Abstract

The velocity of water can cause differences in the growth of inhabitant fish, thereby functioning as an important aquatic environmental factor. In order to explore the response mechanism of Leopard Coralgrouper (Plectropomus leopardus) under different flow velocities, P. leopardus fish of the same sizes were fed in water characterized by three different flow rates (5 cm/s, 10 cm/s, and 20 cm/s) for 150 d, after which the differences in growth and the levels of liver oxidative stress kinase were analyzed. Additionally, potential underlying regulatory pathways were explored using comparative transcriptomic approaches. The results showed that in the feeding environment involving a flow rate of 10 cm/s, the weight increase of P. leopardus and its liver contents of glutathione peroxidase (GPX), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) were significantly higher than for the other two groups. After matching the comparative transcriptomic results between group pairs (5 cm/s and 10 cm/s, 5 cm/s and 20 cm/s, and 10 cm/s and 20 cm/s), a total of 225 common differential gene expressions were screened. The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that these genes were mainly involved in protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, the TGF-β signaling pathway, fatty acid metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, and other pathways. These results not only provide a theoretical basis for the selection of flow velocity in the culture environment of P. leopardus, but also reveal its potential means of adaption to different flow velocities.
