Dietary Astragalus Polysaccharides Can Improve the Immune Capacity and Reproductive Performance of the Lined Seahorse (Hippocampus erectus) [PDF]

Biology
Seahorse (Hippocampus spp.) is popular in the markets of traditional Chinese medicine, aquarium, and curio. In order to protect wild stocks and still meet the market demand, China attempted the large-scale cultivation of seahorses in the early 21st ...

Behavioral Fever in Lined Seahorse (Hippocampus erectu) Enhances the Immune Response to Vibrio harveyi Infection [PDF]

Animals
Ectotherms can elevate their body temperature in response to infection by seeking warmer environments, a phenomenon known as behavioral fever. This adaptive response, widely documented in fish, activates immune defenses and improves survival.

First insight of the genome-wide association study and genomic prediction into enteritis disease (Vibrio harveyi) resistance trait in the lined seahorse (Hippocampus erectus) [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology
Enteritis caused by Vibrio is a highly die-off disease that severely impeded substantial production in seahorse aquaculture. In the present study, challenged with LD50 of concentration of Vibrio harveyi, a total of 161 of susceptible and 166 of resistant

Identification of CTNNB1 in the lined seahorse, Hippocampus erectus, and its function in innate immunity and cell proliferation

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society
β‐Catenin (CTNNB) is a core downstream mediator in the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway, which plays a role in immune regulation and cell differentiation. In the present study, two CTNNB genes were identified by genomic analysis of Hippocampus erectus and

Females increase reproductive investment when mated to less sexually attractive males in a serially monogamous fish [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Reproductive investment decision is an integral part of life-history theory. Differential allocation hypothesis predicts that females should increase investment when mated to high-quality males, conversely, reproductive compensation hypothesis predicts ...

Surviving on Limited Resources: Effects of Caloric Restriction on Growth, Gene Expression and Gut Microbiota in a Species With Male Pregnancy (Hippocampus erectus). [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Caloric restriction (CR) studies have traditionally focused on species with conventional reproductive roles, emphasising female's greater investment in costly gametes and parental care. While the divergent impact of CR on males and females is evident across species, the factors driving this variation, that is, resource allocation to ...
