Abstract
This study investigated how Atlantic sturgeon cells respond to elevated temperatures, shedding light on the potential impacts of climate change on fish. Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus), an IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List species and evolutionarily related to paleonisiform species, may have considerable physiological adaptability, suggesting that this species may be able to cope with changing climatic conditions and higher temperatures. To test this hypothesis, the AOXlar7y cell line was examined at 20 °C (control) and at elevated temperatures of 25 °C and 28 °C. Parameters including proliferation, vitality, morphology, and gene expressions related to proliferation, stemness, and stress were evaluated. Additionally, to achieve a comprehensive understanding of cellular changes, mitochondrial and metabolic activities were assessed using Seahorse XF96. AOXlar7y cells adapted to 28 °C exhibited enhanced mitochondrial adaptability, plasticity, heightened cell proliferation, and increased hsp70 expression. Increased baseline respiration indicated elevated ATP demand, which is potentially linked to higher cell proliferation and heat stress defense. Cells at 28 °C also displayed elevated reserve respiration capacity, suggesting adaptation to energy demands. At 25 °C, AOXlar7y cells showed no changes in basal respiration or mitochondrial capacity, suggesting unchanged ATP demand compared to cells cultivated at 20 °C. Proliferation and glycolytic response to energy requirements were diminished, implying a connection between glycolysis inhibition and proliferation suppression. These research results indicate sturgeon cells are capable of withstanding and adapting to an 8 °C temperature increase. This cellular analysis lays a foundation for future studies aimed at a deeper understanding of fish cell physiological adaptations, which will contribute to a better knowledge of environmental threats facing Atlantic sturgeon and fish populations amid climate change.

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
Inbred species are useful resources for a variety of biomedical research applications. To create isogenic zebrafish, it is feasible to stop meiosis II (repeatedly) or mitosis (two times) in a haploid embryo by applying pressure or by delivering a heat shock, respectively. In this study, to improve the repeatability, we suggest a less complicated approach based on sperm ultraviolet-C (UV-C) exposure for a shorter period followed by heat shock at various temperatures, eliminating the use of pressure in meiotic therapy since heat shock is more accessible to laboratories. In this study, the survivability rates of meiotic (Mei) and mitotic (Mit) gynogenesis offspring produced by various combinations of irradiation (28.5, 105, and 210 mJ/cm2) and temperature (Mei: 40.40°C, 40.60°C, or 40.90°C; Mt: 41.40°C, 41.90°C, or 42.45°C) were compared with diploid (C) and haploid (H) controls. Our findings demonstrated that 40.60°C and 41.90°C were the most suitable temperatures to produce meiotic and mitotic gynogenesis, respectively, whereas 28.5 mJ/cm2 was more successful in ensuring haploid embryos. As a result, we deduced that meiotic gynogenesis produces more viable offspring than the mitotic approach and requires a lower temperature to maintain the second polar body.

Abstract
Temperature fluctuations caused by climate change and global warming pose a great threat to various species. Most fish are particularly vulnerable to elevated temperatures. Understanding the mechanism of high-temperature tolerance in fish can be beneficial for proposing effective strategies to help fish cope with global warming. In this study, we systematically studied the effects of high temperature on Acipenser dabryanus, an ancient living fossil and flagship species of the Yangtze River, at the histological, biochemical, transcriptomic and metabolomic levels. Intestinal and liver tissues from the control groups (18 °C) and acute heat stress groups (30 °C) of A. dabryanus were sampled for histological observation and liver tissues were assessed for transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling. Histopathological analysis showed that the intestine and liver tissues were damaged after heat stress. The plasma cortisol content and the levels of oxidative stress markers (catalase/glutathione reductase) and two aminotransferases (aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase) increased significantly in response to acute heat stress. Transcriptomic and metabolomic methods showed 6707 upregulated and 4189 downregulated genes and 64 upregulated and 78 downregulated metabolites in the heat stress group. Heat shock protein (HSP) genes showed striking changes in expression under heat stress, with 21 genes belonging to the HSP30, HSP40, HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90 families significantly upregulated by short-term heat stress. The majority of genes associated with ubiquitin and various immune-related pathways were also markedly upregulated in the heat stress group. In addition, the combined analysis of metabolites and gene profiles suggested an enhancement of amino acid metabolism and glycometabolism and the suppression of fatty acid metabolism during heat stress, which could be a potential energy conservation strategy for A. dabryanus. To the best of our knowledge, the present study represents the first attempt to reveal the mechanisms of heat stress responses in A. dabryanus, which can provide insights into improved cultivation of fish in response to global warming.

A different transcriptional landscape sheds light on Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) mechanisms to cope with bacterial infection and chronic heat stress.

