We explored the biotechnological applicability of a previously established olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) embryonic cell line (FGBC8). FGBC8 was transfected with pEGFP-c1 and pluripotency-related genes, then infected with viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), and the expression of immune-related genes was observed through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Transfected cells showed strong green fluorescence 48 h after transfection, and pluripotency-related genes were successfully transfected. In addition, FGBC8 cells were highly susceptible to VHSV and the expression of immune-related genes was induced during infection. Our results demonstrate that FGBC8 cells are valuable research tools for assessing host-pathogen interactions and biotechnological applications.

Aquaculture has grown significantly, contributing to global food security and sustainability; however, intensified fish farming has increased disease susceptibility and antibiotic resistance. This study assessed the probiotic potential of PSCPL13 (hereafter, PSCPL13), isolated from the intestines of Japanese eels, for enhancing the health of olive flounder. After screening 16 isolates, PSCPL13 was selected because of its potential broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against many pathogens, such as and .

Microsatellite markers are widely used in aquaculture for genetic analysis and breeding programs, but challenges such as segregation distortion and allelic instability can impact their effectiveness in parentage verification and inheritance studies. This study evaluated 15 microsatellite loci in seven experimental olive flounder () families bred through 1:1 full-sibling crosses, assessing their utility for accurate parentage and inheritance stability. Parentage assignments were conducted within an expanded pool of 647 candidate parents (including the actual 14 parents), encompassing both closely related and moderately distant individuals.

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic substance in the aquatic ecosystem, which can represent a high risk to fish. Fish are exposed to heavy metals through waterborne and dietary pathways, some of which are absorbed by the body and can accumulate in specific tissues without being eliminated. The accumulation varies depending on several factors such as dose, exposure route, exposure time, metal types, and biological status of the fish, and environmental parameters such as DO, salinity, pH, and metal speciation.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in activating naïve T-cells and bridging innate and adaptive immunity. This study aimed to identify and characterize CD83 and CD276 as potential markers for DCs in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Specific antibodies against these markers were developed and used to analyze their distribution in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) and intestinal tissues.

Single-cycle viruses hold great promise as fish viral vaccines due to their high protective efficacy. Although the efficacy of the vaccine in olive flounder and rainbow trout has been proven through previous research, safety must be additionally proven considering the environment of use for commercialization. This study comprehensively assesses the safety of rVHSV-GΔTM and its impact on both the host and the surrounding environment, including the coastal habitat of nearby species and seawater.
