Diurnal temperature range variability driven by cloud cover and precipitation in Mongolian Plateau under global warming - Li Na; Risu Na; Yulong Bao; Jiquan Zhang; Yuhai Bao; Yin Shan (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
The diurnal temperature range (DTR) has significantly decreased in many land areas as a consequence of global warming. The DTR spatial distribution and future projections of spatiotemporal variations in the case of global warming levels at 1.5 and 2.0°C under the RCP4.5 emission scenario was investigated using datasets from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU‐TS v.3.24.01) and the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) in the Mongolian Plateau. And the main factors influencing DTR spatiotemporal variations were also evaluated using the Geo‐detector model at different time scales. The results showed that variations of the DTR significant decrease in snow‐winter dry‐warm summer climate region are higher than in other climate regions in spatial scale. As a result of the increasing rates of T min , which was more than double that of T max , the DTR decreased significantly on a temporal scale. In climate projections, the DTR was lower at global warming of 2.0°C (2037–2056) than 1.5°C (2017–2036). Precipitation was determined to be the predominant factor underlying the annual and seasonal (spring, summer, and autumn) DTR changes. Total cloud cover was the main factor in winter. Soil moisture was the key factor for the spatial variations in DTR in the warm and dry seasons. This study enhances the understanding of climate change in the Mongolian Plateau and provides a strong reference for other DTR variation studies in similar climates.

Transcriptome Analysis Provides an Overview of Genes Involved in the Peculiar Food Preference at First-Feeding Stage in Mandarin Fish (Siniperca chuatsi) - Ling Li; Shu-Lin Tang; Shan He; Xu-Fang Liang (Fishes, 2022)
The mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is an important economic fish species in China. Many carnivorous fish larvae feed on zooplankton or microdiets. However, the mandarin fish larvae feed on live prey fish exclusively, while refusing zooplankton or microdiets. A stable supply of palatable live prey fish results in high costs. Moreover, the application of live prey fish might bring the risk of pathogens. However, little is known about the genes underlying the food preference of mandarin fish larvae. Partial offspring of the domesticated strain could feed brine shrimp from three days post-hatching (dph), the open mouth day. In the present study, the mandarin fish larvae were randomly divided into three groups, then treated differently at 3 dph: (1) unfed; (2) fed with live prey fish; (3) fed with brine shrimp (Artemia). Differentially expressed genes were identified by RNA-seq. The differential expression of the transcription factors involved in retinal photoreceptor development and differentiation might contribute to the intake of brine shrimp in mandarin fish larvae. Meanwhile, the digestive enzyme genes involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate digestion have been expressed in mandarin fish larvae at 3 dph, contributing to the digestion of ingested food. Our study provides an overview of genes and biological processes involved in the peculiar food preference at the first-feeding stage in mandarin fish larvae and has critical importance to the future application of non-fish live feeds in the culture of mandarin fish larvae.

Spatially explicit model of the Cryptosporidium and Giardia disease burden from surface and ground waters in urban and rural areas of the Three Gorges Reservoir watershed in Chongqing, China - Qian Huang; Shan Huang; Bo Li; Yanhong Xiong; Weijie Kuang; Shunxin Xiao; Jianghui Yi; Feng Zhao; Guosheng Xiao (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Cryptosporidium and Giardia (major causes of diarrhea) are widely distributed in Chinese source waters and threaten human health. A new spatially explicit GloWPa-TGR-Crypt-Giar C1 model is presented to simultaneously estimate mean monthly (oo)cyst concentrations in surface and ground waters in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) watershed. A quantitative risk assessment of protozoal infections considered different source waters, transmission pathways, regions, susceptible subpopulations, and drinking water treatments. Monthly mean Cryptosporidium oocyst and Giardia cyst concentrations ranged between 0.5–19.3 oocysts/10 L and 0.2–5.0 cysts/10 L in surface water, respectively, and 0.007–0.3 oocysts/10 L and 0.002–0. 2 cysts/10 L in groundwater. The cumulative disease burdens attributable to cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis were, respectively, 5.77×10 −5 DALYs (disability-adjusted life years/person/year) and 4.63×10 −6 DALYs in urban areas, and 6.35×10 −4 DALYs and 8.84×10 −5 DALYs in rural areas, which were much higher than the reference risk level recommended by the World Health Organization ( $${10}^{-6}$$ 10 - 6 DALYs). The annual burden associated with consuming surface water was calculated to be 3.84×10 −4 DALYs for Cryptosporidium and $$5.10× {10}^{-5}$$ 5.10 × 10 - 5 DALYs for Giardia , whereas consuming groundwater entailed the lower burdens (1.26×10 −5 and 3.50×10 −6 DALYs, respectively). Most DALYs were a consequence of consumption of directly supplied surface water. Fifty percent of the health burden was carried by immunodeficiency with HIV. Children (0–4 years) were more likely to have an individual disease burden than adults (15–64 years). Males were more susceptible than females. Improving sanitation through adequate ozone and microfiltration treatment should be considered when attempting to reduce disease burden. Sensitivity analysis highlighted the importance of reducing (oo)cyst loads to protect the watershed. The methodology and results described will help in evaluating and reducing the burden of protozoal infection associated with surface and ground waters in the TGR and similar watersheds.

Discrete Element Simulation on Macro-Meso Mechanical Characteristics of Natural Gas Hydrate-Bearing Sediments under Shearing - Meng Li; Hengjie Luan; Yujing Jiang; Sunhao Zhang; Qinglin Shan; Wei Liang; Xianzhuang Ma (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In order to study the macro-meso shear mechanical characteristics of natural gas hydrate-bearing sediments, the direct shear simulations of natural gas hydrate-bearing sediment specimens with different saturations under different normal stress boundary conditions were carried out using the discrete element simulation program of particle flow, and the macro-meso shear mechanical characteristics of the specimens and their evolution laws were obtained, and their shear damage mechanisms were revealed. The results show that the peak intensity of natural gas hydrate-bearing sediments increases with the increase in normal stress and hydrate saturation. Hydrate particles and sand particles jointly participate in the formation and evolution of the force chain, and sand particles account for the majority of the force chain particles and take the main shear resistance role. The number of cracks produced by shear increases with hydrate saturation and normal stress. The average porosity in the shear zone shows an evolutionary pattern of decreasing and then increasing during the shear process.

