To understand the gene expression in channel catfish liver after treatment with sulfamethoxazole, in this study, the treatment group received sulfamethoxazole (100 mg/kg bw), which was administered orally once, and samples were taken at 5 h, 12 h, and 6 d after the administration of sulfamethoxazole, while the control group was orally administered sterile water. To further identify potentially significant genes, a transcriptome analysis using RNA-seq was carried out.

By using the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process to simulate random disturbances in the environment, and considering the influence of jump noise, a stochastic Gilpin-Ayala mutualism model driven by mean-reverting OU process with Lévy jumps was established, and the asymptotic behaviors of the stochastic Gilpin-Ayala mutualism model were studied. First, the existence of the global solution of the stochastic Gilpin-Ayala mutualism model is proved by the appropriate Lyapunov function. Second, the moment boundedness of the solution of the stochastic Gilpin-Ayala mutualism model is discussed.

This study aims to determine the mass balance of robenidine hydrochloride (ROBH) in the body of Channel catfish (). ROBH was administered orally at a dose of 20 mg/kg; following drug administration, the water samples were collected at predetermined time points (12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 h), the experimental fish were executed after the water samples were obtained at 168 h, and the tissue samples were collected separately from the bones. The water and tissue samples were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) for concentrations of ROBH and its potential major metabolites, 4-chlorohippuric acid (PCHA) and 4-chlorobenzoic acid (PCBA).

Herein, the effects of Agaricus bisporus Polysaccharides (ABPs) on anti-channel catfish virus (CCV) infections to promote their application in channel catfish culture were explored. Transcriptome and metabolome analyses were conducted on the spleen of a CCV-infected channel catfish model fed with or without ABPs. CCV infections upregulated many immune and apoptosis-related genes, such as IL-6, IFN-α3, IFN-γ1, IL-26, Casp3, Casp8, and IL-10, and activated specific immunity mediated by B cells.
