    查看更多>>摘要:Genomic selection(GS)applied to the breeding of aquatic animals has been of great interest in recent years due to its higher accuracy and faster genetic progress than pedigree-based methods.The genetic analysis of complex traits in GS does not escape the current excitement around artificial intelligence,including a renewed interest in deep learning(DL),such as deep neural networks(DNNs),convolutional neural networks(CNNs),and autoencoders.This article reviews the current status and potential of DL applications in phenotyping,genotyping and genomic estimated breeding value(GEBV)prediction of GS.It can be seen from this article that CNNs obtain phenotype data of aquatic animals efficiently,and without injury;DNNs as single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)variant callers are critical to have shown higher accuracy in assessments of genotyping for the next-generation sequencing(NGS);autoencoder-based genotype imputation approaches are capable of highly accurate genotype imputation by encoding complex genotype relationships in easily portable inference models;sparse DNNs capture nonlinear relationships among genes to improve the accuracy of GEBV prediction for aquatic ani-mals.Furthermore,future directions of DL in aquaculture are also discussed,which should expand the application to more aquaculture species.We believe that DL will be applied increasingly to molecular breeding of aquatic animals in the future.

    查看更多>>摘要:Understanding the potential areas suitable for offshore mariculture is crucial to global seafood security.Here,we map the potential global offshore mariculture areas for 23 principal commercial finfish using an ensemble model.The model involves the temporal-spatial heterogeneity of environments and constraints of temperature-dependent hypoxia and cold edges of cultured finfish by metabolic index and lower thermal safety margin,respectively.Our results show that currently,there is 9.16±1.22 million km2 of potentially suitable area for offshore finfish mariculture.Under climate change,the potential suitable area will be reduced to between 86.7%and 91.7%of the current size by 2050.Compared to the decline in tropical regions,the expanded potential areas in temperate and polar regions will become more important for global seafood security.The potential offshore finfish mariculture area responds differently to global change among species,and cold-water finfish may benefit from global warming.Overall,despite changes in the distribution of global offshore mariculture areas and replacements of local potential mariculture species,offshore finfish mariculture still holds immense potential in the future.

    查看更多>>摘要:Indole signaling has been regarded as a promising target to control aquatic diseases.However,the relationship between exogenous indole and the virulence of Edwardsiella piscicida is obscure.E.piscicida is a facultative intracellular pathogen,and has been a model strain in aquaculture.In this study,we investigated the effect of exogenous indole on stress resistance and virulence of E.piscicida in the presence of and absence of endogenous indole(WT and ΔtnaA,respectively).Our results showed that exogenous indole reduced the resistance of WT against strong acidic stress,but enhanced that of ΔtnaA.Also,we found that exogenous indole abated viability of E.piscicida at high temperature,repressed bacterial biofilm formation,impaired bacterial envelope integrity,and weakened bacterial proliferation in macrophages,irrespective of the presence or absence of endogenous indole.These virulence-related phenotypes caused by exogenous indole are reasonably explained by the observation that exogenous indole downregulated the expressions of CpxRA and its target YccA via being responded by CpxA.The effects of exogenous indole on strong acid resistance are partially achieved by changing the expression of GadD,the key functional enzyme of acid resistance system(AR2).We believe that this is the first report about the impact of exogenous indole on strong acid stress and membrane integrity of pathogenic bacteria.Also,we reveal the likely mechanism by which exogenous indole regulates the expressions of virulence-related genes.These findings provide a new understanding on pathogenesis of E.piscicida and contribute to the prevention and control strategies of edwardsiellosis.

    查看更多>>摘要:Viral nervous necrosis(VNN)caused by a betanodavirus(NNV)is one of the major diseases in Asian seabass(Lates cal-carifer)hatcheries.Our previous studies showed that the tbx21 gene was in a QTL for NNV resistance in linkage group 23 in Asian seabass.The expression of this gene was changed in tissues of Asian seabass challenged with NNV.However,the role of tbx21 in NNV resistance remains largely unknown.In this study,tbx21 of Asian seabass was characterized.This gene consists of an ORF of 1866 bp,a 5'UTR of 357 bp,and a 3'UTR of 4674 bp.The TBX21 protein showed substantial amino acid similarity(70-96%)with other fish but exhibited lower identity(47-52%)with mammals.One SNP identified in the first intron was significantly associated with NNV resistance.In healthy fish,tbx21 was expressed in all tissues examined,and was highly expressed in the kidney and liver.The expression of tbx21 increased in the eye,gills,heart,kidney and gut,but decreased in the brain and spleen at five days after NNV challenge.Overexpression of tbx21 reduced the replication of NNV,whereas knockdown increased viral expression and virus titers.These results suggest that tbx21 plays a key role in NNV resistance.The SNP in this gene could be used as a marker to facilitate marker-assisted selection for NNV resistance.Further investigation of polymorphisms in the 5'and 3'UTRs of tbx21 may provide additional insights into the gene's role in NNV resistance.

