Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) holds a distinguished position in the realm of freshwater fisheries, aquaculture, and ecological research. As a species of paramount importance across the globe, their adaptability and economic value underline their significance in both natural habitats and controlled environments. This Special Issue aims to encapsulate the multifaceted dimensions of rainbow trout research, ranging from genetic enhancements, disease resistance, and nutritional advancements to sustainable aquaculture practices. Through a curated selection of cutting-edge research articles, we aspire to shed light on the latest scientific breakthroughs that are setting new frontiers in the study and cultivation of rainbow trout. Our objective is to provide a comprehensive overview that not only advances the current body of knowledge, but also inspires innovative approaches to address the ongoing challenges faced in rainbow trout research and aquaculture. We welcome contributions that explore novel methodologies, interdisciplinary studies, and reviews that forecast the future directions of rainbow trout studies. I look forward to your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fishes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Low-fishmeal feed is increasingly being adopted across the global aquaculture industry. This study evaluated dietary Clostridium butyricum and alanyl-glutamine (Ala-Gln) supplementation in juvenile triploid rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with a low-fishmeal diet. Four diets were tested: basal diet (SBM, 15% fishmeal and 21.6% soybean meal), SBM + 0.5% C. butyricum (CB), SBM + 1.0% Ala-Gln, and SBM + 0.5% C. butyricum + 1.0% Ala-Gln (CB-AG). Fish were fed in 500 L tanks in recirculating aquaculture systems for 8 weeks (62.52 ± 0.47 g). Each group comprised three tanks, with each tank housing 30 fish. Then 10 fish per tank were challenged with Aeromonas salmonicida. CB-AG showed significantly higher weight gain and specific growth rates than the SBM group (p < 0.05). Mortality was significantly lower in CB-AG and AG than in SBM after A. salmonicida challenge. Histomorphology revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) between CB-AG and SBM in muscularis thickness, villus width, and height. SBM sections showed inflammatory infiltration and border damage were attenuated in supplemented groups. Serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and dioxygenase (DAO) were significantly lower in CB-AG than SBM (p < 0.05), while serum and hepatic lysozyme (LZM) and hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD) were higher. Digestive enzymes indicated significantly higher trypsin and lipase activities in CB-AG (p < 0.05). CB-AG upregulated intestinal tight junction proteins and PepT1 and downregulated pro-inflammatory mediators. Combined 0.5% C. butyricum and 1.0% Ala-Gln inclusion effectively preserved growth performance, antioxidant capacity, gut microbiome homeostasis, and intestinal health in rainbow trout on low-fishmeal diets.

Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), a salmonid rhabdovirus, causes severe mortality exceeding 90% in both wild and farmed salmon and trout. Frequent outbreaks of IHNV highlight the urgent need for rapid detection methods to support effective prevention and control. This study developed a double-antibody sandwich ELISA (DAS-ELISA) targeting the nucleocapsid (N) protein of IHNV. Two peptides derived from the N protein—selected for their strong antigenicity, high level of conservation, and surface accessibility—were used as immunogens to generate two specific monoclonal antibodies. Following optimization, the DAS-ELISA was established using monoclonal antibody N-15 as the capture antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody N-106 as the detection antibody. The results of this study demonstrated that DAS-ELISA exhibited high specificity for multiple IHNV strains and showed no cross-reactivity with IPNV, SVCV, or VHSV. The detection sensitivity of DAS-ELISA for IHNV was determined to be 103 TCID50/mL. Parallel analysis of 293 clinical samples using DAS-ELISA and WOAH reference method demonstrated a concordance rate of 92.83% (κ = 0.856). These results confirm that the established DAS-ELISA exhibits high sensitivity, specificity, broad-spectrum applicability, and repeatability. In conclusion, this DAS-ELISA provides a reliable and efficient tool for high-throughput early detection of IHNV infection in clinical settings. Full article
