Pacific saury (Cololabis saira) is an important fish in several countries. Notably, the catch of this fish has markedly decreased recently, which might be due to environmental changes, including feeding habitat changes. However, no clear correlation has been observed. Therefore, the physiological basis of Pacific saury in relation to possible environmental factors must be understood. We sequenced the genome of Pacific saury and extracted RNA from nine tissues (brain, eye, gill, anterior/posterior guts, kidney, liver, muscle, and ovary). In 1.09 Gb assembled genome sequences, a total of 26,775 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 26,241 genes were similar to known genes in a public database. Transcriptome analysis revealed that 24,254 genes were expressed in at least one of the nine tissues, and 7,495 were highly expressed in specific tissues. Based on the similarity of the expression profiles to those of model organisms, the transcriptome obtained was validated to reflect the characteristics of each tissue. Thus, the present genomic and transcriptomic data serve as useful resources for molecular studies on Pacific saury. In particular, we emphasize that the gene expression data, which serve as the tissue expression panel of this species, can be employed in comparative transcriptomics on marine environmental responses.

Article Synopsis
  • A survey conducted in the Gulf of Mexico from September 2017 to December 2020 identified nine species of monogeneans (Hemirhamphiculus) infecting six types of beloniform fishes, with five new species described.
  • The study also involved the transfer of four previously described species to the Hemirhamphiculus genus and noted a new host record for one of them on a different fish species.
  • Additionally, three Indo-Pacific species were transferred to Hemirhamphiculus, and several former genera were synonymized with it, indicating a reclassification in the taxonomy of these parasites.

Pacific saury is one of the most economically important species in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The management of this resource relies on precise input of biological data such as body length and is often hindered by a lack of such data on captured fish. This study explores the potential of electronic monitoring (EM) using off-the-shelf stereo cameras to overcome the challenges of collecting and measuring saury body length from the Pacific saury fishery.

The Pacific saury () is a highly nutritious deep-sea fish, rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs). This study comprehensively investigated fatty acids composition and lipid profiles of different parts of Pacific saury based on an untargeted lipidomic strategy. Results suggested that the crude fat content of meat, head and viscera were 5.

In order to mitigate the risk of excessive heavy metal intake, a study was conducted to assess the levels of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and lead (Pb) contamination in 23 edible seafood species obtained from markets in Haikou. The findings were analyzed to evaluate the potential health hazards posed to the local population through consumption. The metals were detected via inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for quantification.
