Reparative effect of different dietary additives on soybean meal-induced intestinal injury in yellow drum ().

Soybean meal (SBM) is an acceptable replacement for unsustainable marine fish meal (FM) in aquaculture. However, we previously reported that high dietary SBM supplementation causes intestinal inflammatory injury in yellow drum (). Accordingly, a 4-week SBM-induced enteritis (SBMIE) in yellow drum trial was conducted first, followed by a 4-week additive-supplemented reparative experiment to evaluate the reparative effect of five additives on SBMIE in yellow drum.

A Comparative Study on Growth Performance, Body Composition, and Liver Tissue Metabolism Rearing on Soybean Lecithin-Enriched Nauplii and Microdiet in Rock Bream () Larvae.

This study is aimed at establishing optimal soybean lecithin (SL) enrichment protocols in nauplii and at comparing the growth performance, body composition, and liver tissue metabolism in rock bream () larvae reared on SL-enriched nauplii or SL-enriched microdiet (MD). The enrichment protocol experiment results indicated 12 h enrichment, and 10 g SL/m seawater could obtain desirable results. Rock bream larvae (25 days posthatching (dph)) were fed nauplii or MD for 30 days with three replicates.

Comparative Transcriptome Analyses Characterize Expression Signatures Among Males, Females, Neo-Males, and Gynogenetic Females in the Yellow Drum ().

The yellow drum () is one of the most important marine economic fish in China, and its sexually dimorphic growth makes it preferable for mono-sex culture. Although gynogenesis and neo-male induction techniques have been established, the molecular pathways and regulatory mechanisms of sex determination and maintenance in gynogenetic females and neo-males remains far from fully understood. In this study, the gene expression profiles were investigated in the gonads and brains of wild-type male, wild-type female, neo-male, and gynogenetic female yellow drum using comparative transcriptome analyses.

Chromosome-scale assembly and high-density genetic map of the yellow drum, Nibea albiflora.

The yellow drum (Nibea albiflora) is an economically important sciaenid fish in East Asian countries. In this study, we sequenced and assembled a near-complete gynogenetic yellow drum genome. We generated 45.

iTRAQ-based quantitative phosphoproteomics provides insights into the metabolic and physiological responses of a carnivorous marine fish (Nibea albiflora) fed a linseed oil-rich diet.

The limited production of fish oil (FO) cannot meet the increasing demand of the aqua-feed industry. Accordingly, the replacement of FO with sustainable alternatives such as vegetable oils has become imperative. Linseed oil (LO), which has an abundance of α-linolenic acid (ALA), is a promising FO alternative.

Overwinter mortality in yellow drum (Nibea albiflora): Insights from growth and immune responses to cold and starvation stress.

The yellow drum (Nibea albiflora) is an economically important maricultured fish in China, but the aquaculture of this species has recently been limited by an increase in overwinter mortalities associated with cold and starvation stress due to global climate changes. To better understand the interaction between starvation and cold-stress-driven overwinter mortality, we investigated the effects of these stresses on the growth performance, liver lesions, and immune response of yellow drum fish. The fish were subjected to different cold treatments and under starvation stress.

Molecular Cloning, Characterization, and mRNA Expression of Hemocyanin Subunit in Oriental River Prawn .

Hemocyanin is a copper-containing protein with immune function against disease. In this study, a hemocyanin subunit named MnHc-1 was cloned from . The full-length cDNA of MnHc-1 was 2,163 bp with a 2,028-bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a polypeptide of 675 amino acids.

Effect of dietary vitamin C on the growth performance and innate immunity of juvenile cobia (Rachycentron canadum).

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary vitamin C on growth performance, hematologic parameters and innate immune responses in juvenile cobia, Rachycentron canadum. Seven practical diets were formulated to contain 0.0 (as the basal diet), 13.
