Abstract
Hemocyanin is the main respiratory protein of arthropods and is formed by hexameric and/or oligomeric subunits. Due to changes in the living environment and gene rearrangement, various hemocyanin subtypes and subunits evolved in crustaceans. This paper reviews the various hemocyanin subtypes and isoforms in shrimp and analyses published genomic data of sixteen hemocyanin family genes from Litopenaeus vannamei to explore the evolution of hemocyanin genes, subunits, and protein structure. Analysis of hemocyanin subtypes distribution and structure in various tissues was also performed and related to multiple and tissue-specific functions, i.e., immunological activity, immune signaling, phenoloxidase activity, modulation of microbiota homeostasis, and energy metabolism. The functional diversity of shrimp hemocyanin due to molecular polymorphism, transcriptional regulation, alternative splicing, degradation into functional peptides, interaction with other proteins or genes, and structural differences will also be highlighted for future research. Inferences would be drawn from other crustaceans to explain how evolution has changed the structure-function of hemocyanin and its implication for evolutionary research into the multifunctionality of hemocyanin and other related proteins in shrimp.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Water-free transportation (WFT), as a novel strategy for express delivery of live shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), was developed recently. However, air exposure during this transportation arouses a series of abiotic stress to the shrimp. In the present study, the influences of WFT stress on glycolysis and lipolysis metabolism and meat quality (umami flavor and drip loss) were investigated in comparison with conventional water transportation (WT). RESULTS The results showed that type II muscle fibers with the feature of anaerobic metabolism were dominated in shrimp flesh. In addition, the increments of intracellular Ca2+ was detected in WFT and WT, which then activated the AMP-activated protein kinase pathway and promoted the consumption of glycogen, as well as the accumulation of lactate and lipolysis, under the enzymolysis of hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and adipose triglyceride lipase. Glycogen glycolyzed to latate. Meanwhile, ATP degraded along with glycolysis resulting in the generation of ATP-related adenosine phosphates such as inosine monophosphate with umami flavor and phosphoric acid. More remarkable (P < 0.05) physiological changes (except lactate dehydrogenase and lactate) were observed in WFT compared to WT. Additionally, the fatty acid profile also slightly changed. CONCLUSION The transport stress induced significant energy metabolism changes of shrimp flesh and therefore effected the flesh quality. The intensifications of freshness (K-value) of shrimp flesh were detected as a result of ATP degradation, which were more pronounced after WFT. However, the drip loss of shrimp flesh was more significantly increased (P < 0.05) after WFT compared to WT. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Agricultural and anthropogenic activities release high ammonia levels into aquatic ecosystems, severely affecting aquatic organisms. Penaeid shrimp can survive high ammonia stress conditions, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are unknown. Here, total hemocyanin and oxyhemocyanin levels decreased in Penaeus vannamei plasma under high ammonia stress. When shrimp were subjected to high ammonia stress for 12 h, 24 hemocyanin (HMC) derived peptides were identified in shrimp plasma, among which one peptide, designated as HMCs27, was chosen for further analysis. Shrimp survival was significantly enhanced after treatment with the recombinant protein of HMCs27 (rHMCs27), followed by high ammonia stress. Transcriptome analysis of shrimp hepatopancreas after treatment with or without rHMCs27 followed by high ammonia stress revealed 973 significantly dysregulated genes, notable among which were genes involved in oxidation and metabolism, such as cytochrome C, catalase (CAT), isocitrate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), trypsin, chymotrypsin, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione s-transferase (GST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). In addition, levels of key biochemical indicators, such as SOD, CAT, and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), were significantly enhanced, whereas hepatopancreas malondialdehyde levels and plasma pH, NH3, GST, and ALT levels were significantly decreased after rHMCs27 treatment followed by high ammonia stress. Moreover, high ammonia stress induced hepatopancreas tissue injury and apoptosis, but rHMCs27 treatment ameliorated these effects. Collectively, the current study revealed that in response to high ammonia stress, shrimp generate functional peptides, such as peptide HMCs27 from hemocyanin, which helps to attenuate the ammonia toxicity by enhancing the antioxidant system and the tricarboxylic acid cycle to decrease plasma NH3 levels and pH.