The diversity and structure of diazotrophic communities in the rhizosphere of coastal saline plants is mainly affected by soil physicochemical factors but not host plant species - Yanjing Song; Lan Ma; Haiyang Zhang; Rao Fu; Xiaoyan Liang; Junlin Li; Jiajia Li; Meng Li; Yan Shan; Jieshan Cheng; Xiangyu Wang; Hongxia Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The diversity and community structure of rhizospheric microbes are largely affected by soil physicochemical properties and plant species. In this work, high throughput sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR targeting nifH gene were used to assess the abundance and diversity of diazotrophic community in the coastal saline soils of Yellow River Delta (YRD). We demonstrated that the copy number of nifH gene encoding the Fe protein subunit of the nitrogenase in the nitrogen fixation process was significantly affected by soil physiochemical factors, and the abundance of diazotrophs in the rhizospheric soil samples collected from different locations was positively related with soil physicochemical properties. Soil salinity ( P =0.003) and moisture ( P =0.003) were significantly co-varied with the OTU-based community composition of diazotrophs. Taxonomic analysis showed that most diazotrophs belonged to the Alphaproteobacteria , Gammaproteobacteria and Deltaproteobacteria . Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) showed that diazotrophic community structure significantly varied with soil salinity, moisture, pH and total nitrogen, carbon, sulphur and nitrite (NO 2 – N) content. Our findings provide direct evidence toward the understanding of different effects of soil physicochemical properties and host plant traits such as halophytes types, life span and cotyledon type, on the community composition of diazotrophic populations in the rhizosphere of plants grown in coastal saline soils.

Prediction of Operation Time of Container Ship at Berth under Uncertain Factors Based on a Hybrid Model Combining PCA and ELM Optimized by IPSO - Zhaohui Li; Lin Wang; Wenjia Piao; Hao Jia; Shan Dong; Jiehan Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
With the rapid development of global trade, the turnover of shipping containers has increased rapidly. How to use port resources reasonably and efficiently has become one of the main challenges that ports need to deal with when planning for the future. In order to develop scientific and efficient berth plans to improve operational efficiency and service level, this paper proposes a hybrid prediction model based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) optimized by Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO), namely, the PCA-IPSO-ELM model. After assessing the uncertain factors influencing the operation time of the container ship at berth, this work reduces the dimensionality of the investigational data by the PCA method. Aiming to solve easy premature convergence of the traditional particle swarm algorithm, this paper introduces an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm via dynamic adjustment of nonlinear parameters. This improved particle swarm algorithm is mainly used to optimize the weights and thresholds of the extreme learning machine. Thus, a PCA-IPSO-ELM model which aims to forecast the operation time of a container ship at berth, is constructed. Using the historical operation data of the Tianjin Port Container Shipping Company as the prediction sample, this PCA-IPSO-ELM model is compared and assessed with traditional models. The results show that compared with other models, the PCA-IPSO-ELM prediction model has the characteristics of high prediction accuracy, fast running rate and strong stability, and it has a higher coefficient of determination and a better fitting degree.

The recent development of biological sensors has extended marine plankton studies from conducting laboratory bench work to in vivo and real-time observations. Flow cytometry (FCM) has shed new light on marine microorganisms since the 1980s through its single-cell approach and robust detection of the smallest cells. FCM records valuable optical properties of light scattering and fluorescence from cells passing in a single file in front of a narrow-collimated light source, recording tens of thousands of cells within a few minutes. Depending on the instrument settings, the sampling strategy, and the automation level, it resolves the spatial and temporal distribution of microbial marine prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Cells are usually classified and grouped on cytograms by experts and are still lacking standards, reducing data sharing capacities. Therefore, the need to make FCM data sets FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability of digital assets) is becoming critical. In this paper, we present a consensus vocabulary for the 13 most common marine microbial groups observed with FCM using blue and red-light excitation. The authors designed a common layout on two-dimensional log-transformed cytograms reinforced by a decision tree that facilitates the characterization of groups. The proposed vocabulary aims at standardising data analysis and definitions, to promote harmonisation and comparison of data between users and instruments. This represents a much-needed step towards FAIRification of flow cytometric data collected in various marine environments.

AIF Overexpression Aggravates Oxidative Stress in Neonatal Male Mice After Hypoxia–Ischemia Injury - Tao Li; Yanyan Sun; Shan Zhang; Yiran Xu; Kenan Li; Cuicui Xie; Yong Wang; Yafeng Wang; Jing Cao; Xiaoyang Wang; Josef M. Penninger; Guido Kroemer; et al. (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
There are sex differences in the severity, mechanisms, and outcomes of neonatal hypoxia–ischemia (HI) brain injury, and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) may play a critical role in this discrepancy. Based on previous findings that AIF overexpression aggravates neonatal HI brain injury, we further investigated potential sex differences in the severity and molecular mechanisms underlying the injury using mice that overexpress AIF from homozygous transgenes. We found that the male sex significantly aggravated AIF-driven brain damage, as indicated by the injury volume in the gray matter (2.25 times greater in males) and by the lost volume of subcortical white matter (1.71 greater in males) after HI. As compared to females, male mice exhibited more severe brain injury, correlating with reduced antioxidant capacities, more pronounced protein carbonylation and nitration, and increased neuronal cell death. Under physiological conditions (without HI), the doublecortin-positive area in the dentate gyrus of females was 1.15 times larger than in males, indicating that AIF upregulation effectively promoted neurogenesis in females in the long term. We also found that AIF stimulated carbohydrate metabolism in young males. Altogether, these findings corroborate earlier studies and further demonstrate that AIF is involved in oxidative stress, which contributes to the sex-specific differences observed in neonatal HI brain injury.

