Over the past 50 years, red sea bream Pagrus major has been selectively bred for more than 10 generations to improve its growth rate. However, the effect of genetic factors on growth under low- or non-fish meal diet is still unclear. Here, we analyzed 251 individuals randomly mating 21 females (dam) and 16 males (sire) to determine the difference in growth between non-fish meal (i.e., treatment group) and fish meal-based diet (i.e., control group), if any. The kinship coefficient between each group of individuals and their parents was estimated by the KING (Kinship-based Inference for GWASs) software package. The presumed parents of 74 individuals in the treatment group and 57 individuals in the control group could be effectively identified. Notably, one specific female was consistently related to high- rather than low-growth individuals in both groups. In addition, more than one parent in each group was related to either high- or low-growth individuals. Parents of both high-growth individuals in the treatment group and low-growth individuals in the control group were also identified. Although further study is required on various growth factors, this study suggests the possibility of selective breeding under non-fish meal diet.

We evaluated the effects of prebiotic (mannan oligosaccharides, Mos) and probiotic diet supplements on growth performance, innate immunity, antioxidant activity, and intestinal changes in the microbial flora of red seabream Pagrus major. A basal diet (Con) was formulated to meet the nutrient requirement of red seabream. The dietary starch in Con was replaced with 0.6% Mos, Lactobacillus plantarum, Bacillus subtilis, B. licheniformis and probiotic mixture (labeled as Mos, Pro-LP, Pro-BS, Pro-BL and Pro-Mix, respectively). We stocked 450 fish in 18 polypropylene tanks (400 L) in triplicate groups per dietary treatment. The fish were fed one of the diets twice (08:30, 18:30 h) a day for 63 days. Lysozyme activity was significantly higher in all the supplemented groups than that of the Con group. The immunoglobulin level of Pro-Mix, anti-protease activity of Pro-BL, and glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activity of Pro-BS, Pro-BL and Pro-Mix groups were significantly higher than those of the Con group. The ratio of total Vibrio/heterotrophic marine bacteria counts was significantly lower in Pro-LP, Pro-BL and Pro-Mix groups than that of the Con group. Therefore, dietary supplementation of Mos and probiotics to improves immune response and antioxidant enzyme activity and inhibits Vibrio bacteria in the intestine.

In this study, using a continuous behavior measurement technique, the short-term behavioral responses and tolerance limits of red seabream Pagrus major fingerlings to sudden exposure to low salinity in a controlled environment were observed. The activity of the fingerlings suddenly exposed to 21.4, 17.3, and 9.8 psu increased temporarily at the initial exposure to show irregular swimming behavior, but then recovered a stable activity pattern through rapid salinity adaptation. However, the organisms suddenly exposed to 7.3 and 4.3 psu could not withstand the salinity stress, and their swimming behavior was severely disturbed and all individuals died within 48 hours. The findings suggest that red seabream underwent a temporary salinity stress process at the beginning of the exposure to concentrations of 10.0 psu or higher. At these concentrations, osmotic control was possible within at least 11 hours, so stable metabolic activity was also possible. However, organisms suddenly exposed to concentrations below 5.0 psu exceeded the tolerance to low salinity and the sublethal limit. In red seabream exposed to this concentration range, severe behavioral and metabolic disturbances were observed, and death was observed due to osmotic control failure. In conclusion, a salinity range of 5.0 to 10.0 psu can be predicted to correspond to a concentration range in which the osmotic control ability of the red seabream fingerlings is lost, and sub-lethal reactions occur.