Abstract
Ammonia is the primary environmental factor affecting the growth and health of crustaceans. It would induce oxidative stress and metabolic disorders. Extra amount of energy was demanded to maintain the physiological functions under ammonia stress. However, limited information was available on its effects on the main nutrient metabolism, as well as the nutrient sensing signaling pathways. In the present study, shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei were exposed to acute ammonia stress and injected with amino acid solution. The results showed that acute ammonia exposure resulted in lower free amino acid levels in hemolymph, incomplete activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling and cascaded less protein synthesis in muscle. It induced autophagy and activated the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway. Meanwhile, ammonia exposure enhanced glycolysis and lipogenesis, but inhibited lipolysis. The results characterized the integrated metabolic responses and nutrient signaling to ammonia stress. It provides critical clues to understand the growth performance and physiological responses in shrimp under ammonia stress.

Abstract
In shrimp, hemocytes play an important role in detoxification and immune defense, and are where nitrite accumulates during exposure to this toxic environmental pollutant. However, the heterogeneity mechanisms of toxicity have not been reported under nitrite expose in shrimp. Here, we used single-cell RNA-seq to resolve 24,000 cells, which the responses of different cell populations of hemocytes under nitrite exposure in Penaeus vannamei. We identified 394 specific nitrite-responsive genes in 9 clusters of hemocytes, and found heterogeneity in the nitrite response of the three subpopulations of hemocytes (hyaline, semi-granular and granular cells). In hyaline, the response appeared modest, whereas nitrite-related dysregulation of metabolic processes in granular and semi-granular was pronounced. Ammonia nitrogen will rapidly accumulate in hemocytes of shrimp under nitrite stress. In semi-granular, excessive ammonia will interfere with oxidative phosphorylation and antioxidant system, thus inducing the production of reactive oxygen species. In granular, the abnormality of urea cycle caused by ammonia accumulation is the main toxic factor, which by inhibits arginase and arginine kinase. Collectively, our data provide a single-cell atlas for the dissection of shrimp hemocyte complexity, and reveal the toxicity mechanisms associated with nitrite exposure.

Abstract
Ginkgo biloba leaf extract (GBE) has been extensively used in the treatment of diseases due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects. In aquaculture, GBE is widely used as a feed additive, which is important to enhance the immunity of aquatic animals. The current study evaluated the effects of adding GBE to the diet of Penaeus vannamei (P. vannamei) under intensive aquaculture. The GBE0 (control group), GBE1, GBE2, and GBE4 groups were fed a commercial feed supplemented with 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 g/kg GBE for 21 days, respectively. The results showed that dietary GBE could alleviate hepatopancreas tissue damage and improve the survival rate of shrimp, and dietary 2 g/kg GBE could significantly increase the total hemocyte count (THC), the hemocyanin content, the antioxidant gene's expression, and the activity of their encoded enzymes in P. vannamei. Furthermore, transcriptome data revealed that immunity-related genes were upregulated in the GBE2 group compared with the GBE0 group after 21 days of culture. Drug metabolism-cytochrome P450, sphingolipid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, fat digestion and protein digestion and absorption pathways were significantly enriched, according to KEGG results. Surprisingly, all of the above KEGG-enriched pathways were significantly upregulated. These findings demonstrated that supplementing P. vannamei with 2 g/kg GBE improved its environmental adaptability by improving immunity, lipid metabolism, and detoxification. In this study, a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of dietary GBE on the intensive aquaculture of P. vannamei was conducted to provide a reference for the healthy culture of P. vannamei.

