Article Abstract
Metabolomics is a systems approach to studying the small, endogenous metabolites in an organ, biofluid or whole organism. It can be used as a screening tool for metabolite profiling, or to detect changes in the metabolome brought on by external or internal stressors. The purpose of this review is to summarize and evaluate the information obtained from the application of metabolomics in fish research and to discuss its future potential. It is already clear that metabolomics has contributed new knowledge about fish in areas such as basic physiology and development, disease, water pollution and aspects concerning fish as foodstuffs.
Fish metabolism, growth, development, and physiological conditions are highly sensitive to fluctuations in water temperature. The Ussuri catfish (Pseudobagrus ussuriensis) is an important native economic species in China. However, research on heat stress in P.
Glyphosate (Gly), the world's most widely used herbicide in agriculture, can poison the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, via spray drift and surface runoff into surface waters. However, there is a paucity of research on the mechanisms that affect crayfish tolerance to Gly at typical environmental concentrations. To address this research gap, we investigated the effects of Gly stress (0, 6, 12, 24, and 72 h) at different concentrations (0, 1.
Hypoxia disrupts multiple physiological processes, including metabolism, immunity, and reproduction in teleosts. The brain plays a critical role in adapting to environmental changes, regulating the endocrine system, and controlling reproduction. The present study investigated the sex-specific cerebral responses to chronic hypoxia through an integrated analysis of the transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome of yellow catfish.
Actinomycetota are unrivalled producers of bioactive natural products, with strains living in association with macroalgae representing a prolific-yet largely unexplored-source of specialised chemicals. In this work, we have investigated the bioactive potential of Actinomycetota from macroalgae through culture-dependent and -independent approaches. A bioprospecting pipeline was applied to a collection of 380 actinobacterial strains, recovered from two macroalgae species collected in the Portuguese northern shore-Codium tomentosum and Chondrus crispus-in order to explore their ability to produce antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer and lipid-reducing compounds.

The problem of marine noise pollution has a long history. Strong noise (>120 dB re 1 µPa) will affects the growth, development, physiological responses, and behaviors of fish, and also can induce the stress response, posing a mortal threat. Although many studies have reported that underwater noise may affect the survival of fish by disturbing their nervous system and endocrine system, the underlying causes of death due to noise stimulation remain unknown.
