Despite their ecological relevance, little is known about this species' susceptibility to anthropogenic climate change. Here, we characterized patterns of mitochondrial genetic divergence and examined the upper thermal tolerance of pinfish across a large portion of the species' range. We found little evidence of population genetic differentiation among distant localities with divergent temperature regimes (e.g., Mexico and North Carolina), using two mitochondrial markers (cytochrome b [CytB] and cytochrome c oxidase I [COI]). This suggests high genetic connectivity, which implies low potential for local adaptation of populations to different thermal conditions along a latitudinal gradient. To further examine population-scale differences in thermal tolerance, we assessed the critical thermal maxima (CT_max) of pinfish from four localities: North Carolina, Florida Keys, Alabama, and Texas. We found that CT_max was similar across sites, with all localities showing an average CT_max within a 1°C temperature range (34.5-35.5°C). This suggests that southern populations of pinfish may be more susceptible to the detrimental effects of ocean warming, as individuals in lower latitudes regularly experience temperatures within a few degrees of their CT_max. Finally, we examined the influence of varying salinity on the upper thermal limit of the pinfish and found that pinfish show no variation in CT_max under salinity conditions ranging from hypo- to hypersaline (15-35 ppt). These results show that pinfish can tolerate a wide range of environmental parameters but may rely on phenotypic plasticity, rather than local adaptation, to distinct conditions to cope with different environmental regimes.</p>","PeriodicalId":15794,"journal":{"name":"Journal of fish biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142750991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this special issue, we have compiled nine original articles that provide an overview of the different aspects between resilience and welfare, and how those two notions are closely connected and contribute to the sustainability and ethical functioning of aquaculture systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the first article, Meijboom and Bovenkerk (&lt;span&gt;2025&lt;/span&gt;) explored the concept of resilience in fish aquaculture, emphasizing that it involves not only the biological capacity of individual fish but also the overall aquaculture system. The authors encourage a holistic view that integrates both the robustness of fish and the adaptability of aquaculture systems while addressing moral concerns. The authors further discussed the ethical dimensions of resilience, including the assumptions of “win-win” scenarios, trade-offs between individual welfare and system efficiency, the need to center animal agency, and the potential moral implications of adapting fish to challenging conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Challenging conditions in an aquaculture context include housing, as fish are usually kept at high densities in a relatively stimulus-free environment. These conditions can have a negative impact on the welfare and mental state of the animal. Epping et al. (&lt;span&gt;2025&lt;/span&gt;) used the judgment bias paradigm (Mendl et al., &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;) to assess the impact of different standard laboratory housing conditions on the mental states of female guppies. The guppies showed no significant stress response to variations in standard housing conditions, indicating their adaptability. These results showed the resilience of guppies to standard housing conditions and confirmed the utility of the judgment bias paradigm as a tool for assessing fish welfare, which can be extrapolated to ensuring optimal living conditions in aquaculture settings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Atlantic salmon (&lt;i&gt;Salmo salar&lt;/i&gt;) is one of the key aquaculture species, being considered a “climate friendly” protein source due to its good growth, utilization of feed resources, low carbon footprint, and greenhouse gas emission (Aas et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;; Singh et al., &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;).

Addressing these challenges, we propose a novel underwater fish object detection algorithm named Fish-Finder. First, we engendered a structure titled \"C2fBF,\" utilizing the dual-path routing attention protocol of BiFormer. The primary objective of this structure is to alleviate the perturbations induced by underwater intricacies during the phase of downsampling in the backbone network, thereby discerning and conserving finer contextual features. Subsequently, we co-opted the RepGFPN method within our neck network-a distinctive approach that adeptly merges high-level semantic constructs with low-level spatial specifics, thus fortifying its multi-scale detection prowess. Then, in an endeavor to diminish the sensitivity toward positional aberrations during the detection of diminutive aquatic creatures, we incorporated a novel bounding box regression loss function, the Wasserstein loss, to the existing CIoU. This innovative function gauges the congruity between the predicted bounding box Gaussian distribution and the reference bounding box Gaussian distribution. Finally, in regard to the dataset, we independently assembled a specific dataset termed \"SmallFish.\" This unique dataset, meticulously designed for the detection of small-scale fish within intricate underwater settings, includes 5000 annotated images of small fish.

Transient receptor potential a1b (Trpa1b) belongs to the ion channel family of transient receptor potentials and exhibits dual thermosensitivity to heat and cold. In this study, we have unveiled a novel function of the trpa1b gene. Zebrafish generated through clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 with Trpa1b-null manifest a male-biased sex ratio. The quantity of primordial germ cells (PGCs) in zebrafish is closely linked to gender determination and gonadal development. Yet the role of the trpa1b gene in zebrafish reproductive development remains unexplored in the literature. Our investigation revealed a significant reduction in PGCs in Trpa1b mutant zebrafish compared to their wild-type counterparts 24-h postfertilization (hpf). Transcriptome sequencing of tissues near the reproductive crest of embryos at 1.25 days postfertilization (dpf) revealed differential changes in PGC-related marker genes and genes related to sperm cell development and differentiation. The relative expression of ddx4 and sycp3 genes was significantly downregulated, whereas amh was significantly upregulated at 20 dpf in trpa1b^-/- zebrafish. The results of this study provide valuable insights and references for studying the molecular mechanism of sex determination in zebrafish.

A total of 2531 operational taxonomic units, belonging to 34 bacterial phyla, were identified, with 33.4% shared across all feeding habits. Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were the predominant phyla.

Deep-sea conditions such as temperature, pressure, and food availability could each impact the speed and efficiency of swimming in fishes. To investigate swimming kinematics of fishes with increasing depth, we analysed in situ video of bony fishes across a 6000-m depth gradient. We compared open-source videos of fishes from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ocean Exploration with tank-based recordings of shallow-water relatives from Puget Sound, Washington, USA to understand how both habitat depth and phylogeny influence swimming in fishes. We analysed kinematics in four dominant demersal fish groups, the orders Anguilliformes, Gadiformes, Ophidiiformes, and Perciformes. Deep-sea fishes swam consistently slowly. Swimming kinematics varied across temperature, oxygen, body elongation, and depth. These results suggest that swimming kinematics do not change linearly with increasing habitat depth in fishes and that the impacts of deep-sea conditions such as low temperatures, high pressures, and low nutrient availability on swimming behaviour need to be considered independently of one another.
