Histology and transcriptomic analysis reveal effects of dietary fish oil and soybean oil on lipid absorption and immune inflammation in the foregut of adult female spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

open access: yesAquaculture Reports
The foregut is the main site of lipid absorption in fish, but the effect of different lipid sources on the foregut lipid absorption and metabolism in adult female spotted scat is still unclear.

Comparison of Gonadal Transcriptomes Uncovers Reproduction-Related Genes with Sexually Dimorphic Expression Patterns in Diodon hystrix

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
Diodon hystrix is a new and emerging aquaculture species in south China. However, due to the lack of understanding of reproductive regulation, the management of breeding and reproduction under captivity remains a barrier for the commercial aquaculture of

Marine biosecurity: protecting indigenous marine species

open access: yesResearch and Reports in Biodiversity Studies, 2016
Nonindigenous species (NIS) are those that have been intentionally or unintentionally introduced outside of their native range as a consequence of human activity. If these species then threaten indigenous species and biodiversity, and/or cause economic damage, they are referred to as "invasive." Biological invasions are not only one of the greatest ...

Telomere-to-telomere haplotype-resolved genome assembly of a female oyster pompano (Trachinotus anak)

open access: yesScientific Data
Oyster pompano (Trachinotus anak) is currently the highest-yielding marine aquaculture fish species in China. However, previously available genome assemblies were fragmented and incomplete, hindering advances in genomic research and breeding applications.

A Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Effects of Letrozole and 17α-Methyltestosterone on the Expression of Reproductive-Related Genes in Golden Pompano (Trachinotus ovatus)

open access: yesFishes
Aromatase inhibitor letrozole (LZ) and 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) are commonly used for sex control breeding to induce female-to-male sex reversal in aquaculture.

Enhancement of body red coloration in juvenile spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) by dietary supplementation with Lianjiang red orange peels as a natural carotenoid source

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) is an economically important marine species in China, with high ornamental and edible value. The effects of dietary supplementation of Lianjiang red orange peels, a natural carotenoid source, at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 ...

Eimeria species occurrence varies between geographic regions and poultry production systems and may influence parasite genetic diversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Coccidiosis is one of the biggest challenges faced by the global poultry industry. Recent studies have highlighted the ubiquitous distribution of all Eimeria species which can cause this disease in chickens, but intriguingly revealed a regional divide in

Integrated lncRNA and mRNA Transcriptome Analyses of IGF1 and IGF2 Stimulated Ovaries Reveal Genes and Pathways Potentially Associated with Ovarian Development and Oocyte Maturation in Golden Pompano (Trachinotus ovatus)

open access: yesAnimals
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) play crucial roles in the regulation of animal growth and reproduction. However, the functional and regulatory mechanisms underlying ovarian growth and oocyte maturation in teleosts remain unclear.

Are zooplankton invasions in constructed waters facilitated by simple communities? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The invasion of non-indigenous species is considered to be one of the leading causes of biodiversity loss globally. My research aimed to determine if constructed water bodies (e.g., water supply reservoirs, dams and ponds) were invaded by zooplankton ...
