Summary: Chickens have a unique immune structure characterized by the absence of draining lymph nodes and the presence of well-developed mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. The structure and development of chicken lymphoid tissues in the intestine, particularly Peyer's patches, have been poorly studied. However, the use of CSF1R-eGFP reporter transgenic chickens has allowed for the visualization and investigation of the development and distribution of these tissues. This research provides insights that could benefit mucosal vaccination strategies and the development of targeted vaccine delivery systems.

Summary: The innate immune response relies on the ability of host cells to detect and respond to microbial nucleic acids. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in this process by distinguishing self from non-self. This study focused on TLR21, an avian TLR that recognizes bacterial DNA motifs. The findings suggest that avian TLR21 shares similar activation mechanisms to mammalian TLR9, highlighting the conservation of nucleic acid sensing mechanisms across species.

Summary: Recent advances in genomics have greatly contributed to the assessment of fish stocks by providing precise identification of genetic boundaries. This study used a genotyping-by-sequencing approach to reveal the existence of an additional genetic cluster of blackspot seabream in the northeast Atlantic, which was not previously identified. Factors such as ocean circulation patterns and local upwelling may play a role in the genetic differentiation observed in this study.

Summary: This study examines the acoustic properties of skipjack tuna and Atlantic mackerel, both bladderless pelagic fish species, and explains the significant differences observed. The research shows that the differences in material properties of their tissues predict a more than 10 dB greater reduced target strength in skipjack compared to mackerel at certain frequencies.

Summary: Circular RNAs (circRNA) are involved in gene expression and affect cellular processes such as transcription, splicing, and translation by interacting with microRNA and RNA binding proteins. A study identified circDNAJB6 as a circular RNA abundant in chicken macrophages after bacterial infection, and found that circDNAJB6 exacerbates cellular injury and interacts with multiple miRNAs and target genes, potentially impacting autophagy and MAPK signaling pathways.

Summary: This study evaluates the impact of considering ageing error and growth variability on the determination of input sample size (ISS) in statistical catch-at-age assessment models. The results show that including these sources of uncertainty decreases the ISS determined through bootstrap methods. This indicates that there is more variability in age composition and conditional age-at-length data than previously accounted for. Including these sources of uncertainty improves the estimation of ISS and subsequently improves the quality of stock assessment models.

Summary: The coloration of aquatic animals affects their adaptability to their environment and economic values. This study investigated the different components and molecular mechanisms of red and brown skin colors in common carp using LC-MS and transcript analysis. The results revealed the importance of retinol and carotenoid metabolism in the formation of body color in common carp, providing insights into the mechanism of color determination in this species.

Summary: The study investigated the molecular mechanism underlying the growth difference of sturgeons, specifically focusing on muscle structure, enzyme activity, and transcriptome analysis. The results showed that there were significant differences in fiber diameter and glycometabolism related enzymes between fast and slow-growing groups. RNA-Seq analysis identified differentially expressed genes and indicated the involvement of IGF1, IGFBPs, and myogenic regulatory factors in growth variation. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed the importance of glycolysis and cell cycle pathways in the improved growth performance of sturgeons. These findings contribute to our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanism of growth variation in fish.

Summary: This study conducted a comparative analysis between two species of oysters to reveal the differential thermal tolerance mechanisms in response to high-temperature stress. The research found that the two species exhibited divergent gene expression and epigenetic regulation, with the relatively thermotolerant species showing a more efficient transcriptional regulatory network at the genomic level.

Summary: This study found that partial replacement of fishmeal (FM) with moringa protein hydrolysate (MPH) in the diet of Nile tilapia can improve growth, digestive enzyme activity, economic efficiency, immune status, and gene expression related to immune function. Increasing levels of MPH replacement showed positive effects on growth parameters, hormone levels, enzyme activity, and immune indices. The resistance to bacterial challenge also increased with FM replacement by MPH. Overall, MPH can be utilized as a replacement for FM up to 60% to enhance the performance and immune status of Nile tilapia.

Summary: The pattern of gene expression and the activity of three proteases were investigated in larvae and juveniles of striped murrel. The study found that the expression levels and activities of trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pepsin varied during the growth stages, suggesting the optimal weaning period for larvae/juveniles of C. striata.
