AI Article Synopsis
- Catfish is a key aquaculture species in the U.S. but faces threats from bacterial diseases and environmental stresses like high temperatures and low oxygen.
- Research has focused on the host's response to these challenges, leading to advancements in understanding through genome sequencing and association studies.
- The article reviews recent findings related to catfish's molecular responses to infections and stress, and highlights progress in identifying genetic factors that contribute to disease resistance and stress tolerance.
Article Abstract
Catfish is one of the major aquaculture species in the United States. However, the catfish industry is threatened by several bacterial diseases such as enteric septicemia of catfish (ESC), columnaris disease and disease, as well as by abiotic stresses such as high temperature and low oxygen. Research has been conducted for several decades to understand the host responses to these diseases and abiotic stresses. With the development of sequencing technologies, and the application of genome-wide association studies in aquaculture species, significant progress has been made. This review article summarizes recent progress in understanding the molecular responses of catfish after bacterial infection and stress challenges, and in understanding of genomic and genetic basis for disease resistance and stress tolerance.
