Dietary gossypol reduced intestinal immunity and aggravated inflammation in on-growing grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella).

The present study explored the effects of dietary gossypol on the gut health of on-growing grass carp. The fish were fed six diets containing different levels of free gossypol (0, 121.38, 243.

Molecular characterization and expression regulation of Smyd1a and Smyd1b in skeletal muscle of Chinese perch (Siniperca chuatsi).

Smyd1 is a SET and MYND domain-containing protein, which functions as a histone methyltransferase for control of gene expression and regulates the skeletal and cardiac muscle differentiation. In this study, the full-length cDNA sequences of Smyd1a and Smyd1b were cloned from Chinese perch, and their molecular structure and expression profile in response to nutrition supply and in vivo IGF treatments were also analyzed. The cDNA sequence of Smyd1a and Smyd1b consists of 1862 and 1802 base pairs (bp), encoding 479 and 476 amino acids, respectively.

The phylogenetic placement of Siniperca obscura base on complete mitochondrial DNA sequence.

Abstract The extant freshwater sinipercids represent a group of 12 species and they are endemic to East Asia. In this study, we cloned and sequenced the complete mitochondrial DNA of Siniperca obscura from the Lijiang River. The size of the complete mitochondrial genome is 16,492 bp.

Analysis of the variable sites and phylogenetic studies of complete mitochondrial DNA based on the Siniperca scherzeri (Perciformes: Sinipercidae) from four different areas.

In this study, we cloned and sequenced the complete mitochondrial DNAs of Chinese mandarin fish, Siniperca scherzeri populations from four different areas of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River systems in China. In the Yangtze River system, fish samples were taken from three regions, Dongting Lake (DT), Poyang Lake (PL) and Xiangjiang River (XR). In the Pearl River system, fish samples were collected from the Lijiang River (LR).
