AbstractThis study evaluated the effects of adding Sophora flavescens ethanol extract to high soybean meal feed (soybean meal replaced 50% fish meal protein) on growth, antioxidant status, and immune response in pearl gentian grouper. The fish (72.5 ± 0.5 g) were randomly divided into three groups: the fish meal group (the FM group), the soybean meal group (the SBM group), and the SBM + 0.2% S. flavescens ethanol extract group (the SBMSF group).

AbstractThe vitellogenin present in the bloodstream undergoes internalization into developing oocytes through the vitellogenin receptor (VgR), a process mediated by receptor-mediated endocytosis. VgR plays a crucial role in facilitating the accumulation of vitellogenin and the maturation of oocytes.

AbstractInadequate gonadal maturation and poor spawning performance increasingly threaten the sustainability of shrimp aquaculture. Unraveling the mechanisms regulating ovarian development and maturation hence is critical to address industry challenges. Vitellogenin (Vtg), a precursor of yolk protein found in the hepatopancreas and ovary of shrimp, plays a key role in facilitating shrimp’s oocyte maturation and embryonic development after oviposition.

IntroductionBiodiversity, including taxonomic diversity, phylogenetic diversity and functional diversity in a broad sense (Noss, 1990; Ricklefs and Miller, 2000; Krebs, 2014), is critical in maintaining the stability and resilience of ecosystem functions (Oliver et al., 2015; Xu Q. et al., 2021), meanwhile providing human beings with multiple ecosystem services (Barbier et al., 2011). However, global biodiversity has been reduced throughout human history (Cardinale et al., 2012).
