insight into the underlying mechanisms of the intestinal microbiota, immunity, and metabolism involved in the response of carp to A. hydrophila infection.

Summary: High levels of dietary soy meals negatively affect the growth and intestinal structure of juvenile pearl gentian grouper, leading to significant increase in enteritis indices. Differential gene expression analysis shows that SBM and FSBM have different metabolic strategies, with immune diseases/systems and signal transduction pathways being significantly affected in both groups. Toll-like receptor signaling pathways play a key role in the development of enteritis induced by FSBM and SBM in pearl gentian grouper.

Summary: The present study investigated the effects of feeding pearl gentian groupers with high levels of soybean meal on growth performance and the intestinal environment. The results showed that the high soybean meal diets significantly reduced growth performance, caused enteritis characteristics and immune fluctuations, and affected the intestinal flora composition.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that MC-LR enters intestinal tissues through organic anion-transporting polypeptides, resulting in ferroptosis-related damage including ER stress, iron accumulation, and changes in glutathione levels. The GSH/GPx 4 pathway plays a significant role in response to MC-LR exposure.

Summary: Carcinomas and lymphomas are common intestinal tumors in dogs. Non-invasive biomarkers like microRNAs could help distinguish them from intestinal inflammation. This study measured the expression of specific microRNAs in different types of intestinal tumors and tissues, and observed significant changes in microRNA expression patterns. However, further research is needed to understand the role of different microRNAs in various types of tissue and cancer.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of dietary addition of BT on growth performance, digestive enzymes activity, intestine pH, and gene expression in common carp fingerlings. The results showed that the addition of BT at 2 g/kg improved growth performance and digestive enzyme activity. It also led to a decrease in feed conversion ratio and a decrease in intestine pH. Additionally, BT up-regulated the expression of growth-related and intestinal tight junction protein genes.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of yeasts on intestinal health and transcriptomic profiles of Atlantic salmon fed SBM-based diets. The results showed that Cyberlindnera jadinii and Wickerhamomyces anomalus yeasts improved intestinal health and reduced inflammation in fish fed plant-based diets. CJ yeast controlled inflammation by promoting wound healing and taurine metabolism, while WA yeast dampened inflammation by down-regulating pathways associated with inflammatory signaling. These findings suggest that these yeasts can serve as novel high-quality protein sources for Atlantic salmon.

Summary: This study revealed that diets supplemented with PSRM could significantly improve growth, feed efficiency, and intestinal health of juvenile grass carp while reducing lipid accumulation in hepatopancreas and adipose tissue. The optimal level of PSRM supplementation was suggested to be 5%, with a maximum of 20% to achieve the best results.

Summary: High cottonseed meal diets have negative effects on the growth and intestinal health of aquatic animals. Sanguinarine supplementation in these diets can improve growth, enhance intestinal antioxidant ability, alleviate intestinal barrier damage, and ameliorate intestinal microbiota homeostasis.

Summary: The large-scale degradation of riparian ecotones and connectivity between rivers and floodplains in European temperate lowland rivers has led to a decline in rheophilic fish populations. Recent river restoration projects have had varying degrees of success in restoring these populations. Understanding nursery habitat requirements is crucial for effective restoration, but the role of habitat heterogeneity in young-of-the-year fish population development is still limited.

Summary: This study evaluated the occurrence of mycotoxin patterns in feedstuffs and fish feeds, and summarized the effects of DON on farmed fish species. The risk of DON exposure in fish was assessed, with results indicating that the risk of DON contamination is underestimated in the aquaculture industry. The importance of regular state-of-the-art mycotoxin analyses to prevent detrimental effects on farmed fish was emphasized.

Summary: As the world's leading producer of farmed aquatic food products, China faces uncertainty in the further sustainable development of its aquaculture industry due to environmental and resource constraints. To address this, an evaluation system and a holistic approach are proposed to optimize aquaculture systems. Ten major aquaculture production systems in China were assessed using analytical hierarchy processes and expert judgment, and the ecological intensification of aquaculture systems (ELIAS) was proposed to enhance sustainability. The holistic evaluation system and ELIAS are crucial for the future development of aquaculture in China and globally.

Summary: This review evaluates and updates the status of reported host and vector species of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), and critically assesses the presence of WSSV in aquatic organisms and their potential role in transmission. The results show that WSSV continues to spread beyond farmed shrimp and the shrimp pond environment, and the transmission of WSSV in the aquatic environment is complex and challenging. The information presented in this review provides research directions for controlling WSSV.

Summary: This study challenges the idea of an optimal P:E ratio in Nile tilapia feeds, and quantitatively describes the effects of protein and energy intake on nutrient partitioning, feed efficiency, and growth. The results suggest that there is no physiological basis for an optimal P:E, contradicting previous beliefs.

Summary: This study examined the effects of dietary exposure to deoxynivalenol (DON) on juvenile rainbow trout. The results showed that DON intake reduced growth and caused liver and gastrointestinal tract damage. Restrictive exposure revealed time-dependent liver damage, while ad libitum exposure resulted in reduced growth.
