    Phytoplankton and zooplankton are the primary producers and consumers of aquatic ecosystems, respectively. Their accurate identification is the basis for aquatic ecology research. Traditional identification of phytoplankton and zooplankton based on morphological characteristics of species is time-consuming and labor-consuming, difficulty in identification, and underestimating species diversity. Therefore, a simple, efficient, accurate and standardized solution for studying biodiversity of zooplankton and phytoplankton is very necessary. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding technique has become a common method for studying aquatic biodiversity. It is mainly used in the studying of fish species diversity and has also been gradually used in the studying biodiversity of zooplankton and phytoplankton in recent years. This review firstly introduced the eDNA metabarcoding technique and its sampling method, and then focused on the application of this technique in the studying of biodiversity of zooplankton and phytoplankton to promote the development of eDNA metabarcoding technique in plankton diversity research.

    The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of four kinds of non-nutritive additives on the activity of digestive enzymes, immune function and in vitro digestibility of liver and pancreas of Australian freshwater lobster (Cherax quadricarinatus), and to screen out the appropriate feed additives, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the application and research of non-nutritive additives in feed. Citric acid (S-Ⅰ), complex enzyme preparation (S-Ⅱ), Lactobacillus plantarum plus Bacillus subtilis (S-Ⅲ), and rhizobium plus B.subtilis (S-IV) were used as the non-nutritive additives to feed Australian freshwater lobster for 14 days. Then, activities of enzymes [alkaline phosphatase(AKP), acid phosphatase (ACP), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC)] as well as in vitro digestibility of feed (dry matter digestibility, protein digestibility and amino acid production rate) were detected. S-Ⅰ could significantly increase (P<0.05) the activities of amylase, AKP and SOD in the hepatopancreas of Australian freshwater lobster, and S-Ⅱ could significantly increase (P<0.05) the activities of amylase, trypsin and immune function. The digestive enzyme and immune function of S-Ⅲ and S-Ⅳ were significantly improved (P<0.05). Among the four non-nutritive feed additives, S-IV had the highest dry matter digestibility, protein digestibility and amino acid production rate in vitro. The digestive enzyme activity, immune function and in vitro digestibility of S-Ⅲ and S-Ⅳ were higher than those of S-Ⅰ or S-Ⅱ, and in vitro digestibility of S-Ⅳ was higher than that of S-Ⅲ, so S-Ⅳ was preferred among the four non-nutritive additives.

    With the continuous expansion of oyster culture industry, the problem of oyster disease is becoming more and more serious. In recent years, ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) caused mass death of shellfish, which brought great economic losses to shellfish aquaculture industry. OsHV-1 infection occurred frequently in oysters, especially in the seedling stage. In this paper, 90 samples of Crassostrea gigas and C.angulata from six seedling growing enterprises and three sea areas in Fujian were tested for OsHV-1 by PCR and quantitative real-time PCR. The results showed that the average detection rate of OsHV-1 was about 11.11%. Among them, there were 30 seedling samples, while the positive detection rate of seedling samples was 23.33%, which was higher than the positive detection rate of 5% in adult shellfish, and the infection amount of positive samples in seedling was significantly higher than that in adult shellfish. The infection amount of OsHV-1 in C. gigas seedling sample was the highest, reached 6.1×107 copies/mg. This study could provide reference for the detection of ostreid herpesvirus as well as the prevention and control of oyster diseases.