    查看更多>>摘要:Given the importance of the intestinal microbiota in life-long health,increasing attention has been paid to ecological mechanisms that govern microbial succession.Both environmental dispersal and host priority effect play important roles in intestinal microbiota succession of aquatic animals,but their relative importance is unknown.Here,we explore the intestinal microbiota succession and assembly of Litopenaeus vannamei across larvae,postlarvae,juvenile,and preadult stages.We aimed to clarify the relative contributions between environmental dispersal and host priority effect on intestinal microbiota succession.We found that both α-and β-diversity of the intestinal microbiota changed dynamically along with host develop-ment.In particular,the intestinal microbiota assemblies were dominated by stochastic processes,except with the larvae stage.The succession of shrimp intestinal microbiota was clearly influenced by internal communities in the intestines of larvae,as well as the external communities in water and sediment.Importantly,the impact of environmental dispersal on the intestinal microbiota succession outweighed the host priority effect during the larvae and postlarvae stages.However,this situation was largely reversed during the juvenile and preadult stages.The possible reason is that,during the larvae and postlarvae stages,shrimp mainly feed on plankton from the environment,and their digestive system remains underdeveloped,the host recruits numerous microbes from the environment and selects specific microbes to aid digestion and nutrient absorption.These find-ings enhance our understanding of alternate effects of environmental and host factors on the intestinal microbiota succession of aquatic animals and provide a foundation for developing microecological management strategies in shrimp culture.

    查看更多>>摘要:Kelps are pivotal to temperate coastal ecosystems,providing essential habitat and nutrients for diverse marine life,and signifi-cantly enhancing local biodiversity.The impacts of elevated CO2 levels on kelps may induce far-reaching effects throughout the marine food web,with potential consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem functions.This study considers the kelp Macrocystis pyrifera and its symbiotic microorganisms as a holistic functional unit(holobiont)to examine their collective response to heightened CO2 levels.Over a 4 month cultivation from the fertilization of M.pyrifera gametes to the develop-ment of juvenile sporophytes,our findings reveal that elevated CO2 levels influence the structure of the M.pyrifera symbiotic microbiome,alter metabolic profiles,and reshape microbe-metabolite interactions using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry analysis.Notably,Dinoroseobacter,Sulfitobacter,Methylotenera,Hyphomonas,Milano-WF1B-44 and Methylophaga were selected as microbiome biomarkers,which showed significant increases in comparative abundance with elevated CO2 levels.Stress-response molecules including fatty-acid metabolites,oxylipins,and hormone-like compounds such as methyl jasmonate and prostaglandin F2a emerged as critical metabolomic indicators.We propose that elevated CO2 puts certain stress on the M.pyrifera holobiont,prompting the release of these stress-response molecules.Moreover,these molecules may aid the kelp's adaptation by modulating the microbial commu-nity structure,particularly influencing potential pathogenic bacteria,to cope with environmental change.These results will enrich the baseline data related to the chemical interactions between the microbiota and M.pyrifera and provide clues for predicting the resilience of kelps to future climate change.

    查看更多>>摘要:Fisheries are social-ecological systems.Evaluating the sustainability of fisheries requires methods to measure performance from ecological,economic,social,and governance aspects.Whereas a number of multi-dimensional evaluation tools such as fishery performance indicators(FPIs)have been used for assessing fishery management systems,fishery management practices and data availability are likely to differ substantially among fisheries in different countries.This makes it at least somewhat problematic to precisely adapt this methodology to fisheries within a given country.This study constructed a practical tool to evaluate and compare fishery systems in China.On the basis of an established indicator library and the FPIs tool,indicators in the newly developed tool for comprehensive fisheries evaluation were selected according to the management objectives,data availability,and the authority of relevant indicators.The sustainability assessment tool for Chinese fisheries(SAT-fish)provides a three-tier hierarchical framework covering 60 indicators,of which 48 indicators were extracted from the FPIs tool and 12 indicators were associated with policy statements.Applicability and comprehensiveness of this tool in comparison with six other well-established frameworks were investigated.This tool offers a promising new method to assess the sustainability of fishery systems in China,with great potential to guide Chinese fisheries towards a higher level of sustainability.

    查看更多>>摘要:Climate change,particularly extreme climate events,is likely to alter the population connectivity in diverse taxa.While the population connectivity for highly migratory species is expected to be vulnerable to climate change,the complex migration patterns has made the measurement difficult and studies rare.However,otolith biogeochemistry provides the possibility to evaluate these climate-induced impacts.Japanese Spanish mackerel Scomberomorus niphonius is a highly migratory fish that is widely distributed in the northwest Pacific.Otoliths biogeochemistry of age-1 spawning or spent individuals from three consecutive years(2016-2018),during which a very strong El Nino was experienced(2015-2016),were analyzed to evaluate the temporal variation of connectivity for S.niphonius population along the coast of China.The elemental con-centrations of the whole otolith showed that Ba:Ca and Mg:Ca values were found to significantly increase in the El Nino year.The random forest classification and clustering analysis indicated a large-scale connectivity between East China Sea and the Yellow Sea in the El Nino year whereas the local S.niphonius assemblages in different spawning areas were more self-sustaining after the El Nino year.These findings lead to the hypothesis that environmental conditions associated with the El Nino Southern Oscillation(ENSO)events in the Northern Pacific Ocean would likely influence the population con-nectivity of S.niphonius.If so,extreme climate events can result in profound changes in the extent,pattern and connectivity of migratory fish populations.Our study demonstrates that otolith biogeochemistry could provide insight towards revealing how fish population response to extreme climate events.
