Abstract
Assessing the response and resilience of fish to low temperatures over different time scales can provide valuable insights into their mechanisms of adaptation to cold conditions. Farmed Amur minnows (Phoxinus lagowskii) frequently encounter low temperatures, especially during winter. However, the specific responses of P. lagowskii to low-temperature stress remain largely unexplored. In this study, we examined serum glucose and cortisol levels, histological changes, enzymes associated with phosphate and carbohydrate metabolism, triglyceride levels, and liver transcriptomics under various conditions: control (CK), short-term cold exposure (6 days, SC), prolonged cold exposure (14 days, PC), and recovery (RY) from cold exposure at 2 °C. Liver vacuolation was observed during short-term cold exposure. Additionally, we analyzed the enzymatic activity related to carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in serum and liver. Liver transcriptomic data revealed that the PPAR signaling pathway and autophagy-related genes were enriched during short-term cold exposure. Carbohydrate metabolism-related pathways, including the AMPK and MAPK signaling pathways, were significantly enriched after prolonged cold exposure. Metabolic pathways such as fat digestion and absorption, glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism, and arginine and proline metabolism were significantly enriched in the recovery group. Rapid warming after prolonged cold stress allowed P. lagowskii to recover quickly. These findings suggest that P. lagowskii has a strong adaptive capacity for energy metabolism during prolonged cold exposure and the ability to recover rapidly from cold stress. A comprehensive examination of the histological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of P. lagowskii to low temperatures is crucial for developing effective strategies for cultivating this species in challenging environments.

Abstract
Impacts of plant-based ingredients and temperatures on energy metabolism in rainbow trout was investigated. A total of 288 fish (mean body weight: 45.6 g) were fed four isocaloric, isolipidic, and isonitrogenous diets containing 40% protein and 20% lipid and formulated as 100% animal-based protein (AP) and a blend of 50% fish oil (FO) and 50% camelina oil (CO); 100% AP and100% CO; 100% plant-based protein (PP) and a blend of 50% FO and 50% CO or 100% PP and 100% CO at 14 or 18 °C for 150 d. Diet did not significantly affect weight gain (WG) (P = 0.1902), condition factor (CF) (P = 0.0833) or specific growth rate (SGR) (P = 0.1511), but diet significantly impacted both feed efficiency (FE) (P = 0.0076) and feed intake (FI) (P = 0.0076). Temperature did not significantly affect WG (P = 0.1231), FE (P = 0.0634), FI (P = 0.0879), CF (P = 0.8277), or SGR (P = 0.1232). The diet × temperature interaction did not significantly affect WG (P = 0.7203), FE (P = 0.4799), FI (P = 0.2783), CF (P = 0.5071), or SGR (P = 0.7429). Furthermore, temperature did not influence protein efficiency ratio (P = 0.0633), lipid efficiency ratio (P = 0.0630), protein productive value (P = 0.0756), energy productive value (P = 0.1048), and lipid productive value (P = 0.1386); however, diet had significant main effects on PER (P = 0.0076), LPV (P = 0.0075), and PPV (P = 0.0138). Temperature regimens induced increased activities of mitochondrial complexes I (P = 0.0120), II (P = 0.0008), III (P = 0.0010), IV (P < 0.0001), V (P < 0.0001), and citrate synthase (CS) (P < 0.0001) in the intestine; complexes I (P < 0.0001), II (P < 0.0001), and CS (P = 0.0122) in the muscle; and complexes I (P < 0.0001), II (P < 0.0001), and III (P < 0.0001) in the liver. Similarly, dietary composition significantly affected complexes I (P < 0.0001), II (P < 0.0001), IV (P < 0.0001), V (P < 0.0001), and CS (P < 0.0001) in the intestine; complexes I (P < 0.0001), II (P < 0.0001), III (P = 0.0002), IV (P < 0.0001), V (P = 0.0060), and CS (P < 0.0001) in the muscle; and complexes I (P < 0.0001), II (P < 0.0001), IV (P < 0.0001), V (P < 0.0001), and CS (P < 0.0001) in the liver activities except complex III activities in intestine (P = 0.0817) and liver (P = 0.4662). The diet × temperature interaction impacted CS activity in the intestine (P = 0.0010), complex II in the muscle (P = 0.0079), and complexes I (P = 0.0009) and II (P = 0.0348) in the liver. Overall, comparing partial to full dietary substitution of FO with CO, partial dietary replacement showed similar effects on complex activities.

