Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of structurally related peptides that regulate processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and damage repair. In our previous study, fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (fgfr4) was detected in the most significant quantitative trait loci (QTL), when identified of QTLs and genetic markers for growth-related traits in spotted sea bass. However, knowledge of the function of fgfr4 is lacking, even the legends to activate the receptor is unknown in fish. To remedy this problem, in the present study, a total of 33 fgfs were identified from the genomic and transcriptomic databases of spotted sea bass, of which 10 were expressed in the myoblasts. According to the expression pattern during myoblasts proliferation and differentiation, fgf6a, fgf6b and fgf18 were selected for further prokaryotic expression and purification. The recombinant proteins FGF6a, FGF6b and FGF18 were found to inhibit myoblast differentiation. Overall, our results provide a theoretical basis for the molecular mechanisms of growth regulation in economic fish such as spotted sea bass.

Given the challenges of overcrowded coastal aquaculture spaces and insufficient production, utilizing saline-alkaline water areas represents a vital strategy to alleviate these bottlenecks. Spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus), with its formidable osmoregulatory capabilities, is an ideal candidate to develop a saline-alkaline tolerant strain. In our study, genotypic and phenotypic data from 287 L.

Spotted knifejaw (Oplegnathus punctatus) is an economically important marine cultured species exhibiting a unique complex sex chromosome system (XXXX in females and XXY in males), with males possessing one fewer chromosome (2n = 47) than females (2n = 48) and an abnormally large Y chromosome. Additionally, males demonstrate significant growth advantages over females. Rapid and accurate sex identification is essential for effective culture management, selective breeding, and population control.

We measured discards survival probabilities of thornback (Raja clavata) and spotted skate (Raja montagui) in tickler chain beam trawling (5 trips, n = 183 for thornback skate, n = 137 for spotted skate), pulse beam trawling (9 trips, n = 94 for thornback skate) and flyshoot fishieres (4 trips, n = 137 for thornback skate, n = 24 for spotted skate). Survival probabilities were measured by captive observation for 15 to 25 days post catch. All fishery operations were conducted in the southern North Sea (ICES division 27.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on spotted seals in Peter the Great Bay to measure the levels of halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs), revealing high accumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides despite regulations.
- *The research found that older seals had higher levels of hexabromocyclododecanes, and identified 35 additional non-target PCBs that are not regularly monitored, indicating a gap in current assessment methods.
- *Alarmingly, 95% of the seals had PCB levels surpassing safe thresholds, showing the urgent need for more comprehensive monitoring strategies to evaluate the health risks of HOPs to marine life.

Temperature is a crucial environmental factor for fish. Elevated temperatures trigger various physiological and molecular responses designed to maintain internal environmental homeostasis and ensure the proper functioning of the organism. In this study, we measured biochemical parameters and performed mRNA-miRNA integrated transcriptomic analysis to characterize changes in gene expression profiles in the muscle tissue of spotted sea bass () under heat stress.
