Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of replacing fishmeal (FM) with African giant snail (Achatina fulica) meal (SM) on the growth performance of giant river prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii), as well as to analyze the associated metabolomic changes. Six diets were formulated, replacing FM with SM at different inclusion levels ranging from 0 % to 100 %. Growth performance and feed conversion ratio of prawns fed diets with FM replaced by SM up to 80 % were not significantly different from control. In contrast, significantly decreased growth performance and higher feed conversion ratio (FCR) occurred with diets containing 100 % SM. To gain insights into the metabolic regulation of prawns fed different diets, a 1H NMR metabolomics approach was used to assess the metabolic changes in prawns fed diets containing 0 % and 80 % SM. The results revealed up-regulated metabolites significantly involved in several metabolic pathways, including alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism; citrate cycle (TCA cycle); aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis; and valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis. These findings imply that including SM in the diet might modulate the regulation of muscle amino acids and tRNA synthesis, suggesting a potential impact on protein biosynthesis mechanisms. Additionally, alterations in the TCA cycle may reflect changes in carbon utilization, potentially contributing to the growth performance of giant river prawns when fishmeal is replaced with SM without adversely affecting their growth. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that SM could be a promising alternative protein source in aquafeed. The metabolomic approach provides valuable insights into the metabolic changes in prawns fed different diets, aiding in the development of more effective aquafeeds in the future. The study's limitations, such as the simplified diet formulation and the limited scope of the metabolomic analysis, were acknowledged and discussed, highlighting the need for further research to build upon these findings.

Differential Toxicity Responses between Hepatopancreas and Gills in Litopenaeus vannamei under Chronic Ammonia-N Exposure. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:3799. [PMID: 38136836 PMCID: PMC10741007 DOI: 10.3390/ani13243799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Ammonia nitrogen is one of the main toxic substances in aquatic cultivation environments. Chronic exposure to excessive amounts of ammonia-N creates toxic consequences, retarding the growth of aquatic organisms. This study investigated the growth performance, morphological and physiological alterations, and transcriptome changes in the hepatopancreas and gills of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the survival rate (p > 0.05), whereas growth performance was reduced significantly in the treated groups compared to the control groups (p < 0.05). Significant structural damage and vacuolation occurred in hepatopancreas and gill tissues in the treated groups. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and Na+/K+-ATPase content were significantly increased by chronic ammonia-N exposure in the two tissue groups. In addition, catalase (CAT) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were significantly altered in the hepatopancreas groups (p < 0.05), whereas no differences were observed in the gill groups (p > 0.05). There were 890 and 1572 differentially expressed genes identified in the hepatopancreas (treated versus control groups) and gills (treated versus control groups), respectively, of L. vannamei under chronic ammonia-N exposure. Functional enrichment analysis revealed associations with oxidative stress, protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, and different serine proteases. The gills maintained cellular homeostasis mainly through high expression of cytoskeleton and transcription genes, whereas the hepatopancreas down-regulated related genes in the ribosome, proteasome, and spliceosome pathways. These genes and pathways are important in the biosynthesis and transformation of living organisms. In addition, both tissues maintained organismal growth primarily through lipid metabolism, which may serve as an effective strategy for ammonia-N resistance in L. vannamei. These results provided a new perspective in understanding the mechanisms of ammonia-N resistance in crustaceans.

Combined effects of dietary carbohydrate levels and ammonia stress on growth, antioxidant capacity and glucose metabolism in juvenile oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense). JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL ZOOLOGY. PART A, ECOLOGICAL AND INTEGRATIVE PHYSIOLOGY 2023; 339:978-993.

Abstract
Ammonia is a common environmental stress factor that constrains aquaculture industry development. This study evaluated the effect of carbohydrate levels and ammonia stress in oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense). The experiment had six treatments containing two water ammonia levels (0 and 5 mg/L) and three dietary carbohydrate levels (low carbohydrate diet (LCD, 10%), medium carbohydrate diet [MCD, 20%], and high carbohydrate diet [HCD, 30%]), and lasted six weeks. The results showed that the prawns fed on MCD had higher weight gain than those fed on LCD and HCD during ammonia stress. Moreover, the prawns fed on MCD had significantly lower acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activities during ammonia stress. Feeding the prawns on the MCD increased B cells in the hepatopancreas during ammonia stress. Interestingly, the prawns fed on MCD had significantly lower superoxide dismutase activity compared to LCD and HCD during ammonia stress. Moreover, the prawns fed on MCD had significantly lower pyruvate kinase activity and pyruvate and lactic acid contents, while those fed on LCD had significantly higher succinic dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconic dehydrogenase, and phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase activities during ammonia stress. The prawns fed on the MCD increased significantly glutaminase activity and decreased the ammonia content in the serum during ammonia exposure. In addition, feeding the prawns on MCD decreased significantly the expression of apoptosis and inflammation-related genes. Taken together, the MCD supplied energy required to counteract ammonia stress, which increased growth, improved antioxidant capacity, facilitated ammonia excretion, and alleviated inflammation and apoptosis of the oriental river prawn.

