Molecular basis of pathogenesis of emerging viruses infecting aquatic animals

Aquatic vertebrates are very abundant in the world,and they are of tremendous importance in providing global food security and nutrition.However,emergent and resurgent viruses,such as ranavirus(e.g.,Rana grylio virus,RGV and Andriasd avidianus ranavirus,ADRV),herpesvirus(e.g.,Carassius carassius herpesvirus,CaHV),reovirus(e.g.,grass carp reovirus 109,GCRV-109,Scophthal musmaximus reovirus,SMReV and Micropterus salmoides reovirus,MsReV),and rhabdovirus(e.g.,Siniper cachuatsi rhabdovirus,SCRV and Scophthal musmaximus rhabdovirus,SMRV)can cause severe diseases in aquaculture animals and wild lower vertebrates,such as frogs,giant salamanders,fish,and so on.Here,we will briefly describe the symptoms produced by the aforementioned viruses and the molecular basis of the virus ehost interactions.This manuscript aims to provide an overview of viral diseases in lower vertebrates with an emphasis on visible symptomatic manifestations and pathogenesis.

Kinetic theory for aquatic animal distribution simulation

Identifying the underlying mechanisms that influence the spatial patterns in populations improves the forecasts of the alternative management strategies on the spatial dynamics of the populations, which are critical for assessing and managing the fisheries and improving the water resource management. This paper described a new approach of the numerical model for the prediction of the aquatic animal distribution in the flows. The model was developed based on the kinetic theory of gases, the mechanism of the aquatic animal movement and the flow hydrodynamic patterns. The model was validated using the available experimental data and an acceptable agreement was obtained. A comprehensive parameter study was then conducted to help understand the impact and the sensitivity of each parameter to the aquatic animal distribution. The promising results of the model reveal the prospect of applying this model to the reliable prediction of the aquatic animal distribution within a relatively large water area.

Reimagining safe lithium applications in the living environment and its impacts on human,animal,and plant system

Lithium's(Li)ubiquitous distribution in the environment is a rising concern due to its rapid proliferation in the modern electronic industry.Li enigmatic entry into the terrestrial food chain raises many questions and uncertainties that may pose a grave threat to living biota.We examined the leverage existing published articles regarding advances in global Li resources,interplay with plants,and possible involvement with living organisms,especially humans and animals.Globally,Li concentration(<10 e300 mg kg
1)is detected in agricultural soil,and their pollutant levels vary with space and time.High mobility of Li results in higher accumulation in plants,but the clear mechanisms and specific functions remain unknown.Our assessment reveals the causal relationship between Li level and biota health.For example,lower Li intake(<0.6 mM in serum)leads to mental disorders,while higher intake(>1.5 mM in serum)induces thyroid,stomach,kidney,and reproductive system dysfunctions in humans and animals.However,there is a serious knowledge gap regarding Li regulatory standards in environmental compartments,and mechanistic approaches to unveil its consequences are needed.Furthermore,aggressive efforts are required to define optimum levels of Li for the normal functioning of animals,plants,and humans.This review is designed to revitalize the current status of Li research and identify the key knowledge gaps to fight back against the mountainous challenges of Li during the recent digital revolution.Additionally,we propose pathways to overcome Li problems and develop a strategy for effective,safe,and acceptable applications.

A Review:From Aquatic Lives Locomotion to Bio-inspired Robot Mechanical Designations

With the development of camera technology,high-speed cameras have greatly contributed to capturing the movement and posture of animals,which has dramatically promoted experimental biology research.At the same time,with the concept of bionics gradually gaining popularity among researchers,the design of robots is absorbing more and more biological features,where the interest in the bio-inspired robot is hewed out.Compared with the traditional robot,the bio-inspired robot imitates the motion pattern to achieve similar propulsion features,which may be more effective and reasonable.In this paper,the motion patterns of aquatic animals are divided into four categories according to their propulsion mechanisms:drag-based,lift-based,jet-based,and interface-based.And bio-inspired robots imitating aquatic prototypes are introduced and reviewed.Finally,the prospect of aquatic bio-inspired robots is discussed.

Genotoxicity biomarkers in aquatic bioindicators

Pollution of the aquatic environment is an ever-growing problem, as waters are the ultimate sink for the large number of xenobiotics from multiple sources. DNA damaging agents have a significant ecological relevance since they are implicated in many pathological processes and exert effects beyond that of individual being active through following generations. A large number of methods have been applied to evaluate genotoxic damage in different aquatic species. Comet assay, as method for de- tecting DNA alterations, and micronucleus test, as an index of chromosomal damage are the most widely applied and validated methods in field studies. These methods were applied in different vertebrate and invertebrate aquatic species, but only mollusk and fish species have been employed in routine biomonitoring programs. Mussels, due to their widely geographical distribution and the suitability for caging represent the bioindicator of choice in field studies. Mytilus species is the most used marine mussel. The use of fish is limited to specific geographic areas. The present review mainly focuses on the application of comet assay and micronucleus test in mussels. A number of biomonitoring studies in mussels, using comet assay or micronucleus test, revealed exposure to different classes of genotoxic compounds with a good discrimination power. The different evidence from the two as- says, reflects different biological mechanisms for the two genetic endpoints, DNA damage and chromosomal damage, suggesting their combined application in the field. Different endogenous and exogenous factors have been shown to modulate the genotoxic responses in mussels, acting as confounding factors in environmental monitoring. The use of standardized protocol for caging, sampling and genotoxity evaluation is critical in biomonitoring studies. The use of a multimarker approach coupling genotoxicity biomarkers with physiological and biochemical factors allows to have a complete picture of the environmental pollution [Current Zoology 60 （2）： 273-284, 2014].

Number of holes and blades to control the performance of aquaculture aerator

Water quality determines the success of inland aquaculture.The factor determining water quality is the concentration of dissolved oxygen(DO).To find effective paddlewheel aerators to enhance DO concentration,nine model aerators were examined:aerator 4 blades,6 blades and 8 blades with variations of 12 holes per blade,16 holes per blade and 20 holes per blade.They were rotated at 80 RPM,100 RPM,120 RPM and 140 RPM.The results show the higher the rotation speed is,the bigger the increment of DO concentration is,but their relationship is not linier.There is a condition when increasing rotation does not affect the DO concentration meaningly.The results also indicate the greater number of blades increase more DO concentration.The results also suggest the greater number of holes per blade initially increase DO concentration increment,but after 16 holes the increment tends to reduce.It is predicted owing to that widening surface interaction due to the holes in the blade is taken over by reducing the volume of splashed water.In this research,likely the aerator with 8 blades,16 holes per blade and rotated at 120 RPM is the optimum one to increase DO concentration.However,if the energy consumption is also the concern,the aerator with 6 blades and 16 holes per blade likely is the better choice.