Abstract
To further explore the response mechanism of microorganisms to the synchronous control of nitrogen and phosphorus release from sediments by CaO2, the spatiotemporal changes in the physical, chemical and biological indicators of the overlying water, interstitial water and sediments in each reactor were measured in the experiment. The experiment results showed that CaO2 could increase the ammonia monooxygenase activity, nitrite oxidase activity and Nitrospira abundance in the sediment near its dosing position, and enhanced the activities of nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase at a certain distance from the dosing position, thereby promoting nitrogen removal in sediments through the alternating process of nitrification and denitrification. At the same time, the increase of alkaline phosphatase activity and Saccharimonadales abundance in the test groups accelerated the hydrolysis of organic phosphorus, and the P immobilization in sediments was realized through the subsequent precipitation reaction of Ca2+ and PO43- under alkaline conditions. In addition, the enhanced activities of dehydrogenase and catalase ensured that CaO2 would not cause great killing effect on microorganisms when improving the hypoxic conditions and inhibiting endogenous release. As a result, the dissolved product of CaO2 such as Ca(OH)2 and H2O2 reduced the nutrients concentration and killed the algae, which kept the algae density and chlorophyll a concentration at a low level throughout the test groups. Therefore, this study systematically clarified the microbial mechanism of CaO2 synchronously controlling the release of nitrogen and phosphorus from sediments, which provided a new idea for the remediation of endogenous pollution in the water system.

Abstract
The combined effects of emerging pollutants and ocean acidification (OA) on marine organisms and marine ecosystems have attracted increasing attention. However, the combined effects of tralopyril and OA on marine organisms and marine ecosystems remain unclear. In this study, Crassostrea gigas (C. gigas) were exposed to tralopyril (1 μg/L) and/or OA (PH = 7.7) for 21 days and a 14-day recovery acclimation. To investigate the stress response and potential molecular mechanisms of C. gigas to OA and tralopyril exposure alone or in combination, as well as the effects of OA and/or tralopyril on bivalve biomineralization and marine carbon cycling. The results showed that the combined toxicity was between that of acidification and tralopyril alone. Single or combined exposure activated the general stress defense responses of C. gigas mantle, affected energy metabolism and biomineralization of the organism and the carbon cycle of the marine ecosystem. Moreover, acidification-induced and tralopyril-induced toxicity showed potential recoverability at molecular and biochemical levels. This study provides a new perspective on the molecular mechanisms of tralopyril toxicity to bivalve shellfish and reveals the potential role of tralopyril and OA on marine carbon cycling.

Abstract
The present study investigated the effect of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meal (BSF) on haemolymph biochemical indicators, muscle metabolites as well as the lipid and glucose metabolism of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. Four diets were formulated in which the control diet contained 25 % of fishmeal (FM) and 10 % (BSF10), 20 % (BSF20), and 30 % (BSF30) of FM protein were replaced with BSF. Four hundred and eighty shrimp (0·88 ± 0·00 g) were distributed to four groups of three replicates and fed for 7 weeks. Results showed that growth performance of shrimp fed BSF30 significantly decreased compared with those fed FM, but there was no significant difference in survival among groups. The whole shrimp crude lipid content, haemolymph TAG and total cholesterol were decreased with the increasing BSF inclusion. The results of metabolomics showed that the metabolite patterns of shrimp fed different diets were altered, with significant changes in metabolites related to lipid metabolism, glucose metabolism as well as TCA cycle. The mRNA expressions of hk, pfk, pk, pepck, ampk, mcd, cpt-1 and scd1 in hepatopancreas were downregulated in shrimp fed BSF30, but mRNA expression of acc1 was upregulated. Unlike BSF30, the mRNA expressions of fas, cpt-1, fbp and 6pgd in hepatopancreas were upregulated in shrimp fed BSF20. This study indicates that BSF20 diet promoted lipid synthesis and lipolysis, while BSF30 diet weakened β-oxidation and glycolysis as well as affected the unsaturated fatty acids synthesis, which may affect the growth performance and body composition of shrimp.

