Abstract
Ammonia in aquatic environments is toxic to fish, directly impacting their growth performance and development. Activation of autophagy can facilitate intracellular component renewal and enhance an organism's adaptability to adverse environments. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of autophagy on the yellow catfish under acute ammonia stress. In this study, the yellow catfish intraperitoneally injected with 0.9 % sodium chloride were placed with 0 (CON group) and 125 (HA group) mg/L T-AN (Total ammonia nitrogen) dechlorinated water. The yellow catfish intraperitoneally injected with 30 mg/kg fish CQ (Chloroquine, HA + CQ group) and 1.5 mg/kg fish RAPA (rapamycin, HA + RAPA group) were placed in dechlorinated water containing 125 mg/L T-AN. The results showed that activation of autophagy by injecting with RAPA can alleviate oxidative stress (catalase, superoxide dismutase, total antioxidant capacity significantly increased, H2O2 content significantly decreased), and inflammatory response (pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α, MyD88, IL 1-β gene expression decreased significantly), apoptosis (baxa, Bcl2, Tgf-β, Smad2, Caspase3, Caspase 9 gene expression decreased significantly) induced by ammonia stress. In addition, activation of autophagy in yellow catfish can enhance ammonia detoxification by promoting the urea cycle and synthesis of glutamine (the mRNA level of CPS Ⅰ, ARG, OTC, ASS, ASL, and GS increased in the HA + RAPA group). The data above demonstrates that activating autophagy can alleviate oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and cell apoptosis induced by ammonia stress. Therefore, enhancing autophagy is proposed as a potential strategy to mitigate the detrimental impacts of ammonia stress on yellow catfish.

Effects of Different Cultivation Modes on Morphological Traits and Correlations between Traits and Body Mass of Crayfish ( Procambarus clarkii). BIOLOGY 2024; 13:395. [PMID: 38927275 PMCID: PMC11200717 DOI: 10.3390/biology13060395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
In this study, juvenile crayfish hatched from the same population were cultured in different growing environments: pond (D1), paddy field (D2), and aquaculture barrel (D3), and fed for 60 days. Crayfishes were selected randomly, females and males, 50 tails each from six groups (D1-♀, D1-♂, D2-♀, D2-♂, D3-♀, D3-♂) to measure the following morphological traits: full length (X1), body length (X2), chelicerae length (X3), chelicerae weight (X4), cephalothorax length (X5), cephalothorax width (X6), cephalothorax height (X7), eye spacing (X8), caudal peduncle length (X9), and caudal peduncle weight (X10). We found that the coefficient of variation (CV) of X4 was the largest in each culture mode, and males (28.58%~38.67%) were larger than females (37.76%~66.74%). The CV of X4 of crayfish cultured in D1 and D2 was larger than that of D3. All traits except X8 were positively correlated with body weight (p < 0.05). After pathway analysis, we found that X4, X5, X7, and X10 were significantly correlated with the body weight of D1-♀; the equation was YD1-♀ = -29.803 + 1.249X4 + 0.505X5 + 0.701X7 + 1.483X10 (R2 = 0.947). However, X2, X4, and X6 were significantly correlated with the body weight of D1-♂; the equation was YD1-♂ = -40.881 + 0.39X2 + 0.845X4 + 1.142X6 (R2 = 0.927). In D2-♀, X1, X4, X5, and X10 were significantly correlated with body weight; the equation was YD2-♀ = -12.248 + 0.088X1 + 1.098X4 + 0.275X5 + 0.904X10 (R2 = 0.977). X4 and X5 played a major role in the body weight of D2-♂ with the equation: YD2-♂ = -24.871 + 1.177X4 + 0.902X5 (R2 = 0.973). X3 and X10 mainly contributed to the body weight of D3-♀ with the equation: YD3-♀ = -22.476 + 0.432X3 + 3.153X10 (R2 = 0.976). X1 and X4 mainly contributed to the body weight of D3-♂ with the equation: YD3-♂ = -34.434 + 0.363X1 + 0.669X4 (R2 = 0.918). Comparing the pathway analysis with the gray relation analysis, we could conclude that the traits most correlated with body weight in D1-♀ were X10 and X7; in D1-♂, X6; in D2-♀, X10, X1, and X5; in D2-♂, X5; in D3-♀, X10; and in D3-♂, X4 and X1.

Abstract
Fluxapyroxad (FX), a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide, has been detected in global marine and aquatic organisms. However, as a new pollutant, its biotoxicity and ecological risks to marine aquatic organisms are unclear. The accumulation and elimination processes and toxic effects of FX on Larimichthys crocea (L. crocea) at environmental concentrations were assessed. FX (1.0 μg/L) was rapidly enriched and persisted prolonged in L. crocea muscle and FX is highly toxic to juvenile L. crocea with the 96 h LC50 of 245.0 μg/L. Furthermore, the toxic effects of FX on juvenile L. crocea and adults L. crocea were compared and analyzed. In contrast to those of adult L. crocea, juvenile L. crocea showed a stronger oxidative stress response and rescued liver damage in terms of antioxidant enzyme activity, energy supply, and liver damage to FX. Transcriptomic analysis also showed that drug metabolism was activated. In the adult L. crocea, the disturbance of the energy metabolism, oxidative respiration, TCA cycle, and lipid metabolism genes were firstly found. The results revealed the accumulation and elimination pattern and ecotoxicological hazards of FX to L. crocea, which provided important theoretical basis for the study of environmental risks caused by new pollutants to marine organisms.

