As an essential environmental factor that affects the economic benefits of aquaculture, hypoxia is one of the urgent problems to be solved in the aquaculture fish breeding industry. Common carp () is a critical economic fish in China, and at present, there are many breeding strains of common carp with different character advantages in China, including Hebao red carp ( var ) and Songpu mirror carp ( var ). Even if the environmental adaptation of common carp is generally strong, the genetic background of hypoxia tolerance in different strains of common carp is unclear yet.

Pufferfish in different habitats show great variation in their TTX contents. Exploring the genes involved in TTX metabolism could contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying TTX accumulation, translocation, and detoxification in pufferfish.

- Community ecology theory posits that an individual's traits (phenotype) are influenced by the traits of others in their environment, which can shape evolution.
- A new mapping theory is introduced to identify genetic factors (interaction QTL) that influence how individuals interact, integrating mathematics and statistics to analyze these ecological interactions.
- In experiments with fish, a variety of genetic factors linked to social behaviors (like mutualism and aggression) were identified, showing that these interactions can significantly increase genetic variation within populations.