Dietary Corn Starch Levels Regulated Insulin-Mediated Glycemic Responses and Glucose Homeostasis in Swimming Crab ( Portunus trituberculatus). AQUACULTURE NUTRITION 2022; 2022:2355274. [PMID: 36860440 PMCID: PMC9973156 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2355274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2022] [Revised: 08/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Carbohydrate is the cheapest source of energy among the three major nutrient groups, an appropriate amount of carbohydrates can reduce feed cost and improve growth performance, but carnivorous aquatic animals cannot effectively utilize carbohydrates. The objectives of the present study are aimed at exploring the effects of dietary corn starch levels on glucose loading capacity, insulin-mediated glycemic responses, and glucose homeostasis for Portunus trituberculatus. After two weeks of feeding trial, swimming crabs were starved and sampled at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, and 24 hours, respectively. The results indicated that crabs fed diet with 0% corn starch exhibited lower glucose concentration in hemolymph than those fed with the other diets, and glucose concentration in hemolymph remained low with the extension of sampling time. The glucose concentration in hemolymph of crabs fed with 6% and 12% corn starch diets reached the peak after 2 hours of feeding; however, the glucose concentration in hemolymph of crabs fed with 24% corn starch attained the highest value after 3 hours of feeding, and the hyperglycemia lasted for 3 hours and decreased rapidly after 6 hours of feeding. Enzyme activities in hemolymph related to glucose metabolism such as pyruvate kinase (PK), glucokinase (GK), and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) were significantly influenced by dietary corn starch levels and sampling time. Glycogen content in hepatopancreas of crabs fed with 6% and 12% corn starch first increased and then decreased; however, the glycogen content in hepatopancreas of crabs fed with 24% corn starch significantly increased with the prolongation of feeding time. In the 24% corn starch diet, insulin-like peptide (ILP) in hemolymph reached a peak after 1 hour of feeding and then significantly decreased, whereas crustacean hyperglycemia hormone (CHH) was not significantly influenced by dietary corn starch levels and sampling time. ATP content in hepatopancreas peaked at 1 h after feeding and then decreased significantly in different corn starch feeding groups, while the opposite trend was observed in NADH. The activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I, II, III, and V of crabs fed with different corn starch diets significantly increased first and then decreased. In addition, relative expressions of genes related to glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, glucose transport, glycogen synthesis, insulin signaling pathway, and energy metabolism were significantly affected by dietary corn starch levels and sampling time. In conclusion, the results of the present study reveal glucose metabolic responses were regulated by different corn starch levels at different time points and play an important role in clearing glucose through increased activity of insulin, glycolysis, and glycogenesis, along with gluconeogenesis suppression.

Abstract
An unavoidable consequence of aerobic metabolism is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mitochondria have historically been considered the primary source of ROS; however, recent literature has highlighted the uncertainty in primary ROS production sites and it is unclear how variation in mitochondrial density influences ROS-induced damage and protein turnover. Fish skeletal muscle is composed of distinct, highly aerobic red muscle and anaerobic white muscle, offering an excellent model system in which to evaluate the relationship of tissue aerobic capacity and ROS-induced damage under baseline conditions. The present study used a suite of indices to better understand potential consequences of aerobic tissue capacity in red and white muscle of the pinfish, Lagodon rhomboides. Red muscle had a 7-fold greater mitochondrial volume density than white muscle, and more oxidative damage despite also having higher activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase. The dominant protein degradation system appears to be tissue dependent. Lysosomal degradation markers and autophagosome volume density were greater in white muscle, while ubiquitin expression and 20S proteasome activity were significantly greater in red muscle. However, ubiquitin ligase expression was significantly higher in white muscle. Red muscle had a more than 2-fold greater rate of translation and total ATP turnover than white muscle, results that may be due in part to the higher mitochondrial density and the associated increase in oxidative damage. Together, these results support the concept that an elevated aerobic capacity is associated with greater oxidative damage and higher costs of protein turnover.

