Hematological parameters are crucial indicators of fish health, with poikilocytosis emerging as a fundamental marker with significant diagnostic value. Poikilocytosis refers to abnormally shaped erythrocytes in bloodstream, reflecting underlying physiological and pathological conditions. Poikilocytosis can occur in various fish species and can be influenced by environmental stressors, infectious agents, nutritional deficiencies, and exposure to pollutants. Morphological alterations in erythrocytes, such as acanthocytes, echinocytes, dacrocytes, schistocytes, spherocytes, and codocytes are common poikilocytes in fish. Understanding the relationship between poikilocytosis and fish health has important implications for disease diagnosis, monitoring, surveillance, and management. By quantifying poikilocytic changes, researchers and veterinarians can differentiate normal variations from pathological conditions, facilitating targeted interventions and treatment strategies. While most studies have focused on heavy metal toxicity, stressors, nutritional deficiencies, pollutants, and therapeutics, the etiological induction of poikilocytosis in fish health has been overlooked.

Abundant in fish and salt and easily accessible by boat, the ocean has not only facilitated trade and communication but also served as a reliable source of food for human beings. As terrestrial agriculture grapples with challenges such as land degradation, water scarcity, and ecological damage, attention is increasingly turning to the ocean. As the Earth's largest ecosystem, the ocean hosts a wealth of resources, particularly in terms of biodiversity. China, an exploiting pioneer of marine resources, has emerged as the world's leading provider of aquaculture products, with two-thirds of its seafood coming from aquaculture. China's shift from traditional fishing to systematic marine agriculture offers a new model for the global community. Central to this strategic shift is the concept of “Marine Ranching,” which views the ocean as a vast, ecologically managed farm. Successfully implementing this concept is crucial for ensuring food security, protecting ecological equilibrium, and driving economic progress. It also presents some innovative opportunities to explore the “Greater Food” approach, utilizing new spaces, methods, and technologies.</p><p>However, “Marine Ranching” goes beyond simply transferring terrestrial farming practices to marine environments. It represents the innovative development of aquatic production models based on a comprehensive understanding and protection of the marine ecology. This encompasses systems for breeding high-quality species, implementing sustainable farming practices, disease prevention and control, as well as advancements in pre and postproduction processing and quality management. The continuous, open, and intricate nature of marine ecosystems presents challenges in their management and monitoring. Ensuring the reasonable scale, ecological capacity, balance, and biological health of “Marine Ranching” across vast ocean areas demands extensive technological development and exploratory practice. Furthermore, the development of “Marine Ranching” is a multidisciplinary and multifaceted challenge, requiring interdisciplinary collaboration in aquatic biology, ecology, environmental science, biotechnology, engineering equipment, and information technology. Additionally, we must promote open integration, sharing, and application of data throughout the entire fishery industry chain, with the goal of achieving a harmonious balance among economy, ecological environment, and social benefits.</p><p>This special issue on “Marine Ranching” aims to serve as a platform for scholarly exchange in this field, facilitating the dissemination of the latest developments, discoveries, technological innovations, and perspectives in marine agro-pastoral research.

However, the expression and function of circRNAs in the wool curvature of Zhongwei goats are unclear. In our study, we conducted circRNA expression profiling of Zhongwei goat skin exhibiting divergent curvature wool phenotypes at two developmental stages using the RNA‐seq.

We further validated five circRNAs using qRT‐PCR, which were consistent with the sequencing results. Functional verification assay demonstrated that circRNA8782 regulated fibroblast proliferation.

At present, no safe and efficacious vaccine has been provided to prevent and control this disease. The pathogenesis and immune evasion mechanism of ASFV are still unknown, which seriously hinders the development of safe and effective ASF vaccines. Certain proteins of ASFV involved in immunosuppression helped to evade the host innate immune response. The cGAS-STING signaling pathway is important to the innate immune system. It induces the production of type I interferons (IFNs) and other cytokines by recognizing cytoplasmic DNA, mediating antimicrobial innate immunity through type I IFN, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathways. In the present study, E120R, a late-phase expression protein and a key virulent factor of ASFV inhibited cGAS-STING mediated promoter activities of IFN-β and NF-κB in HEK293T cells. The ectopic expression of E120R down-regulated IFN-β pathway by targeting interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and p65, inhibited the phosphorylation of STING, and further inhibited the phosphorylation of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and IRF3, with no significant effects on p65 phosphorylation. Additionally, E120R also inhibited the NF-κB pathways by inhibiting the nuclear translocation of p50 and p65, which was mediated by Sendai virus (SeV). Further, the study showed that the 61–80 amino acids sites in the C-terminal domain of E120R were crucial for these functions.

The colonic contents and colonic tissues were collected from two pig purebred strains (n = 8/group) with similar weights for multi‐omics analysis. By difference analysis of colonic microbiota, Min pigs observed a significantly higher relative abundance of Bacteroides, Phocaeicola, Roseburia, and Parabacteroides, and Yorkshire pigs had a strongly higher relative abundance of Streptococcus, Vescimonas, Ligilactobacillus, and Lactococcus. Functional annotation showed that the colonic microbiota of Min pigs had extensive dietary polysaccharide and immunomodulatory capacity.
