  • Researchers studied growth differences in spotted seabass on a low-phosphorus diet, using 150 fish over eight weeks to identify fast-growing (FG) and slow-growing (SG) categories based on weight.
  • Analysis of the fish livers through metabolomics and transcriptomics showed that FG had a higher antioxidant capacity, and 431 differentially expressed genes were linked to metabolism, with many involved in processes like protein digestion and substance transport.
  • The study concluded that FG exhibited enhanced liver functions related to immune response and amino acid metabolism, providing insights for improving low-phosphorus diets and selective breeding practices for spotted seabass.

Article Abstract

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.

Article Synopsis
  • Low phosphorus (LP) diets disrupt energy metabolism in fish, particularly affecting liver functions and mitochondrial mechanisms, which are not well understood.
  • The study involved feeding spotted seabass and zebrafish diets with varying phosphorus levels and utilizing methods like Drp1 knockdown and PKA activation to analyze molecular changes and mitochondrial health.
  • Results showed that LP diets led to significant reductions in ATP and cAMP levels, while manipulating Drp1 and PKA pathways improved energy metrics in the liver, highlighting potential interventions for energy disorders in fish.

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.