Abstract
Sturgeons are chondrostean fish of high economic value and critically endangered due to anthropogenic activities, which has led to sturgeon aquaculture development. Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), the second most important species reared for caviar, is successfully farmed in subtropical countries, including Uruguay. However, during the Uruguayan summer, sturgeons face intolerable warmer temperatures that weaken their defences and favour infections by opportunistic pathogens, increasing fish mortality and farm economic losses. Since innate immunity is paramount in fish, for which the liver plays a key role, we used deep RNA sequencing to analyse differentially expressed genes in the liver of Russian sturgeons exposed to chronic heat stress and challenged with Aeromonas hydrophila. We assembled 149.615 unigenes in the Russian sturgeon liver transcriptome and found that metabolism and immune defence pathways are among the top five biological processes taking place in the liver. Chronic heat stress provoked profound effects on liver biological functions, up-regulating genes related to protein folding, heat shock response and lipid and protein metabolism to meet energy demands for coping with heat stress. Besides, long-term exposure to heat stress led to cell damage triggering liver inflammation and diminishing liver ability to mount an innate response to A. hydrophila challenge. Accordingly, the reprogramming of liver metabolism over an extended period had detrimental effects on fish health, resulting in weight loss and mortality, with the latter increasing after A. hydrophila challenge. To our knowledge, this is the first transcriptomic study describing how chronic heat-stressed sturgeons respond to a bacterial challenge, suggesting that liver metabolism alterations have a negative impact on the innate anti-bacterial response.

Abstract
Heat shock procedure is crucial for gynogenetic manipulation leading to diploidization of the maternal genomes; however, the underlying molecular mechanism especially the transcriptomic changes during this procedure has still not been unveiled yet. Here, the artificial gynogenesis of zebrafish (Danio rerio) using inactivated sperm from rare minnow (Gobiocypris rarus) was conducted. We found that artificial gynogenetic manipulation, including pseudo-fertilization and heat shock, decreased hatching rates, whereas heat shock treatment alone had medium hatching rates. The first cleavage changed the expression of genes associated with RNA transcription and protein synthesis. A co-expression network regulated by hub genes GIT1, Sepsecs, and FLNB was significantly correlated with heat shock procedure. The cyclin family and cyclin-dependent kinase-related genes were lowly expressed in embryos from gynogenetic zebrafish, and genes involved in controlling the cell cycle and genomic stability were significantly altered by the gynogenetic treatment. Our results show the effects of artificial gynogenesis on embryos and describe changes in gene expression that suggest drastic changes take place in cell division by heat shock procedure. These findings will contribute to an understanding of the molecular basis for germplasm improving, including the purifying effect and allogynogenetic biological effect by gynogenesis.

Abstract
For migratory fish, passing through the cold, fast flowing water of a dam causes stress, leading to disease and even death. To determine the immune response to cold stress in a dam-lake after swimming fatigue in Chinese sucker (Myxocyprinus asiaticus), the spleen mRNA expression profiles in response to cold stress (CS) after fatigue stress (FS) were compared with that of the control (SS). We identified 40,952 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the spleen for at least one comparison among 211,397 unigenes. We identified 11,869 DEGs (4,968 upregulated and 6,901 downregulated), 17,803 DEGs (10,610 upregulated and 7,193 downregulated), and 30,579 DEGs (20,652 upregulated and 9,927 downregulated) in the SS vs. FS, SS vs. CS, and FS vs. CS comparisons, respectively. Enrichment analysis indicated the involvement of the immune system and infectious diseases, including the toll-like receptor pathway, the complement and coagulation cascade, and the natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity pathway. There were 2,991 DEGs (271 upregulated and 2,720 downregulated), and 2,878 DEGs (873 upregulated and 2,005 downregulated) associated with these pathways in the SS vs. FS and SS vs. CS comparisons, respectively. In the cold stress after fatigue group, the expression levels of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 and HSP90 genes were significantly upregulated; however, more immune response genes showed significantly downregulated expression in SS vs. CS compared with that in SS vs. FS, including those encoding tumor necrosis factor, C-C motif chemokines (3, 8, and 13), complement components (C3, C4, C6, and C7), immunoglobulin, and cathepsins. Overall, cold stress combined with swimming fatigue from passing the dam resulted in the downregulation of many immune genes, suggesting that the Chinese sucker might have experienced serious immune suppression.