Abstract
The greasyback shrimp, Metapenaeus ensis, suffers from ammonia-N stress during intensive factory aquaculture. Optimizing ammonia-N stress tolerance has become an important issue in M. ensis breeding. The metabolic and adaptive mechanisms of ammonia-N toxicity in M. ensis have not been comprehensively understood yet. In this study, a large number of potential simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in the transcriptome of M. ensis were identified. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the gill and hepatopancreas at 24 h post-challenges under high concentrations of ammonia-N treatment were detected. We obtained 20,108,851-27,681,918 clean reads from the control and high groups, assembled and clustered a total of 103,174 unigenes with an average of 876 bp and an N50 of 1189 bp. Comparative transcriptome analyses identified 2000 different expressed genes in the gill and 2010 different expressed genes in the hepatopancreas, a large number of which were related to immune function, oxidative stress, metabolic regulation, and apoptosis. The results suggest that M. ensis may counteract ammonia-N toxicity at the transcriptome level by increasing the expression of genes related to immune stress and detoxification metabolism, and that selected genes may serve as molecular indicators of ammonia-N. By exploring the genetic basis of M. ensis' ammonia-N stress adaptation, we constructed the genetic networks for ammonia-N adaptation. These findings will accelerate the understanding of M. ensis' ammonia-N adaptation, contribute to the research of future breeding, and promote the level of factory aquaculture of M. ensis.

Abstract
The giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is a commercially valuable freshwater crustacean species that frequently appears a death affected by various diseases, resulting in substantial economic losses. Improving the survival rate of M. rosenbergii is a hot and essential issue for feeding the prawns. Scutellaria polysaccharide (SPS) extracted from Scutellaria baicalensis (a Chinese medicinal herb) is conducive to the survival rate of organisms by enhancing immunity and antioxidant ability. In this study, M. rosenbergii was fed 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg of SPS. The immunity and antioxidant capacity of M. rosenbergii were tested by mRNA levels and enzyme activities of related genes. The mRNA expressions of NF-κB, Toll-R, and proPO (participating in the immune response) in the heart, muscle, and hepatopancreas were decreased after four weeks of SPS feeding (P < 0.05). This indicated that long-term feeding of SPS could regulate the immune responses of M. rosenbergii tissues. The activity levels of antioxidant biomarkers, alkaline phosphatase (AKP), and acid phosphatase (ACP) had significant increases in hemocytes (P < 0.05). Moreover, catalase (CAT) activities in the muscle and hepatopancreas, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in all tissues, significantly decreased after four weeks of culture (P < 0.05). The results demonstrated that long-term feeding of SPS could improve the antioxidant capacity of M. rosenbergii. In summary, SPS was conducive to regulating the immune capacity and enhancing the antioxidant capacity of M. rosenbergii. These results provide a theoretical basis for supporting SPS addition to the feed of M. rosenbergii.

Abstract
Fishes are poikilothermic animals and are rapid responders to any sort of ecological alteration. The responses in the fish can be easily assessed from their hematological and biochemical responses. To study the variation in the hemato-biochemical parameters in retort to ecological alteration and ecological regime, a study was conducted at six different sampling stations of the middle and lower stretches of river Ganga. Various hematological and biochemical responses of fishes were also monitored in response to multiple ecological alterations. For the assessment of ecological alteration, various indices were calculated such as the water pollution index (WPI), National Sanitation Foundation-water quality index (NSF-WQI), and Nemerow's pollution index (NPI) has been calculated based on various water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), total alkalinity (TA), total hardness (TH), electrical conductivity (EC), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chlorinity (CL), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP). The hematological parameters such as WBC, RBC, platelet, hemoglobin, and hematocrit were monitored. The serum biochemical parameters such as SGPT, SGOT, ALP, amylase, bilirubin, glucose, triglyceride (TRIG), and cholesterol (CHOL) were investigated. The study revealed that NSF-WQI varied from 45.08 at Buxar to 110.63 at Rejinagar and showed a significantly positive correlation with SGPT, SGOT, ALP, TRIG, CHOL, and WBC, whereas a significantly negative correlation was observed between TRIG and RBC. WPI varied from 19 to 23 and showed a significant positive correlation with SGOT and a negative correlation was observed with total nitrogen. The PCA analysis illustrated the significance of both natural as well as anthropogenic factors on riverine ecology. Strong positive loading was observed with SGPT, SGOT, ALP, and platelet. The study signified the need for monitoring the hemato-biochemical responses of fishes in response to alterations in the ecological regime.
