Selection of Reference Gene for Expression Studies in the Ovary and Pituitary of Spotted Scat (Scatophagus argus) at Different Ovarian Stages

Fishes, 2023
The spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) is the most widely commercially cultured fish in eastern and southern Asia that possess potential economic value. However, up to date, there are no studies reported on the selection of suitable reference genes in this

Molecular cloning, identification, and expression analysis of Pyy and its effect on mechanisms regulating appetite in Spotted scat, Scatophagus argus

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
The peptide YY (Pyy) is a member of the Neuropeptide Y family of peptides known to play anorexigenic roles in the regulation of feed intake in several fishes.

An assessment of the aquaculture potential of indigenous freshwater food fish of Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Samoa and Tonga as alternatives to farming of tilapia

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 625-644, March 2023., 2023
Abstract An important driver behind introductions for aquaculture of alien fish species into Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) is a lack of knowledge about domestication suitability and specific culture requirements of indigenous taxa.

Analysis on lncRNA and mRNA expression profiles of IGF3-induced ovarian maturation in spotted scat (Scatophagus argus)

Aquaculture Reports, 2022
Insulin-like growth factor 3 (IGF3) has been found to induce ovarian maturation in teleost, but its molecular regulatory mechanism remains unknown.

In situ purification experiment of a mangrove–aquaculture coupling system: A case study of a crab pond in Wanning, Hainan Province

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1169-1182, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Aquaculture development and expansion can destroy and reduce tropical mangrove systems, while discharging sewage into the ocean. This study introduced a new mangrove system into an aquaculture pond to establish a mangrove–aquaculture coupling system.

Evolution and gene expression of matrix metalloproteinase gene family during gonadal development in Scatophagus argus. [PDF]

Am J Transl Res
During the reproductive cycle of Scatophagus argus (S. argus), their gonads undergo degeneration and re-maturation including the degradation of proteins in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of zinc proteases, play a crucial role in ECM degradation.Our aim was to identify the MMP gene family of S.

Seascape context matters more than habitat condition for fish assemblages in coastal ecosystems

Oikos, Volume 2022, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Ecosystems are increasingly degraded, fragmented and lost because of human activities globally. These impacts cause changes in the distribution of biodiversity and key ecological functions, modifications to food webs and reductions in ecosystem condition and seascape connectivity. Understanding whether, and how, the spatial context (i.e.

A review on sox genes in fish

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 1986-2003, September 2021., 2021
Abstract The Sry‐related high mobility group box (Sox) genes family is a group of transcription factors playing crucial roles during reproduction and development. At least 50% amino acid sequences of Sox protein family are similarity to the sex‐determining region on the Y chromosome (Sry).

Crustaceans as Key Prey: Insights Into the Dietary Partitioning of Four Carnivorous Fishes in the Nansha Islands, South China Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study, through a combination of morphological analysis, molecular identification, and stable isotope analysis, confirmed that crustaceans are the primary food source for these fishes. Small carnivorous fishes reduce niche overlap by selectively feeding on different types of crustaceans—a strategy supported by the abundant crustacean resources in ...
