Galectins are proteins that are involved in the innate immune response against pathogenic microorganisms. In the present study, the gene expression pattern of galectin-1 (named as NaGal-1) and its function in mediating the defense response to bacteri...
Sphingosine kinases (SPHKs) are essential enzymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of sphingosine to produce sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), which plays pivotal roles in inflammation and immune regulation. In this study, genome-wide association analy...
Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetases (EC 2.7.6.1) are key enzymes in the biological synthesis of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate and are involved in diverse developmental processes. In our previous study, the PRPS1 gene was discovered as a key disea...
In this study, twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci were screened to evaluate the genetic diversity of five yellow drum (Nibea albiflora) populations in the Zhoushan Sea region of the East China Sea, including one wild population (WP), one artifici...
The cryopreservation of ovarian tissues from fish has recently been carried out for several endangered and commercially valuable species. However, previous studies in this context have focused on the cryopreservation of immature ovaries—mainly...
Food enrichment represents a novel feeding strategy for aquaculture. In the current study, juvenile Nibea albiflora (average weight 29.65 ± 0.13 g) were used and three feeding regimes (A—commercial diet; B—a diet comprising 90% com...
The yellow drum (Nibea albiflora) is a marine teleost fish with strong disease resistance, yet the understanding of its immune response and key functional genes is fragmented. Here, RNA-Seq was used to investigate the regulation pathways and genes in...
The yellow drum (Nibea albiflora) is an important marine economic fish that is widely distributed in the coastal waters of the Northwest Pacific. In order to understand the molecular regulatory mechanism of the yellow drum under salinity stress, in t...
The inherent deficiency of phospholipids in Artemia limits its nutritional value as live prey for marine fish larvae. In our previous study, we optimized a phospholipid enrichment method by incubating Artemia nauplii with 10 g of soybean lecithin per...
To address the issue of minimum mesh size regulations of the stow net fishery for croaker species, we tested and compared the size selectivity and exploitation pattern for diamond- and square-mesh codends with mesh sizes 35, 45 and 55 mm for little y...
To describe the species composition of fish larvae and juveniles in the Nanji Islands, monthly collection was conducted at 12 stations around the Nanji Islands from March 2023 to February 2024 by using horizontal tow at the surface layer. The fish la...
Uncertainty and controversy exist in the phylogenetic status of the Sciaenidae family because of the limited genetic data availability. In this study, a data set of 69,098 bp, covering 309 shared orthologous genes, was extracted from 18 genomes and 5...