Genomic prediction of drought tolerance during seedling stage in maize using low-cost molecular markers - Ao Zhang; Shan Chen; Zhenhai Cui; Yubo Liu; Yuan Guan; Shuang Yang; Jingtao Qu; Juchao Nie; Dongdong Dang; Cong Li; Xiaomei Dong; Jinjuan Fan; et al. (Euphytica, 2022)
Drought tolerance in maize is a complex and polygenic trait, especially in the seedling stage. In plant breeding, complex genetic traits can be improved by genomic selection (GS), which has become a practical and effective breeding tool. In the present study, a natural maize population named Northeast China core population (NCCP) consisting of 379 inbred lines were genotyped with diversity arrays technology (DArT) and genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) platforms. Target traits of seedling emergence rate (ER), seedling plant height (SPH), and grain yield (GY) were evaluated under two natural drought stress environments in northeast China. Adequate genetic variations were observed for all the target traits, but they were divergent across environments. Similarly, the heritability of the target trait also varied across years and environments, the heritabilities in 2019 (0.88, 0.82, 0.85 for ER, SPH, GY) were higher than those in 2020 (0.65, 0.53, 0.33) and cross-2-years (0.32, 0.26, 0.33). In total, three marker datasets, 11,865 SilicoDArT markers obtained from the DArT-seq platform, 7837 SNPs obtained from the DArT-seq platform, and 91,003 SNPs obtained from the GBS platform, were used for GS analysis after quality control. The results of phylogenetic trees showed that broad genetic diversity existed in the NCCP population. Genomic prediction results showed that the average prediction accuracies estimated using the DArT SNP dataset under the two-fold cross-validation scheme were 0.27, 0.19, and 0.33, for ER, SPH, and GY, respectively. The result of SilicoDArT is close to the SNPs from DArT-seq, those were 0.26, 0.22, and 0.33. For the trait with lower heritability, the prediction accuracy can be improved using the dataset filtered by linkage disequilibrium. For the same trait, the prediction accuracies estimated with two DArT marker datasets were consistently higher than that estimated with the GBS SNP dataset under the same genotyping cost. The prediction accuracy was improved by controlling population structure and marker quality, even though the marker density was reduced. The prediction accuracies were improved by more than 30% using the significant-associated SNPs. Due to the complexity of drought tolerance under the natural stress environments, multiple years of data need to be accumulated to improve prediction accuracy by reducing genotype-by-environment interaction. Modeling genotype-by-environment interaction into genomic prediction needs to be further developed for improving drought tolerance in maize. The results obtained from the present study provides valuable pathway for improving drought tolerance in maize using GS.

Clinical profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of invasive Salmonella infections in children in China - Wen Song; Qingwen Shan; Yue Qiu; Xianyao Lin; Chunhui Zhu; Zhiqiang Zhuo; Caihong Wang; Jianning Tong; Rui Li; Chaomin Wan; Yu Zhu; Minxia Chen; et al. (European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2022)
Invasive Salmonella infections result in a significant burden of disease including morbidity, mortality, and financial cost in many countries. Besides typhoid fever, the clinical impact of non-typhoid Salmonella infections is increasingly recognized with the improvement of laboratory detection capacity and techniques. A retrospective multicenter study was conducted to analyze the clinical profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of invasive Salmonella infections in hospitalized children in China during 2016–2018. A total of 130 children with invasive Salmonella infections were included with the median age of 12 months (range: 1–144 months). Seventy-nine percent of cases occurred between May and October. Pneumonia was the most common comorbidity in 33 (25.4%) patients. Meningitis and septic arthritis caused by nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) infections occurred in 12 (9.2%) patients and 5 (3.8%) patients. Patients < 12 months (OR: 16.04) and with septic shock (OR: 23.4), vomit (OR: 13.33), convulsion (OR: 15.86), C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥ 40 g/L (OR: 5.56), and a higher level of procalcitonin (PCT) (OR: 1.05) on admission were statistically associated to an increased risk of developing meningitis. Compared to 114 patients with NTS infections , 16 patients with typhoid fever presented with higher levels of CRP and PCT ( P < 0.05). The rates of resistance to ampicillin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin, and ceftriaxone among Salmonella Typhi and NTS isolates were 50% vs 57.3%, 9.1% vs 24.8%, 0% vs 11.2%, and 0% vs 9.9%, respectively. NTS has been the major cause of invasive Salmonella infections in Chinese children and can result in severe diseases. Antimicrobial resistance among NTS was more common.

Establishment of an astrocyte‐like cell line from the brain of tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) for virus pathogenesis and a vitro model of the blood–brain barrier - Yuan Li; Yu Huang; Jia Cai; Dongneng Jiang; Ji‐chang Jian; Yi‐shan Lu; Bei Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
A new cell line was established from the brain of a cultured fish, tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ), designated as TA‐02 (Tilapia Astrocyte clone 02 cell line). The TA‐02 cells are grown for 300 days in an L‐15 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). This cell line showed excellent proliferative capacity and expressed various neuroglial cell markers, including SOX2, SOX10, Hes1, Notch1, Occludin, E‐cadherin, and GFAP. In addition, TA‐02 cells were susceptible to Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) as demonstrated by the presence of a severe cytopathic effect (CPE), virus particle in a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and PCR positive signal. Bacterial cytotoxicity studies showed that Streptococcus agalactiae was toxic to TA‐02 cells. When co‐culture with trans‐well, TA‐02 exhibited prominent barrier properties, manifested by tight intercellular junctions and increased trans‐endothelial electrical resistance (TEER). In addition, the barrier is effective against Escherichia coli (non‐meningitis pathogenic bacteria). In contrast, S. agalactiae (meningitis pathogenic bacteria) can pass through the membrane comprising the cells in the trans‐well insert. The newly established TA‐02 cell line provided a valuable tool for virus pathogenesis and a vitro model of the fish blood–brain barrier.

Transcriptome Analysis of Greenfin Horse-Faced Filefish (Thamnaconus septentrionalis) Gills in Response to Amyloodinium ocellatum (AO) Infection - Li-Guo Yang; Yue Wang; Wen-Bin Xu; Bo Qin; Na Ying; Xue-Feng Song; Yan-Feng Yue; Xiao-Shan Wang; Bian-Bian Zhang; Yan-Qing Wu (Fishes, 2022)
The greenfin horse-faced filefish (Thamnaconus septentrionalis) is susceptible to recurrent Amyloodinium ocellatum (AO) infestation over the grow-out production cycle. This parasite breeds mainly on the gills, causing hypoxia in the fish body, and leading to many deaths. The host-parasite response drives a complex immune reaction, which is poorly understood. To generate a model for host-parasite interaction and the pathogenesis of AO in greenfin horse-faced filefish, an RNA-seq approach, differential gene expression, GO, and KEGG analyses were employed. Overall, 624 new genes and 2076 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected, including 942 upregulated and 1134 downregulated genes in the gills. Compared with the control group, the expression of leptin a, GTPase IMAP family member 4, and NLR family CARD domain-containing protein 3 was significantly higher in the AO-infected group. Conversely, cell wall integrity and stress response component 1-like, and hepcidin-like were significantly downregulated in the gills of AO-infected fish. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that DEGs were significantly enriched in signaling pathways associated with viral protein interaction with cytokine and cytokine receptor and cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction. Collectively, this transcriptomic study provides novel molecular insights into the pathology caused by AO infestation and alternative theories for future research implementing strategies to control and manage AO.

