Influence of host phylogeny and water physicochemistry on microbial assemblages of the fish skin microbiome

Researchers conducted a large-scale analysis of nearly 2,000 fish skin microbiome samples across 98 species to understand what factors shape microbial communities on fish surfaces. They found that host evolutionary history and water chemistry, particularly salinity and temperature, were the strongest predictors of skin microbiome composition. The study provides a broad framework for understanding how environmental stressors, including pollutants, may disrupt the beneficial microbial communities on fish.

Effects of different temperatures on Leiocassis longirostris gill structure and intestinal microbial composition

Researchers exposed a freshwater catfish species to cold (4°C), normal (26°C), and hot (32°C) water temperatures and found that both extremes damaged gill tissue and disrupted the balance of gut bacteria, with cold stress causing a larger shift toward opportunistic pathogens. The findings reveal how temperature stress compromises fish immune health, relevant as climate change increases the frequency of extreme weather events.

Immunonutrition: facilitating mucosal immune response in teleost intestine with amino acids through oxidant-antioxidant balance

This review explores how specific amino acids can boost the immune response in the intestines of fish by modulating oxidative stress and antioxidant balance. Researchers found that nutrients like glutamine, arginine, and tryptophan help strengthen the mucosal immune barrier in the fish gut, which is important for disease resistance in aquaculture. While focused on fish health, the findings contribute to broader understanding of how nutrition influences gut immunity across species.

Immune and Oxidative Stress Response of the Fish Xyrichthys novacula Infected with the Trematode Ectoparasite Scaphanocephalus sp. in the Balearic Islands

Researchers studied the immune and oxidative stress responses of the fish Xyrichthys novacula infected with a parasitic trematode in the Balearic Islands. They found that as infection severity increased, antioxidant enzyme activity and immune markers rose progressively in the fish's skin mucus, though these defenses were insufficient to prevent oxidative damage at high infection levels. The study provides baseline data on how parasitic infections stress wild fish populations in Mediterranean waters.

Ecological Toxicity, Oxidative Stress and Impacts of Microplastics on Fish Gills

This review summarizes research on how microplastic exposure damages fish gills, a critical organ for breathing, waste removal, and maintaining body chemistry. Researchers found that microplastics cause oxidative stress, DNA damage, and structural changes to gill tissue, which can impair blood parameters and overall fish health. The findings highlight that gill damage from microplastics may be a widespread concern for freshwater and marine fish populations.

Organ-specific Microplastic Accumulation and Associated Oxidative Stress and Immune Responses in Barbonymus gonionotus from Downstream Bengawan Solo River, Indonesia

Researchers examined microplastic accumulation and associated biological stress responses in wild fish from the Bengawan Solo River in Indonesia. They found that gills accumulated the most microplastics, with evidence of particles translocating to muscle tissue, and observed elevated markers of immune activation and oxidative stress. The study suggests that combining particle characterization with biological measurements provides a sensitive framework for monitoring microplastic impacts on freshwater fish.

Exposure to polypropylene microplastics via diet and water induces oxidative stress in Cyprinus carpio

Researchers fed carp fish polypropylene microplastics through both food and water and found that exposure caused oxidative stress in the liver, gills, and intestines. The damage was dose-dependent, with higher microplastic concentrations causing more harm to the fish's antioxidant defense systems. Since carp is a widely consumed fish, these findings raise questions about whether microplastics in aquaculture could affect the safety of fish as human food.
