In the context of global warming and continuous high temperatures in the northern part of China in summer, the mortality rate of Strongylocentrotus intermedius through the summer reaches 70-80 %. The protein regulatory mechanism of S. intermedius in response to high temperature stress is still unclear.

The effects of different processing methods on the nutritional components of sea cucumber () are of concern to consumers who select sea cucumber products. This study employed liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to examine the metabolites in fresh, unsoaked salted, soaked salted, and instant sea cucumber body wall samples sourced from Dalian, China. Metabolites were evaluated utilizing partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and subsequently subjected to KEGG metabolic pathway analysis for further investigation.

The industry has expanded significantly, but no research has focused on determining the age of during farming. Correctly estimating the age of can provide a decision-making basis for the breeding process and data for the protection of aquatic germplasm resources. DNA methylation levels in the body wall of Apostichopus japonicus at 4 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years old were determined using MethylRAD-Seq, and differentially methylated genes were screened.

Polyploid breeding can produce new species with a faster growth rate, higher disease resistance, and higher survival rate, and has achieved significant economic benefits. This study investigated the protein differences in the body wall of triploid Apostichopus japonicus and diploid A. japonicus using isotope-labeled relative and absolute quantitative Tandem Mass Tag technology.

Article Synopsis
  • In 2020, high summer temperatures due to global warming led to an 80% mortality rate in a key sea urchin species in northern China, prompting concerns in academia and industry.
  • The study analyzed the antioxidant enzyme activities and genetic responses (via RNA-Seq) of different color tube-footed sea urchins under heat stress, finding significant changes in red tube-footed sea urchins.
  • Researchers identified 1,079 differentially expressed genes, 11 differentially expressed miRNAs, and several key markers that indicate how sea urchins adapt to high temperatures, providing insights for future breeding efforts.

Strongylocentrotus intermedius is one of the most economically valuable sea urchin species in China, and its growth and survival are severely constrained by ocean warming and the hypoxia that often accompanies high water temperatures. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of S. intermedius that regulate gene expression in response to multi-causal environmental stresses.

Breeding of polyploid aquatic animals is still an important approach and research hotspot for realizing the economic benefits afforded by the improvement of aquatic animal germplasm. To better understand the molecular mechanisms of the growth of triploid sea cucumbers, we performed gene expression and genome-wide comparisons of DNA methylation using the body wall tissue of triploid sea cucumbers using RNA-seq and MethylRAD-seq technologies. We clarified the expression pattern of triploid sea cucumbers and found no dosage effect.

The sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) has become increasingly important aquaculture with the rapid expansion of farming in China and its commercial popularity in Asia. Price varies significantly among sea cucumber species, and since visual differentiation is difficult, food fraud is likely to occur. In this study, we report an analysis of body wall metabolites of the sea cucumber (A.

Fatty acid desaturases (Fads) are a key enzyme in the process of biosynthesis of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs). In this study, we cloned the full-length sequence of the SiFad1 gene (SiFad1) and analyzed its expression profiles during different developmental stages and in different tissues of Strongylocentrotus intermedius. The full-length cDNA of SiFad1 is composed of 1086 bp, with a putative open reading frame of 885 bp encoding a polypeptide of 294 amino acid (AA) residues.
