Through primer walking method, the mitochondrial genome sequence of white croaker (Pennahia argentata) from Japanese coastal water was obtained in this study. The mitogenome length of Japanese white croaker was 16,486 bp. The genome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes, a control region (CR) and a dominating non-coding region. The termination-associated sequence, the central conserved domain, and the conserved sequence blocks were identified in the control region. The origin of L-strand replication was located in a cluster of five tRNA genes between tRNA-Asn and tRNA-Cys.

is a common bacterial pathogen in aquaculture, often leading to visceral white spot disease in large yellow croakers (). Previous studies have found that certain aptamers show an efficient antibacterial effect against this pathogen. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome of to get insights into the antibacterial and inhibitions mechanisms following exposure to the aptamer B4.

Article Synopsis
  • Antarctic icefishes lack hemoglobin genes and have adapted to low temperatures with features like larger hearts, increased blood volume, and lower hematocrit to improve oxygen transport.
  • A genomic comparison revealed the loss of the FAAP20 gene, linked to anemia, and remnants of this gene in several icefish species, while another gene, SOAT1, related to cholesterol metabolism, was also lost.
  • The absence of FAAP20 may help explain the unique low hematocrit levels in icefishes, shedding light on their oxygen supply adaptations.

Settleable atmospheric particulate matter (SePM), from steelmaking processes, contains a complex mixture of metals, metalloids, and metallic nanoparticles. The SePM is released airborne and disperses in water, representing a significant threat to aquatic life, particularly fish. This study investigated the effects of a sublethal and environmentally relevant concentration of SePM (1 g·L) for 96 h in the gill, liver, kidney, and white muscle of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), employing exposure and effect biomarkers to test causality between metal accumulation and biochemical responses.