Abstract
Anthropogenic factors and climate change have serious effects on the aquatic ecosystem and aquaculture. Among water pollutants, ammonia has the greatest impact on aquaculture organisms such as penaeid shrimp because it makes them more susceptible to infections. In this study, we explored the effects of ammonia stress (0, 50, 100, and 150 mg/L) on the molecular structure and functions of the multifunctional respiratory protein hemocyanin (HMC) in Penaeus vannamei. While the mRNA expression of Penaeus vannamei hemocyanin (PvHMC) was up-regulated after ammonia stress, both plasma hemocyanin protein and oxyhemocyanin (OxyHMC) levels decreased. Moreover, ammonia stress changed the molecular structure of hemocyanin, modulated the expression of protein phosphatase 2 A (PP2A) and casein kinase 2α (CK2α) to regulate the phosphorylation modification of hemocyanin, and enhanced its degradation into fragments by trypsin. Under moderate ammonia stress conditions, hemocyanin also undergoes glycosylation to improve its in vitro antibacterial activity and binding with Gram-negative (Vibrio parahaemolyticus) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria, albeit differently. The current findings indicate that P. vannamei hemocyanin undergoes adaptive molecular modifications under ammonia stress enabling the shrimp to survive and counteract the consequences of the stress.

Abstract
Given the decline of freshwater resources in recent years, the accessible space for freshwater aquaculture is rapidly shrinking, and aquaculture in saline-alkaline water has become a critical approach to meet the rising demand. However, the molecular mechanism behind the adverse effects of saline-alkaline water on fish and the regulatory mechanism in fish tolerance remains unclear. Here, adult crucian carp (Carassius auratus) were exposed to 60 mmol/L NaHCO3 for 30 days. It was observed that long-term carbonate alkalinity (CA) exposure not only caused gill oxidative stress but also changed the levels of several physiological parameters associated with ammonia transport, including blood ammonia, urea nitrogen (BUN), glutamine (Gln), and glutamine synthetase (GS). According to the metabolomics study, differential metabolites (DMs) engaged in various metabolic pathways, such as glycerophospholipid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, and arachidonic acid metabolism. In addition, transcriptomics data showed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were closely related to ammonia transport, apoptosis, and immunological response. In general, comprehensive multi-omics and biochemical analysis revealed that crucian carp might adopt Rh glycoprotein as a carrier to mediate ammonia transport and increase glutamine and urea synthesis under long-term high saline-alkaline stress to mitigate the adverse effects of blocked ammonia excretion. Simultaneously, saline-alkaline stress caused the destruction of the antioxidant system and the disorder of lipid metabolism in the crucian carp gills, which induced apoptosis and immunological response. To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate fish's molecular and metabolic mechanisms under saline-alkaline stress using integrated metabolomics, transcriptomics, and biochemical assays. Overall, the results of this study provided new insights into the molecular mechanism behind the adverse effects of saline-alkaline water on fish and the regulatory mechanism in fish tolerance.

Abstract
Numerous studies have proved that endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress is an important cause of aquatic animal diseases. Therefore, for effectively preventing and controlling aquatic animal diseases, a systematic and in-depth understanding of the environmental stress response in aquatic animals is necessary. In present study, the influence of ER-stress in Litopenaeus vannamei was investigated using Illumina HiSeq based RNA-Seq. Comparing to the cDNA library of hemocytes treated with DMSO in L. vannamei, 286 unigenes were significantly upregulated and 473 unigenes were significantly down-regulated in the Thapsigargin treated group. KEGG analysis indicated that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are mainly related to ER-stress, immune as well as metabolism. Besides the classical ER-stress response pathways, the regulation of cell cycle and DNA replication are also important measures of ER-stress response. It has been suggested that the influence of ER-stress on immune genes might be an important factor in environmental stress inducing shrimp disease. Our investigation exhibited that immune-related DEG Prophenoloxidase activating enzyme 2 (LvPPAE2) roled in anti-pathogen immunity of shrimp. This study provides a solid foundation for uncovering the environmental adaptation response and especially its relationship with L. vannamei immune system.

