Genetic diversity and population structure of the Asian yellow pond turtle (Mauremys mutica)

To investigate the genetic diversity and structure of farmed Asian yellow pond turtle ( Mauremys mutica ), we performed whole-genome resequencing on 180 individuals collected from eight farms spanning six regions in China. A total of 2072,663,419 single nucleotide polymorphisms (...

Arachidonic Acid Enhances Reproductive Performance and Oocyte Quality of Female Blotched Snakehead (Channa maculata) via Activation of the TGF-β/Smad Signaling Pathway

Arachidonic acid (ARA) is an indispensable fatty acid for aquatic organisms, playing critical roles in reproductive physiology. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of graded dietary ARA levels on the reproductive performance, tissue fatty acid profiles, plasma sex hormone an...

Freshwater Aquaculture Dynamics in China’s Jianghan Plain Revealed by Multi-Source Satellite Imagery

The Jianghan Plain is one of the important freshwater aquaculture regions in China. Accurate information on the spatial distribution and spatiotemporal dynamics of aquaculture ponds is essential for regional ecological management. However, large-scale and accurate identification...

A total infectome framework for resolving complex disease etiology in aquaculture

Traditional pathogen isolation can establish disease causality but often fails in complex infections involving unknown or multiple microbial backgrounds, whereas metatranscriptomics comprehensively captures the total infectome without directly resolving the primary etiological ag...