    In order to investigate the common fish diseases in indoor culture of large yellow croaker (L.crocea), this study reports the occurrence of scuticociliatosis, a parasitic disease, on the surface of L.crocea in a laboratory circulating water recirculation system. The histopathological analysis of skin, liver and muscle of L.crocea was carried out to explore the pathogenic mechanism of scuticociliatosis. At the same time, in order to further identify the body surface parasitic Scuticociliatida ciliates of L.crocea, the pathogen was isolated, and the morphological characteristics of Scuticociliatida ciliates were analyzed by in vivo formaldehyde fixed microscopic observation and scanning electron microscope observation. The results revealed the presence of whitening symptoms on the head, skin, and fin base of L.crocea. Gill cover congestion and severe cases of white massive skin ulceration were observed, along with the infestation of a significant number of Scuticociliatida ciliates. Notably, no apparent pathological alterations were detected in the body tissue. Histopathological analysis showed that the skin and subcutaneous tissue were the main sites of infection with Scuticociliatida ciliates. Tissue necrosis, cytolysis and increase of inflammatory cells occurred in most areas of muscle tissue. Myofibril was obviously broken and muscle fiber space was enlarged, while the boundary between liver tissue cells was not obvious, the central vein was oppressed, mononuclear cells increased and parenchyma cells enlarged. It was observed that the body of the pathogen was mainly slightly pointed at the top, blunt and round at the back end of the body, and contained an obvious telescopic vesicle as well as a long flagellum. The pathogen was identified as Pseudocohnilembus persalinus by morphology. Taken together, the histopathological results showed that the Scuticociliatida ciliates could infect the body surface tissue of L.crocea, resulting in loss of protection and resistance. At the same time, this study can provide a certain reference basis for indoor healthy culture of L.crocea.

    Dissolved oxygen is an important environmental factor that affects the growth of aquatic organisms and water environment. Accurate prediction of dissolved oxygen is beneficial to the healthy development of aquaculture. This study was based on the water quality data and meteorological data of online buoys SK11 and SK18 in Shuikou reservoir area of Minjiang River in Fujian from January to June, 2022. Then, back propagation(BP) neural network prediction model and MIC-BP neural network measurement model were used for machine learning, and the prediction results are given. At the same time, the prediction results of the two dissolved oxygen prediction models were compared and verified. The results showed that after the identification and screening of MIC (Maximum information coefficient), among the 13 input factors, the factors that had great correlation with dissolved oxygen include pH, water temperature, chlorophyll, electrical conductivity, turbidity, ammonia nitrogen concentration and nitrite nitrogen concentration. The effect of the mixed MIC-BP neural network model was obviously better than that of the independent BP neural network model. After the candidate factors were identified and screened by MIC, the performance of the model could be obviously improved. Compared with the independent BP neural network model, the results showed that the performance of MIC-BP neural network model at SK11 station decreased by 29.29%, RMSE decreased by 60.09%,and NSE increased by 27.63%,respectively. At station SK18, MAE decreased by 17.16%, RMSE decreased by 16.23%, and NSE increased by 12.77%,respectively.

    In order to investigate the potential ecological risks of heavy metals at cage farming in surface sediments, 5 samples were collected from Zhanghu reservoir bay in Shuikou reservoir and the acid volatile sulfide (AVS) and simultaneously extracted metals (SEM) were studied. The results indicated that the AVS concentrations ranged from 0.57-2.13 μmol·g-1, and the SEM concentrations ranged from 1.66-6.35 μmol·g-1. Among heavy metals, Zn, Cr and Cu were the dominating metals, accounting for over 80% of SEM. By comparing the ratio of SEM to AVS, the values of annual average were ranged from 1.65-9.11. If Cr was not included in the calculation, the values were ranged from 1.42-7.75, and the value of (SEM-AVS) were mainly smaller than 5. These indicated that heavy metals were associated with the AVS phase in the sediments, while metals in surface sediments could not cause toxicity to benthic organism. Compared with the threshold of toxic effects, the most toxic metal was Pb in terms of individual heavy metals. According to the present study, the potential toxic effects of heavy metal release and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production from sulfides on cage aquaculture should be on the alert.

