Abstract
The aim of this study was to produce mutant strains of Bacillus subtilis with high probiotic performance for use in the aquaculture of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. The main strain of B. subtilis (MS) was irradiated with gamma rays (5.3 KGy). Subsequently, the B. subtilis mutant strain no. 45 (MS. 45) was selected for bacterial growth performance, resistance to acidic conditions, resistance to bile salts and antibacterial activity against Aeromonas hydrophila and Pseudomonas fluorescens. After 60 days, the rainbow trout (70.25 ± 3.89 g) fed with MS. 45 and MS were exposed to hypoxia stress (dissolved oxygen = 2 ppm). Subsequently, immune indices (lysozyme, bacterial activity and complement activity), hematological indices [hematocrit, hemoglobin, WBC, RBC, mean corpuscular volume (MCV)] and antioxidant factors (T-AOC, SOD and MDA)) were analyzed after and before hypoxia exposure. The expression of immunological genes (IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8) in the intestine and the expression of hypoxia-related genes (HIF-1α, HIF-2α, FIH1) in the liver were compared between the different groups under hypoxia and normoxia conditions. Growth, immunological and antioxidant indices improved in group MS. 45 compared to the other groups. Stress indices and associated immunologic and hypoxia expressions under hypoxia and normoxia conditions improved in MS. 45 compared to the other groups. This resulted in improved growth, immunity and stress responses in fish fed with the microbial supplement of MS. 45 (P < 0.05) under hypoxia and normoxia conditions, (P < 0.05), resulting in a significant improvement in trout aquaculture.

Effects of environmental hypoxia on the goldfish skeletal muscle: Focus on oxidative status and mitochondrial dynamics. JOURNAL OF CONTAMINANT HYDROLOGY 2024; 261:104299.

Abstract
The skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue. Its ability to respond to external stimuli and challenges allows it to face the functional needs of the organism. In the goldfish Carassius auratus, a model of hypoxia resistance, exposure to reduced oxygen is accompanied by an improvement of the swimming performance, relying on a sustained contractile behavior of the skeletal muscle. At the moment, limited information is available on the mechanisms underlying these responses. We here evaluated the effects of short- (4 days) and long- (20 days) term exposure to moderate water hypoxia on the goldfish white skeletal muscle, focusing on oxidative status and mitochondrial dynamics. No differences in lipid peroxidation, measured as 2-thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS), and oxidatively modified proteins (OMP) were detected in animals exposed to hypoxia with respect to their normoxic counterparts. Exposure to short-term hypoxia was characterized by an enhanced SOD activity and expression, paralleled by increased levels of Nrf2, a regulator of the antioxidant cell response, and HSP70, a chaperone also acting as a redox sensor. The expression of markers of mitochondrial biogenesis (TFAM) and abundance (VDAC) and of the mtDNA/nDNA ratio was similar under normoxia and under both short- and long-term hypoxia, thus excluding a rearrangement of the mitochondrial apparatus. Only an increase of PGC1α (a transcription factor involved in mitochondrial dynamics) was detected after 20 days of hypoxia. Our results revealed novel aspects of the molecular mechanisms that in the goldfish skeletal muscle may sustain the response to hypoxia, thus contributing to adequate tissue function to organism requirements.

Vet Res Commun 2024; 48:69-84.

Abstract
Yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been utilized as a probiotic in aqua-feeds to promote growth and alleviate the stress in aquatic animals. On the other hand, cadmium (Cd) toxicity causes serious retardation of growth and welfare status of aquatic animals. The present study was conducted to evaluate the protective role of dietary yeast in mitigating the waterborne Cd toxicity effects on the growth, haemato-biochemical, stress biomarkers, and histopathological investigations of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.). In a 3 × 3 factorial design, the acclimated fish (20-24 g) were randomly distributed into nine treatments in triplicates where they were fed on 0.0% (control), 0.5%, and 1.0% of yeast along with exposure to 0.0, 1.0, and 2.0 mg Cd/L for 60 days. All growth parameters and mRNA expressions of IGF-1 and GH genes as well as haematological parameters were markedly increased with the increase of dietary yeast levels; meanwhile these variables were significantly retarded with Cd exposure. Contradictory effects on the above-mentioned variables were observed with Cd toxicity. In contrast, blood cortisol, glucose, total cholesterol, and triglyceride, lactate dehydrogenase, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, in addition to DNA fragments % were noticeably increased with Cd toxicity especially at the treatment of 2.0 mg Cd/L, while decreasing with increasing dietary yeast levels. Compared with the control fish group, Cd concentrations in the gill, liver, and muscle tissues of gilthead seabream were higher in Cd-exposed treatments, especially at the treatment of 2.0 mg Cd/L. Deposition of Cd in fish liver was higher than that in gill tissues but lowest Cd residue was observed in muscle tissues. No significant changes in Cd residues in fish organs were observed in yeast-fed fish with no Cd exposure. The Cd exposure negatively affected histological status of gill, liver, and kidney tissues of S. aurata; while feeding Cd-exposed fish on yeast diets lowered the Cd residues in fish organs and recovered the adverse effects of Cd toxicity. Hence, this study recommends the addition of bakery yeast (1.0%) to fish diets to improve the performance, overall welfare, and histopathological status of gilthead seabream, S. aurata.

Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:3623. [PMID: 38066974 PMCID: PMC10705318 DOI: 10.3390/ani13233623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/22/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to expand knowledge on lumpfish stress physiology by investigating the effects of acute stress on primary (i.e., cortisol) and secondary (e.g., metabolites) stress responses, as well as oxidative stress biomarkers, from stress exposure to a recovery phase. The results showed that the lumpfish physiological response to 1 min air exposure is mild, in line with recent studies, and comparable to that described for white sturgeons. Cortisol seems to be the most reliable acute stress biomarker in lumpfish, with a significant increase in plasma 30 min after stress exposure, returning to resting levels 2 h after exposure. In contrast, glucose and lactate were not significantly altered by short-term air exposure. Effects on hepatic energy mobilisation were also detected following the acute stress. This study showed that acute 1 min air exposure seems tolerable, allowing a swift recovery. However, more studies on the impacts of air exposure and repeated acute stressors on lumpfish stress and immune responses are required to develop industry standards for lumpfish health and welfare monitoring.

Welker TL, Overturf K. Effect of Dietary Soy Protein Source on Effluent Water Quality and Growth Performance of Rainbow Trout Reared in a Serial Reuse Water System. Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:3090.

Abstract
Juvenile rainbow trout (125 ± 0.8 g) were fed a fishmeal control diet (C), a high soy protein concentrate diet (SP), a high soybean meal diet (HiS), or a diet with high levels of fermented soy protein concentrate (fSP) for 12 weeks in a tank system capable of receiving 1st and 3rd use water from a serial-reuse production hatchery. Water quality was generally lower in 3rd use compared to 1st use water and after passing through tanks (inflow vs. outflow). Total dissolved solids were significantly higher (p = 0.003) for 3rd use compared to 1st use water, and values were also higher (p < 0.001) for the fSP diet. Turbidity and ammonia were highest in tanks for trout fed the HiS and fSP and SP and fSP diets, respectively, but were characterized by high variation, which likely prevented the detection of significant differences. Weight gain (p < 0.001) and survival (p = 0.008) were significantly lower for trout in 3rd use compared to 1st use water. Trout fed the HiS diet were generally in poorer physiological condition with lower body fat stores (p = 0.05) and lower growth rate (p < 0.001) and survival (p = 0.05) compared to the other diets, which were similar. The expression of several stress-associated genes (FK506, DIO2, REGPS, Cyp1a, G6PH, GADD45a, and IRF-1) in the liver and gill showed that diet and water source affected their regulation. Replacement of FM by SP providing 50% of dietary protein promotes acceptable growth performance compared to an FM diet and was superior to HiS. The impacts of soy protein concentrate on water quality under commercial production conditions, however, require further study.

Abstract
Chaperone proteins have crucial roles to play in all animal species and are involved in mediating both the folding of newly synthesized peptides into their mature conformation, the refolding of misfolded proteins, and the trafficking of proteins between subcellular compartments. These highly conserved proteins have particularly important roles to play in dealing with disruptions of the proteome as a result of environmental stress since abiotic factors, including temperature, pressure, oxygen, water availability, and pollutants can readily disrupt the conformation and/or function of all types of proteins, e.g., enzymes, transporters, and structural proteins. The current review provides an update on recent advances in understanding the roles and responses of chaperones in aiding animals to deal with environmental stress, offering new information on chaperone action in supporting survival strategies including torpor, hibernation, anaerobiosis, estivation, and cold/freeze tolerance among both vertebrate and invertebrate species.

Abstract
Telomerase activity has been found in the somatic tissues of rainbow trout. The enzyme is essential for maintaining telomere length but also assures homeostasis of the fish organs, playing an important role during tissue regeneration. The unique morphological and physiological characteristics of triploid rainbow trout, when compared to diploid specimens, make them a promising model for studies concerning telomerase activity. Thus, in this study, we examined the expression of the Tert gene in various organs of subadult and adult diploid and triploid rainbow trout females. Upregulated Tert mRNA transcription was observed in all the examined somatic tissues sampled from the triploid fish when compared to diploid individuals. Contrastingly, Tert expression in the ovaries was significantly decreased in the triploid specimens. Within the diploids, the highest expression of Tert was observed in the liver and in the ovaries of the subadult individuals. In the triploids, Tert expression was increased in the somatic tissues, while the ovaries exhibited lower activity of telomerase compared to other organs and decreased compared to the ovaries in the diploids. The ovaries of triploid individuals were underdeveloped, consisting of only a few oocytes. The lack of germ cells, which are usually characterized by high Tert expression, might be responsible for the decrease in telomerase activity in the triploid ovaries. The increase in Tert expression in triploid somatic tissues suggests that they require higher telomerase activity to cope with environmental stress and maintain internal homeostasis.

