Abstract
Global warming and extreme weather events pose a significant threat to global biodiversity, with rising water temperatures exerting a profound influence on fish conservation and fishery development. In this study, we used zebrafish as a model organism to explore the impact of a heat acclimation period on their survival rates. The results demonstrated that a 2-month heat acclimation period almost completely mitigated heat stress-induced mortality in zebrafish. Subsequent analysis of the surviving zebrafish revealed a predominance of hepatic mitochondria in a fission state. Remarkably, a short-term fasting regimen, which induced hepatic mitochondrial fission, mirrored the outcomes of the protective effect of heat acclimation and augmented animal survival under heat stress. Conversely, treatment with a mitochondrial fission inhibitor within the fasting group attenuated the elevated survival rate. Furthermore, zebrafish embryos subjected to brief heat acclimation also exhibited increased heat resistance, a trait diminished by a chemical intervention inhibiting mitochondrial fission. This suggests a shared mechanism for heat resistance between embryos and adult zebrafish. These findings underscore the potential use of inducing mitochondrial fission to enhance heat resistance in zebrafish, offering promise for fish biodiversity conservation in the face of global warming.

Abstract
Sturgeons are ancient fish, with 27 species distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. This review first touches upon the significance of sturgeons in the context of their biological, ecological, and economic importance, highlighting their status as "living fossils" and the challenges they face in genomic research due to their diverse chromosome numbers. This review then discusses how omics technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) have been used in sturgeon research, which so far has only been done on Acipenser species. It focuses on metabolomics as a way to better understand how sturgeons work and how they react to their environment. Specific studies in sturgeon metabolomics are cited, showing how metabolomics has been used to investigate various aspects of sturgeon biology, such as growth, reproduction, stress responses, and nutrition. These studies demonstrate the potential of metabolomics in improving sturgeon aquaculture practices and conservation efforts. Overall, the review suggests that metabolomics, as a relatively new scientific tool, has the potential to enhance our understanding of sturgeon biology and aid in their conservation and sustainable aquaculture, contributing to global food security efforts.

Abstract
The dramatic changes in the global climate pose a major threat to the survival of many organisms, including fish. To date, the regulatory mechanisms behind the physiological responses of fish to temperature changes have been studied, and a comprehensive analysis of the regulatory mechanisms of temperature tolerance will help to propose effective strategies for fish to cope with global warming. In this study, we investigated the expression profiles of proteins and metabolites in liver tissues of American shad (Alosa sapidissima) corresponding to different water temperatures (24 °C, 27 °C and 30 °C) at various times (1-month intervals) under natural culture conditions. Proteomic analysis showed that the expression levels of the heat shock protein family (e.g. HSPE1, HSP70, HSPA5 and HSPA.1) increase significantly with temperature and that many differentially expressed proteins were highly enriched especially in pathways related to the endoplasmic reticulum, oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis processes. In addition, the results of conjoint metabolomics and proteomics analysis suggested that the contents of several important amino acids and chemical compounds, including L-serine, L-isoleucine, L-cystine, choline and betaine, changed significantly under high-temperature environmental stress, affecting the metabolic levels of starch, amino acid and glucose, which is thought to represent a possible energy conservation method for A. sapidissima to cope with rapid changes in external temperature. In summary, our findings demonstrate that living under high temperatures for a long period of time leads to different physiological defense responses in A. sapidissima, which provides some new ideas for analyzing the molecular regulatory patterns of adaptation to high temperature and also provides a theoretical basis for the subsequent improvement of fish culture in response to global warming.

Abstract
Ammonia pollution is an important environmental stress factors in water eutrophication. The intrinsic effects of ammonia stress on liver toxicity and muscle quality of rainbow trout were still unclear. In this study, we focused on investigating difference in muscle metabolism caused by metabolism disorder of rainbow trout liver at exposure times of 0, 3, 6, 9 h at 30 mg/L concentrations. Liver transcriptomic analysis revealed that short-term (3 h) ammonia stress inhibited carbohydrate metabolism and glycerophospholipid production but long-term (9 h) ammonia stress inhibited the biosynthesis and degradation of fatty acids, activated pyrimidine metabolism and mismatch repair, lead to DNA strand breakage and cell death, and ultimately caused liver damage. Metabolomic analysis of muscle revealed that ammonia stress promoted the reaction of glutamic acid and ammonia to synthesize glutamine to alleviate ammonia toxicity, and long-term (9 h) ammonia stress inhibited urea cycle, hindering the alleviation of ammonia toxicity. Moreover, it accelerated the consumption of flavor amino acids such as arginine and aspartic acid, and increased the accumulation of bitter substances (xanthine) and odorous substances (histamine). These findings provide valuable insights into the potential risks and hazards of ammonia in eutrophic water bodies subject to rainbow trout.

