Hemiculter bleekeri bleekeri is a typical freshwater species that are mainly distributed in the river basins in China. The biological information of this species is very limited. In this study, we determined the complete mitogenome sequence of H. bleekeri bleekeri. The complete mitogenome of H. bleekeri bleekeri is 16 6173 bp in length, which contains 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes and 2 non-coding region, a rep region (33 bp) and a control region (D-loop). This work provides new information which is helpful for comprehending the molecular systematic, taxonomic status and evolutionary biology of this species.

: Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) are multifunctional transcription factors that play important roles in the transcriptional regulation of interferons and in the immune response to pathogens. Therefore, studying the interferon system in fish is highly relevant in the prevention and treatment of viral diseases. : In this study, five IRF genes (, , , and ) were identified and characterized in , and their expression profiles were determined after LPS and Poly(I:C) treatment.

Background: Sichuan taimen () is a fish species endemic to China's upper Yangtze River drainage and has significant value as an aquatic resource. It was listed as a first-class state-protected wild animal by the Chinese government due to its very limited distribution and wild population at present.
Methods: To elucidate the diversity of microorganisms in rearing water environments for , metagenomic sequencing was applied to water samples from the Maerkang and Jiguanshan fish farms, where were reared.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II genes in Hucho bleekeri, highlighting their crucial role in immune function and antigen presentation.
- The MHC II genes of H. bleekeri were found to be similar in structure and sequence to MHC II genes in other vertebrates, particularly salmonid fish, suggesting a close evolutionary relationship.
- Expression analysis showed that MHC II is widely present in various tissues, particularly in the spleen and kidney, and exhibited rapid response to immune challenges, although limited genetic variation was observed in MHC II alleles.

The hemicultrine fishes are a group of small-sized cyprinids, widely distributed but endemic to East Asian rivers and lakes. Till now, the taxonomic boundaries and relationships within this group remain poorly explored. In the present study, we study the phylogeny of this group, providing suggestions for classification of the hemicultrine group.

Alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) are discontinuous phenotypes associated with reproduction, observed in males of many species. Typically, large males adopt a tactic of competing with rivals for mating, while small males adopt a tactic of stealing fertilization opportunities from the large males. The 'birth date hypothesis', proposing that the date of birth influences the determination of each male's reproductive tactic, has been tested only in teleost fish to date.