Lysine 2‐hydroxyisobutyrylation orchestrates cell development and aflatoxin biosynthesis in Aspergillus flavus - Yangyong Lv; Jing Wang; Haojie Yang; Na Li; Mohsen Farzaneh; Shan Wei; Huanchen Zhai; Shuaibing Zhang; Yuansen Hu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Lysine 2‐hydroxyisobutyrylation (K hib ) is a recently identified post‐translational modification (PTM) that regulates numerous cellular metabolic processes. In pathogenic microorganism, although glycolysis and fungal virulence are regulated by K hib , its potential roles in fungi remain to be elusive. Our preliminary results showed that levels of K hib fluctuate over time in Aspergillus flavus , which frequently contaminates crops and produces carcinogenic aflatoxins. However, the perception of K hib function in A . flavus is limited, especially in mycotoxin‐producing strains. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis of K hib in A . flavus , and 7156 K hib sites were identified in 1473 proteins. Notably, we demonstrated that K hib of AflM, a key enzyme in aflatoxin biosynthesis, affected conidia production and sclerotia formation. Furthermore, aflM deletion impaired aflatoxin biosynthesis, and more importantly, strains in which K hib was mimicked by K to T mutation at K49, K179 and K180 sites showed reduced aflatoxin production compared with wild type and ΔaflM complementation strains. These results indicate that K hib at these sites of AflM negatively regulates aflatoxin biosynthesis in A . flavus . In summary, our study revealed the potential roles of K hib in A . flavus , and particularly shed light on a new way to regulate aflatoxin production via K hib .

Currents shaped the genetic structure of Tridentiger barbatus (Günther 1861) along the Chinese coast - Jiehong Wei; Min-Yun Liu; Jen-Chieh Shiao; Fan Li; Jinquan Yang; Yoshiyuki Iizuka; Bin Kang; Ruo-Shan Tseng; Huan-Jie Shao; Te-Yu Liao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The modern coast of China is characterized by complicated hydrology, which might be a potential factor shaping genetic structure of marine organisms. Tridentiger barbatus is a widespread benthic goby in coastal China whose range expansion might depend on larval dispersal in its spawning season. We explored the genetic structure of T. barbatus and its interrelationships with coastal currents, planktonic larval duration, and Pleistocene climate fluctuations. Genealogies of Cytb , Rh , and RAG1 reveal two lineages in T. barbatus , namely the southern and northern lineages. The southern lineage is distributed through the South China Sea to the South Yellow Sea but is absent from the North Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. The HYCOM average flow field indicates an eddy between the North and South Yellow Seas, which might cause larval retention and limit dispersal of the southern lineage into the North Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. The northern lineage is distributed through the South Yellow Sea to the Bohai Sea but is absent from the South China Sea and East China Sea. The distribution of the northern lineage fits the eastward deflection of the Yellow Sea Coastal Current at the boundary of the East China Sea and South Yellow Sea, which might limit southward larval dispersal of the northern lineage into the East China Sea. We also uncovered two Cytb haplotype groups within the southern lineage, namely groups A and B, whose distributions might be shaped by the northward Taiwan Strait Current. The coincidence between the genetic structure of T. barbatus and the coastal currents and eddies strongly implies significant roles of larval dispersal and current transportation in shaping the genetic structure of T. barbatus . In addition, significant isolation by distance is found in the southern lineage, which coincides with its short planktonic larval duration (20–30 days). The inference on divergence time suggests that the observed lineages and haplotype groups in T. barbatus originated in the Pleistocene glaciations. Therefore, the coastal currents, planktonic larval duration, and historical glacial isolation are proposed as important factors shaping the genetic structure of T. barbatus .

Variations in nutrients and microbes during the occurrence and extinction of algal blooms: A mesocosm experiment with the addition of marine aquaculture sediment - Yuanmin Sun; Kunxian Tang; Yong Ma; Xuan Zhu; Heyang Li; Fei Zhang; Shan Chen; Haiping Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The release of pollutants in sediment often causes secondary pollution of seawater. In this paper, marine aquaculture sediment was added to seawater in a coastal land–based mesocosm, and the changes in microbial and physicochemical parameters were measured to study the influence of sediment disturbance on seawater. The results showed that sediment disturbance had adverse effects on seawater. After adding and stirring the aquaculture sediment, the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) gradually decreased, and those of nutrients gradually increased; in particular, the concentrations of ammonia and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) increased most sharply. After day 9, a bloom dominated by Chaetoceros occurred. Concentrations of chlorophyll a (Chl-a) increased, and two obvious Chl-a peaks were observed; the trends of DO and pH were similar to that of Chl-a during the bloom period; and DIP and ammonia were exhausted during periods of Chl-a peaks. During the extinction of algal blooms, the concentrations of Chl-a and DO decreased, whereas those of DIP and ammonia increased. The variation trends of bacteria and viruses were similar to that of Chl-a, with two obvious peaks, which were later than those of Chl-a. There were close connections between Chl-a and nutrients, bacteria and viruses and they showed a trend of changes in turn from nutrients to phytoplankton to bacteria to viruses during the experiment. We concluded that bloom formation was mainly affected by nutrients and weather, and the main reason for bloom decline was the depletion of nutrients. The increase in zooplankton, bacteria, and virus abundance was the ecological effect after the occurrence of algal blooms, and they affected the development of algal blooms.

