TLR22 is exclusively present in teleosts and amphibians and is expected to play the distinctive role in innate immunity. In this study, we cloned the full-length cDNA sequence of yellowtail (Seriola lalandi) TLR22 (SlTLR22). The complete cDNA sequence of SlTLR22 was 4208 bp and encodes a polypeptide of 961 amino acids. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence indicated that SlTLR22 has typical structural features of proteins belonging to the TLR family. These included 17 LRR domains (residues 91-633) and one C-terminal LRR domain (LRR-CT, residues 693-744) in the extracellular region, and a TIR domain (residues 800-943) in the cytoplasmic region. Comparison with homologous proteins showed that the deduced SlTLR22 has the highest sequence identity to turbot TLR22 (76%). Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) analysis demonstrated the constitutive expression of SlTLR22 mRNA in all examined tissues with higher levels in the head kidney, intestine, skin and spleen. Further, SlTLR22 expression was significantly up-regulated following TLR ligands injection with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), CpG ODN2006 and polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) in spleen and liver. Amyloodinium ocellatum infection also induced a high expression of SlTLR22 in spleen, intestine, muscle, skin and gill, with maximum increases ranging from 1000 to 100 fold upon different ligands and organs. Finally, histological examination in gill tissue confirmed infection by the parasite and histopathological lesion was observed also in spleen and skin. These findings suggest a possible role of SlTLR22 in the immune responses to the infections of a broad range of pathogens that include DNA and RNA viruses and parasites.

Cold stress is an extreme environmental stressor that constrains the economic development of aquaculture. Yellowtail kingfish (Seriola aureovittata) is a commercially important fish species, but its molecular mechanisms in response to cold stress remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the transcriptional response of yellowtail kingfish liver to cold stress (10 °C) using RNA-sequencing analysis.

We herein provide a supplemental description of Benedenia seriolae (Yamaguti, 1934) Meserve, 1938 (Monogenoidea: Capsalidae Baird, 1853) based on specimens we collected from the skin of wild-caught greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Our specimens of B. seriolae from the GOM resemble those of Benedenia humboldti Baeza, Sepúlveda, and González, 2019 (from yellowtail amberjack, Seriola lalandi Valenciennes, 1833 [Carangidae] off Chile) by having a large body (>7000 μm in total length), non-overlapping anterior and posterior hamuli, an entirely sinistral and convoluted vas deferens, and a common genital pore as well as by lacking glands of Goto.

Article Synopsis
- Spexin (SPX1) is a 14-amino acid neuropeptide important for various physiological functions, acting through receptors GALR2 and GALR3.
- The study found that SPX1 increases certain cellular activities (CRE-luc, SRE-luc, NFAT-RE-luc) in COS-7 cells via multiple signaling pathways, including PKA, PKC, and calcium routes, depending on which GALR receptor is activated.
- These findings suggest that SPX1 can lead to diverse biological actions by interacting with different galanin receptors in yellowtail kingfish, highlighting the complexity of its signaling mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
- Temperature and nutrition are key factors influencing the survival of fish larvae during their transition from feeding on yolk (endogenous) to feeding in the environment (exogenous).
- In a study, Seriola rivoliana was observed under different temperature conditions and enrichment diets for rotifers to evaluate their effects on larval growth and survival.
- The findings revealed that daily temperature fluctuations positively affected larval survival, while certain enrichment diets, particularly Domestic emulsion, resulted in larger larvae and higher expression of the trypsin gene compared to others.

Article Synopsis
- Sexual dimorphism in immunity shows that males and females have different immune responses, with females typically having stronger immunity due to oestrogens, while males are more prone to infections.
- Research on fish, specifically yellowtail kingfish juveniles, indicates that males display significantly better innate immune responses compared to females, suggesting that females could be more susceptible to pathogens.
- The study highlights the need for further exploration of sex-based immune differences in fish, which could inform breeding practices and disease management in aquaculture.
