This study aimed to assess the effects of 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) on the growth and reproductive performance of male Asian catfish (Clarias macrocephalus). A total of 36 immature male Asian catfish (ABW = 125.97 g) were randomly distributed into 12 circular tanks, and fed with either the control diet (with no MT) or diets containing MT at 60 mg·kg-1, 90 mg·kg-1, or 120 mg·kg-1 for 45 days. Results showed that weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR) and feed intake (FI) were significantly higher in the male catfish fed with diets containing 60 and 90 mg·kg-1 MT than in those fed with the control diet. Also, the diet attractability test revealed that the 60 and 90 mg·kg-1 MT groups significantly attracted more catfish than did the control diet; however, increasing MT to 120 mg·kg-1 reduced its attractability to the immature male catfish. MT-treated male catfish exhibited significantly heavier and significantly longer testes than male catfish fed the control diet at the termination of the feeding trial. These male catfish also exhibited significantly higher gonadosomatic indices (GSI) than catfish in the control group. Following induced spawning of nontreated female catfish and artificial fertilization of its eggs using testis preparation from the experimental male catfish at the termination of the feeding trial, results showed that testis preparations from all MT-treated males resulted in significantly higher fertilization (FR) and hatching rates (HR) of the eggs. In conclusion, incorporating MT to the diet improved both the growth and reproductive performance of the male Clarias macrocephalus. Precisely, dosages of optimal dietary MT using a quadratic model for maximal SGR, GSI, FR, and HR values were estimated to be 58.3, 75.0, 90.6, and 78.2 mg·kg-1, respectively.

Fisheries are an essential component of the national economy. The evaluation of fishery enterprises’ business performance helps reveal the fishery industry’s operating efficiency and serve the fishery economy’s sustainable and high-quality development. This study used the data of fishery companies with industry-finance integration on the stock market from 2012-2021 and conducted a comparative study on the business performance of fishery companies with industry-finance integration on the stock market based on the DEA-CCR model and DEA- Malmquist index method. Two main results were revealed (i) the integration of industry and finance was an effective means to improve business performance, and the financial gains from the integration of industry and finance by listed fishery companies improve the overall efficiency and total factor productivity (TFP) of enterprises. (ii) The average TFP of listed fishery companies in China is declining, and technological decline is the main reason for the decline in TFP.

Microbial fermentation techniques are often used to improve their quality, where the keys are fermentation strains and fermentation time. This study studied the interaction between microbiota and environmental (or nutritional) factors and microbiota at different fermentation times to determine the most appropriate time, using lactic acid bacteria as fermentation strains. It can be concluded that fermentation improved the nutritional value of soybean meals. In the early stages of fermentation, debris in soybean meal highly proliferated and destabilized the microbial community, while pH and nutritional conditions played an important role in helping its stabilization. In addition, we must pay attention to the interspecific interactions of microorganisms, which makes it easy to understand how the microbial community maintains community stability. A 4-day fermentation of soybean meal with Lactobacillus is recommended.

To investigate dietary calcium requirement of bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis), six purified diets were formulated to contain different concentrations of calcium (0.09% (control), 0.43%, 0.76%, 1.12%, 1.44%, and 1.79% of dry diets). Each diet was hand-fed to triplicate 30 fish with an average initial body weight (3.31 ± 0.09 g) for 60 days. The results showed that weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) significantly increased when dietary calcium level was from 0.09% to 0.76% (P < 0.05). The phosphorus and calcium contents of whole fish body were highest in the 0.76% and 1.12% group, respectively (P < 0.05). The serum phosphorus content in the 1.79% group was significantly lower than those in other groups (P < 0.05). As dietary calcium content was from 0.09% to 0.76%, the activities of lipase and proteinase in the intestine had a significant increase (P < 0.05), while the glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) activities were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Based on quadratic curve model analysis with WG and WGR as the appraising criteria, the appropriate dietary requirement of calcium for the bighead carp larvae (3.31 ± 0.09 g) was 1.01% - 1.02%.

