Comparative transcriptomic analysis of hepatopancreas reveals that more genes are involved in the exposure response of Vibrio parahaemolyticus PirA compared to PirB.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP-) is regarded as one of the main pathogens that caused acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. PirA and PirB toxin proteins are the main pathogenic proteins of AHPND in shrimp. Knowledge about the mechanism of shrimp response to PirA or PirB toxin is very helpful for developing new prevention and control strategy of AHPND in shrimp.

Ecological risk assessment of heavy metal pollution in the water of China's coastal shellfish culture areas.

In order to learn about the status of heavy metals and ecological risks in the water of thirteen China's costal shellfish culture areas, principal component analysis was applied to analyze the distributions of five kinds of heavy metal, while the safety threshold method was employed to evaluate the ecological risks. The results showed that among the 13 shellfish culture areas, the average metal concentrations were in the order of Zn > Cu > Pb > Hg > Cd, and all heavy metals were below the second standards for sea water quality of China. The distribution of heavy metals in 13 shellfish culture areas was reflected by two principal components with the contribution rates of F1(Cu) and F2(Zn, Pb) were 36.

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Channichthyidae, neopagetopsis) with phylogenetic consideration.

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of was obtained, which was 17,634 bp including two ribosomal RNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a non-coding control region. In 13 protein-coding genes, there types of initiation codon (ATC, ATG, and GTG) and four types of stop codons (TAA, TAG, TA, and T) were identified. Among the 22 transfer RNAs, eight tRNAs were encoded by L-strand.

Gene expressions levels of 14-3-3a, NKCCla, A-14, and Na-K-ATPaseβ in gill tissue of Mugil cephalus acclimated to low salinity.

Fishes adapt to salinity changes primarily through osmotic pressure regulation, a process often associated with several genes, including 14-3-3a, NKCCla, A-14, and Na-K-ATPaseβ. The present study investigated the differential expression of genes 14-3-3a, NKCCla, A-14, and Na-K-ATPaseβ in the gill tissue of Mugil cephalus acclimated to low salinity. Susceptibility relationships between the four gene expressions levels and salinity were detected and analyzed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.

Effect of water accommodated fraction of 0# diesel oil and crude oil on EROD activity of liver of Sparus macrocephlus and its mRNA expression.

We studied the effect of water accommodated fractions (WAF) of 0# diesel and crude oil on ethoxy resorufin o-deethylase (EROD) activity and CYP1A1 mRNA expression quantity in the liver of Sparus macrocephlus. We found that there were some differences in the EROD activity and CYP1A1 mRNA induction between these two petroleum hydrocarbons. Both the EROD activity and CYP1A1 mRNA expression of fish exposed to 0# diesel WAF were higher than those of crude oil WAF fish.

Toxicity and accumulation of zinc pyrithione in the liver and kidneys of Carassius auratus gibelio: association with P-glycoprotein expression.

Zinc pyrithione (ZPT) is a broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal agent; therefore, it is widely used in industry and civilian life. It is discharged into the aquatic environment with industrial and civilian waste water. Carassius sp.

Analysis of Saprolegnia parasitica Transcriptome following Treatment with Copper Sulfate.

Background: Massive infection caused by oomycete fungus Saprolegnia parasitica is detrimental to freshwater fish. Recently, we showed that copper sulfate demonstrated good efficacy for controlling S. parasitica infection in grass carp.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence and gene organization of the rainbow runner (Elagatis bipinnulata) (Perciformes: Carangidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome information can play an important role in species identification, phylogeny, evolution research, genetic differentiation, and diversity. Here we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Elagatis bipinnulata (Perciformes: Carangidae). This circular genome was 16 542 bp in length, and included all 37 typical mitochondrial genes, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a putative control region.

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Gymnocypris dobula (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).

Gymnocypris dobula is listed as Vulnerable (VU) status in the IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species. In this paper, complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of G. dobula was determined.