Microplastic prevalence in marine fish from onshore Beibu Gulf, South China Sea - Jayamini Bimali Koongolla; Lang Lin; Chang-Ping Yang; Yun-Feng Pan; Heng-Xiang Li; Shan Liu; Xiang-Rong Xu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
In recent years, microplastics have been widely detected in marine fish and may pose potential risks to fish and human health. Even though microplastic pollution is a critical issue, it represents as yet non-quantified threat for some context in the marine environment. In this study, 271 individuals comprising 32 species of marine fish collected from Beibu Gulf were examined for microplastic prevalence, with an aim to provide data on the abundance, physical classification, and chemical characterization of microplastics in the great bay along South China Sea. The results showed that the occurrence rate of microplastics was 93.7%, and the average abundance of microplastics was 1.02 ± 0.18 items per individual (ranging from 0.03 to 4.00 items per individual). Microplastic accumulation was observed with a great variation in different species, body sizes, living habitats, and feeding habits of marine fishes. The dominant polymers identified by μ-FTIR were polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene. Fibers, smaller sizes (<1 mm), and transparent color were the major characteristics of the detected microplastics, which might be important factors affecting the bioaccumulation. The present study revealed that microplastics in marine fish is a widespread issue in onshore Beibu Gulf.

Differentiation and Temperature Adaptation of Pampus Echinogaster Based on Genome-Wide SNPs - Yuan Li; Fangrui Lou; Shigang Liu; Hai Li; Jiali Xiang; Binbin Shan; Longshan Lin; Xuan Zhuang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Climate change and overfishing have led to the degradation of the quality and stock of Pampus echinogaster. Exploring the genetic structure and local adaptive evolutionary mechanisms of P. echinogaster is crucial for the management of this species. This population genomic study of nine geographical populations of P. echinogaster in China was conducted by specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq). A total of 935,215 SLAF tags were obtained, and the average sequencing depth of the SLAF tags was 20.80×. After filtering, a total of 46,187 high-consistency genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected. Based on all SNPs, the population size of the nine P. echinogaster geographical populations was large. The Shantou population had the lowest genetic diversity, and the Tianjin population had the highest. Moreover, the population genetic structure based on all SNPs revealed significant gene exchange and no significant genetic differentiation among the nine P. echinogaster geographical populations, probably because of the population expansion after the last glacial period, the lack of balance between migration and genetic drift, and the long-distance diffusion of eggs and larvae. We suspect that variation of material metabolism, ion transfer, breeding, stress response, and inflammatory reactions-related genes were critical for adaptation to spatially heterogeneous temperature selection in natural P. echinogaster populations.

Research on fish identification in tropical waters under unconstrained environment based on transfer learning - Shan Zhang; Weifang Liu; Yupeng Zhu; Wei Han; Yi Huang; Jianqiang Li (Earth Science Informatics, 2022)
Seafloor unconstrained environment video is shot in uncontrolled open sea area. There are multiple backgrounds, complex illumination and weather changes, and rapid growth of algae and attached lenses, which affect the stability of video shooting quality, resulting in difficulty in image recognition. At present, there is still no algorithm that is superior to other methods generally, and it is necessary to build a model combined with specific scenes and applications. In this paper, a fish identification method in tropical waters based on transfer learning under unconstrained environment is proposed. Firstly, the image is pre-processed by affine transformation to realize data enhancement. Furthermore, RestNet50 deep convolutional neural network is constructed based on transfer learning to compare the effect of fish recognition before and after transfer learning. The results show that, the accuracy and loss indicators are better than those of non-transfer learning when the trained model of imagenet is introduced as the initial weight of the network. When the model is trained to 150 epochs, the indicators begin to converge, which can better complete the fish identification task in tropical waters under unconstrained environment.

Functional Characterization and Molecular Marker Development of the Proenkephalin as Biomarker of Food Addiction in Food Habit Domestication of Mandarin Fish (Siniperca chuatsi) - Yingcen Li; Yunliang Miao; Xufang Liang; Shan He (Fishes, 2022)
Proenkephalin (PENK), as the precursor of endogenous opioid enkephalin (ENK), is widely present in the nervous system and plays an important role in animal food addiction and rewarding behavior. In our study, we intend to study the functional characterization and molecular marker development of the penk gene related to food habit domestication of mandarin fish. We found that the penk gene of mandarin fish had three types of endogenous opioid peptide sequences. Compared with other tissues, penk mRNA was highly expressed in the whole brain. Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of lysine or methionine significantly increased the expression of penk mRNA. The expression of penk mRNA in the brain of mandarin fish that could be easily domesticated from eating live prey fish to artificial diets was significantly higher than those that could not. After feeding with high-carbohydrate artificial diets, the expression of penk mRNA showed no significant difference between mandarin fish with hypophagia and those that still ate normally. A total of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) loci related to easy domestication toward eating artificial diets were screened from the mandarin fish population. Additionally, the TT genotype at one of the loci was significantly correlated with the food habit domestication of mandarin fish.

Attribution of the seasonality of atmospheric heating changes over the western tropical Pacific with a focus on the spring season - Shuheng Lin; Song Yang; Shan He; Zhenning Li; Jiaxin Chen; Wenjie Dong; Jiaxue Wu (Climate Dynamics, 2022)
Atmospheric diabatic heating, a major driving force of atmospheric circulation over the tropics, is strongly confined to the tropical western North Pacific (TWNP) region, with the global warmest sea surface temperature (SST). The changes in diabatic heating over the TWNP, which exert great impacts on the global climate system, have recently exhibited a noticeable seasonal dependence with a remarkable increase in boreal spring. In this study, we applied observations, reanalysis data, and numerical experiments to investigate the causes of the seasonality in heating changes. Results show that in boreal spring convection is more sensitive to the TWNP SST, leading to a more significant enhancement of deep convection, although the increase in the SST is nearly the same as that in the other seasons. In the non-spring seasons, the enhanced convection due to increased local SST is suppressed by the anomalous anticyclonic wind shear over the TWNP, generated by the easterly wind anomalies induced by the tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) warming via the Kevin waves. However, the TIO warming does not show any suppressing effect in spring because it is much weaker than that in the other seasons and thus the warming itself cannot induce sufficient convective heating anomalies to excite the Kelvin waves.