Abstract
Sustained exercise promotes growth in different fish species, and in gilthead seabream we have demonstrated that it improves nutrient use efficiency. This study assesses for differences in growth rate, tissue composition and energy metabolism in gilthead seabream juveniles fed two diets: high-protein (HP; 54% protein, 15% lipid) or high energy (HE; 50% protein, 20% lipid), under voluntary swimming (VS) or moderate-to-low-intensity sustained swimming (SS) for 6 weeks. HE fed fish under VS conditions showed lower body weight and higher muscle lipid content than HP fed fish, but no differences between the two groups were observed under SS conditions. Irrespective of the swimming regime, the white muscle stable isotopes profile of the HE group revealed increased nitrogen and carbon turnovers. Nitrogen fractionation increased in the HP fed fish under SS, indicating enhanced dietary protein oxidation. Hepatic gene expression markers of energy metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis showed clear differences between the two diets under VS: a significant shift in the COX/CS ratio, modifications in UCPs, and downregulation of PGC1a in the HE-fed fish. Swimming induced mitochondrial remodeling through upregulation of fusion and fission markers, and removing almost all the differences observed under VS. In the HE-fed fish, white skeletal muscle benefited from the increased energy demand, amending the oxidative uncoupling produced under the VS condition by an excess of lipids and the pro-fission state observed in mitochondria. Contrarily, red muscle revealed more tolerant to the energy content of the HE diet, even under VS conditions, with higher expression of oxidative enzymes (COX and CS) without any sign of mitochondrial stress or mitochondrial biogenesis induction. Furthermore, this tissue had enough plasticity to shift its metabolism under higher energy demand (SS), again equalizing the differences observed between diets under VS condition. Globally, the balance between dietary nutrients affects mitochondrial regulation due to their use as energy fuels, but exercise corrects imbalances allowing practical diets with lower protein and higher lipid content without detrimental effects.

Abstract
Overwinter mortality of the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) is a major impediment to the aquaculture industry in China. Cold tolerance ability has a tremendous impact on the survivability of R. philippinarum during the overwintering season. In this study, we evaluated the effects of acute and chronic cold stress on the expression of Cold Shock Domain-containing E1 (CSDE1) and Antifreeze protein type II (AFPII) genes and the activities of lysozyme (LZM), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in three cultivated strains (zebra, white, and white zebra) and two wild populations (northern and southern) of R. philippinarum. Under acute and chronic cold stress, the expression levels of CSDE1 and AFPII mRNA in the gills and hepatopancreas were significantly increased in all populations, but the increase varied among different strains and populations. Under acute cold stress, SOD activity significantly decreased in the two wild populations and the white zebra strain. LZM activity significantly decreased but CAT activity significantly increased in selected strains and populations after acute low temperature stress (P < 0.05). Under chronic cold stress, SOD activity significantly increased in the northern population and white zebra strain, while CAT activity significantly increased in the southern population and the white and zebra strains. These results provide useful information about the Manila clam response to cold stress that may be applied to improve the low temperature resistance of Manila clams in aquaculture environments.

