Researchers at Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Publish New Study Findings on Fisheries Research (Transcriptomics and metabolomics reveal the regulation of reproductive performance and egg quality of blotched snakehead Channa maculata...).

A study conducted by researchers at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in China examined the effects of dietary protein on the reproductive performance, egg quality, and larval health of the blotched snakehead fish. The study found that a high protein diet significantly improved maternal fecundity, egg size, and offspring health. The diet also affected the levels of certain hormones and enzymes in the fish. The researchers concluded that the high protein diet influenced reproductive processes and egg quality by upregulating certain signaling pathways and metabolic processes. The study provides valuable insights into the factors that affect the reproductive success of this fish species. [Extracted from the article]
