Rising of temperature in conjunction with acidification due to the anthropogenic climates has tremendously affected all aquatic life. Small changes in the surrounding environment could lead to physiological constraint in the individual. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the effects of warm water temperature (32 °C) and low pH (pH 6) on physiological responses and growth of hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × Epinephelus lanceolatus ♂) juveniles for 25 days. Growth performance was significantly affected under warm water temperature and low-pH conditions. Surprisingly, the positive effect on growth was observed under the interactive effects of warm water and low pH exposure. Hybrid grouper exposed to the interactive stressor of warm temperature and low pH exhibited higher living cost, where HSI content was greatly depleted to about 2.3-folds than in normal circumstances. Overall, challenge to warm temperature and low pH induced protein mobilization as an energy source followed by glycogen and lipid to support basal metabolic needs.

With the increasing incorporation of plant-based ingredients into the grouper diet, the issue of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination in the diet has become a significant concern. In this study, the negative effects of AFB1 on the growth and liver health of hybrid groupers (♀ × ♂) were investigated in the context of growth, liver histology, serum biochemical indices, and integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic data. A total of 540 healthy hybrid groupers, initially weighing 11.

The S100 proteins are highly conserved EF-hand calcium-binding proteins found only in vertebrates. In the current study, two S100 genes (S100A1 and S100A10) were successfully identified and characterized from hybrid grouper Epinephelus lanceolatus♂ × Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀. The deduced S100A10 protein contained two EF-hand domains, and S100A1 only possessed the N-terminal EF-hand.