Abstract
Organoleptic properties and nutritional value are the most important characteristics of fish fillet quality, which can be determined by a series of quality evaluation indexes and closely related to fish nutrition. Systematic organoleptic and nutritional quality evaluation indexes consisting of 139 indexes for physical properties and chemical compositions of triploid rainbow trout were established. Besides, effects of dietary lipid levels (6.6%, 14.8%, 22.8% and 29.4%) on the quality of triploid rainbow trout were analyzed in the study. The main results showed that, for fillet appearance quality, fish fed diets with lipid levels above 22.8% had higher fillet thickness and redness but lower gutted yield and fillet yield (p < 0.05). For fillet texture, fish fed the diet with a 6.6% lipid level had the highest fillet hardness (5.59 N) and lowest adhesiveness (1.98 mJ) (p < 0.05), which could be related to lipid, glycogen, water soluble protein and collagen contents of the fish fillet. For fillet odor, the odor intensity of “green, fatty and fishy” significantly increased with the increase of the dietary lipid level (from 1400 to 2773 ng/g muscle; p < 0.05), which was related to the degradation of n-6 and n-9 fatty acids. For fillet taste, a high lipid diet (≥22.8%) could increase the umami taste compounds contents (from 114 to 261 mg/100 g muscle) but decrease the bitterness and sourness taste compounds contents (from 127 to 106 mg/100 g muscle and from 1468 to 1075 mg/100 g muscle, respectively) (p < 0.05). For nutritional value, a high lipid diet could increase the lipid nutrition level (such as the content of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids increased from 3.47 to 4.41 g/kg muscle) but decease tryptophan and selenium content (from 2.48 to 1.60 g/kg muscle and from 0.17 to 0.11 g/kg muscle, respectively). In total, a high lipid diet could improve the quality of triploid rainbow trout. The minimum dietary lipid level for triploid rainbow trout should be 22.8% to keep the better organoleptic and nutritional quality.

Abstract
Overcoming a stress situation, such as hypoxia episodes, which involve an allostatic load, will depend on the ability of fish to modulate physiological and biochemical systems to maintain homeostasis. The aim of the study was to determine the integrated stress response after acute hypoxia of the rainbow trout considering the different elements and areas of the stress response: systemic and mucosal, local and global, and from the systemic hypothalamic–pituitary–interrenal axis to skin mucosa. For this purpose, trout were subjected to acute hypoxia (dissolved O2 down to 2 mg/L) for 1 h and then recovered and sampled at 1, 6, and 24 h after reoxygenation. Physiological responses were significantly affected by hypoxic stress and their interaction with time after the challenge, being significant for plasma lactate and cortisol levels, in both plasma and skin mucus. At the central brain level, only trh expression was modulated 1 h after hypoxia which indicates that brain function is not heavily affected by this particular stress. Unlike the brain, the head kidney and skin were more affected by hypoxia and reoxygenation. In the head kidney, an upregulation in the expression of most of the genes studied (gr, il1β, il6, tgfβ1, lysozyme, caspase 3, enolase, hif-1, myoglobin, sod2, gpx, gst, and gsr) took place 6 h after recovery, whereas only hsp70 and il10 were upregulated after 1 h. On the contrary, in the skin, most of the analyzed genes showed a higher upregulation during 1 h after stress suggesting that, in the skin, a local response took place as soon as the stressor was detected, thus indicating the importance of the skin in the building of a stress response, whereas the interrenal tissue participated in a later time point to help prevent further alteration at the central level. The present results also show that, even though the stressor is a physical/environmental stressor, all components of the biological systems participate in the regulation of the response process and the recovery process, including neuroendocrine, metabolism, and immunity.

Abstract
Acute hypoxia in water has always been a thorny problem in aquaculture. Oxygen and iron play important roles and are interdependent in fish. Iron is essential for oxygen transport and its concentration tightly controlled to maintain the cellular redox homeostasis. However, it is still unclear the role and mechanism of iron in hypoxic stress of fish. In this study, we investigated the role of iron in hypoxic responses of two zebrafish-derived cell lines. We found hypoxia exposed zebrafish liver cells (ZFL) demonstrated reduced expression of Ferritin and the gene fth31 for mitochondrial iron storage, corresponding to reduction of both intracellular and mitochondrial free iron and significant decrease of ROS levels in multiple cellular components, including mitochondrial ROS and lipid peroxidation level. In parallel, the mitochondrial integrity was severely damaged. Addition of exogenous iron restored the iron and ROS levels in cellular and mitochondria, reduced mitochondrial damage through enhancing mitophagy leading to higher cell viability, while treated the cells with iron chelator (DFO) or ferroptosis inhibitor (Fer-1) showed no improvements of the cellular conditions. In contrast, in hypoxia insensitive zebrafish embryonic fibroblasts cells (ZF4), the expression of genes related to iron metabolism showed opposite trends of change and higher mitochondrial ROS level compared with the ZFL cells. These results suggest that iron homeostasis is important for zebrafish cells to maintain mitochondrial integrity in hypoxic stress, which is cell type dependent. Our study enriched the hypoxia regulation mechanism of fish, which helped to reduce the hypoxia loss in fish farming.
