Three experiments including starvation and re-feeding, starvation and re-feeding recovery, and feeding frequency per day were conducted to approach the optimal feeding strategy for the growth and survival of juvenile Hucho taimen. In the experiment of starvation and re-feeding, all groups of restricted feeding showed non-compensatory growth. However, in the experiment of starvation and re-feeding recovery, different degrees of compensatory growth appeared in different starving groups, among which, the half a day starvation and half a day feeding group (S1/2) had a weight increment approximately the same as the control, and showed completely compensatory growth, indicating that the S1/2 could be a useful feeding strategy for the juvenile H. taimen at its early growth stage with the body mass from 0 to 2 g and at the water temperature from 9 to 15.3 degrees C. In feeding frequency experiment, the group T3 (three meals per day) had the highest body length, body mass, specific growth rate, and relatively high food conversion ratio, indicating that three meals a day could be more effective for improving the growth performance of juvenile H. taimen at its late stage with the body mass from 2 to 21 g and at the water temperature from 8.8 to 15.5 degrees C.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how starvation and refeeding impact the growth and food intake of gilthead seabream and seabass, as well as the growth of glasswort, in a 75-day aquaponic system with a salt concentration of 12 ppt.
- Nine aquaponic setups were tested with varying feeding schedules: a control group fed daily, a 4-day fasting group, and a 7-day fasting group.
- Results indicated that while 4 days of fasting allowed fish to achieve near control growth levels, the 7-day fasting significantly hindered growth; however, it positively influenced the growth of glasswort compared to the control.

Leptins and other related genes have been proven to play vital roles in food intake, weight control, and other life activities. While the function of leptins in yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) has not yet been explored, in the present study, we investigated the structure and preliminary function of four leptin-related genes in S. lalandi.

Article Synopsis
- CRF-like diuretic hormone receptors (CRF/DHR) are GPCRs that help regulate osmotic balance in insects and could be potential targets for new insecticides.
- The study focused on two DHR genes from the aphid species Rhopalosiphum padi, revealing that RpDHR1 expression rises after starvation and drops after RNA interference.
- Findings indicate that RpDHR1 plays a crucial role in helping aphids cope with starvation and dehydration, suggesting its potential as a target for developing novel insecticides.

Motilin is a gastrointestinal hormone that is mainly produced in the duodenum of mammals, and it is responsible for regulating appetite. However, the role and expression of motilin are poorly understood during starvation and the weaning stage, which is of great importance in the seeding cultivation of fish. In this study, the sequences of Yangtze sturgeon ( ()) motilin receptor () were cloned and characterized.

Article Synopsis
- Lysosome-associated membrane proteins (LAMPs) are important glycosylated proteins in lysosomal membranes that influence phagocytosis, autophagy, and immunity in mammals, but their functions in aquatic species are not well understood.
- In the study, three LAMP genes were cloned and analyzed in largemouth bass, revealing their coding sequences and high conservation across various fish species, as well as significant expression in key tissues, especially the brain, heart, and spleen.
- The research also demonstrated that these genes respond differently to starvation and refeeding, indicating their potential roles in immune responses and energy regulation in largemouth bass.
