Bcl-2-like protein 13 (Bcl2l13) plays an important role in the cell apoptosis and mitochondrial autophagy of mammals. However, the role of bcl2l13 remains unclear in fish. Therefore, in this study, the function of Megalobrama amblycephala bcl2l13 gene in apoptosis and autophagy was investigated. The results showed that the overexpression of M. amblycephala bcl2l13 under hypoxic condition led to a reduction of reactive oxygen s...

The diploids and tetraploids of cyprinid loach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus coexist in many natural habits. The tetraploids generally exhibit superior growth performance and delayed gonadal development compared with diploids. To investigate the regulation mechanism of growth superiority and ovarian development in tetraploids, we first conducted a long-term culture experiment and histological observation. The tetraploids exhibite...

The correlations between the planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) and surface meteorological factors, including the surface wind speed ( R WS ), temperature ( R TS ), specific humidity ( R SH ), pressure ( R PS ), and lower tropospheric stability ( R LTS ), are investigated using hourly profiles from the Aircraft Meteorological Data Reports at 54 major airports over the contiguous United States (CONUS) and surface observatio...

Aquaculture is one of the fast‐growing industries in the past decades. The fast expansion of aquaculture largely relies on the introduction and use of non‐native species. This forms a paradox: some species significantly contribute to the fast expansion of aquaculture, while negative effects associated with unregulated introduction and irresponsible use of non‐native species are increasing in number and area affected. However,...