    In order to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of cold-water fish culture industry, and to ensure consumers’ clear consumption and strengthen the market supervision, it is necessary to find an effective method for species identification of salmon and trout. In this study, cytochrome oxidase I gene (COⅠ) was used to develop a simple, economical and efficient molecular identification method, aiming at identifying O.mykiss. The results showed that COⅠ gene could distinguish diploid rainbow trout, Salmo salar, Oncorhynchus keta and Coregonus peled, but could not distinguish golden trout and triploid rainbow trout. In the follow-up study, we will try to identify related species according to other methods. In production practice, this method could provide a gene tag to identify O.mykiss, and provide technical support for its species identification and healthy development of industry.

    In order to develop high quality scallop mince products, this paper took frozen Argopecten irradians scallops as the raw material, and selects soybean isolate protein, hydroxypropyl cassava starch, carrageenan, and egg albumen to be added to the A.irradians mince, which explored the effects of exogenous additives on the gelatinization characteristics and nutritional quality of A.irradians mince.The results showed that 5% soybean isolate protein (Group B) and hydroxypropyl cassava starch (Group C) were effective in improving the textural properties when added to A.irradians mince respectively, and the latter was able to significantly improve the water-holding capacity of A.irradians mince products, but 8% egg albumen (Group D) or 0.6% carrageenan (Group E) decreased the hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and water-holding capacity of A.irradians mince. The combination of exogenous additives (Group F: 7% hydroxypropyl tapioca starch, 1.0% carrageenan,Group G: 8% hydroxypropyl cassava starch+1.5% carrageenan+5% egg albumen+4% soybean isolate protein) had a lesser effect on the fabrication structure of the A.irradians mince and was able to improve the water-holding capacity. Group F A.irradians mince products had higher sensory ratings in terms of flavor, color and histomorphology. The A.irradians mince products from groups C, F and G all had superior amino acid and fatty acid ratios, with significant differences in amino acid composition, and significantly higher unsaturated fatty acid contents than saturated fatty acids. The content of EPA+DHA accounted for 45.04%, 44.74% and 30.87% of the total fatty acids, separately. It could be seen that the type and proportion of exogenous additives significantly affect the gelatinization behavior and nutritional quality of minced scallop meat in A.irradians, providing theoretical data for the subsequent development of scallop mince products with different textural structures and cost levels.

    Over the past few years, the issue of Cyanobacteria bloom pollution has escalated due to the combined impacts of global warming and eutrophication in aquatic systems. This has resulted in the release of toxic microcystins (MCs), posing a significant threat to human health and aquatic ecosystems. Effectively controlling and eliminating MCs from water bodies is a pressing global challenge. Fortunately, prior research has demonstrated that microbial degradation of MCs presents an efficient and environmentally friendly solution. This review explores the production, structure, and toxicity of MCs, with a focus on summarizing global advancements in enzymatic degradation pathways, degradation enzymes, and degradation genes associated with MCs. Additionally, it also analyzes the potential applications of microbial degradation bacteria in the ecological restoration of water bodies. Furthermore, the paper delves into future research directions, including alternative pathways for non-mlr-mediated MCs degradation mechanisms, optimizing the expression of MCs-degrading enzymes, and constructing highly efficient dual-functional degradation bacteria. These perspectives aim to deepen human’s understanding of microbial degradation mechanisms of MCs and provide innovative solutions to address the global challenge of MCs contamination in water bodies.

