Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China and sustains a high level of biodiversity in the mid-reach area of the Yangtze River watershed. Poyang Lake is also one of the most important aquaculture regions in China, and a great number of non-native species have been introduced into it. We...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an important foodborne pathogen and has recently gained particular notoriety because it causes acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in shrimp, which has caused significant economic loss in the shrimp industry. Here, we report a whole-genome analysis of 233 V....

Litopenaeus vannamei is a major cultured shrimp, accounting for 70% of the total output of mariculture shrimp in China. Genetic improvement is an essential measure for improving the important economic traits in shrimp aquaculture. Understanding the genetic diversity and population structure of...

Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum is an important marine aquaculture shellfish. This species has several pedigrees including White, Zebra, Liangdao Red and Marine Red distributing in the coastal areas in North China. In this work, we studied the metabolic differences induced by Vibrio harveyi in...

Nowadays, the cultivation mode of Hyriopsis cumingii urgently needs transformation and upgrading, and realizing sustainable aquaculture lacks the selection of suitable algae and the exploration of culture conditions. This experiment is to evaluate combined effects of ration levels (low ration,...

Nitrite is the major environmental pollutant in the freshwater aquaculture environment, which has a negative impact on aquatic species growth. Currently, we know that the main way nitrite enters crustaceans is through their gills. In this study, a total of 96 h acute nitrite stress (60 mg/L)...

Aquatic products, as essential sources of protein, have attracted considerable concern by producers and consumers. Precise fish disease prevention and treatment may provide not only healthy fish protein but also ecological and economic benefits. However, unlike intelligent two-dimensional diagnoses ...

The structure and function of intestinal microorganisms are closely related to host metabolism, development, physiology, and health. The red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, is an important farmed aquatic species in China, which is grown in aquaculture ponds and rice paddy fields. Since these...

In recirculating aquaculture system, the abnormal behavior of fish is usually caused by poor water quality, hypoxia or diseases. Delayed recognition of this behavior will lead to large number of fish deaths. Thus, real-time detection and tracking of fish that behaviors abnormally is an effective...

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) associate with nuclei, cytoskeleton and membranes, and as molecular chaperones they bind partially denatured proteins, thereby preventing irreversible protein aggregation during stress. In the present study, the small heat shock proteins of Tegillarca granosa...
