The aim of the present investigation was to assess the immune status in yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus) exposed to different concentrations of phenanthrene (Phe) for 14days. In addition, the Phe accumulation in the fish muscle was measured during the experiment. Fish were injected with different concentrations (0, 2, 20 and 40mg/kg) of Phe and samples were taken from tissue and blood of fish 1, 4, 7 and 14days after injection. Exposure of fish to Phe caused a significant decrease in white blood cells, C3 and C4 levels, lysosomal membrane stability, lysozyme activity after 4days and antibacterial activity after 7days of the experiment. In contrast, cortisol level significantly increased after 4days. The concentration of Phe in fish muscle increased rapidly after 4days. The main tissue changes observed in the head kidney including increase in melanomacrophage centers (MMCs), empty spaces between cells and hemorrhage. The degree of tissue changes ranged from normal to moderate in Phe-treated fish. The size and number of MMCs in treated fish were significantly higher than control. In conclusion, Phe toxicity in yellowfin seabream can induce increased cortisol level, tissue changes and immune suppression.

Maintaining an optimum transport density is essential for protecting water quality, lowering stress levels, and increasing fish survival rates. Transporting marine fish fry involves major dangers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of transport stress at varying densities on the immune-related gene expression, antioxidant capacity, and survival rate of yellowfin seabream () fry.

Phospholipid (PL) is an essential nutrient that has vital effects on growth, stress resistance, and early development in marine fish larvae. In this regard, a 30-day feeding experiment was conducted in order to examine the effects of live prey enrichment with graded levels of soy lecithin (SL) on some physiological responses of Acanthopagrus latus larvae. Four experimental emulsion levels of SL were used to enrich rotifer and Artemia including very low (2%, N-Nil), low (4%, L), medium (8%, M), and high (12%, H).

The xenobiotic metabolism driven by the gut microbiota significantly regulates the bioavailability and toxic effects of environmental pollutants such as plasticizers on aquatic organisms. However, it is still unknown whether the gut microbiota can exhibit variable metabolic ability across host species and which functional bacteria and genes are involved in xenobiotic transformation. This study investigated the enriched gut microbiota community composition and diversity of in vitro enrichment cultures from 6 marine species, namely, yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus), thorn fish (Terapon jarbua), shortnose ponyfish (Leiognathus brevirostris), mussel (Perna viridis), prawn (Parapenaeopsis hungerfordi) and crab (Charybdis riversandersoni).

In this study, a ddPCR method for the detection of scale drop disease virus (SDDV) in yellowfin seabream () was established based on Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR detection methods and principles. The reaction conditions were optimized, and the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and reproducibility were assessed. The results showed that threshold line position was determined to be 1900 by the ddPCR method; the optimum annealing temperature for SDDV detection by the ddPCR method was 60°C; the limit of detection was 1.

This study investigates the combined toxicity of microplastics (MPs) and florfenicol (FLO) on biotransformation enzymes and oxidative stress biomarkers in the liver and kidney of yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus). Fish were fed 15 mg kg of FLO and 100 or 500 mg kg of MPs for 10 days. Biomarkers, including ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase, glutathione-S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, malondialdehyde (MDA), and protein carbonylation (PC), were measured in both organs at 1, 7, and 14 days post-exposure.