SSR Marker-Based Genetic Resource Assessment of the Rainbow Clam Moerella iridescens Along the Coasts of China: Implications for Strategy of Conservation Management - Xiaoying Li; Shan Gao; Manman Zhao; Zhiguo Dong (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
This study aims to determine the genetic structure of rainbow clam Moerella iridescens in different sea areas of China. Seventeen pairs of microsatellite primers (SSR) were used to amplify the SSRs of rainbow clam in Lianyungang of Haizhou Bay, Chongming of Shanghai, Ningde of Fujian, Daishan of Zhoushan, and Cixi and Wenzhou of Zhejiang. A total of 1,146 alleles were detected in 310 individuals from the 17 SSR loci. The average observed heterozygosity of six populations was 0.4381−0.6139, the average expected heterozygosity was 0.5897−0.7325, and the average Shannon diversity index was 1.2655−1.7998. The clams exhibited rich genetic diversity, and the F ST of the genetic differentiation index of the six populations was 0.0470, indicating low genetic differentiation among the populations. The results indicated that rainbow clams along the coasts of China exhibited high diversity and low population differentiation.

Classifications and Characteristics of Marine Heatwaves in the Northern South China Sea - Yinxia Wang; Jisheng Zeng; Zheng Wei; Shan Li; Song Tian; Fan Yang; Qidong Chen; Yinghui He (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The classifications and associated characteristics of marine heatwaves (MHWs) in the northern South China Sea (SCS) have been investigated. Based on the ratio of the area with MHWs to the total area of the northern SCS, the MHWs are divided into three categories, i.e., narrow coverage, moderate coverage, and wide coverage. Different kinds of MHWs (i.e., narrow coverage, moderate coverage, and wide coverage) contribute around 64, 28, and 8% to the total days with MHWs, respectively. Narrow coverage MHW scatters over the northern SCS continental shelf, and moderate (wide) coverage MHWs are concentrated east of Hainan Island (mid of northern SCS continental shelf). Wide coverage MHWs contribute more than 50% to the total MHW cumulative sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies. The cumulative days and temperature anomalies of all kinds of MHWs exhibit significant long-term trends and decadal variability.

Precision agriculture technology adoption: a qualitative study of small-scale commercial “family farms” located in the North China Plain - Helen Kendall; Beth Clark; Wenjing Li; Shan Jin; Glyn. D. Jones; Jing Chen; James Taylor; Zhenhong Li; Lynn. J. Frewer (Precision Agriculture, 2022)
Precision agriculture (PA) technologies offer a potential solution to food security and environmental challenges but, will only be successful if adopted by farmers. Adoption in China lags behind that in some developed agricultural economies despite scientifically proven benefits of PA technologies for Chinese agriculture. Adoption is dependent on farmer attitudes and perceptions towards PA technologies. An exploratory qualitative study using in-depth interviews was conducted with Chinese arable farmers (n = 27) to explore their perceptions towards and adoption intentions of PA technologies in two Chinese provinces (Hebei and Shandong). A thematic analysis revealed five central themes to have emerged from the data, these were: “socio-political landscape”, “farming culture”, “agricultural challenges”, “adoption intentions (barriers/facilitators” and “practical support mechanisms” . All were likely to influence the level and rate of adoption of PA technologies amongst family farmers in China. The research revealed an openness to the potential of PA technologies amongst family farmers, although there was heterogeneity in the perceptions of PA technology and willingness to adopt. Improved rates of adoption will be achieved by reducing the barriers to adoption, including the need for low-cost PA applications that can be applied at small scale, improved information provision, financial support mechanisms including more accessible subsidies and credit, and reliable, regulated and affordable service provision.

The potential importance of soil denitrification as a major N loss pathway in intensive greenhouse vegetable production systems - Waqas Qasim; Yiming Zhao; Li Wan; Haofeng Lv; Shan Lin; Gretchen M. Gettel; Klaus Butterbach-Bahl (Plant and Soil, 2022)
Background About 30 % of vegetables in China are produced in intensively managed greenhouses comprising flood irrigation and extreme rates of nitrogen fertilizers. Little is known about denitrification N losses. Methods Soil denitrification rates were measured by the acetylene inhibition technique applied to anaerobically incubated soil samples. Four different greenhouse management systems were differentiated: Conventional flood irrigation and over-fertilization (CIF, 800 kg N ha −1 , 460 mm); CIF plus straw incorporation (CIF+S, 889 kg N ha −1 , 460 mm); Drip fertigation with reduced fertilizer application rates (DIF, 314 kg N ha −1 , 190 mm); DIF plus straw incorporation (DIF+S, 403 kg N ha −1 , 190 mm). Soil denitrification was measured on nine sampling dates during the growing season (Feb 2019-May 2019) for the top-/ subsoil (0 – 20/ 20- 40 cm) and on three sampling dates for deep soils (40-60/ 80-100 cm). Data was used to constrain N-input-output balances of the different vegetable production systems. Results Rates of denitrification were at least one magnitude higher in topsoil than in sub- and deep soils. Total seasonal denitrification N losses for the 0 – 40 cm soil layer ranged from 76 (DIF) to 422 kg N ha −1 (CIF+S). Straw addition stimulated soil denitrification in top- and subsoil, but not in deep soil layers. Integrating our denitrification data (0-100 cm) with additional data on N leaching, N 2 O emissions, plant N uptake, and NH 3 volatilization showed, that on average 50 % of added N fertilizers are lost due to denitrification. Conclusions Denitrification is likely the dominant environmental N loss pathway in greenhouse vegetable production systems. Reducing irrigation and fertilizer application rates while incorporating straw in soils allows the reduction of accumulated nitrate.

