Therefore, we investigated the effects of cholesterol, ergosterol, β-sitosterol, and fucosterol as sterol sources, compared with a control group lacking sterols, on the growth, reproduction, and metabolism of shrimp for a 28-day feeding trial, with an average weight of 32.28 ± 2.00 g in female L. <em>vannamei</em> broodstock. The results demonstrated that cholesterol supplementation significantly enhanced shrimp growth, the gonadosomatic index, and yolk particle deposition, outperforming the other sterol groups and the control group. Notably, while broodstock in the ergosterol group presented the greatest weight gain and yolk granule deposition, they did not achieve the same level of gonadal development or metabolic efficiency as those receiving cholesterol. Additionally, the β-sitosterol group demonstrated a favorable hepatosomatic index but still fell short of the benefits provided by cholesterol. Cholesterol has unique advantages in promoting growth and ovarian development, which may be attributed to its more efficient metabolic utilization and enhanced hormone synthesis, as indicated by the significantly higher serum levels of 17β-estradiol and progesterone in the cholesterol group. Furthermore, cholesterol supplementation significantly upregulated vitellogenin mRNA expression in the hepatopancreas and ovaries, thereby promoting ovarian maturation. Additionally, γ-linolenic acid and 9,10-epoxyoctadecenoic acid were significantly upregulated in the cholesterol group, facilitating ovarian lipid accumulation. In conclusion, the use of cholesterol as a sterol source in the diet significantly promoted the growth and ovarian development of L. <em>vannamei</em> by regulating lipid metabolism and hormone synthesis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8375,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture","volume":"597 ","pages":"Article 741934"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142722541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A multi-omics approach was taken to investigate the effect of using up to 2 % fermented sugar kelp (<em>Saccharina latissima</em>) as a supplement on the growth performance and gut health of Atlantic salmon (<em>Salmo salar</em> L.). Standard growth metrics and quality indicators were coupled with multi-omics data for the host intestinal transcriptome, intestinal metabolome, and intestinal microbiome. Levels of iodine and heavy metals in the fish fillets resulting from seaweed inclusion were evaluated. Seaweed additives up to 2 % had no negative impact on the salmon growth performance or other health parameters. While concentration of iodine increased with seaweed addition, all levels remain below recommended thresholds. Furthermore, gut transcriptome analyses of 179 individuals revealed multiple indications for an immunostimulant effect of seaweed, including overexpression of the mucin biosynthesis and pyrimidine metabolism pathways related to mucus production and intestinal homeostasis.

The results showed that the economic and ecological benefits of using a combination of multiple factory farming models were significantly increased by 38 % compared to a single factory farming model, with an 11 % increase in economic benefits and an 88 % increase in ecological benefits in a single benefit. Specifically, the economic and ecological benefits increased by 64.65 % for the combination of ISBIC-S, ISIRC-S and ISIC-F modes compared to ISIC-S. The combination of ISIRC-S and ISIC-F increased the economic and ecological benefits by 13.75 % compared to ISBIC-S. In terms of economic benefits, the cost structure of the four factory farming models was similar due to the similar farming technology, and the total cost of the combination of multiple factory farming models increased by only 6 %.

Each fish (28.14 ± 0.75 g) in the hypoxia group was individually placed in a 1 L transparent plastic tank and transferred to a closed hypoxia environment, where the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels were adjusted to 2 % and 0.5 %, respectively. The results showed that hypoxia stress induced a stress response in yellow catfish, characterized by significant changes in lactate dehydrogenase (LD) and cortisol levels in plasma and liver, as well as increased apoptosis of brain cells and liver damage. Additionally, the HPA axis was activated, playing a crucial role in stress regulation during hypoxia exposure. And under hypoxia conditions, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathways were activated in yellow catfish liver, specifically showing significant upregulation of the activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) and inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1)-X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) signals, while the activated transcription factor 4 (ATF4) pathway remained inactive.

The results demonstrated that increasing feeding rates significantly enhanced weight gain rate and specific growth rate. Furthermore, the lipid content of the whole body increased progressively, with the highest levels observed in the 5 % group. High feeding rates also resulted in significant increases in hepatic TG, TC, and NEFA levels. This was accompanied by upregulated mRNA levels and enzyme activities of lipid synthesis-related genes (ACC1α and FASN). However, no significant differences were observed in mRNA levels and enzyme activities of lipolysis-related genes (HSL and CPT1). Histological observations identified two distinct hepatic phenotypes: no obvious abnormality liver and fatty liver. Overall, the proportion of fatty liver phenotype increased with the increasing feeding rate. Additionally, feeding rates significantly increased IgG, IgM, and lysozyme levels, and upregulated mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines (<em>TNFα</em> and <em>IL1β</em>), apoptosis-related genes (<em>CASP3</em>, <em>CASP8</em>, and <em>CASP9</em>), and hepatic repair factors (<em>YAP1</em>, <em>FGF10</em>, <em>FGF13</em>, <em>FGF18</em>, <em>FGF19</em>, and <em>PCNA</em>).

In conclusion, these findings indicated that a feeding rate exceeding 3 % led to hepatic lipid metabolism disorders, characterized by the accumulation of TG and TC, thus promoting the development of fatty liver, inflammation response, and cellular apoptosis in largemouth bronze gudgeon.

However, changes in protein expression for key proteins such as 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits, 14–3-3 protein epsilon, and tubulin beta chain persisted only within the <em>Mr</em>NV-infection group whilst the protein expression in the VLP-invasion group reverted to baseline levels over time, underscoring the transient nature of VLP effects due to their inability to replicate. Additionally, a reduction in peroxiredoxin levels was observed in the later stages of <em>Mr</em>NV infection, indicating a potential viral strategy to trigger apoptosis and release virions. Our results suggest that <em>Mr</em>NV increases expression of 40S ribosome activity to boost viral protein synthesis while suppressing 60S ribosome expression, which impedes the synthesis of host proteins. <em>Mr</em>NV also appears to extend the lifespan of host cells by interfering with their cell cycle and blocking apoptotic pathways, thus facilitating viral replication. This research enhances our comprehension of <em>Mr</em>NV's infectious mechanism, delineates the pathways exploited by the virus, and identifies crucial molecular targets for potential therapeutic intervention.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8375,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture","volume":"597 ","pages":"Article 741915"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142744629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