Abstract
Ammonia nitrogen is a major pollutant that causes great physiological harm to crustaceans in culture. In this study, we conducted a 28 day chronic ammonia nitrogen stress experiment with broodstock populations (Dianshan, DS) and hybrid offspring populations (DS ♀ × CD (Changjiang ♂ × Dongting ♀), SCD) exposed to 0, 1 and 10 mg/L of ammonia concentrations. A 28 day feeding trial and chronic ammonia nitrogen stress were used to investigate the effects on the growth performance, histological structure and lipid metabolism of juvenile shrimp, Macrobrachium nipponense. Our results indicated that survival rates in the SCD groups were significantly higher than those in the DS groups, whereas weight and length gain rates were not significantly different between the groups (p > 0.05). Histological structure results showed that the number of vacuoles in the DS group was significantly higher than that in the SCD group and hepatopancreas cell structures were disrupted in the ammonia treatment groups. The results of oil red staining showed that the number of lipid droplets increased significantly with the increase in ammonia concentration. As the ammonia concentration increased, fatty acid contents, lipid enzyme activities and lipid metabolism-related gene expression all tended to rise. In conclusion, ammonia nitrogen exposure caused damage to the hepatopancreas structure of juvenile shrimp and disturbed the lipid metabolism of the hepatopancreas. In addition, the SCD population had stronger stress resistance than the DS population when subjected to the same concentration of ammonia nitrogen stress.

Abstract
Nitrite stress is a major environmental factor that limits aquatic animal growth, reproduction and survival. Even so, some shrimps still can withstand somewhat high concentrations of nitrite environment. However, few studies have been conducted about the tolerance molecular mechanism of Litopenaeus vannamei in the high concentration nitrite. To identify the genes and pathways involved in the regulation of nitrite tolerance, we performed comparative transcriptomic analysis in the L. vannamei nitrite-tolerant (NT) and nitrite-sensitive (NS) families, and untreated shrimps were used as the control group. After 24 h of nitrite exposure (NaNO2, 112.5 mg/L), a total of 1521 and 868 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained from NT compared with NS and control group, respectively. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that most of these DEGs were involved in immune defense, energy metabolism processes and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. During nitrite stress, energy metabolism in NT was significantly enhanced by activating the related genes expression of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Meanwhile, some DEGs involved in innate immunity- related genes and pathways, and ER stress responses also were highly expressed in NT. Therefore, we speculate that accelerated energy metabolism, higher expression of immunity and ER related genes might be the important adaptive strategies for NT in relative to NS under nitrite stress. These results will provide new insights on the potential tolerant molecular mechanisms and the breeding of new varieties of nitrite tolerant L. vannamei.

Abstract
In order to realize the active and synchronous control of nitrogen (N) and organic matter (OM) release from sediments, this study compared the spatiotemporal changes in the physical, chemical, and biological indicators in the water system under different CaO2 dosing modes. Results from 90-day incubation experiment showed that CaO2 formed a dense barrier layer near its dosing position, improved the anoxic condition of water system, increased the physical adsorption of pollutants by sediments, and reduced the nutrients in overlying water, interstitial water, and sediments. Comprehensive comparison, the improvement effect of shallow injection group (I1) was the most obvious. Meanwhile, the activities of ammonia oxidizing bacteria and nitrite oxidizing bacteria near dosing position and those of denitrifiers and anammox bacteria adjacent to dosing site were significantly increased in all test groups (p < 0.01), thereby realizing the biological removal of N and OM in sediments. In addition, DO and ORP were steadily higher than 5 mg L-1 and 100 mV in I1, where the NH4+-N concentration in overlying water was stable below 1 mg L-1, and the easily released N content in the upper (0-3 cm) and middle (4-6 cm) sediments decreased by 41.64% and 43.56%, respectively. Compared with the large pollutant flux in control (14.31 TN mg m-2 d-1 and 194.05 mg TCOD m-2 d-1), I1 completely inhibited the pollutant release and reduced the original nutrients in overlying water. In general, CaO2 efficiently and synchronously controlled the endogenous release of N and OM under the combined actions of physical interception, physical adsorption, chemical oxidation, and biological transformation. Therefore, this study may provide valuable reference and guidance for the active and synchronous removal of N and OM in sediments and inhibition of endogenous pollutant release under anoxic condition.