Cumulative effects of cadmium and natural stressors (temperature and parasite infection) on molecular and biochemical responses of juvenile rainbow trout. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2019; 217:105347. [PMID: 31715476 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2019.105347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2019] [Revised: 10/22/2019] [Accepted: 10/23/2019] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
The simultaneous presence of natural and anthropogenic stressors in aquatic ecosystems can challenge the identification of factors causing decline in fish populations. These stressors include chemical mixtures and natural abiotic and biotic factors such as water temperature and parasitism. Effects of cumulative stressors may vary from antagonism to synergism at the organismal or population levels and may not be predicted from exposure to individual stressors. This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of chronic exposure to cadmium (Cd) and elevated water temperature (23 °C) or parasite infection in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) using a multi-level biological approach, including RNA-sequencing. Fish were exposed to diet-borne Cd (6 μg Cd/g wet feed), individually and in combination with thermal (23 °C) or parasitic stressors, for 28 days. The parasite challenge consisted of a single exposure to glochidia (larvae) of the freshwater mussel (Strophitus undulatus), which encysts in fish gills, fins and skin. Results indicated lower fish length, weight, and relative growth rate in fish exposed to a higher water temperature (23 °C). Body condition and hepatosomatic index of trout were, however, higher in the 23 °C temperature treatment compared to the control fish kept at 15 °C. Exposure to thermal stress or parasitism did not influence tissue Cd bioaccumulation. More than 700 genes were differentially transcribed in fish exposed to the individual thermal stress treatment. However, neither Cd exposure nor parasite infection affected the number of differentially transcribed genes, compared to controls. The highest number of differentially transcribed genes (969 genes) was observed in trout exposed to combined Cd and high temperature stressors; these genes were mainly related to stress response, protein folding, calcium metabolism, bone growth, energy metabolism, and immune system; functions overlapped with responses found in fish solely exposed to higher water temperature. Only 40 genes were differentially transcribed when fish were exposed to Cd and glochidia and were related to the immune system, apoptosis process, energy metabolism and malignant tumor. These results suggest that dietary Cd may exacerbate the temperature stress and, to a lesser extent, parasitic infection stress on trout transcriptomic responses. Changes in the concentrations of liver ethoxyresorufin-o-deethylase, heat shock protein 70 and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances coupled to changes in the activities of cellular glutathione S-transferase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were also observed at the cellular level. This study may help understand effects of freshwater fish exposure to cumulative stressors in a changing environment.

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 89:525-536. [PMID: 30999040 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2019.04.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2018] [Revised: 03/11/2019] [Accepted: 04/13/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Live yeast may be a sustainable protein source in salmonid diets while exhibiting a probiotic effect to counteract environmental stressors, such as increased water temperature that is being exacerbated by climate change. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of feeding a high dietary inclusion of live yeast and increased water temperature on growth, haematological and intestinal physiology of rainbow trout. For six weeks, 129 g fish in 16 tanks (n = 4) were fed either a diet based on fishmeal or based on live yeast (214 g kg-1 of diet or 7.6 log CFU g-1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that replaced 40% of fishmeal protein while fish were reared in water temperatures of either 11 °C (cold) or 18 °C (warm). Fish weights, caudal blood and proximal and distal intestines were collected and analysed. Fish fed live yeast resulted in reduced growth (SGR and WG) and higher FCR, while growth in cold and warm water was similar despite differences in TGC. However, increased mortality, plasma cortisol, and intestinal oedema and villous damage indicated fish reared in warm water were subjected to chronic stress. Temperature had a significant effect on haematocrit and red blood cell counts that resulted in significantly higher haemoglobin levels in fish kept in warm water attributed to an elevated oxygen demand. In the proximal intestine, increased temperature resulted in reduced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, e.g. TNFα and IL8, that were further reduced in fish fed live yeast. In addition, feeding live yeast reduced gene expression of CLD6 involved in gut barrier function, which suggests that the level of yeast was too high and masked any beneficial effects on fish health. In conclusion, feeding a high inclusion of live yeast reduced fish growth and expression of intestinal genes, while increasing the temperature from 11 to 18 °C subjected fish to chronic stress that restricted growth, suppressed innate immunity and induced intestinal damage. Replacing 40% of fishmeal protein with live yeast did not counteract negative effects caused by increased temperature, thus alternative strategies need to be explored and implemented to protect the growth and health of rainbow trout from seasonal and long-term rises in water temperature.

