Research Progress on the Stress Affecting Muscle Quality of Aquatic Animals during Live Transportation
[Objective]The aim of this study is to reveal the mechanism of stress affecting muscle quality in aquatic animals,and to provide reference for the live transportation of aquatic products.[Methods]This review categorizes stressors during transportation into temperature,hypoxia,compression,vibration,ammonia nitrogen,and air exposure,and their effects on muscle quality of different aquatic animals are summarized;On this basis,the effects of stress relief measures such as adding salt,fasting,adding antioxidants,anaesthetization,and cold acclimation on the muscle quality of aquatic animals are discussed.In addition,the research progress of omics technology in revealing the mechanism of stress affecting muscle quality in aquatic animals is introduced.[Results and Conclusion]Under stress,the life activities of aquatic animals,such as gene expression,metabolism,and immunity,undergo adaptive regulation,resulting in changes in protein,metabolite composition,and cell morphology,ultimately affecting muscle quality.Eliminating stress can improve the muscle quality of aquatic animals,but further research on the mechanism is needed.