Abstract
Ficus hirta Vahl. has been reported to have hepatoprotective, antitumor, antibacterial functions, and is used to treat severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Ammonia nitrogen is one of the most common environmental stress factors in aquaculture. Long-term exposure to high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen can induce oxidative stress and increase the risk of infections. However, whether Ficus hirta Vahl. has effect on ammonia nitrogen stress is unclear. In present study we report that Ficus hirta Vahl. improves the activity of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) of shrimp and decreases shrimp mortality caused by ammonia nitrogen stress. It is demonstrated that miR-2765 is negatively regulate the antioxidant capacity. We find that SOD was a direct target gene of miR-2765. MiR-2765 can bind to 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of SOD to inhibit its transcription. Furthermore, Ficus hirta Vahl. down-regulates miR-2765 to activate the antioxidant capacity to alleviate the damage caused by ammonia nitrogen stress. Interestingly, overexpression of miR-2765 could attenuate the protective effect of Ficus hirta Vahl. on shrimp under ammonia nitrogen stress. These data indicate that Ficus hirta Vahl. alleviates the damage of ammonia nitrogen stress in shrimp by repressing miR-2765 and activating the antioxidant enzyme system. This study will provide a theoretical basis and a new perspective for assessing the toxicity mechanism of ammonia nitrogen in the process of farming on shrimp.

Abstract
Flavor and nutritional value are important qualities of freshwater fish products, but the key factors affecting these quality parameters remain unclear. In this study, four typical aquaculture modes, including the commercial feed treatment (control), faba bean treatment (FBT), grass powder treatment (GPT), and waving water treatment with commercial feed (WWT), were used to explore the regulatory effect of water quality and feed (eaten and uneaten) on the flesh flavor and nutrition in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), a freshwater fish of the largest global production. During the culture period (90 days), water quality parameters of the four modes were measured every 15 days, and the flavor quality was evaluated by volatile flavor compounds detection and electronic nose analyzer. Flesh crude protein, crude fat, free fatty acid and free amino acid profiles were also determined. The results showed that, in the late period, the FBT mode had the poorest water quality with highest concentrations of nitrite and nitrate, while the GPT mode has the best water quality among the four modes. Most flesh flavor compounds found in the flesh of the control, GPT and WWT modes were pleasant. In the FBT mode with the poorest water quality, on the other hand, we found lower flavor quality (higher contribution of fishy compounds), higher water content, and lower contents of crude protein, crude fat, free fatty acids and free amino acids, compared to the other three modes. Correlation analyses showed that nitrite and nitrate are probably key water quality factors affecting the flavor quality and nutritional values besides eaten feed and uneaten feed factors. This study can serve as an important reference for ecological regulation and feeding administration of flesh quality in freshwater aquaculture fish.

Abstract
Monobutyl phthalate (MBP) can exist in biological organisms for a long time because of its excellent fat solubility, and it has been found to have certain toxic effects. In this study, the acute effects of MBP on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and metabolism in the zebrafish liver were studied. After continuous exposure to MBP (5 and 10 mg / L) for 96 h, ER damage and the appearance of apoptotic bodies and autophagosomes were found in liver. This is because MBP stimulated the ire-xbp1 pathway of ER stress, thus leading to apoptosis and autophagy. Also, through analysis of metabolic enzymes and genes, it was found that the activated ire-xbp1 pathway could promote lipid synthesis and cause the accumulation of lipid droplets. The gene pparγ related to lipid storage affected the level of insulin, which can also further affect the glucose metabolism process, that is, glycolysis and aerobic respiration were inhibited. And the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) was activated as a compensation mechanism to alleviate glycogen accumulation. The abnormal supply of energy and the death of excessive cells will eventually severely damage the zebrafish liver. This study will enrich the knowledge about the toxic effects of MBP.

Abstract
Phthalates (PAEs) are of wide concern because they are commonly used in various plastic products as plasticizers, and can found their way into the environment. However, their interaction with the environment and their toxicity in aquatic animals is still a matter of intense debate. In this review on PAEs in aquatic environments (lakes, rivers and seas), it is found that there is a large variety and abundance of PAEs in developing countries, and the total concentration of PAEs even exceeds 200 μg / L. The interaction between metabolic processes involved in the toxicity induced by various PAEs is summarized for the first time in the article. Exposure of PAEs can lead to activation of the detoxification system CYP450 and endocrine system receptors of aquatic animals, which in turn causes oxidative stress, metabolic disorders, endocrine disorders, and immunosuppression. Meanwhile, each system can activate / inhibit each other, causing genotoxicity and cell apoptosis, resulting in the growth and development of organisms being blocked. The mixed PAEs shows no cumulative toxicity changes to aquatic animals. For the combined pollution of other chemicals and PAEs, PAE can act as an agonist or antagonist, leading to combined toxicity in different directions. Phthalate monoesters (MPEs), the metabolites of PAEs, are also toxic to aquatic animals, however, the toxicity is weaker than the corresponding parent compounds. This review summarizes and analyzes the current ecotoxicological effects of PAEs on aquatic animals, and provides guidance for future research.