Abstract
Introduction Aeromonas hydrophila, a bacterium widely distributed in the natural environment, causes multiple diseases in various animals. Exploring the mechanism of the host defense against A. hydrophila can help develop efficient strategies against Aeromonas infection. Methods Herein, we investigated the temporal influence of A. hydrophila on the Chinese soft-shelled turtle, an economically important species, at the biochemical, transcriptomic, and metabolomic levels. Plasma parameters were detected with the test kits. Transcriptome and metabolome were respectively applied to screen the differentially expressed genes and metabolites. Results The contents or activities of these plasma parameters were significantly increased at 24 hpi and declined at 96 hpi, indicating that 24 and 96 hpi were two important time points during infection. Totals of 3121 and 274 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from the transcriptome while 74 and 91 differentially abundant metabolites (DAMs) from the metabolome were detected at 24 and 96 hpi. The top DEGs at 24 hpi included Ccl2, Ccl3, Ccl4, Il1β, Il6, Il7, Il15, Tnf, and Tnfr1 while Zap70, Cd3g, Cd8a, Itk, Pik3r3, Cd247, Malt1, and Cd4 were the most abundant at 96 hpi. The predominant DAMs included O-phospho-L-serine, γ-Aminobutyric acid, orotate, L-tyrosine, and L-tryptophan at 24 hpi, as well as L-glutamic acid, L-arginine, glutathione, glutathione disulfide, and citric acid at 96 hpi. Discussion The combined analysis of DEGs and DAMs revealed that tryptophan metabolism, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, as well as starch and sucrose metabolism, were the most important signaling pathways at the early infective stage while tyrosine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, as well as alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism were the most crucial pathways at the later stage. In general, our results indicated that the Chinese soft-shelled turtle displays stage-specific physiological responses to resist A. hydrophila infection.

Abstract
Chronic stress deteriorates the immune function of fish, thereby increasing their vulnerability to infections. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying stress-mediated immunosuppression and infection susceptibility in fish remain largely unknown. Understanding these mechanisms will contribute to improving fish welfare and their farm production. Herein, we review the challenges of sturgeon aquaculture in subtropical countries, where current climate change has giving rise to significant temperature increments during summer. This leads to the exposure of fish to stressful conditions during these months. Chronic heat stress deserves attention considering the rapid warming rate of the planet. It is already affecting wild fish populations, with disastrous consequences for sturgeons, which are one of the most endangered fish species in the world. In this context, we discuss the most recent advances through the studies on the effects of chronic heat stress on the innate immune components of sturgeons. To this end, we summarise the findings of studies focusing on the aquaculture of Russian sturgeons and observations made on other Acipenser species. Special attention is given to acute-phase proteins, as they might be valuable biomarkers of heat stress and infection, with applicability in monitoring the fish health status in farms.

Abstract
The ivory shell (Babylonia areolata) is an economically important shellfish in tropical and subtropical regions, but its intensive culture and biological characteristic of hiding in the sandy substrate make it highly susceptible to ammonia stress. In this study, we investigated the dynamic changes in histopathology, oxidative stress, and transcriptome of the ivory shell at different time points under high concentration (60 mg/L) ammonia exposure. With prolonged exposure to stress, vacuoles appeared in the hepatopancreas while cell volume and intercellular space increased. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) decreased significantly under high concentrations of ammonia-induced stress while malondialdehyde (MDA) levels increased significantly. Integrated analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) revealed that lipid transport primarily contributed to maintaining cellular homeostasis during the early stage of stress (6 and 12 h). Subsequently, a significant upregulation of oxidation-reduction reactions occurred at the middle stage (24 h), leading to oxidative stress. Finally, during the later stage (48 h), metabolic decomposition provided energy for survival maintenance. Additionally, lysosome and apoptosis were identified as potential key pathways in response to acute ammonia toxicity. Overall, our findings suggest that ivory shells can respond to acute ammonia toxicity via immune and antioxidant defense mechanisms but sustained high concentrations may cause irreversible damage. This study provides valuable insights into the response mechanism of mollusks towards ammonia and serves as a data reference for breeding ammonia-tolerant varieties of ivory shells.

Abstract
High temperatures are considered one of the most significant limitations to subtropical fishery production. Largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is an economically important freshwater species grown in subtropical areas, which are extremely sensitive to heat stress (HS). However, comprehensive transcriptomic data for the livers of largemouth bass in response to HS are still lacking. In this study, a comparative transcriptomic analysis was performed to investigate the gene expression profiles of the livers of largemouth bass under HS treatment. As a result, 6114 significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which included 2645 up-regulated and 3469 down-regulated genes, were identified in response to HS. Bioinformatics analyses demonstrated that the 'ECM-receptor interaction' pathway was one of the most dramatically changed pathways in response to HS, and eight DEGs assigned to this pathway were taken as hub genes. Furthermore, the expression of these eight hub genes was determined by quantitative reverse transcription PCR, and all of them showed a significant change at the transcriptional level, suggesting a crucial role of the 'ECM-receptor interaction' pathway in the response of largemouth bass to HS. These findings may improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the response of largemouth bass to HS.

