To assess the toxicological effects of heavy metal ions on fish at different flowing speeds within aquatic environments, we investigated the impact of Mn2+ and flow speed on the physiological parameters of juvenile GIFT tilapia (95.2±4.3g,15.1±0.21cm). The experiment design included four different levels of Mn2+ concentration: control group (0mg/L), 0.1mg/L, 0.5mg/L and 1mg/L, as well as three different flow speeds: control group (0 body length/second), low speed (1 body length/second), and high-speed group (2 body lengths/second). The main research findings were as follows: Mn2+ had varying effects on the hematological parameters of juvenile GIFT tilapia. As the levels of Mn2+ increased, there was a remarkable reduction in both the red blood cell (RBC) number and hemoglobin content of the fish(P<0.05). The activity of SOD, CAT, the level of MDA in the liver and white blood cell (WBC) number exhibited an initial increase followed by a subsequent decrease, with the highest levels observed mostly in the 0.5mg/L group. However, With the prolongation of Mn2+ exposure duration, a significant decline in levels of RBC, hemoglobin, CAT and SOD was observed. In most cases, the highest values of those, as mentioned earlier four physiological parameters were recorded at 24 hours, while the lowest values were recorded at 96 hours when exposed to the same Mn2+ level. However, MDA levels reached their peak at 48 hours. These findings suggested that lower levels of Mn2+ might enhance the immune capacity of tilapia, while higher levels could impede its immune and antioxidant functions. An increase in flow speed led to a significant elevation in both the RBC number and hemoglobin content of the GIFT tilapia at 30d(P<0.05), but flow speed had no significant impact on the WBC of the fish(P>0.05). Its effect on the fish antioxidant parameters also showed a certain induction, and there were significant correlations between the activity of SOD, CAT, the level of MDA, and flow speed (P<0.05). At the same flow speed, the prolonging water-flow-stimulus duration could not increase the levels of three antioxidant parameters(P>0.05). These findings could provide fundamental data for investigating the influence of heavy metal stress on fish ecotoxicology in aquatic environments and the artificial running water breeding of GIFT tilapia in Hebei province, China.

The pearl production through the pearl oyster Pinctada maxima’s culture has developed slowly over the past decades due to over-fishing of wild populations and mass mortality at juvenile stages. Indoor farming is an alternative mode for P. maxima juvenile cultivation to improve survival rates. In pursuit of optimizing healthy management under the indoor farming mode, the objective of this investigation was to compare the growth performance, digestion, and antioxidant capacity of juveniles fed with different microalgae-based diets (live Isochrysis zhanjiangensis, Platymonas subcordiformis, Chaetoceros muelleri; and spray-dried I. zhanjiangensis, P. subcordiformis, C. muelleri powder). The juvenile survival rates fed with spray-dried microalgae powder (except C. muelleri powder) were not significantly different from those fed on live microalgae. However, the growth performance of juveniles fed with spray-dried microalgae powder could have been better than the live one. The digestive enzymatic activities were consistent with growth performance, and diets affected the antioxidant capacity. The spray-dried I. zhanjiangensis powder can serve as a substitute for live microalga in P. maxima juvenile indoor farming and is recommended under controlled conditions. The findings from this study would provide essential data to improve health management for P. maxima juveniles in indoor farming conditions.

Grouper has become an essential mariculture species in China, while vibriosis caused by Vibrio harveyi significantly impacts its culture. Our previous study confirmed the V. harveyi formalin-killed cells vaccine (FKC) combined with chitosan oligosaccharide (FKC+COS) effectively prevents vibriosis. As an adjuvant, COS could significantly enhance FKC effectiveness against V. harveyi in grouper. In the present study, we performed transcriptome analysis of grouper spleens tissue 14 days post-immunization of PBS and FKC+COS, respectively. After assembly and annotation, 2,503 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained, including the upregulated 1,894 DEGs and downregulated 609 DEGs between the PBS group and FKC+COS group. To explore the relevance of DEGs in immunity, enrichment analysis in the KEGG database revealed that the main pathways of DEGs distribution associated with immunity were antigen processing and presentation, lysosome, the intestinal immune network for IgA production and FcγR-mediated phagocytosis. In conclusion, transcriptome analysis of spleens was performed to explore the potential mechanism of COS as an adjuvant enhancing the protection effectiveness of FKC against vibriosis in grouper.
