MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that can regulate the immune responses during pathogen infection. Aeromonas salmonicida (A. salmonicida) subsp. salmonicida is the causative agent of furunculosis in salmon and trout. To identify the miRNAs and investigate the specific miRNAs in rainbow trout upon A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida infection, we performed high throughput sequencing using the spleens of rainbow trout infected with and without an A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida clinical isolate. A total of 381 known miRNAs and 926 novel miRNAs were identified. Eleven known and 16 novel miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed upon infection. The results of Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses indicated that the target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs were closely associated with immune responses and biological regulations. Additionally, over- and suppressed expression of miR-155-5p significantly enhanced and reduced the IL-2 and IL-1β expressions in RTG-2 cells induced by A. salmonicida, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first experimental study on the miRNAs of rainbow trout upon A. salmonicida infection. The results here might lay a foundation for the further understanding of the roles of miRNAs in the immune responses during A. salmonicida infection in rainbow trout.

Global warming poses a significant threat to aquaculture, particularly for cold-water species like rainbow trout (). Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying stress responses is crucial for developing resilient strains. This study investigates the dual stress of salinity and temperature response of "Shuike No.

6PPD-quinone (N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine quinone), a transformation product of the antiozonant 6PPD (N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine) is a likely causative agent of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) pre-spawn mortality. Stormwater runoff transports 6PPD-quinone into freshwater streams, rapidly leading to neurobehavioral, respiratory distress, and rapid mortality in laboratory exposed coho salmon, but causing no mortality in many laboratory-tested species. Given this identified hazard, and potential for environmental exposure, we evaluated a set of U.

In May 2021, the M/V ship fire disaster led to the largest maritime spill of resin pellets (nurdles) and burnt plastic (pyroplastic). Field samples collected from beaches in Sri Lanka nearest to the ship comprised nurdles and pieces of pyroplastic. Three years later, the toxicity of the spilled material remains unresolved.