Autophagy Inhibition Reduces Irradiation-Induced Subcortical White Matter Injury Not by Reducing Inflammation, but by Increasing Mitochondrial Fusion and Inhibiting Mitochondrial Fission - Yafeng Wang; Yiran Xu; Kai Zhou; Shan Zhang; Yong Wang; Tao Li; Cuicui Xie; Xiaoli Zhang; Juan Song; Xiaoyang Wang; Changlian Zhu (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Radiotherapy is an effective tool in the treatment of malignant brain tumors, but irradiation-induced late-onset toxicity remains a major problem. The purpose of this study was to investigate if genetic inhibition of autophagy has an impact on subcortical white matter development in the juvenile mouse brain after irradiation. Ten-day-old selective neural Atg7 knockout (KO) mice and wild-type (WT) littermates were subjected to a single 6-Gy dose of whole-brain irradiation and evaluated at 5 days after irradiation. Neural Atg7 deficiency partially prevented myelin disruption compared to the WT mice after irradiation, as indicated by myelin basic protein staining. Irradiation induced oligodendrocyte progenitor cell loss in the subcortical white matter, and Atg7 deficiency partly prevented this. There was no significant change between the KO and WT mice in the number of microglia and astrocytes in the subcortical white matter after irradiation. Transcriptome analysis showed that the GO mitochondrial gene expression pathway was significantly enriched in the differentially expressed genes between the KO and WT group after irradiation. Compared with WT mice, expression of the mitochondrial fusion protein OPA1 and phosphorylation of the mitochondrial fission protein DRP1 (P-DRP1) were dramatically decreased in KO mice under physiological conditions. The protein levels of OPA1and P-DRP1 showed no differences in WT mice between the non-irradiated group and the irradiated group but had remarkably increased levels in the KO mice after irradiation. These results indicate that inhibition of autophagy reduces irradiation-induced subcortical white matter injury not by reducing inflammation, but by increasing mitochondrial fusion and inhibiting mitochondrial fission.

Anti-lipopolysaccharide factor D from kuruma shrimp exhibits antiviral activity - Hai-Shan Jiang; Li-Xia Lv; Jin-Xing Wang (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2022)
Anti-lipopolysaccharide factors (ALFs) exhibit a potent antimicrobial activity against a broad range of bacteria, filamentous fungi, and viruses. In previous reports, seven groups of ALFs (groups A–G) were identified in penaeid shrimp. Among them, group D showed negative net charges and weak antimicrobial activity. Whether this group has antiviral function is not clear. In this study, the ALF sequences of penaeid shrimp were analyzed, and eight groups of ALF family (groups A–H) were identified. The four ALFs including MjALF-C2, MjALF-D1, MjALF-D2, and MjALF-E2 from kuruma shrimp Marsupenaeus japonicus were expressed recombinantly in Escherichia coli , and the antiviral activity was screened via injection of purified recombinant ALFs into shrimp following white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection. Results showed that the expression of Vp28 (WSSV envelope protein) decreased significantly in the MjALF-D2-injected shrimp only. Therefore, MjALF-D2 was chosen for further study. Expression pattern analysis showed that MjAlf-D2 was upregulated in shrimp challenged by WSSV. The WSSV replication was detected in RNA, genomic DNA, and protein levels using VP28 and Ie1 (immediate-early gene of WSSV) as indicators in MjALF-D2-injected shrimp following WSSV infection. Results showed that WSSV replication was significantly inhibited compared with that in the rTRX- or PBS-injected control groups. After knockdown of MjAlf-D2 in shrimp by RNA interference, the WSSV replication increased significantly in the shrimp. All these results suggested that MjALF-D2 has an antiviral function in shrimp immunity, and the recombinant ALF-D2 has a potential application for viral disease control in shrimp aquaculture.

Natural ingredient paeoniflorin could be a lead compound against white spot syndrome virus infection in Litopenaeus vannamei - Yang Hu; Lei Liu; Li‐peng Shan; Jiong Chen (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is an important pathogen causing high mortality in the shrimp industry in aquaculture, yet there is no treatment available to date. In order to find a treatment against WSSV infection, this study examined the anti‐WSSV activity of eight natural compounds using shrimp larvae as a model. Among the eight compounds, paeoniflorin showed the most obvious anti‐WSSV effect, with a maximum protection efficiency of WSSV‐infected shrimp >60% at 100 μM. Furthermore, pretreatment and post‐treatment experiments revealed that paeoniflorin could prevent and treat WSSV infection in shrimp. The antiviral activity of paeoniflorin in aquaculture water decreased rapidly with time, and the results showed that the stable anti‐WSSV activity of paeoniflorin could only remain in water for 1 day. Thus, the dosing pattern of continuous medication changes was evaluated. Obviously, in the model of continuous change of paeoniflorin, WSSV copy numbers in the virus‐treated shrimp group still progressively increased, while the virus content in WSSV paeoniflorin ‐treated group continued to decrease. Interestingly, paeoniflorin inhibited horizontal transmission of WSSV to a certain extent. Notably, paeoniflorin significantly increased the expression of antimicrobial peptides of shrimp to resist WSSV. In conclusion, paeoniflorin has the potential to protect shrimp against WSSV.

Metagenomic Insights into the Structure of Microbial Communities Involved in Nitrogen Cycling in Two Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) Ponds - Qian Liu; Junnan Li; Hongwei Shan; Yicheng Xie (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The microbial structure and metabolic potential, particularly with regard to nitrogen (N) cycling, in integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) ponds with shrimp remain unclear. In this study, an analysis of microbial community taxonomic diversity and a metagenomic analysis of N-related genes were performed in a shrimp-crab pond (Penaeus japonicus-Portunus trituberculatus, SC) and a shrimp-crab-clam pond (P. japonicus-P. trituberculatus-Sinonovacula constricta, SCC) to evaluate microbial structure and N transformation capacities in these two shrimp IMTA ponds. The composition of the microbial communities was similar between SC and SCC, but the water and sediments shared few common members in either pond. The relative abundances of N cycling genes were significantly higher in sediment than in water in both SC and SCC, except for assimilatory nitrate reduction genes. The main drivers of the differences in the relative abundances of N cycling genes in SC and SCC were salinity and pH in water and the NO2− and NH4+ contents of pore water in sediment. These results indicate that the coculture of S. constricta in a shrimp-crab pond may result in decreased N cycling in sediment. The reduced N flux in the shrimp IMTA ponds primarily originates within the sediment, except for assimilatory nitrate reduction.