In this study, the correlation between clinical changes and RSIV genome copy number was investigated to determine the quantitative criteria for the characteristics of RSIV infection. The rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) was intraperitoneally injected with three different doses (1.0×10¹, 1.0×10³ and 1.0×10⁵ viral genome copies/fish) as low, medium, and high doses, respectively. The clinical signs (spleen enlargement, death) observation and real-time PCR were conducted at 5, 10 and 14 days post-injection. During the experiment, spleen index as a quantitative indicator for spleen enlargement was continuously increased in the medium- (up to 2.26) and high-dose (up to 4.99) challenge groups, respectively. Notably, when the spleen index was over 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0, a positive correlation was revealed with average viral genome copy numbers of 2.51, 3.37, 4.97 and 5.43×10⁷ viral genome copies/mg, respectively. Moreover, the threshold of spleen index over 1.5 was 1.0×10⁶ viral genome copies/mg, while the thresholds of spleen index over 2.0 and dead was 2.51×10⁷ viral genome copies/mg and the thresholds of spleen index over 2.5 and 3 was 3.98×10⁷ viral genome copies/mg. These findings suggest the possibility of quantitatively analyzing the characteristics and development process of RSIV infection.

In this study, we analyzed the phylogenetic classification, epitope prediction, and pathogenicity of red sea bream iridovirus (RSIV) isolated from rock bream between 2019 and 2023. Phylogenetics based on genes encoding MCP and ATPase indicated that all five RSIV isolates belonged to RSIV subtype II. The deduced amino acid sequence of the MCP for the amplicons (1362 bp) obtained from RSIV isolates had a length of 453 amino acids. Among these, the amino acid sequences of the RSIV-19, 21, 22, and 23 isolates showed 100% identity, while the RSIV-20 isolate showed 99.78% identity with one residue difference at position 306. As a result of antigenicity analysis based on amino acid sequence, the antigenicity score of the RSIV-20 isolate was 0.6386 and the other RSIV isolates were 0.6365. Additionally, the prediction of their antigenic determinants resulted in a total of 17 identical antigenic plots. When each RSIV was inoculated into rock bream, no significant differences were observed with 100% cumulative mortality in all groups. This study provides data on the potential for genetic variation of RSIV isolated in the same marine area over the past five years, and the antigenicity and pathogenicity results of each isolate are expected to be useful information for selecting future vaccine strains.

This study evaluated the effects of defatted and non-defatted black soldier fly meal (BSFM) as a fish meal replacement in growing red seabream. Four isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated: 0% BSFM (D1), 5% defatted BSFM (D2), 5% non-defatted BSFM (D3), and 5% defatted + non-defatted BSFM (1:1, D4). A total of 360 growing red seabreams (mean ± SD body weight, 98.9±0.29 g) were equally distributed into 12 circular polyethylene tanks (1,000 L; 30 fish per tank; N=3 tanks per treatment). The red seabream were fed until satiation twice daily for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, growth, feed utilization, whole-body proximate composition, blood parameters, and immune related parameters were measured. No significant differences were observed in weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, morphological parameters, plasma metabolites, plasma lysozyme, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase among the experimental groups. However, immunoglobulin M (IgM) in fish fed D2 and D3 were significantly higher than those in fish fed D1. Additionally, the fish in D2 group showed higher IgM levels than those in the other treatment groups. These results indicate that defatted and non-defatted BSFM could be utilized as a potential feed ingredient for fishmeal replacement for red seabream.

Growth performances of the selected and the non-selected red sea bream (Pagrus major) lines were evaluated up to marketable size. The offspring were mass-produced either from the selected line (the fourth generation of broods from mass selection) or the non-selected line (the second generation of wild broods). Early (59 to 103 days old, trial I) and late growth performances (4 to 24 months old, trial II) were evaluated based on communal rearing in land-based tanks and sea cages, respectively. In trial I, the selected line exhibited significantly higher values in both weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) when compared to those observed in the non-selected line (P<0.05). In trial II comprising of three growth phases (4-9, 9-16 and 16-24 months old), selected line showed only slightly improved in WG and SGR at the beginning two growth phases (4-9 and 9-16 months old) (P>0.05), however, displayed significantly higher values at the last growth phase (16-24 months old) (P<0.05). Overall WG and SGR throughout the experiment (4-24 months) were also significantly higher in the selected line than the non-selected line (P<0.05). Consequently, mean body weight of the selected line at 24 months old was 1.4-fold (40.8{\%}\;increased) as compared to that of the non-selected line. This present result indicates that mass selection of this species against the growth traits might be quite effective, and the present advance has important Implication in the productivity enhancement of red sea bream aquaculture.