Abstract
Temperature is a major environmental factor influence fish growth, development, metabolism and physiological performance. Silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus) is an economically important fishery species, however, the molecular mechanisms responsive to long-term cold stress are still unclear. Hence, we altered water temperature from 13 °C to 8 °C, a logistic fit curve for the survival rate of P. argenteus under a gradient cold stress were thus achieved, 50% survival rate at a measured temperature of 7 °C-7.5 °C. After stimulation, the gill, liver and muscle tissues were investigated through transcriptome, antioxidant enzymes and histological observation. The results showed that antioxidant enzyme and Na+-k+ ATPase activity in gill tissue was significantly increased, tissue damage and apoptosis were observed in multi-tissues. By high-throughput sequencing, a total of 618,097,404 reads of raw data and 598,855,490 reads of clean data were obtained, containing 12,489 differently expressed genes (DEGs). KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that DNA replication, protein digestion and absorption, cardiac muscle contraction, adrenergic signaling in cardiomyocytes, and metabolic pathways were significantly enriched in multi-tissues. Fifteen DEGs were selected for real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis, and the results were consistent with transcriptome profiling. Based on the results, we inferred that P. argenteus survived at low temperatures may be achieved by improving the ability to scavenge oxyradical substance and enhancing cell fluidity. This present study indicated that the effects of long-term cold stress on P. argenteus, which is valuable for breeding cold-tolerant P. argenteus stocks for cultivation.

Abstract
Motivation: Siberian sturgeon is a long lived and late maturing fish farmed for caviar production in 50 countries. Functional genomics enable to find genes of interest for fish farming. In the absence of a reference genome, a reference transcriptome is very useful for sequencing based functional studies. Results: We present here a high-quality transcriptome assembly database built using RNA-seq reads coming from brain, pituitary, gonadal, liver, stomach, kidney, anterior kidney, heart, embryonic and pre-larval tissues. It will facilitate crucial research on topics such as puberty, reproduction, growth, food intake and immunology. This database represents a major contribution to the publicly available sturgeon transcriptome reference datasets. Availability: The database is publicly available at http://siberiansturgeontissuedb.sigenae.org Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Database online.

Abstract
Exposure to high temperatures can lead to thermotolerance in fish, which is hypothesized to potentially improve post-release survival in species under restocking programs, like Atlantic sturgeon. The aim of this study was to determine whether Atlantic sturgeon juveniles exposed to a 4-week temperature treatment respond differently to a subsequent heat shock than juveniles exposed to heat shock for the first time (naive fish). Response to heat shock was assessed by mapping the liver transcriptome. In total, 838 unique contigs were differentially expressed between the trained and the control group (592 downregulated, 261 upregulated, and 15 down- or upregulated, depending on the condition), corresponding to genes involved in the response to heat, tissue damage, proteolysis, and metabolism. Temperature-trained fish showed 2-4-fold fewer dysregulated contigs than naive fish, indicating their ability to maintain and recover homeostasis faster. During heat shock, hspc1 was upregulated in both experimental groups, while hspa1 and dnaja4 were exclusively upregulated in the control. Overall, compensatory mechanisms were observed in addition to the heat shock response. Only two genes, fgg and apnl, were upregulated at nearly all timepoints in both groups. Peptidases were more strongly downregulated in control fish, which also showed a reduction in lipid metabolism during recovery. Keratins, pck1, gadd45ga, and gadd45gb were differentially expressed between trained and control fish, and due to their roles in tissue protection and ER stress reduction, they might be responsible for the maintenance of the transcriptional homeostasis observed in trained fish.

Abstract
At some point early in the vertebrate lineage, two whole genome duplication events (1R, 2R) took place that allowed for the diversification and sub-/neo-functionalization of the glycoprotein hormones (GpHs). All jawed vertebrates possess the GpHs luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), each of which are heterodimers with a common alpha subunit and unique beta subunits. In 2002, a novel glycoprotein hormone named thyrostimulin was described to have unique GpA2 and GpB5 subunits that were homologous to the vertebrate alpha and beta subunits. The presence of GpA2 and GpB5 in representative protostomes and deuterostomes indicates their ancestry in the GpH family. There are several reports of GpH subunit evolution, but none have included GpA2 and GpB5 for species in each major vertebrate class. Thus, we addressed the ancestry of two paralogous GpB5 subunits (GpB5a and GpB5b) that were previously only recognized in two teleost species. Our search for orthologous GpB5a and GpB5b sequences in representative vertebrates and phylogenetic analysis, in addition to the currently published evolutionary scenarios of the GpH family, supports that GpB5a and GpB5b are paralogs that arose from the first vertebrate whole genome duplication event (1R). Syntenic analysis supports lineage specific losses of GpB5a in chondrichthyes, basal actinopterygians, and tetrapods, and retention in coelacanth and teleosts. Additionally, we were unable to identify GpA2 transcripts from tilapia mRNA, suggesting that this species does not produce heterodimeric thyrostimulin. While the conserved or even species-specific functional role of thyrostimulin or its individual subunits are still unknown in vertebrates, the analyses presented here provide context for future studies on the functional divergence of the GpH family.
