A new cell line Japanese flounder spleen (JFSP) derived from the spleen of Japanese flounder () was established and characterized in this study. The JFSP cells grew rapidly at 29 °C, and the optimum fetal bovine serum concentration in the L-15 medium was 15%. Cells were subcultured for more than 80 passages. The JFSP cells have a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 68, which differs from the chromosome number of normal diploid Japanese flounder. The established cells were susceptible to Bohle virus (BIV), Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), Hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV), Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), and Lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV), as evidenced by varying degrees of cytopathic effects (CPE). Replication of the virus in JFSP cells was confirmed by qRT-PCR and transmission electron microscopy. In addition, the expression of four immune-related genes, , , , and , was differentially altered following viral infection. The results indicated that the cells underwent an antiviral immune response. JFSP cell line is an ideal tool for virology. The use of fish cell lines to study the immune genes and immune mechanism of fish and to clarify the immune mechanism of fish has important theoretical significance and practical application value for the fundamental prevention and treatment of fish diseases.

Due to the discharge of industrial wastewater, urban domestic sewage, and intensive marine aquaculture tailwater, nitrate (NO) pollution has emerged as a significant issue in offshore waters. Nitrate pollution affects aquatic life and may interact with other pollutants, leading to comprehensive toxicity. Cadmium (Cd) is the most widespread metal contaminant, adversely affecting aquatic life in the coastal waters of China.

Japanese flounder is usually gonochoristic, with gonads that are either testes or ovaries. Here, we report an unusual case of hermaphroditism in Japanese flounder captured from the Bohai Sea. In the intersex flounder, the membrane of the upper ovary was closely connected to the abdominal muscles and internal organs, and the eggs filled the entire abdomen.

Rbpms2, an RNA-binding protein with multiple splicing (Rbpms), can interact with RNAs to involve oocyte development, thereby influencing female sex differentiation in vertebrates. Here, two splicing variants of the Rbpms2 gene from Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) were identified, namely Rbpms2.1 and Rbpms2.

Ras-related associated with diabetes (RRAD) is a member of the Ras GTPase superfamily that plays a role in several cellular functions, such as cell proliferation and differentiation. In particular, the superfamily acts as an NF-κB signaling pathway inhibitor and calcium regulator to participate in the immune response pathway. A recent transcriptome study revealed that was expressed in the spleen of disease-resistant Japanese flounder () individuals compared with disease-susceptible individuals, and the results were also verified by qPCR.

As an important CXC chemokine, CXCL8 plays pleiotropic roles in immunological response. In teleost, CXCL8 is involved in cell migration and bacterial invasion. However, the immune antibacterial function of CXCL8 in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) (PoCXCL8) is largely scarce.
