Transcriptomic data are obtained from the high and low generation (P6, P60) of triploid crucian carp caudal fin cells by high-throughput sequencing technology. Initially, all differential genes between the high and low generations are screened, yielding 4140 significantly upregulated genes and 3724 significantly downregulated genes. Subsequently, an aging gene set containing 950 genes is downloaded from the CellAge database to extract the differentially expressed genes associated with caudal fin cell aging, totaling 29 genes. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses are performed on these 29 aging differential genes. The GO analysis shows enrichment mainly in cellular processes related to aging, such as regulation of cell division, chromatin organization, cell cycle regulation. KEGG analysis reveals that the 29 aging-related genes are primarily involved in cell cycle and cellular senescence pathways. A PPI network of aging-related genes is constructed using the STRING database and Cytoscape software. Top-ranked genes were identified by using Degree, MCC, MNC, and Closeness algorithms in the Cytohubba plugin in Cytoscape, resulting in hub genes <em>EZH2, JUN, MYD88, RBL2, BMP4, CCND1, NFKB2, MMP9.</em> Lastly, qRT-PCR validation of these eight hub genes further confirmed the involvement of four genes: <em>EZH2, RBL2, BMP4,</em> and <em>CCND1.</em> The hub gene screened in this study may become a potential biomarker of fish caudal fin cell senescence, which provides a valuable experimental basis for the senescence of fish caudal fin cells, especially the senescence of caudal fin cells in polyploid fish, and the reproduction and breeding improvement of polyploid fish.

The <em>feminization-1</em> gene (<em>Fem-1</em>) serves as a sex-determining gene in <em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em>, and the <em>Fem-1</em> family is implicated in sex development in several crustaceans. In this study, three <em>Fem-1</em> family members, namely <em>LvFem-1a</em>, <em>LvFem-1b</em>, and <em>LvFem-1c</em>, were identified and characterized in <em>L. vanname</em>i. Based on genetic sex marker, individuals were separated by sex during the early developmental stages. The expression profiles of these genes were analyzed in female or male larvae. Significant differences between females and males were observed during the early stages of development. In Zoea III or earlier stages, the expressions levels in males were significantly higher than those in females. Intriguingly, there was a shift towards higher expression in females during the mysis and post-larval stages. These findings indicate that the Zoea III stage may be crucial for sex differentiation in shrimp. In addition, the analysis of gene expression across various ovarian stages and tissues was conducted. Results showed that all three genes were highly expressed in the ovary, with particularly elevated levels in ovarian development stage II. These findings suggest that the <em>Fem-1</em> genes play a critical role in early ovary development.

In the present study, metagenomic sequencing was used to compare gut bacteria of the hybrid fish Hefang crucian carp (<em>Carassius cuuieri</em> ♀ × <em>C. auratus</em> var. red ♂) cultured in LFC and intensive pond culture (IPC) systems. The results indicated that aquaculture modes exerted great influences on the fish gut bacterial community.

The relative abundances of Actinobacteria and Chloroflexi were apparently higher in LFC than those in IPC, whereas Planctomycetota, Firmicutes, and Verrucomicrobia showed opposite patterns. Besides, gut bacterial metabolic potentials involved in energy metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, environmental information processing, and cellular processes were significantly increased in LFC compared to those in IPC. On the contrary, the bacterial functional potentials related to nucleotide metabolism, DNA mismatch repair, as well as homologous recombination were significantly stimulated in the IPC system. Source‐tracking analysis suggested that fish gut bacterial community in IPC was originated mainly from water sources, whereas the gut bacterial community in LFC was originated from more unknown sources and soil sources.
