Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Aquatic animals could provide high-quality protein and fat for humans. However, there are two key problems which need to be resolved: Firstly, the mechanism of the glycolipid metabolism is unclear and the precise nutrition demand parameters are lacking. Secondly, fish meal and oil production for the diets of aquatic animals have been found to be insufficient, including the production of high-fat and high-carbohydrate diets as substitutes to save fish meal and oil for economic reasons. These two diets also have detrimental effects on the metabolism, physiology and health of aquatic animals, which have been characterized by dyslipidemia, impaired liver and intestinal structure and function (gut–liver axis dysfunction), poor meat quality, insufficient immunity and stress tolerance, lower antioxidant capability,  decreased growth performance and higher mortality. Therefore, researchers must explore the mechanisms clearly and seek suitable therapies to alleviate these harmful symptoms.

This Special Issue of Metabolites aims to publish high-quality original research articles and reviews containing following topics: 1) exploration of the regulatory metabolisms of key regulatory elements and signal pathways; 2) analysis of the cooperation of glucose and the lipid metabolism; 3) revelations regarding the metabolic characteristics of the glycolipid metabolism in different aquatic animals; 4) investigation of the deep mechanisms of the two high-energy diets regarding the ways in which they have detrimental effects to physiology, metabolism and health; 5) explorations of the nutritional regulation strategies for improving the glycolipid metabolism and health under normal conditions or high-energy feeding; 6) creating or using novel detecting and/or data analysis tools to help solve the above five problems.

The development of an exceptionally sensitive diagnostic technique for early identification of aquaculture diseases, specifically Aeromonas hydrophila, is essential for efficient management of disease outbreaks at aquaculture locations. In this research, a swift and sensitive diagnostic assay employing Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of Aeromonas hydrophila was devised and compared to the conventional qPCR method documented by Rong Wang. Validation of the diagnostic assay was carried out using actual samples obtained from aquaculture fish. The findings revealed that based on the rapid detection of crude bacterial genomic DNA, the fluorescent LAMP assay possessed a lower limit of detection (LOD) of 0.559 ng/μL (0.315–1.693, 95% CI), while the LOD for qPCR stood at 4.301 ng/μL (2.084–8.876, 95% CI). Both techniques demonstrated outstanding specificity, exhibiting no cross-reactivity with bacteria from the same or closely related genera. A total of 74 fish samples suspected to be infected with the fish disease were gathered, with 26 and 23 samples testing positive for Aeromonas hydrophila via LAMP and qPCR, respectively. The concordance analysis for LAMP and qPCR methods generated a Kappa value of 0.909 (0.778–1.000, 95% CI), signifying a high degree of diagnostic consensus. This study highlights that the LAMP assay eliminates the thermal cycle temperature change process of qPCR, uses lysate to crudely extract bacterial genomic DNA, and can complete the detection within 40 min, rendering it a practical and efficient alternative for monitoring disease outbreaks at aquaculture sites.

Triploid rainbow trout can adapt to various dietary lipid levels; however, the mechanisms of systematic adaptation are not well understood. To investigate how adult triploid rainbow trout maintains lipid hemostasis under different exogenous lipid intake, a 77-day feeding trial was conducted. Diets with lipid contents of 20%, 25%, and 30% were formulated and fed to triploid rainbow trout with an initial weight of 3 ± 0.02 kg, and they were named L20, L25, and L30 group, respectively. Results showed that the condition factor, hepatosomatic index, liver color, and plasma triglyceride were comparable among three groups (p > 0.05), whereas the value of specific growth rate, viscerosomatic index, and liver glycogen content gradually increased with increasing dietary lipid level (p < 0.05). A significantly highest value of plasma glucose and nonesterified fatty acids were found in the L30 group (p < 0.05), whereas the significantly higher content of plasma total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein–cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein–cholesterol was found in the L25 group compared with those in L20 group (p < 0.05). As for lipid deposition, abdominal adipose tissue, and muscle were the main lipid storage place for triploid rainbow trout when tissues’ weight is taken into consideration. Overall quantitative PCR showed that the lipid transport and glycolysis were upregulated, and fatty acids oxidative was downregulated in liver when fish were fed low lipid diets. It meant that the liver was the primary lipid metabolizing organ to low lipid diet feeding, which could switch energy supply between glycolysis and fatty acids oxidation. Fish fed with a moderate dietary lipid level diet could increase lipid uptake and promote lipogenesis in muscle. Abdominal adipose tissue could efficiently uptake excess exogenous free fatty acid through upregulating fatty acid uptake and synthesis de novo and then storing it in the form of triglyceride. Excess lipid uptake is preferentially stored in abdominal adipose tissue through coordinated fatty acid uptake and fatty acid synthesis de novo as dietary lipid levels increased. In summary, triploid rainbow trout can adapt to various dietary lipid levels by coordinating metabolism in different tissues. Full article
