A recombinant plasmid, pMV-GH, containing rainbow trout growth hormone cDNA fused to mouse metallothionein I promoter, was introduced into medaka (Oryzias latipes) by electroporation. Of 3109 fertilized eggs treated with electric pulses (750 V/cm, 50 microseconds, 5 times), 783 (25%) hatched out. Four percent of the hatchlings were transgenic. To obtain transgenic lines, 180 hatchlings were maintained and 35 of them grew into adult fish. Two of these fish were transgenic. When one transgenic fish was mated with a normal female, the transgene was found in all the F1 offspring assayed. In F2 offspring obtained by mating transgenic F1 fish, 88% were transgenic.

Abamectin is an insecticide, miticide and nematicide that has been extensively used in agriculture for many years. The excessive use of abamectin inevitably pollutes water and soil and might even cause adverse effects on aquatic biota. However, it is currently unclear how abamectin exposure causes neurotoxicity in aquatic organisms.

How novel structures emerge during evolution has long fascinated biologists. A dramatic example is how the diminutive bones of the mammalian middle ear arose from ancestral fish jawbones. In contrast, the evolutionary origin of the outer ear, another mammalian innovation, remains a mystery, in part because it is supported by non-mineralized elastic cartilage rarely recovered in fossils.

Primordial germ cells (PGCs), the progenitors of gametes, are essential for teleost reproduction. While their formation is conserved across teleosts, the activation, migration routes, and localization periods vary among species. In this study, we developed a novel transgenic line, Tg(ddx4:TcCFP13-nanos3), based on the Nile tilapia genome, to label PGCs with clear fluorescent signals in the freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare).

Host-pathogen interactions and the design of vaccines for aquaculture fish viruses are challenging and call for innovative approaches. This study explores the potential of adenoviral (Ad) vectors Ad5 and chimeric Ad5/40 as gene delivery tools for fish brain cells susceptible to neurotropic viruses. For this purpose, European sea bass () DLB-1 and gilthead seabream () SaB-1 brain cell lines were infected with Ad5 or Ad5/40 vectors expressing GFP, and we evaluated their capacity for infection by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry, as well as their antiviral innate immune response by the transcription of gene markers ( and ).
