By using central composite experimental design and response surface method, the joint effects of water temperature (16-40 degrees C) and salinity (10-50) on the expression of gill Hsp70 gene in Pinctada martensii (Dunker) were studied under laboratory conditions. The results showed that the linear and quadratic effects of temperature on the expression of gill Hsp70 gene were significant, the linear effect of salinity was not significant, while the quadratic effect of salinity was significant. The interactive effect of temperature and salinity was not significant, and the effect of temperature was greater than that of salinity. The model equation of the gill Hsp70 gene expression was established, with the R2, Adj. R2, and Pred. R2 as high as 98.7%, 97.4%, and 89.2%, respectively, suggesting that the overarching predictive capability of the model was very satisfactory, and could be practicably applied for prediction. Through the optimization of the model, the expression of the gill Hsp70 gene reached its minimum (0.5276) when the temperature was 26.78 degrees C and the salinity was 29.33, with the desirability value being 98%. These experimental results could offer theoretical reference for the high expression of gill Hsp70 gene in P. martensii, the maintenance of cell internal environment stability, and the enhancement of P. martensii stress resistance.

The prevalence of heatwave and hypoxia events and their devastating impacts on aquatic ecosystems and fishery resources reinforces the priority of research to address the resilience and adaption mechanisms to these two stressors in important fish species. However, our understanding of the development of cross-tolerance of these two stressors in fish still limited. Here, we investigated the impacts of prior heatwave exposure on hypoxia tolerance and the underlying mechanisms in silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), a species of considerable ecological and commercial importance.

Metallic nanoparticles, with their large surface area to volume ratio, are increasingly important in various life fields, but they can cause varying toxic effects on fish. This study investigates the toxicological effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on rainbow trout (), focusing on hematological, biochemical, antioxidant, and histopathological changes. Fish were exposed to varying concentrations of AgNPs (0.

Clarias dussumieri, an air breathing catfish endemic to the Western Ghats in India, is categorized as 'Near Threatened' by the IUCN. This species is of high regional consumer demand and is one of the prioritized candidate species for aquaculture diversification and conservation. Despite its ecological and commercial significance, comprehensive studies on its immune system are lacking.

Heat shock proteins 70 KDa (Hsp70s) engage in a broad spectrum of cellular functions in response to various stressors. Marine bivalves face substantial threats from the rising seawater temperature attributed to global warming. In the present study, expression patterns of Hsp70s in Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri (CfHsp70s) were determined in embryos and larvae at all developmental stages, in healthy adult tissues, and across four various tissues exposed to high temperature for acute and chronic periods through in silico analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how iron nanoparticles (Fe-NPs) can improve the thermal tolerance of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (a type of fish) exposed to high temperatures and toxic substances like arsenic and ammonia.
- Fe-NPs were synthesized using environmentally friendly methods from fish gills and were added to the fish's diet in varying amounts, with 15 mg/kg showing significant results in improving temperature tolerance.
- Not only did the 15 mg/kg supplementation lower critical and lethal thermal minimums, but it also raised critical and lethal thermal maximums while enhancing the expression of important stress-related genes, indicating that Fe-NPs successfully help the fish cope with thermal stress.
