In this study, the cDNA of Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) was cloned from black-spotted frog, Pelophylax nigromaculatus, and termed PnIRF5. The results indicated, the full-length cDNA of PnIRF5 was 2090 bp, and a putative protein of 504 amino acids was encoded. The results of protein domain prediction suggested that PnIRF5 exhibited a DNA-binding domain (DBD), a middle region (MR), an IRF association domain (IAD), a virus activated domain (VAD), as well as two nuclear localization signals (NLSs). Phylogenetic analysis clustered PnIRF5 into the amphibian IRF5 subgroup in vertebrate IRF5 group. The results of qPCR show that PnIRF5 mRNA was expressed in all examined tissues, with higher levels were identified in the kidney, intestine, and lung. The gene expression of PnIRF5 was analyzed in kidney, spleen, and liver of black-spotted frog after challenged with Elizabethkingia miricola, and the maximum expression level of PnIRF5 in liver, spleen, and kidney were 1.80, 2.33 and 2.88 times that at 0 days post challenged, respectively. As indicated by the results, the PnIRF5 protein may take on critical significance in protecting black-spotted frog from E. miricola infection, and they may play a certain role in the immune response of black-spotted frog against bacteria.","PeriodicalId":14704,"journal":{"name":"Israeli Journal of Aquaculture-bamidgeh","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75130644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of the structural characteristics, simple repeat sequence (SSR) loci, relative species differences, codon preference, and phylogenetic relationships was conducted. The results revealed that the chloroplast genome of Saccharina sp. ye-E had a length of 130,624 bp, containing 139 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 6 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and 57 transfer RNAs (tRNAs) genes, and a total GC content of 31.1%. There were 15 SSR loci in the genome. Effective codon number (ENC) and codon adaptation index (CAI) both indicated the strong codon randomness and codon preference. The phylogenetic tree, based on the complete chloroplast genomes of 10 brown algae, showed that four species of Saccharina genus formed a clade, with Saccharina sp. ye-E and Saccharina latissimi having the most related genetic affinity. It is believed that the determination of the chloroplast genome of Saccharina sp. ye-E will be beneficial for future algal genetics evolution and systematic studies in the Laminariaceae.","PeriodicalId":14704,"journal":{"name":"Israeli Journal of Aquaculture-bamidgeh","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79174856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was carried out in a twenty-eight 400 l conical tank system that was stocked with 100 viable GSB eggs/l/tank. This allowed the testing of 4 levels of rotifer DHA; 0.99 (Low; L), 1.9 (Intermediate low; I-L), 3.2 (Intermediate high; I-H) and 12.1(High; H) mg DHA/g DW rotifer, which were fed (10 rotifers/ml) to 3-16 DPH larvae. These rotifer diets continued to be offered to 17-34 DPH fish, although these larvae predominantly fed on 4 DHA enriched Artemia nauplii treatments that were offered at a concentration from 0.1 nauplii/ml to 4 nauplii/ml, depending on larval age. This resulted in 4 DHA rotifer-Artemia ranges: 0.99-0.0 (L), 1.9-2.6 (I-L), 3.2-7.2 (I-H), and 12.1-11.77 (H) mg DHA/g DW. The 4 DHA treatments and ranges were tested in replicates of 7 conical tanks per treatment. Increasing rotifer DHA significantly (P<0.0001) improved TL, in an exponential manner, throughout larval rearing. DW in 34 DPH larvae was markedly (P<0.05) enhanced with dietary DHA inclusion in the rotifers and Artemia. There was a significant (P < 0.005) prey DHA dose dependent range effect on the abundance of photoreceptor cells in the retina of 34 DPH larvae. The gene expression of rhodopsin in GSB larvae was significantly (P<0.05) upregulated with dietary DHA dose range and larval age (P<0.0001).

However, studies on changes in fish morphology under environmental variations from salt water to brackish water are still limited in many fish species, especially in Terapon jarbua. This study aims to investigate the differences in the morphological parameters of T. jarbua between the coastal sea (seawater) and lagoon (brackish water); and between male and female fish based on a landmark morphological approach. Additionally, the genetic diversity of T. jarbua populations in Central Vietnam was elucidated using the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtDNA COI) sequence as a molecular marker. The analytical results indicated no sexual dimorphism in the T. jarbua population, yet conformational differences exist between the two studied aquatic species. The analysis of 42 mtDNA COI sequences collected from Central Vietnam identified 13 haplotypes with medium genetic diversity and low genetic differentiation between the Tam Giang lagoon and Thua Thien Hue coastal (Fst = 0.028) and not significant (p = 0.126). Most haplotypes obtained are present in reference populations, indicating a high genetic exchange between populations. We proposed that the T. jarbua population in Central Vietnam has a stable connection with neighboring populations (China, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan).","PeriodicalId":14704,"journal":{"name":"Israeli Journal of Aquaculture-bamidgeh","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85117254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyzed their molecular characteristics and expression profiles during ovarian and embryonic development. The results showed that the Ec-cyclin B gene was 1194 bp long and encoded a 397 amino acid (aa) long protein. However, Ec-cdc2 was 900 bp long, which encoded 299 aa with a conserved cyclin binding motif PSTAIRE. The phylogenetic tree analysis showed that Ec-cyclin B had the highest homology with the cyclin B of Macrobrachium rosenbergii (81.06%). In comparison, Ec-cdc2 had the highest homology with the cdc2 of E. modestus (96.80%). Ec-cyclin B showed the highest expression in the ovary, whereas Ec-cdc2 was the highest in the hepatopancreas, followed by the ovary. In the five stages of ovarian development, Ec-cyclin B and Ec-cdc2 expression levels reach the highest at stage Ⅴ(p < 0.05). Overall, the expression of these two genes first increased and then decreased at different embryonic developmental stages. Therefore, these findings suggested that cyclin B and cdc2 played an essential role in the ovarian and embryonic development of E. carinicauda.","PeriodicalId":14704,"journal":{"name":"Israeli Journal of Aquaculture-bamidgeh","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78569630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their relationship was also analyzed, and the results showed an approximately linear increasing trend of the fish’s critical swimming speed and preferred swimming speed with the change of temperature (P<0.05). In contrast, the induction velocity of fish decreased with the increase in water temperature. The relative induction velocities of the fish at four temperatures were (1.16±0.07), (0.94±0.06), (0.86±0.07), and (0.70±0.09) BL/s (Body Length/s). The preferred swimming speed was (1.86±0.04), (2.23±0.35), (2.65±0.28), and (2.74±0.33) BL/s. The relative critical speed was (2.58 ±0.32), (3.31±0.41), (4.31±0.52), and (5.22±0.48) BL/s. According to oxygen consumption rate at different temperatures, four nonlinear function models of the relationship between oxygen consumption rate of water temperature and swimming speed behavior parameters were obtained by nonlinear fitting. The model proved that the oxygen consumption rate, tail beating frequency, and respiratory rate increased with the increase in swimming speed. The higher the temperature, the more significant the changes were. The results showed that water temperature significantly affected the swimming characteristics of juvenile Siniperca knerii Garman. The changes were due to physiological and biochemical regulation with temperature and environmental changes.