    Understanding the distribution characteristics of X.gladius can provide scientific basis for studying the habitat ecology of X.gladius,resource conservation and improving longline fishing gear.This paper highlights the results of domestic and international research on factors influencing the distribution and longline catch per unit effort (CPUE) of X.gladius,as well as the problems and proposes countermeasures to be taken for further research in the future.The results show that:1) X.gladius perform diurnal vertical movements,with a U-shaped movement pattern according to the changes of dissolved oxygen content in water layer,and generally distribute in the corresponding depth of 8.5-13.3 °C during the day and 23.6-26.2 °C during the night;2) X.gladius migrate to tropical waters for spawning and overwintering,and migrate to temperate waters for feeding; 3) X.gladius congregate in frontal areas and eddy fields;4) moonlight illumination affects the vertical movements of X.gladius,and moon phase may also be related to X.gladius spawning behavior;5) the catch rate of X.gladius in monofilament longline fishing is higher than that in polyfilament longline fishing,and the soaking time is positively correlated with the CPUE of X.gladius; 6) fluorescent rods in fishing gear can improve X.gladius CPUE,and the soaking time of fluorescent rods is positively correlated with X.gladius CPUE.The main shortcomings of the previous studies include:1) insufficient research on the relationship between climatic changes and the habitat change of X.gladius;2) less quantitative research on the effect of lunar illumination on X.gladius activity and the results are not robust;3) insufficient research on the effects of different hook types,hook offset and baits on X.gladius CPUE.The following issues are suggested for future research:1) increasing the testing experiments of TDR and CTD to study the effects of temperature,salinity,chlorophyll a and dissolved oxygen concentrations in different water layers on X.gladius distribution;2) using historical catch statistics and satellite remote sensing data to study the relationship between X.gladius distribution and marine environment in combination with changes in ocean monsoon and trade winds to find out the specific effects of climate change on X.gladius distribution;3) using illuminance meters to measure the illuminance of moonlight and quantitatively study the effects of monthly illuminance of moonlight on the vertical movements of X.gladius and their bait organisms and the spawning behavior of X.gladius; 4) further studying the effects of different hook types,hook offset and different baits on X.gladius CPUE.

    Microplastic pollution is widespread worldwide and can enter organisms by ingestion or inhalation.In this study,an experimental group (with microplastics) and a control group (no microplastics detected) were set up,and a non-targeted metabolomic analysis was performed on K.pelamis muscle tissue from the Eastern Pacific Ocean using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to investigate the potential effects of microplastic contamination on their metabolites.The results showed that a total of 34 metabolites were significantly different,of which 19 differential metabolites were up-regulated and 15 differential metabolites were down-regulated.The differential metabolite analysis showed that methylmalonic acid and propionic acid were up-regulated to induce neurological disorders and may be responsible for the abnormal swimming pattern of K.pelamis.The metabolite content of 20-hydroxyarachidonic acid in the metabolites of K.pelamis muscle tissue was significantly upregulated (P=0.003) and the difference multiplier was 6.002-folds.Arachidonic acid metabolism was closely related to hepatic disorders of glycolipid metabolism and its abnormal metabolism may affect disorders of glycolipid metabolism.Malic acid downregulation might put K.pelamis at risk of bacterial infection.In contrast,glycerol-3-phosphate,creatine phosphate and hydroxy cumene glycosides were up-regulated as a self-protective mechanism for K.pelamis in response to microplastic accumulation.Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis showed that different metabolites were mainly enriched in metabolism,bile secretion,propionate metabolism,proximal tubular bicarbonate recycling,ethylbenzene degradation,glycerophospholipid metabolism,and cholesterol metabolism.Among them,cholesterol metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism were involved in building biofilms and maintaining the basic life activities of the organism;while ethylbenzene degradation and propionate metabolism were used to alleviate toxicity in vivo;and proximal tubular bicarbonate recycling was responsible for mediating blood pH.The results of the study provided some reference significance for the toxicology of microplastic pollution on marine fish.

    To investigate the morphological differences between male and female E.oxycephala, and improve the breeding efficiency, principal component analysis, R-cluster analysis, stepwise discriminant analysis and T-test were used to analyze 17 direct-measured characteristics and 14 standardized characteristics of 60 wild individuals. The T-test showed that there was a significant difference in size between male and female E.oxycephala individuals, however there was no significant difference in plumpness between male and female individuals. The result of principal component analysis showed that the contribution percentage of the three extracted principal components were 66.989%, 7.803% and 4.901%, respectively, and the cumulative contribution rates reached 79.693%. Standardized characteristics with significant differences of E.oxycephala between male and female populations were selected by R-cluster analysis and stepwise discriminant analysis to establish the sex discriminant equation. The equation was as follows,male:F1=-63.908X1+626.425X2+2 298.275X3+173.546X4 -55.640X5-239.618,female:F2=68.365X1+510.204X2+1 936.135X3+150.444X4 +48.164X5-204.308. The comprehensive discrimination accuracy of male and female individuals was 98.3%. To verify the accuracy of sex discriminant equation, the morphological character data of extra 23 wild E.oxycephala were substituted into the sex discriminant equation, and the comprehensive discriminant accuracy was 82.6%.

