Liver tumors were induced in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) 1 year after carcinogens were microinjected into embryos. Neoplasms were induced by a single injection of 13 and 25 ng per egg of aflatoxin B1 (CAS: 1162-65-8), 500 ng per egg of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (CAS: 57-97-6), and 250 ng per egg of 2-anthramine (CAS: 613-13-8). Over 70% of [3H]benzo[a]-pyrene (CAS: 50-32-8) injected into eggs was retained in hatched embryos, 120 hours postinjection. Exogenous activation of test compounds with the use of rat liver microsome preparation (S-9) increased the incidence of liver tumors in fish given injections of 25 ng aflatoxin B1. The amount of chemical required for the embryo injection assay was comparable to that required for the Ames bacterial mutagenesis assay.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are highly conserved endogenous non-coding RNAs that play a crucial role in fish immune response by regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. In recent years, the viral diseases caused by infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) have caused significant economic losses in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) aquaculture, whereas the immune regulatory mechanisms of miRNAs involved in rainbow trout resistance to IHNV infection remains largely undefined. In this study, we analyzed the structural characteristics of Oncorhynchus mykiss tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 3 (OmTRAF3) by bioinformatics software and explored the molecular mechanism of miR-203-3p in rainbow trout resistance to IHNV by regulating OmTRAF3 in vivo and in vitro.

ZnO and TiO nanoparticles (NPs) are widely employed for their antibacterial properties, but their potential environmental impact is raising concerns. This study aimed to assess their single and combined effects at environmentally relevant concentrations (210 μg L) on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) gills microbiota and immune functions. 16S rRNA gene sequencing performed after 5 and 28 days of exposure suggests that TiO NPs had a more immediate impact on bacterial diversity, while prolonged exposure to the mixture altered community composition.

Fish are ectothermic animals with temperature playing a key role in their health, growth and survival. Greater occurrence of heat waves and temperature extremes, as a result of global climate change, has the potential to impact both wild and farmed populations. Within aquaculture, production is threatened by a multitude of stressors, including adverse temperatures.
