Pampus is a widespread species of fish in the western Pacific and Indian Oceans that has significant commercial worth. Its evolutionary history and phylogenetics are still poorly understood, and details on its intraspecific taxonomy are debatable, despite some morphological and molecular research. Here, we analyzed this species using skeletal struc...

Silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus) is among the highly favored marine edible fishes in China. To determine whether sustained advancements can be realized and to assess the genetic parameters of P. argenteus across three generations. Measurements of growth traits were conducted in the control and breeding groups of third-generation P. argenteus at 60...

Simple Summary The phylogenetic status and evolutionary history of Pseudogasteromyzon species based on complete mitogenomes has not been fully established. This study presents an exploration of the features, structures, and the significant implications of mitochondrial genomes in Pseudogasteromyzon species. The total length of the 11 mitogenome seq...

Annual variation of gonad development and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to help understand the law of gonad development and the level of gonadotropin of cultured Pampus argenteus. The results showed that breeding P. argenteus’ ovary reached stage V -in April while the testis developed faster. GSI of females differed from 0...

Pampus argenteus is important for commercial fishery catch species and is an emerging target for aquaculture production. Notably, P. argenteus has a bizarre morphology and lacks pelvic fins. However, the reason for the lack of pelvic fins remains unclear, ultimately leading to frequent upside-down floating of P. argenteus during breeding and marked...

Introduction Mitogenomes are frequently used in the study of fish phylogenetic and evolutionary studies. However, there is currently no information available regarding the evolution history of Osteochilus salsburyi. To address this gap, an experiment was designed to gain a deeper understanding of this species. Methods Here, we analyzed the mitocho...

To investigate lipoprotein lipase (LPL) genes in lipid metabolism and their functional relationship, as well as the relationship between LPL mRNA expression and muscle and liver fat accumulation in different growth stages. Full-length cDNA sequences encoding LPL were obtained from Pampus argenteus by homologous clone and RACE methods. The sequence...

The pharyngeal sac is a comparatively rare organ in the digestive tract among teleost fishes. However, our understanding of this remarkable organ in the silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus) is limited. In the present study, we examined the various morphological and histological characteristics of the pharyngeal sac using histochemical techniques and e...

Silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus) is one of the most important fishery products in the Indo‐Pacific Ocean. Nonetheless, little is known about the genetic parameters of economic traits. To determine whether the selective breeding programme would improve economic traits, the authors evaluated the growth performance of the selected group and the contr...
Article
The gene FoxO plays an important role in regulating individual growth and development, cell survival, and senescence, mainly through transcriptional regulation and the signal transduction pathway. In this study, the full-length cDNA sequence of the FoxO gene was cloned from Daphnia pulex. FoxO was silenced by RNA interference. The expression levels...

Background Silver pomfret ( Pampus argenteus ) is one of the most widely distributed and economically important pelagic fish species. However, an unique morphological feature of P. argenteus is the loss of pelvic fins, which can increase the energy requirement during food capture to some extent and is therefore not conducive to artificial culture....

Silver pomfret (Pampus argenteus) is an economically important mariculture species. However, little is known about the genetic parameters of its commercially important traits. In order to determine whether continuous progress can be achieved by selection for growth, we took the body weight trait of East China Sea P. argenteus as the target trait of...

The complete mitochondrial genome can provide novel insights into understanding the mechanism underlying mitogenome evolution. In the present study, the whole mitochondrial genome of Rhynchocypris oxycephalus was determined to 16608 bp (GenBank accession No: MW057563), including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA gene...

... Optimal codons were identified using the ∆RSCU method [41,42]. To achieve this, the PCGs with the top 5% highest and lowest ENC values were selected as the high ENC and low ENC groups, respectively. ...
... It is widely distributed in the coastal seas of Southeast Asia and the Middle East (Mohamadi Yalsuyi & Forouhar Vajargah, 2017;Parsamanesh et al., 1998). For nearly a decade, P. argenteus has been considered a high farming potential marine fish species in aquaculture owing to its fast growth rate and high nutritional value, and its artificial propagation and selective breeding have been extensively studied (Al-Abdul-Elah et al., 2021;Huang et al., 2022;Zhang et al., 2022). However, alongside the rapid development of the aquaculture of farmed P. argenteus, disease problem has become a great concern during the past years, which resulted in considerable economic losses and posed a significant threat to the sustainable development of the industry (Azad et al., 2012;Duremdez et al., 2004;Ni et al., 2020;Tao et al., 2018;Zhang et al., 2021). ...
... On the other hand, the cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis-related pathways (hippo, FoxO, ECM-receptor interaction, and MAPK signaling pathways) and related to neuronal development such as Wnt signaling pathways were inhibited under fish kairomone exposure in only genotype KB11, which mature late and have decreased body size (Table S8). All these signaling pathways are involved in the regulation of embryonic development [67][68][69]. Hence, the disrupted regulation of these pathways could have detrimental impacts on embryonic development, potentially linking it to the impaired growth of genotype KB11 when exposed to fish kairomones. ...
... Pampus argenteus is widely distributed in the Indian Ocean, North Sea, Oman Sea, and Persian Gulf, as well as from the Bohai Sea to the South China Sea in China [1][2][3]. P. argenteus is a commercially important fish in the aquaculture industry worldwide, and its artificial breeding technique has been studied in many countries [4,5]. With the breakthrough of P. argenteus aquaculture technology, artificial cultivation is gradually moving towards large-scale farming. ...
... In the 11 Pseudogastromyzon mitogenomes, the arrangement of tRNAs on both the heavy and light strands remained consistent, encompassing 14 tRNAs encoded on the H-strand and 8 tRNAs on the L-strand. This distribution pattern is a prevalent feature in many fish mitogenomes, akin to Rasbora tornieri [43], Osteochilus salsburyi [10], and Rhynchocypris oxycephalus [44]. Among the 22 tRNAs, the arrangement order of these genes was the same as that of vertebrate [7], and 21 tRNAs could be folded into the typical clover-leaf secondary structures, except for the trnS1 gene lacking dihydrouracil arms. ...