Regulation of mitochondrial biosynthesis and function by dietary carbohydrate levels and lipid sources in juvenile blunt snout bream Megalobrama amblycephala. Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol 2018; 227:14-24. [PMID: 30201543 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpa.2018.08.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2018] [Revised: 08/04/2018] [Accepted: 08/13/2018] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary non-protein energy adjustments on the mitochondrial biosynthesis and function of juvenile Megalobrama amblycephala. Fish (average weight: 37.98 ± 0.07 g) were fed eight diets containing two dietary carbohydrate levels (30% and 43%) and four lipid sources (fish oil, soybean oil, palm oil and the mixed oil) for 11 weeks. Liver mitochondrial respiratory chain complex V activity and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) content both increased significantly with increasing dietary carbohydrate levels, whereas the opposite was true for the AMP (adenosine 5'-monophosphate)/ATP ratio, hepatic transcripts of AMP-activated protein kinase α1 (AMPKα1), AMPKα2, peroxisome proliferators γ-activated receptor coativator-1α (PGC-1α), NADH dehydrogenase 1 and cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COX1) as well as the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), citrate synthase (CS) and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I, III and IV. Additionally, hepatic ATP content, the transcripts of AMPKα, COX1 and ATP6 and the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase, SDH, CS and mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III were all significantly affected by lipid sources. Furthermore, an interaction between dietary carbohydrate levels and lipid sources was also observed in the activities of liver mitochondrial Na+-K+-ATPase and respiratory chain complex III as well as the transcripts of ATP6 and PGC-1α. Overall, these findings suggested that dietary carbohydrate levels and lipid sources remarkably affected the mitochondrial biosynthesis and function of M. amblycephala. A diet containing 30% carbohydrate and FO could boost its mitochondrial biosynthesis, while that of 30% carbohydrate and SO could enhance the mitochondrial function.

Benfotiamine, a Lipid-Soluble Analog of Vitamin B 1, Improves the Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Function in Blunt Snout Bream ( Megalobrama amblycephala) Fed High-Carbohydrate Diets by Promoting the AMPK/PGC-1β/NRF-1 Axis. Front Physiol 2018; 9:1079. [PMID: 30233383 PMCID: PMC6129842 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2018.01079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2018] [Accepted: 07/19/2018] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of benfotiamine on the growth performance and mitochondrial biogenesis and function in Megalobrama amblycephala fed high-carbohydrate (HC) diets. The fish (45.25 ± 0.34 g) were randomly fed six diets: the control diet (30% carbohydrate, C), the HC diet (43% carbohydrate), and the HC diet supplemented with different benfotiamine levels (0.7125 (HCB1), 1.425 (HCB2), 2.85 (HCB3), and 5.7 (HCB4) mg/kg) for 12 weeks. High-carbohydrate levels remarkably decreased the weight gain rate (WGR), specific growth rate (SGR), relative feed intake (RFI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), p-adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK)α/t-AMPKα ratio, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1β (PGC-1β) and nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1) protein expression, complexes I, III, and IV activities, and hepatic transcriptions of cytochrome b (CYT-b) and cytochrome c oxidase-2 (COX-2), whereas the opposite was true for plasma glucose, glycated serum protein, advanced glycation end product and insulin levels, tissue glycogen and lipid contents, hepatic adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and AMP contents and ATP/AMP ratio, complexes V activities, and the expressions of AMPKα-2, PGC-1β, NRF-1, mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), mitofusin-1 (Mfn-1), optic atrophy-1 (Opa-1), dynamin-related protein-1 (Drp-1), fission-1 (Fis-1), mitochondrial fission factor (Mff), and ATP synthase-6 (ATP-6). As with benfotiamine supplementation, the HCB2 diet remarkably increased WGR, SGR, tissue glycogen and lipid contents, AMP content, p-AMPKα/t-AMPKα ratio, PGC-1β and NRF-1 levels, complexes I, III, IV, and V activities, and hepatic transcriptions of AMPKα-2, PGC-1β, NRF-1, TFAM, Mfn-1, Opa-1, CYT-b, COX-2, and ATP-6, while the opposite was true for the remaining indicators. Overall, 1.425 mg/kg benfotiamine improved the growth performance and mitochondrial biogenesis and function in fish fed HC diets by the activation of the AMPK/PGC-1β/NRF-1 axis and the upregulation of the activities and transcriptions of mitochondrial complexes as well as the enhancement of mitochondrial fusion coupled with the depression of mitochondrial fission.