Abstract
Nanoplastics are common pollutants in aquatic environments and have attracted widespread research attention. However, few studies focus on the effects of nanoplastic exposure on energy metabolism in crustaceans. Accordingly, we exposed juvenile oriental river prawns (Macrobrachium nipponense) to different concentrations of 75-nm polystyrene nanoplastics (0, 5, 10, 20, and 40 mg/L) for 7, 14, 21, or 28 days. Thereafter, the effects of nanoplastic exposure on metabolite content, energy metabolism-related enzyme activity, and gene expression were evaluated. Our results showed that (1) with increasing nanoplastic concentration and exposure time, the survival rate decreased, while weight gain rate and molting number increased and then decreased; glycogen, triglyceride, and total cholesterol content all declined while lactic acid content increased with higher exposure to nanoplastic concentrations; (2) the activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), hexokinase (HK), carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1, pyruvate kinase (PK), lipase, and fatty acid synthase tended to decrease, while the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) increased. In particular, the activity of 6-phosphofructokinase exposed to 5 mg/L nanoplastics increased significantly (P < 0.05). (3) Expression of the metabolism-related genes 6-phosphate glucokinase (G-6-Pase), HK, PK, ACC, Acetyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP), CPT-1, and fatty-acid-binding protein 10 (FABP 10) increased and then decreased, while expression of the LDH gene showed an upward trend. These results indicate that nanoplastics affect growth, enzyme activity, and the gene expression of energy metabolism in M. nipponense, and that high concentrations of nanoplastics have a negative impact on energy metabolism.

Abstract
Salinity is an important environmental factor which usually goes unnoticed in shrimp growout systems. In the present study an attempt was done to analyse the physiological and immunological responses of Penaeus monodon to Vibrio harveyi infection under acute salinity stress. Shrimps were challenged with V. harveyi under 5‰ salinity stress, 35‰ salinity stress and optimal salinity (15‰) conditions by intramuscular injection. A control was maintained without bacterial challenge. Haemolymph was collected from shrimps soon after salinity change before V. harveyi challenge (post salinity change day (PSD) 0), on post challenge day (PCD) 2, 7 and 10. Immune variables viz., total haemocyte count (THC), phenol oxidase activity (PO), Nitroblue tetrazolium salt (NBT) reduction, alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), acid phosphatase activity (ACP) and metabolic variables viz., total protein (TP), total carbohydrates (TC), total free amino acids (TFAA), total lipids (TL), glucose (Gl) and cholesterol (Ch) were then determined. One way ANOVA followed by Duncan's multiple comparison of the means revealed significant differences between shrimps subjected to different salinity conditions and then challenged with V. harveyi (P < 0.05). Post challenge survival was significantly higher in shrimps maintained at 15‰ and acute salinity stress reduced the survival rate. However, pathogenicity of V. harveyi was slightly higher at 35‰ than at 5‰. At the onset of salinity stress, parameters viz., THC, NBT and ACP significantly reduced and TC increased at 5‰ and 35‰. Following V. harveyi challenge, an overall increase could be observed in metabolic variables on PCD2 and immune variables on PCD2 and 7 in P. monodon maintained at 15‰ compared to the control. Even though an increase in immune response and metabolic variables could be obtained on post challenge days in shrimps under salinity stress compared to the control, it was considerably low in comparison with shrimps maintained at 15‰. Regression analysis proved that NBT, ALP, TP and TL could be proposed as potential stress indicators to evaluate shrimp health status. In brief, it may be concluded from the study that acute salinity changes evoke physiological responses that affect the immunocompetence and metabolic performance of P. monodon against V. harveyi challenge, thereby increasing the susceptibility to infection. Moreover higher salinity enhanced the pathogenicity of V. harveyi.

