To analyze the potential mechanisms of growth differences in spotted seabass () fed a low-phosphorus diet, a total of 150 spotted seabass with an initial body weight of 4.49 ± 0.01 g were used (50 fish per tank) and fed a low-phosphorus diet for eight weeks. At the end of the experiment, five of the heaviest and five of the lightest fish were selected from each tank as fast-growing spotted seabass (FG) and slow-growing spotted seabass (SG), respectively, and their livers were analyzed by metabolomics and transcriptomics. The hepatic antioxidant capacity of the FG fed a low-phosphorus diet was significantly higher than that of the SG. A total of 431 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were determined in the two groups, and most of the DEGs were involved in metabolism-related pathways such as steroid biosynthesis, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and protein digestion and absorption. Substance transport-related regulators and transporters were predominantly up-regulated. Furthermore, a large number of metabolites in the liver of FG were significantly up-regulated, especially amino acids, decanoyl-L-carnitine and dehydroepiandrosterone. The integration analysis of differential metabolites and genes further revealed that the interaction between protein digestion and absorption, as well as phenylalanine metabolism pathways were significantly increased in the liver of FG compared to those of the SG. In general, FG fed a low-phosphorus diet induced an enhancement in hepatic immune response, substance transport, and amino acid metabolism. This study provides new information on genetic mechanisms and regulatory pathways underlying differential growth rate and provides a basis for the foundation of efficient utilization of low-phosphorus diets and selective breeding programs for spotted seabass.

A 10-week feeding trial, followed by 24-h nitrite stress, was performed to evaluate the effects of dietary selenium-L-methionine (Se-Met) on growth, Se accumulation, antioxidant capacity, transcripts of selenoproteins and histological changes of muscle as well as resistance to nitrite stress in spotted seabass () reared at optimal (27 °C) and high (33 °C) temperatures. Five experimental diets were formulated to contain 0, 0.9, 1.

Our study aims to examine the changes of long-term high temperature on the mortality and health status of spotted seabass (Lateolabrax maculatus), as well as to screen suitable biomarkers to determine whether the spotted seabass is under heat stress. In this study, 360 juvenile spotted seabass were evenly distributed into three temperature-controlled systems at 27 °C (N, normal temperature), 31 °C (M, moderate temperature), and 35 °C (H, high temperature) for an 8-week aquaculture experiment. The results revealed that 35 °C water temperature significantly increased the mortality and the MDA content in tissues (P < 0.
