Background: East African cichlid fishes have diversified in an explosive fashion, but the (epi)genetic basis of the phenotypic diversity of these fishes remains largely unknown. Although transposable elements (TEs) have been associated with phenotypic variation in cichlids, little is known about their transcriptional activity and epigenetic silencing. We set out to bridge this gap and to understand the interactions between TEs and their cichlid hosts.

Understanding the diversity and function of fish gut microbiomes has advanced substantially, yet many aspects remain poorly understood, particularly the interplay among microbiota, host species, and environmental factors in the context of conservation. This review explores the composition and abundance of gut bacterial communities in key aquaculture fish groups-cyprinids, ictalurids (catfish), salmonids, and cichlids (tilapia)-alongside the model organism zebrafish, across diverse geographic regions. The findings highlight environmental habitats and host species as primary determinants of gut microbiome structure, offering a global perspective on these microbial communities.

Within dominance hierarchies, individuals must interact in a rank-appropriate manner, thus behavior and its underlying neural mechanisms must change with social status. One such potential neural mechanism is arginine vasotocin (AVT), a nonapeptide which has been implicated in the regulation of dominance and aggression across vertebrate taxa. We investigated the relationship between social status, dominance-related behaviors, and vasotocin neuron counts in daffodil cichlids (Neolamprologus pulcher).

Oxytetracycline (OTC), an approved antibiotic for aquaculture, is under strict control and regulatory endeavour. This study compared the effects of oral administration of graded doses of OTC comprising the therapeutic (80 mg/kg biomass/day), subtherapeutic (40 mg) and overdoses (240, 400 and 800 mg) in male Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus fries (0.64 ± 0.

In the quest for an ideal wound healing material, human amniotic membrane (AM), tilapia skin collagen (TSC), and Centella asiatica (CA) have been studied separately for their healing potential. In this study, we formulated AM, TSC, and CA gel and studied their competency and wound healing efficacy in vivo. Gel was formulated using AM, TSC, CA, Carbopol 934, acrylic acid, glycerine, and triethanolamine and physicochemical properties e.