Abstract
Monobutyl phthalate (MBP) is a primary metabolite of an environmental endocrine disruptor dibutyl phthalate (DBP), which poses a potential threat to living organisms. In this research, the acute toxicity of MBP on energy metabolism in zebrafish gills was studied. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results show that 10 mg L-1 MBP can induce mitochondrial structural damage of chloride cells after 96 h of continuous exposure. The activity of ion ATPase and the expression level of oxidative phosphorylation-related genes suggest that MBP interferes with ATP synthesis and ion transport. Further leading to a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and cell viability, thereby mediating early-stage cell apoptosis. Through a comprehensive analysis of principal component analysis (PCA) and integrated biomarker response (IBR) scores, atp5a1, a subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase, is mainly inhibited by MBP, followed by genes encoding ion ATPase (atp1b2 and atp2b1). Importantly, MBP inhibits aerobic metabolism by inhibiting the key enzyme malate dehydrogenase (MDH) in the TCA cycle, forcing zebrafish to maintain ATP supply by enhancing anaerobic metabolism.

Abstract
Nitrite is a major environmental toxin in aquaculture systems that disrupts multiple physiological functions in aquatic animals. Although nitrite tolerance in shrimp is closely related to successful industrial production, few genetic studies of this trait are available. In this study, we constructed a high-density genetic map of Litopenaeus vannamei with 17,242 single nucleotide polymorphism markers spanning 6,828.06 centimorgans (cM), with an average distance of 0.4 cM between adjacent markers on 44 linkage groups (LGs). Using this genetic map, we identified two markers associated with nitrite tolerance. We then sequenced the transcriptomes of the most nitrite-tolerant and nitrite-sensitive individuals from each of four genetically distinct L. vannamei families (LV-I–4). We found 2,002, 1,983, 1,954, and 1,867 differentially expressed genes in families LV-1, LV-2, LV-3, and LV-4, respectively. By integrating QTL and transcriptomics analyses, we identified a candidate gene associated with nitrite tolerance. This gene was annotated as solute carrier family 26 member 6 (SLC26A6). RNA interference (RNAi) analysis demonstrated that SLC26A6 was critical for nitrite tolerance in L. vannamei. The present study increases our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying nitrite tolerance in shrimp and provides a basis for molecular-marker-assisted shrimp breeding.

Abstract
The sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) transcription factors family, which regulate the expression of genes involved in cellular lipid metabolism and homeostasis, have recently been implicated in various physiological and pathophysiological processes such as immune regulation and inflammation in vertebrates. Consistent with other invertebrates, we identified a single SREBP ortholog in Penaeus vannamei (designated PvSREBP) with transcripts ubiquitously expressed in tissues and induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Streptococcus iniae. In vivo RNA interference (RNAi) of PvSREBP attenuated the expression of several fatty acid metabolism-related genes (i.e., cyclooxygenase (PvCOX), lipoxygenase (PvLOX), fatty acid binding protein (PvFABP) and fatty acid synthase (PvFASN)), which consequently decreased the levels of total polyunsaturated fatty acids (ΣPUFAs). In addition, PvSREBP silencing decreased transcript levels of several immune-related genes such as hemocyanin (PvHMC) and trypsin (PvTrypsin), as well as genes encoding for heat-shock proteins (i.e., PvHSP60, PvHSP70 and PvHSP90). Moreover, in silico analysis revealed the presence of SREBP binding motifs on the promoters of most of the dysregulated genes, while shrimp depleted of PvSREBP were more susceptible to V. parahaemolyticus infection. Collectively, we demonstrated the involvement of shrimp SREBP in fatty acids metabolism and immune response, and propose that PvSREBP and PvHMC modulate each other through a feedback mechanism to establish homeostasis. The current study is the first to show the dual role of SREBP in fatty acid metabolism and immune response in invertebrates and crustaceans.
