Project description:Mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi (Basilewsky) (Percichthyidae), as a demersal piscivore, has very specialized feeding habits, for as soon as they start feeding the fry of this fish feed solely on fry of other fish species. In rearing conditions, mandarin fish has been found to accept live prey fish only, and refuse dead prey fish or artificial diets, very little is currently known about the molecular mechanisms of multiple genes which cover different pathways influencing the specialized food habit, such as live prey. We performed transcriptome comparisons between dead prey fish feeders and nonfeeders in mandarin fish. The determination mechanisms of specialized food habit (live prey fish) in mandarin fish could provide some instructions for research of food habit in animals, including mammals.
Project description:Mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) has become one of the most commercially important freshwater aquaculture species in China because of its fast growth and high nutritional value. Here, the proteome of the spleen of pathogenetic and resistant mandarin fish on the 8th day after ISKNV infection were analyzed using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 and isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation. The spleen tissue of the control group (C), resistant group (K), and pathogenetic group (B) were collected at 8 dpc.
Project description:Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is an important aquaculture fish species that is farmed worldwide, and it is also the most widely cultivated cold water fish in China. This species, a member of the salmonidae family, is an ideal model organism for studying the immune system in fish. Two phenotypes of rainbow trout are widely cultured; wild-type rainbow trout with black skin (WR_S) and yellow mutant rainbow trout with yellow skin (YR_S). Fish skin is an important immune organ, however, little is known about the differences in skin immunity between WR_S and YR_S in a natural flowing water pond aquaculture environment, and very few studies were conducted to investigate the ceRNA mechanism for fish skin.
Project description:To characterize the site-specific methylation landscape of the Mandarin fish ranavirus (MRV) genome, whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) was conducted on an isolated MRV strain.

Project description:microbial diversity on aquaculture system
Project description:Because antibiotics have been widely used to prevent severe losses due to infectious fishery diseases, the liberal application and overuse of antibiotics has led to the spread and evolution of bacterial resistance, food safety hazards, and environmental issues. The use of some antibiotics, including florfenicol and enrofloxacin, is allowed in aquaculture in China. Accordingly, to better address the concerns and questions associated with the impact of administered enrofloxacin and florfenicol to grass carp, here we investigated the immune response, bacterial diversity, and transcriptome of the intestine of C. idella treated with these oral antibiotics. The aim of this study was to provide an in-depth evaluation of the antibiotic-induced patterns and dynamics of the microbiota grass carp and the potential mechanism involved.
Project description:Bacterial pathogen Moritella viscosa, the causative agent of winter ulcer, causes heavy losses in Atlantic salmon aquaculture. The study compared responses in salmon reared under normal condition (G100) and fish exposed to hypoxia - 60% saturation of dissolved oxygen - at early life (G60). G60 showed lower survival after challenge. Analyses were performed in the most affected tissues: skin and spleen
Project description:Integrated analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics in Blunt Snout Bream. With the improvement of living standards, people’s demand for food nutrient is getting higher and higher. Fish is one kind of protein-rich food and is increasingly favored by consumers. It has been well recognized that flesh composition of fish is closely related to its maturation and growth stages, but few researches have explored these differences. Besides, hormone residues in fish after artificial inducing reproduction also attract consumers’ concern. In this study, we try to address these concerns by using a combination of transcriptomics and metabolomics analysis to identify the key pathways, genes, and metabolites regulation which may affect flesh nutrition of one typical aquaculture species in China, blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala).
