Article Abstract
A sensitive and reliable method for determining 25 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in Chinese mitten crabs and their ecosystems ranging from the growing environment to edible feed by gas chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry with advanced electron ionization (GC-AEI-MS/MS) was developed and validated. Accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) and liquid-liquid extraction were used to extract solid and water samples, respectively. On the basis of a traditional acid-base silica column, deactivated silica was added and -hexane elution was used to increase the effect of separation and purification. Two oven temperature programs were applied to achieve good separation of low brominated congeners and increase the sensitivity of high brominated congeners. The method provided good linearity (>0.9996). The recoveries of four matrices were in the range of 82-115% and the method quantification limits (MQLs) in crabs, feed, sediment and water ranged from 0.36-6 pg per g wet weight, 0.69-22.29 pg per g dry weight, 1.02-25.26 pg per g dry weight, and 2.43-40.14 pg L, respectively. The proposed method was used for ten samples from two aquatic sites and PBDEs were detected in Chinese mitten crabs, commercial feed and sediment, with the highest in crabs. This analytical technique can be used to monitor the content and the accumulation behavior of PBDEs in Chinese mitten crab ecosystems or other aquaculture systems.

In order to study the pattern of changes in quality of marinated Chinese mitten crabs (Eriocheir sinensis) during cold storage, three aspects of sensory, taste and odor were investigated. Sensory evaluation and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) were measured in viscera and abdomen muscle at 0, 7, 15 and 30 days of storage at 4°C. Sensory scores significantly declined at 15 d, coinciding with TVB-N levels exceeding 25 mg N/100 g.

Article Synopsis
- A significant pathogen affects shrimp and crab farming, particularly strains linked to acute hepatopancreatic necrosis syndrome, highlighting an unclear immune response to the infection.
- An experiment established an infection model that examined pathological damage and enzymatic changes in hepatopancreas tissue, resulting in 50% mortality in experimental animals after a specific bacterial injection.
- RNA-seq analysis identified thousands of differentially expressed genes associated with infection severity, revealing key pathways that may offer insights into the immune response and potential management strategies for affected aquaculture species.

Saline-alkaline aquaculture plays a crucial role in the ecological restoration of saline soils, yet high water salinity can significantly restrict the growth of cultured organisms. The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is typically farmed in freshwater, to evaluate the effects of salinity stress on these crabs, this study conducted laboratory aquaculture experiments at salinities of ≤ 0.5 (freshwater), 6, 12, and 18 ‰.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1), a scaffold protein, plays a pivotal role in the NF-κB pathway downstream of T-cell receptors (TCRs) and B-cell receptors (BCRs). As a key signaling hub, MALT1 integrates various pathways, making it essential for both innate and adaptive immunity. However, its role in the antibacterial immune responses of crustaceans remains unclear.

In mammals, caspase-8 primarily functions as an initiator caspase that regulates apoptosis, while in Drosophila, the caspase-8 ortholog DREDD not only induces apoptosis during development but also regulates antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) expression during Gram-negative bacterial infection-induced immune responses. However, the immune-related function of caspase-8 in the crustacean remains unknown. In the present study, the open reading frame of EsCaspase-8 was cloned from the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis).