The present study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of protection provided by dietary ulvan as observed in previous studies. Thirty shrimps (3.35 ± 0.08 g average body weight) were stocked in six polyethylene tanks (5 shrimps tank-1, treatments were in three replicate/tank) and were fed either a diet containing no ulvan (control) or containing ulvan at 1 g kg diet-1 for 35 days at 10% body weight twice daily. At the termination of the feeding, the shrimps were subjected to a white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) challenge test via intramuscular injection of the viral inoculum. Shrimps were sacrificed after 24 h of exposure, and the hepatopancreas was excised for total RNA extraction for transcriptome profiling. Biological validation of the RNA-seq results was also performed for 10 immune-related genes (6 up- and 4 down-regulated genes). A comparison of the ulvan group with the control group revealed that 69 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were significantly up-regulated, whereas 640 were significantly down-regulated. 184 DEGs between the control and ulvan-treated groups were classified into six KEGG categories of Metabolism (145 DEGs), Organismal systems (16), Human disease (4), Genetic Information Processing (10), Cellular Processes (2), and Environmental Information Processing (7). The 145 DEGs under Metabolism were distributed to Level 2 subcategories as carbohydrate metabolism (59 DEGs), global and overview maps (44), energy metabolism (27), and amino acid metabolism (15). All candidate immune-related genes (67) were down-regulated except for 5 genes. The validation experiment showed proportionality of gene expressions of the qPCR and of those in the assembled transcriptome, justifying the acceptability of the RNA-seq results. In conclusion, data from the present study provided mechanisms for protecting the white shrimp by dietary ulvan against WSSV infection.
本研究旨在阐明在以往研究中观察到的膳食素的保护机制。试验将30只平均体重为3.35±0.08 g的对虾放养在6个聚乙烯池中(5只池-1,3个重复/池)，饲喂不含ulvan的饲粮(对照)和添加1 g kg ulvan的饲粮-1，饲喂35 d，体重为10%，每天2次。饲喂结束后，肌肉注射白斑综合征病毒(WSSV)攻毒试验。暴露24 h后处死虾，切除肝胰脏提取总RNA进行转录组分析。还对10个免疫相关基因(6个上调基因和4个下调基因)的RNA-seq结果进行了生物学验证。与对照组比较，ulvan组有69个差异表达基因(DEGs)显著上调，640个差异表达基因(DEGs)显著下调。对照组和乌拉文处理组之间的184个deg被划分为6个KEGG类别:代谢(145 deg)、有机体系统(16)、人类疾病(4)、遗传信息处理(10)、细胞过程(2)和环境信息处理(7)。代谢下的145个deg被划分为2级亚类别:碳水化合物代谢(59 deg)、全球和概述图(44)、能量代谢(27)和氨基酸代谢(15)。除5个候选免疫相关基因外，其余67个候选免疫相关基因均下调。验证实验显示qPCR的基因表达与组装转录组中的基因表达成比例，证明了RNA-seq结果的可接受性。综上所述，本研究提供了饲粮中添加乌尔凡保护白虾免受WSSV感染的机制。

Alpha-amylase (AMY) and cathepsin-L (CTSL) were selected as candidate genes for SNP discovery for growth traits of P. monodon. Six SNPs were found in AMY and three in CTSL in P. monodon. Association analyses for the candidate SNPs with important economic traits were performed in populations. That allele A at CTLS-213 SNP, AA, and GA, tended to be associated with increased body weight. Shrimps with genotype GG had significantly smaller CL, CW, and CH values than those with GT and TT genotypes (P < 0.05). While CTLS-820 SNP was found to be significantly associated with CH and FSL (P <0.05). These SNPs will be valid for marker-assisted selection breeding programs in P. monodon.

In the study, the effects of selenium on intestinal tissue morphology, antioxidant-related genes, and intestinal flora of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were studied. For this purpose, 180 healthy grass carps (20.0±2.0 g) were randomly divided into three groups with three replicates each: the corresponding amount of anhydrous sodium selenite was added to make experimental water solutions of different concentrations, including 0 μg/L Se4+ (control group), 200 μg/L Se4+ group and 300 μg/L Se4+ group. The experiment was carried out for 42 days. The obtained results showed that: at the end of the experiment, the 200 μg/L Se4+ adaptation can have beneficial effects on the intestinal villi height and goblet cells. The CuZnSOD and CAT genes mRNA levels of grass carp intestine were strongly upregulated in the 200ug/L Se4+ group. 200ug/L selenium could increase the expression level of the Hsp70 gene in the intestinal tract of grass carp after 42 days of adaptation. At the genus level, the most abundant sequence in the gut of Se-treated grass carp was Pseudomonas, while Aeromon, Flavobacterium, and Defluviimonas were more abundant in the control group. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that 200ug/L Se4+ selenium adaptation can positively affect gut morphology and antioxidant responses and can alter the gut microbiota structure of grass carp. The results will provide a theoretical basis for further research on the effect of selenium on aquatic animals.