Combined Use of eDNA Metabarcoding and Bottom Trawling for the Assessment of Fish Biodiversity in the Zhoushan Sea - Shan Zhou; Chenrong Fan; Haoming Xia; Jian Zhang; Wei Yang; Dengjie Ji; Lei Wang; Li Chen; Nannan Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
With the increase in fishing intensity and the intensification of marine pollution, the fishery resources in the Zhoushan Sea are seriously degraded, and the difficulty of censusing fish diversity hampers effective management in marine fishes. Environmental DNA metabarcoding and bottom trawl methods were used to determine the ability of the methods to distinguish fish assemblages in the Zhoushan Sea. The species composition and diversity of the Zhoushan Sea were assessed via high-throughput sequencing analysis of eDNA coupled with bottom trawl fishery survey data, after which the two methods were compared. eDNA screening identified 38.2% more fish species than bottom trawls. Combining these two methods, 33 orders, 65 families, and 130 species of fishes were identified. Perciformes and Clupeiformes, the most abundant orders in the catch, represented 31.5 and 10.0% of the total fish abundance, respectively. The results of ANOSIM and redundancy analyses indicated that the fish community structure varied significantly between summer and winter, however depth and temperature being the main environmental factors influencing fish distribution. The biodiversity index was higher in summer than in winter. Thus, our work provides more detailed seasonal data on biodiversity in the Zhoushan Sea, which is essential for the long-term management and conservation of coastal biodiversity. Compared with traditional survey methods, eDNA determination is highly sensitive, accurate, cost-efficient, and suitable for fish diversity studies in relevant sea areas. Although this approach cannot completely replace traditional methods, our findings demonstrate that it provides a reliable complementary method for assessing fish diversity in marine ecosystems.

(Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 2022)
Computerized interpretation of electrocardiogram plays an important role in daily cardiovascular healthcare. However, inaccurate interpretations lead to misdiagnoses and delay proper treatments. In this work, we built a high-quality Chinese 12-lead resting electrocardiogram dataset with 15,357 records, and called for a community effort to improve the performances of CIE through the China ECG AI Contest 2019. This dataset covers most types of ECG interpretations, including the normal type, 8 common abnormal types, and the other type which includes both uncommon abnormal and noise signals. Based on the Contest, we systematically assessed and analyzed a set of top-performing methods, most of which are deep neural networks, with both their commonalities and characteristics. This study establishes the benchmarks for computerized interpretation of 12-lead resting electrocardiogram and provides insights for the development of new methods.

Antiviral activity of esculin against white spot syndrome virus: A new starting point for prevention and control of white spot disease outbreaks in shrimp seedling culture - Li‐Peng Shan; Xu Zhang; Yang Hu; Lei Liu; Jiong Chen (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a pathogenic and threatening virus in shrimp culture for which there is no effective control strategy. Finding antiviral lead compounds for the development of anti‐WSSV drugs is urgent and necessary; in this study, esculin from 12 monomeric compounds exhibited an excellent anti‐WSSV activity. The results showed that esculin increased the survival rate of WSSV‐infected shrimps by 59% and reduced the virus copy number in vivo over 90% at 100 μM. In the pre‐treatment and post‐treatment experiments, esculin could prevent and treat WSSV infection. Compared with the control group, the virus copy number decreased by 30% after 6 h of esculin pre‐incubation with WSSV particles and inhibited horizontal transmission of WSSV to a certain extent. Considering that the antiviral activity of esculin was stable in the aquacultural water for 2 days, we evaluated the dosing pattern of continuous medication changes. Obviously, the survival rate of WSSV‐infected shrimps was 0% at 108 h when no esculin exchange was made, while at 120 h the survival rate was over 40% at continuous medicine changes. In addition, esculin significantly increased the expression of antimicrobial peptides and thus improved the ability of shrimp to resist WSSV. Overall, our findings suggest that esculin has the potential to be developed into an anti‐WSSV medicine.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Female and Male Fine-Patterned Puffer: Identification of Candidate Genes Associated with Growth and Sex Differentiation - Binbin Shan; Yan Liu; Changping Yang; Yuan Li; Liangming Wang; Dianrong Sun (Fishes, 2021)
Sexual growth dimorphism is a common phenomenon in teleost fish. However, the mechanism of this complex phenomenon remains unclear. The fine-patterned puffer (Takifugu poecilonotus; Temminck and Schlegel, 1850) exhibits female-biased sexual size dimorphism similar to other pufferfish. In this study, the transcriptomes of female and male T.poecilonotus were sequenced, 285.95 million raw read pairs were generated from sequence libraries. After identification and assembly, a total of 149,814 nonredundant unigenes were obtained with an N50 length of 3538 bp. Of these candidates, 122,719 unigenes (81.91% of the total) were successfully annotated with multiple public databases. The comparison analysis revealed 10,385 unigenes (2034 in females and 8351 in males) were differentially expressed between different sexes of T.poecilonotus. Then, we identified many candidate growth- and sex-related genes, including Dmrt1, Sox3, Spatas, Prl/Prlr, fabps, Ghr, and Igf1r. In addition to these well-known genes, Fabp4 was identified for the first time in fish. Furthermore, 68,281 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) loci were screened and identified in the transcriptome sequence of T.poecilonotus. The results of our study could provide valuable information on growth- and sex-associated genes and facilitate further exploration of the molecular mechanism of sexual growth dimorphism.

Therefore, based on analyzing the mineral composition of natural marine clay, it is the key to predict the dynamic properties of natural materials under cyclic loading by using quantitated artificial marine clay. In this study, the marine clay found in the South China Sea deltas was investigated. Based on the results of geological conditions and mineral composition analyses, raw non-clay minerals (such as quartz, albite) and clay minerals (such as Na-montmorillonite and kaolinite) were used to produce artificial marine clay, the dynamic properties of which were studied from the impact of mineral composition. Dynamic triaxial laboratory testing for artificial marine clay comprising various clay minerals was performed under identical test conditions. The artificial marine clay with high montmorillonite content exhibited slower development of strain, more sluggish growth in pore water pressure, more rounded hysteresis curves, greater stiffness, and more prolonged viscous energy growth than the clay with low montmorillonite content. In addition, the flocculated fabric of the artificial marine clay with high montmorillonite content demonstrated sufficient pore space changes, more uniform pore distribution, and larger specific surface area than the dispersed fabric of the clay with low montmorillonite content. The factors arising from the influence of montmorillonite may lead to microstructural and fabric changes, hinder the development of pore water, and increase intergranular contact stiffness as well as delay the cyclic strain amplitude at the breakpoint of viscous energy dissipation. In general, the results presented in this study confirm that clay minerals, especially montmorillonite, have significant influence on the dynamic properties of large strain.
