In this study, healthy grass carp with an average weight of 214.6 ​± ​18.7 ​g were selected for long-term culture in recirculating aquaculture systems at three different dissolved oxygen concentrations, i.e., 3.00 ​mg/L [(2.57 ​± ​0.33) mg/L, DO<sub>2.57</sub>), 5.00 ​mg/L [(4.61 ​± ​0.11) mg/L, DO<sub>4.61</sub>], which was the control group, and 7.00 ​mg/L [(6.50 ​± ​0.48) mg/L, DO<sub>6.50</sub>]. Blood, gill, muscle, and liver samples were collected after 60 ​days. Using hematoxylin-eosin (HE), alcian blue periodic acid Schiff (AB-PAS) staining, determination of respiratory metabolism enzyme activity, and fluorescent quantitative PCR, the adaptability of juvenile grass carp facing different dissolved oxygen levels were explored. The results showed that the respiration rate increased, and hemoconcentration and hemoglobin (Hb), electrolyte and pH changed at DO<sub>2.57</sub>. Furthermore, gill lamellae became thinner and longer, the distance between them increased, the mucus on them decreased and the interstitial cell mass decreased. In addition, the relative expression of apoptosis-related genes <em>bcl-2</em> and <em>bcl-xl</em> in gill tissue decreased, while <em>caspase-3</em> and <em>bax</em> increased. In muscles and liver tissues, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and lactic acid content (LA) increased, pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity decreased, and genes related to the respiratory metabolic enzymes <em>PDH-A4</em> and <em>PDH-E1α</em> also changed accordingly. The oxygen consumption rate decreased significantly (<em>P</em> ​&lt; ​0.05). At DO<sub>6.50</sub>, the distance between gill lamellae, numbers of red blood cells (RBC) and the content of hemoglobin decreased wheras the mucus on gill lamellae increased. The activity of PDH, the expression of <em>PDH-E1a</em> in liver and oxygen consumption rate increased. Different dissolved oxygen concentrations affected the respiratory behavior, gill tissue structure, blood transport capacity and tissue enzyme activity of juvenile grass carp. In summary, juvenile grass carp showed different adaptation strategies when facing different dissolved oxygen concentrations over prolonged periods in recirculating aquaculture systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101277,"journal":{"name":"Water Biology and Security","volume":"2 4","pages":"Article 100202"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49728841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adult zebrafish were exposed to the antibiotic oxytetracycline (OxyT) or control tank water and their intestinal content was harvested after 30 ​h (24 ​h exposure, 6 ​h wash-out). Subsequently, zebrafish embryos were exposed to either OxyT-treated content or non-treated content from 3 to 6 days post fertilization (dpf).

Zebrafish larvae exposed to OxyT-treated adult gut content (3–6 dpf) showed an altered microbiota composition compared to controls. Interestingly, larvae exposed to saponin-treated OxyT-content showed fewer macrophages (as visualized by fluorescent microscopy using mpx:GFP<sup>114</sup>;mpeg:mCherry transgenic fish) in the overall fish as well as around the gut area than saponin-treated control-exposed larvae. Fewer macrophages were associated with a decreased expression of interleukin 22 (<em>il22</em>) in larvae exposed to saponin-treated OxyT-content compared to controls.

However, in viviparous fish that undertake fertilization and embryo development <em>in vivo</em>, transplantation is more difficult than in oviparous fish, including selection of transplantation stage, isolation of germ stem cells, and preparation of sterile recipients. This seriously restricts the development of viviparous transplantation. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to explore a transplantation method suitable for these species. Donor cells were isolated from cryopreserved whole testes of 300–400 ​g male <em>Sebastes schlegelii</em> in May, labeled by PKH26, and intra-peritoneally transplanted into allogeneic larvae at 5–10 days post-birth. Subsequently, the development of donor-derived cells in recipients were continuously detected by fluorescence labeling, histology, microsatellite markers, and fecundity tests.

Further, donor-derived cells successfully migrated (100%), colonized, and incorporated into the developing recipient gonad (93.33%).