Penaeid shrimp is one of the marine germplasm resources in tropical and subtropical regions. To better understand shrimp germplasm resources and develop cultured shrimp species, the complete mitochondrial genome of Metapenaeus affinis and Metapenaeus ensis was assembled. The length of M. affinis and M. ensis mitochondrial sequences is 15,957 and 15,943, respectively. Both mitochondrial sequences contain 13 protein coding, 22 tRNA, and two rRNA genes. The GC content of the genome was 34.23% and 34.12% in M. affinis and M. ensis, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the M. affinis and M. ensis are closely related, and assigned to a branch of Metapenaeus. We assembled and published the mitochondrial genome sequences of these two species, which will provide important information for the research and utilization of shrimp germplasm resources.

A feeding experiment was carried out to develop a practical diet with low fishmeal for juvenile golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) by substituting fishmeal protein with soybean products mixture. Six isocaloric (17.6 KJ g−1) diets were designed by replacing 0 (FM100), 5 (FM95), 10 (FM90), 15 (FM85), 20 (FM80), and 25% (FM75) of the fishmeal with soybean products mixture (SPM) (soybean meal and soybean protein concentrate). The experiment diets were supplemented with 1.5%, 3%, 4.5%, 6% and 7.5% squid paste as attractants or palatability enhancer. The experimental fish (6.9 g) were cultured in sea cages (1.0 m × 1.0 m × 1.5 m) with 25 fish in each cage. Fish were fed the corresponding experimental diets to satiation twice daily for 8 weeks. At the end of the feeding experiment, no differences were found in the final weight and weight gain (WG) of fish fed FM100, FM85, FM80, and FM75 diets (P > 0.05). The WG was significantly (P < 0.05) better in the fish-fed FM95 diet compared to FM100 and FM75 diets. FCR in diet FM95 and FM90 was significantly (P < 0.05) than that of FM80 and FM75, but these values were not significantly different from those in other treatments. Although the condition factor value in diets FM90, FM85, and FM80 was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that of FM100, these values were not significantly different from the rest of the other groups. There was no statistical difference in SGR, FR, VSI, and survival rates among different dietary treatments. The plasma AST activity was significantly lower in fish fed FM90 diet compared to fish fed with control, FM85, FM80, and FM75 (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in plasma AST among all dietary treatments except FM95 and FM90. In contrast, the plasma AKP activity showed the opposite trend. Compared with the control, the fish-fed FM80 and FM75 diets had significantly decreased plasma cholesterol, triglyceride total protein, albumin, and globulin level (P < 0.05) while significantly increasing plasma COR levels (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in ALT, Urea and glucose values among all treatments. No statistical difference was observed among the FM100, FM80, and FM75 treatments for those of plasma LYZ activity, C3, and C4 levels. The hepatic T-AOC and SOD activities were significantly increased in fish fed the FM90 diet (P < 0.05) compared to those in fish fed with FM100 diet. According to the current experiment, it can be concluded that SPM supplemented with SP could partially substitute fishmeal (25%) for juvenile golden pompano without any adverse symptoms.

This study evaluated variations in gonadosomatic index (GSI), gonadal development stages, and hormonal spawning induction of Scatophagus argus in captivity. Male and female fish were cultured separately in net cages in Tam Giang lagoon, Central Vietnam, from January to December 2020. Five fish of each sex were randomly sampled monthly. Gonads were collected, GSI determined, and subsequently prepared for histology. Gamete quality was assessed with a light microscope. Spawning was hormonally induced with different doses of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and luteinizing hormone-release hormone (LHRH-A2). Gonadal development started to increase in March, peaking in July. The peak spawning period of the fish was from June to August, displaying the highest GSI value, sperm motility, and oocyte diameter. Only female GSI fluctuated significantly month-by-month (P<0.05). Histological examination indicated that S. argus is a multiple-spawner. Application of LHRH-A2 (70 µg/kg) stimulated spawning and resulted in better latency periods, fertilization, and hatching rates.