Abstract
Ammonia is a common toxicant in aquatic systems and one of the key factors affecting aquaculture. However, data on mollusks' toxic response and coping mechanisms to ammonia nitrogen, especially freshwater mollusks, are still lacking. In this study, we evaluated the tolerance of a freshwater mollusk Solenaia oleivora to ammonia and investigated its coping mechanisms by combining physiological, metabolic, and transcriptomic analyses in the gills. The acute toxicity test revealed that the LC50-96 h (temperature-20 ℃, pH-7.4) of ammonia in S. oleivora was 63.29 mg/L. The physiological and TUNEL results showed that although 10 mg/L ammonia exposure increased the activities of antioxidant, immune and ammonia detoxification-related enzymes, it still caused oxidative damage and cell apoptosis of gill tissues. A total of 97 differential metabolites (DMs) and 3431 differential expressed genes (DEGs) were identified after ammonia stress. Among them, most DMs and DEGs were involved in immune response, antioxidant, cell apoptosis, carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and lipid metabolism. The enhancement of glycolysis and lipid metabolisms may provide energy for immune response and ammonia detoxification. In addition, glutamine synthesis, alanine synthesis and urea cycle were involved in ammonia nitrogen detoxification in the gill tissue of S. oleivora. Our results indicate that ammonia leads to individual death in S. oleivora, as wells as oxidative damage, cell apoptosis, immune response, and metabolic changes of gill tissues. The findings will provide valuable information to assess the potential ecological risk of environmental ammonia to freshwater mollusks and theoretical guidance for the healthy aquaculture of S. oleivora.

Abstract
The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of Bisphenol S (BPS) on growth, physiological and biochemical indices, and the expression of ecdysteroid receptor (ECR) of the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). The gene encoding ECR was isolated from red swamp crayfish by homologous cloning and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The ECR transcripts were 1757 bp long and encoded proteins of 576 amino acids. The quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that the ECR gene was expressed in various tissues under normal conditions, and the highest level was observed in the ovary and the lowest level was observed in the muscle (P < 0.05). Then, the experiment was designed with four different BPS concentrations (0, 1, 10, and 100 μg/L), BPS exposure for 14 days, three parallel groups, and a total of 240 red swamp crayfish. At 100 μg/L BPS, the survival rate, weight gain rate, and relative length rate were decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Malonaldehyde (MDA) content reached the highest level at 100 μg/L BPS. When BPS concentration was higher than 10 μg/L, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The expression levels of the ECR gene in ovary, intestinal, gill, and hepatopancreas tissues were significantly increased after BPS exposure (P < 0.05). The ECR gene expression in ovaries and Y-organs was significantly higher than other groups in 10 μg/L BPS (P < 0.05). The expressions of the tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) genes in the hepatopancreas gradually increased, and the highest expression was observed exposed in 100 μg/L BPS (P < 0.05). This research will provide novel insights into the health risk assessment of BPS in aquatic organisms.

Abstract
Glufosinateammonium (GLA) is one of the most widely used agricultural herbicides. It is frequently detected in surface waters near farmland and may pose a risk to non-target aquatic species. This study aimed to explore the toxicity of subacute GLA exposure in crayfish. Adult red swamp crayfish were exposed to GLA (0, 1, 10, and 100 mg/L) for 21 days. Bioaccumulation, oxidative stress, nonspecific immunity, and the expression of genes encoding xenobiotic detoxification-related enzymes were examined. The results showed GLA accumulation and hepatopancreatic histopathological changes (dilation of hepatic tubules and vacuolation of hepatocytes) in the exposed crayfish. GLA exposure induced ROS production, inhibited glutathione expression, and catalase activity in the crayfish hepatopancreas, as well as inhibited immunoenzyme expression (acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, and lysozyme) in the hemolymph. In addition, the total hemocyte number decreased, and the proportion of hemocyte subsets changed significantly. Superoxide dismutase first increased and then decreased with increasing GLA dosage. GLA promoted the expression of biotransformation enzymes (cypb5, gst) in the hepatopancreas. Our results suggest that subacute GLA exposure caused structural damage to the hepatopancreatic tissue and decreased antioxidant capacity and non-specific immunity in crayfish. These findings provide insight into the toxicity of herbicides on non-target organisms.

Abstract
Haloxyfop-P-methyl is used extensively in agricultural production, and its metabolites in soil have potentially toxic effects on aquatic ecosystems. In this study, we explored the toxicity of haloxyfop-P-methyl on Chiromantes dehaani. The results of the 21-day toxicity test showed that haloxyfop-P-methyl decreased the weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR) and hepatosomatic index (HSI). In glucose metabolism, haloxyfop-P-methyl reduced pyruvate, lactate, lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase, but enhanced glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and hexokinase. Furthermore, expression of glucose metabolism-related genes was upregulated. We cloned the full-length CdG6PDH gene, which contains a 1587 bp ORF that encoded a 528 amino acid polypeptide. In antioxidant system, haloxyfop-P-methyl increased glutathione, thioredoxin reductase and thioredoxin peroxidase activities and activated the Nrf2/ARE pathway through upregulation of ERK, JNK, PKC and Nrf2. In immunity, low concentrations haloxyfop-P-methyl, or short-term exposure, upregulated the expression of immune-related genes and enhanced immune-related enzymes activity, while high concentrations or long-term exposure inhibited immune function. In summary, haloxyfop-P-methyl inhibited the growth performance, disrupted glucose metabolism, activated the antioxidant system, and led to immunotoxicity. The results deepen our understanding of the toxicity mechanism of haloxyfop-P-methyl and provide basic biological data for the comprehensive assessment of the risk of haloxyfop-P-methyl to the environment and humans.
