Introduction: The Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, is one of the most commercially important marine shellfish in China. Cell engineering breeding is an important tool in abalone genetic breeding, and the triploids obtained through this method have high commercial value. However, current research mainly focuses on establishing induction methods and evaluating the growth traits of triploids, while there is a lack of basic research on triploid cytogenetics.
Method: In this study, Cytogenetic analysis of triploid Haliotis discus hannai larvae (produced by chemical treatment) and diploid larvae was performed.
Result: The results showed that triploid H. discus hannai had a chromosome number of 3n = 54, consisting of 30 metacentric (m) and 24 submetacentric (sm) chromosomes, while the diploids had a chromosome number of 2n = 36, consisting of 20 metacentric (m) and 16 submetacentric (sm) chromosomes. Notably, both triploids and diploids displayed variation in the number of NORs and/or their diameter. The average number of NORs in triploid was significantly higher than that in diploids (p < 0.05), but the average diameter of NORs of triploid was no significant different from that of diploid (p > 0.05). Additionally, 5S rDNA localization to 3 submetacentric chromosomes was observed in triploids, compared to 2 submetacentric chromosomes in diploids. The number of 18S rDNA sites displayed positional conservancy and quantitative variability in both diploids and triploids. Specifically, 18S rDNA was found at the end of the chromosome in both groups, with triploids exhibiting a significantly higher number of loci than diploids (p < 0.01).
Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the cytogenetic characteristics of triploid H. discus hannai, which could facilitate further research on the stability of the chromosome set in this species.

The present study explores the x-box binding protein 1 (xbp1) gene in Haliotis discus hannai (Pacific abalone), focusing on its structure, expression, and functional role under heat stress. Southern blot revealed two copies of xbp1 in the intestine and mantle, one in the gill and muscle, and no detection in the digestive gland. mRNA expression levels were highest in the gill, followed by the mantle, intestine, and muscle, with the digestive gland showing the lowest expression.

Article Synopsis
- Sperm and eggs have specific proteins called gamete recognition proteins (GRPs) that influence their compatibility in fertilization, and this study focuses on the VERL receptor in two abalone species.
- The full-length VERL sequences were found to be different in Pacific abalone (11,373 bp) and giant abalone (9,405 bp), with variations in their amino acid compositions and repeats.
- Notably, the study discovered a relationship between VERL genotypes and mating preferences in giant abalone, highlighting amino acid diversity's role in fertilization and providing insights for improving abalone breeding practices.

Few studies are concerned with the effect of the conjugat protein on the bioactivities of the abalone gonad polysaccharide (AGP). In this study, a series of treatments, including raw material (female and male) defatting, extraction temperature (25-121 °C), proteolysis, ultrafiltration, and ethanol precipitation, was conducted to investigate the role of the conjugate protein on AGP anticoagulant activity. All AGP extracts significantly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and thrombin time (TT).

The low temperatures in winter, particularly the cold spells in recent years, have posed significant threats to China's abalone aquaculture industry. The low temperature tolerance of cultured abalone has drawn plenty of attention, but the metabolic response of abalone to low-temperature stress remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the metabolomic analysis of Pacific abalone () during low-temperature stress.

Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed how replacing fish meal with soybean protein sources (SPC and SBM) affects the intestinal microbiota of abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) and their health over a 110-day feeding period.
- - While overall diversity in microbiota (α-diversity) remained similar across groups, significant changes in specific gut bacteria were observed, with high numbers of unique bacterial types (OTUs) in the SBM50 group and lower in the control (FM).
- - Importantly, the SPC25 group showed reduced pathogenic bacteria, and specific diets influenced digestive and immune functions, indicating that feeding 50% SBM and 25% SPC promotes healthier intestinal microbiota in abalone.
