Summary: Comparative animal models provide fundamental scientific knowledge of immune responses. There is now an interest in using teleost fish models to study intestinal immunology, with a focus on the intestinal mucosa immune response. Amino acid supplementation can enhance the immune response in fish, and nutritionists can develop sustainable aquafeeds to promote specific immune responses. To further understand the mucosal immune system in fish, future studies should incorporate various tools such as genomics, proteomics, nutrition, immunology, and metabonomics analysis.

Summary: Abdominal trauma is a major global issue, and the consequences of blast injuries are often underestimated. In this study using a mouse model, early intestinal damage and impairment of the gut-blood barrier were observed after blunt abdominal trauma. This research provides a sufficient model for further understanding the immunopathophysiological consequences of abdominal trauma and evaluating new therapeutic approaches.

Summary: This study compared the effects of different dietary treatments containing soybean oil alone or in combination with other vegetable oils on the intestinal health of sea bream. The results showed that the blend of soybean and linseed oils negatively affected intestinal integrity due to high oxidative stress. However, the addition of palm oil to the mixture helped maintain low oxidative stress and preserve intestinal health.

Summary: In this study, a grass carp ortholog of mammalian NLK, named CiNLK2, was identified and found to be involved in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and immune response. CiNLK2 was widely expressed in various tissues and up-regulated under the treatment with poly I:C or GCRV. Overexpression of CiNLK2 suppressed IFN I production, while knockdown of CiNLK2 increased IFN I expression. CiNLK2 functioned as an inhibitor for IFN I response by targeting the MAVS-IRF3 signal axis.

Summary: This study demonstrates that consuming rice bran can reduce the risk of intestinal infection, and the phytate component in it plays a role by promoting innate immune response in intestinal epithelial cells. This effect is dependent on the metabolism of phytate by commensal bacteria.

Summary: In this study, the structure and attachment modes of the teeth of adult Anoplogaster cornuta were investigated. The oral jaw teeth were firmly ankylosed to their respective dentigerous bone, while the pharyngeal teeth exhibited a ring-like fibrous attachment to their supporting bones, providing them with some lateral mobility. These findings provide insights into the functional roles of different teeth in feeding and prey capture.

Summary: Dietary supplementation of soybean saponin Bb negatively affected the growth performance, intestinal morphology, gut microbiota, and immune-related gene expression in Pelodiscus sinensis. Soybean saponin Bb decreased the body weight, growth rate, protein deposition ratio, and nutrient digestibility coefficients in Pelodiscus sinensis, and induced an inflammatory response and dysbiosis in the gut microbiota.

Summary: The Atlantic salmon industry is projected to grow by 2-3% globally by 2030. The use of fishmeal, which is produced from wild-caught marine fish, as the main protein source in salmon feeds puts natural fish stocks at risk. Therefore, finding alternative feed ingredients that can ensure the health and growth performance of Atlantic salmon, while being environmentally sustainable, is of great importance.

Summary: The study reveals the existence of a specific region in the intestine of medaka fish where interaction between Ccl25-expressing cells and Ccr9a(+) T cells occurs. This interaction is observed during both homeostasis and inflammation, with a higher frequency and duration during inflammation. The findings suggest that the mucosal immune response in the medaka fish intestine is organized and orchestrated by this specific region.

Summary: The ketogenic diet has gained popularity in the past decade for its potential therapeutic effects on a variety of diseases, mainly due to its anti-inflammatory properties. By producing ketone bodies, the high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet affects metabolism and has pleiotropic effects on various tissues, potentially impacting the entire organism.

Summary: The present study investigated the effects of dietary costmary essential oil on growth performance, digestive enzymes' activity, and physiological responses to ammonia exposure in common carp. The results showed that dietary costmary essential oil improved growth performance, feed efficiency, and digestive enzyme activity in the fish. It also exhibited anti-stress, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and immunostimulant effects in common carp under ammonia toxicity.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of different forms of selenium supplementation on the one-carbon metabolism of rainbow trout broodstock and their offspring. The results showed that parental selenium supplementation increased glutathione levels, while organic selenium supplementation increased cysteine and cysteinyl-glycine concentrations. In addition, selenium supplementation also affected the metabolism of free amino acids and methionine in the offspring.

Summary: The GPRO suite is an ongoing bioinformatic project for the analysis of -omics data. It introduces a client- and server-side solution for comparative transcriptomics and variant analysis. The client-side includes two Java applications, RNASeq and VariantSeq, which manage pipelines and workflows using common command line tools. The server-side, named GPRO Server-Side, hosts all dependencies and requires a Linux operating system, PHP, SQL, Python, bash scripting, and third-party software. The solution offers both desktop and web applications, with step-by-step and pipeline modes for execution. It also features an experimental support system called GENIE, with a chatbot assistant and expert system for troubleshooting and recommendations.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of dietary astaxanthin (AX) on glucose and lipid metabolism in rainbow trout liver. The results showed that dietary AX had a significant impact on neutral and polar lipids in the liver, hepatocyte size, cytoplasm vacuolization, and gene expression related to TAG turnover, beta-oxidation, PL and cholesterol synthesis. Overall, dietary AX modulates the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway and the last step of glycolysis, affecting various aspects of lipid metabolism in rainbow trout liver.

Summary: This study compared different sequencing platforms for microbial characterization in fish gut mucosal samples. The results showed that MinION is a reliable and accurate tool for assessing intestinal bacteria communities, with good correlation with Illumina results. However, less abundant but biologically important taxa may be masked compared to Illumina sequencing.

Summary: This study explores the best experimental conditions to set up an in vivo infection model capable of mimicking the sparicotylosis signs observed in farmed diseased fish. The experimental setup for parasite transmission consisted of a recipient fish tank with naive GSB receiving water from two S. chrysophrii-infected donor tanks. The study provides an advancement for studying S. chrysophrii's biology and its interaction with its host, as well as for further researching treatment alternatives and prophylactic measures.

Summary: This study aims to assess the current state and future development trends of the main maritime sectors related to the blue economy in the European Macaronesia Sea Basin, and provide a basis for maritime spatial planning processes at a regional level. The results show that some maritime sectors are well established while others have varying long-term growth potential. The European Macaronesia example has the potential to act as a good practice for promoting sustainable blue economy in other similar geographical settings.

Summary: This study combines multiple systems to understand the schooling behavior and adaptive features of farmed gilthead sea bream in high stocking density conditions. The results show that high density fish exhibit adaptive behavior, such as changes in feeding behavior and enhanced endogenous swimming activity rhythm, but also experience reduced growth rates and limited oxygen availability.

Summary: This paper introduces SAMBA, a computational tool that uses a Bayesian network approach to model the network structure and interactions of fish gut microbiomes in aquaculture systems. SAMBA can infer the influence of farming conditions on microbiome diversity and predict changes under different conditions. It is worth noting that SAMBA can be used for modeling microbiome-host network relationships of any vertebrate organism, including humans, in any system and/or ecosystem.