    This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of immune enhancer chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) on non-specific immunity of E.sinensis. A total of 45 crabs (20±2) g with intact appendages and uniform individuals were selected for the experiments, and they were randomly divided into three groups, with fifteen crabs in each group. Each crab was injected with 0.1 mL of COS at concentrations of 0 (control group), 50 and 200 μg·mL-1, respectively. Serum and blood lymphocytes were collected 24 hours later to analyze the changes in immune enzyme activity and immune genes, etc. The results showed that compared with the control group, COS treatment significantly increased the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and lysozyme in the serum of crab, significantly increased the content of nitric oxide, and decreased the content of malondialdehyde in serum. Quantitative real-time PCR results showed that compared with the control group, COS significantly increased the expression of EsToll1, EsToll2, EsMyD88, EsTube, EsPelle and EsDorsal in the Toll signaling pathway, and up-regulated the expression of anti-lipopolysaccharide factors EsALF and EsALF3. These results suggested that COS could improve the non-specific immunity and antioxidant capacity of E.sinensis, activate the Toll signaling pathway, and promote the expression of anti-lipopolysaccharide factors. This study provided theoretical support for the application of COS in E.sinensis.

    To figure out the different nutritional quality of S.scherzeri muscle from different habitats, this study determined and compared the nutritional compositions, as well as fatty acids composition and content of S.scherzeri. The results showed that there was significantly higher crude fat content in the muscle of S.scherzeri in upstream area than that in the muscle of S.scherzeri in downstream area (P<0.05), without significance in content of moisture, crude protein and ash between these two groups (P>0.05). There are 16 kinds of fatty acids in the muscle of S.scherzeri in upstream area and 17 in downstream area. The saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids occupied 35.886%, 34.184% and 29.922% in the muscle of S.scherzeri in upstream area, occupied 34.913%, 34.895% and 30.181% in the muscle of S.scherzeri in downstream area, respectively. And for the composition of fatty acid, the essential fatty acid occupied 11.735%, the ratio of ω-6/ω-3 was 0.919,EPA and DHA was 11.672% in the muscle of S.scherzeri in upstream area. The essential fatty acid occupied 9.571%, the ratio of ω-6/ω-3 was 0.781,EPA and DHA was 12.939% in the muscle of S.scherzeri in downstream area. In conclusion,the nutritive value of fatty acid in the muscle of S.scherzeri in upstream area was better than that of S.scherzeri in downstream area.

    The microsatellite sequences were obtained using a simple sequence repeats (SSR) development method without needing a reference genome and were genotyped through sequencing. The ebwt2InDel software was utilized to identify Insertion/Deletion (InDel)-containing sequences from the whole genome sequencing data of two samples. Using MISA software, 111 perfect SSR-containing sequences were obtained from the InDel-containing sequences by eliminating non-SSR-containing sequences. The SSRgenotyper software was then used to analyze the polymorphism of 30 M.nipponrnse samples, successfully genotyping 19 out of the 111 SSR-containing sequences with a genotyping success rate of 17.12%. Successful genotyping was achieved at 19 SSR loci, all exhibiting 3-base repeats ranging from 4 to 6. Among them, the highest proportion of repetitive sequences was observed with the ATC/ATG unit, accounting for six loci (31.58%). Two of the 19 SSR markers had low polymorphism information content, and 17 had moderate polymorphism information content. These 19 microsatellite markers helped to evaluate the genetic parameters of freshwater shrimp populations and develop freshwater shrimp germplasm resources.
