Article Synopsis
  • * This study created a high-quality genome assembly of striped catfish, crucial for the aquaculture industry in Vietnam, resulting in a 788.4 Mb genome with 381 scaffolds and improved structuring into 30 chromosome groups.
  • * The new assembly shows significant enhancements over previous versions, including higher identification of repeat elements and BUSCO genes, and will serve as an important genomic resource for research in genetics, conservation, and breeding of striped catfish.

Article Synopsis
  • Juvenile striped catfish were exposed to increasing salinity levels from freshwater to 20 psu over a 14-day period, and their intestinal microbial profiles and gene expressions were analyzed at the beginning and end of exposure.
  • The study found that as salinity increased, the diversity of gut bacteria decreased, with notable changes in specific bacterial genera; Vibrio increased while Akkermansia decreased, and the presence of Sulfurospirillium was higher in fish subjected to saline treatments.
  • Additionally, the fish showed changes in gene expression related to osmoregulation and stress response, indicating adaptations to higher salinity levels, especially at 15 and 20 psu.

Phylogeographic patterns and population structure of the pelagic Indian mackerel, Rastrelliger kanagurta were examined in 23 populations collected from the Indonesian-Malaysian Archipelago (IMA) and the West Indian Ocean (WIO). Despite the vast expanse of the IMA and neighbouring seas, no evidence for geographical structure was evident. An indication that R.