Abstract
Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is one of cold-water species widely farmed in Asia. In recent years, the increased frequency of extreme weather events caused by global warming has led to serious impact on Japanese flounder. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the effects of representative coastal economic fish under increasing water temperature. In this study, we investigated the histological and apoptosis responses, oxidative stress and transcriptomic profile in the liver of Japanese flounder exposed to gradual temperature rise (GTR) and abrupt temperature rise (ATR). The histological results showed liver cells in ATR group were the most serious in all three groups including vacuolar degeneration and inflammatory infiltration, and had more apoptosis cells than GTR group detected by TUNEL staining. These further indicated ATR stress caused more severe damage than GTR stress. Compared with control group, the biochemical analysis showed significantly changes in two kinds of heat stress, including GPT, GOT and D-Glc in serum, ATPase, Glycogen, TG, TC, ROS, SOD and CAT in liver. In addition, the RNA-Seq was used to analyze the response mechanism in Japanese flounder liver after heat stress. A total of 313 and 644 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in GTR and ATR groups, respectively. Further pathway enrichment of these DEGs revealed that heat stress affected cell cycle, protein processing and transportation, DNA replication and other biological processes. Notably, protein processing pathway in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was enriched significantly in KEGG and GSEA enrichment analysis, and the expression of ATF4 and JNK was significantly up-regulated in both GTR and ATR groups, while CHOP and TRAF2 were high expressed in GTR and ATR groups, respectively. In conclusion, heat stress could cause tissue damage, inflammation, oxidative stress and ER stress in the liver of Japanese flounder. The present study would provide insight into the reference for the adaptive mechanisms of economic fish in face of increasing water temperature caused by global warming.

Abstract
Tsinling lenok trout (Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis) is a typical cold water fish. High temperature has been shown to damage the liver of fish. However, few studies have investigated the liver apoptosis induced by high temperature stress in fish from the perspective of gene expression and metabolic function. Therefore, we investigated the changes caused by high temperature stress (24 °C) on the liver tissue structure, antioxidant capacity, liver gene expression, and the metabolome of tsinling lenok trout. The transcriptomic results showed that genes associated with apoptosis, such as CASP8, CASP3, PERK, Bcl-6 and TRAIL, were upregulated under high temperature stress. Metabolomic analysis showed that the metabolic pathway of nucleotide synthesis was significantly downregulated, while that of oxygen radical synthesis was significantly upregulated. Integrated analysis showed that after high temperature stress, immune-related signaling pathways in trout were activated and their apoptosis level increased, which might be related to hepatopancreas injury. In addition, abnormalities in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and mitochondrial function were observed, suggesting that functional hypoxia caused by high temperature might be involved fish cell apoptosis. These results provide new insights into the process of cell apoptosis in fish under high temperature stress.

[PMID: 37443851 DOI: 10.3390/ani13132053] [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: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Trachinotus ovatus is a major economically important cultured marine fish in the South China Sea. However, extreme weather and increased culture density result in uncontrollable problems, such as increases in water temperature and a decline in dissolved oxygen (DO), hindering the high-quality development of aquaculture. In this study, liver transcriptional profiles of T. ovatus were investigated under acute high-temperature stress (31 °C and 34 °C) and normal water temperature (27 °C) using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology. Differential expression analysis and STEM analysis showed that 1347 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and four significant profiles (profiles 0, 3, 4, and 7) were screened, respectively. Of these DEGs, some genes involved in heat shock protein (HSPs), hypoxic adaptation, and glycolysis were up-regulated, while some genes involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and fatty acid metabolism were down-regulated. Our results suggest that protein dynamic balance and function, hypoxia adaptation, and energy metabolism transformation are crucial in response to acute high-temperature stress. Our findings contribute to understanding the molecular response mechanism of T. ovatus under acute heat stress, which may provide some reference for studying the molecular mechanisms of other fish in response to heat stress.

Abstract
In order to provide new insights into the physiological responses of lenok (Brachymystax lenok: Salmonidae) to acute and severe heat stress (25°C, 48 h), dynamic changes in redox state and metabolic responses are studied combined biochemical index and non-targeted metabolome. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) consumption causes significant increases in ratio of reduced NADH to NAD+ and ratio of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) to NADP+, which induced the redox imbalance in heat stressed lenok. Lowered reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratios suggested that more oxidized conditions occurred in heat-stressed lenok, leading to membrane lipid oxidation. The first few hours of heat stress promoted the activity of enzymes involved in anaerobic glycolysis (hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactic dehydrogenase) and glutamicpyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, which might lead to consumption of many carbohydrates and amino acid catabolism. These enzyme activities decreased with time in a possible compensatory strategy to manage anabolic and catabolic metabolism, maintaining the redox homeostasis. After 48 h of recovery, NAD+, carbohydrate levels and enzyme activities had returned to control levels, whereas many amino acids were consumed for repair and new synthesis. GSH remained at levels lower than controls, and the more oxidized conditions had not recovered, aggravating oxidative damage. Glutamic acid, glutamine, lysine and arginine may play important roles in survival of heat-stressed lenok.
