“…We also considered the effect of FA on immunity because of its critical role on health. Supplementary FA enhances the immune system in aquatic animals [6,29] and humans [30]. The increased immunoglobulin in maternal serum offer FA supplementation in the perinatal period could contribute to promoting the ewe's immunity during perinatal period and postpartum recovery.…”

“…FA also regulates mitochondrial biogenesis and function through changing the mitochondrial DNA content and gene expression levels to compensate tissue impairment [4]. FA contributes to increased antioxidant capacity in rats [5] and immunity in freshwater prawns [6]. Collectively, these functions suggest that FA is necessary in regulating the fetus or young animals' growth, development, and metabolism processes.…”

Simple Summary: Folic acid (FA) plays a critical role in regulating fetal development. Cause of the association between maternal metabolism and fetal development has created interest to study FA's effects on maternal blood metabolism and milk composition. FA was supplemented in the diet of ewes with different litter size during pregnancy and blood parameters, and milk composition was monitored. The results indicated that FA supplementation improved folate metabolism balance during gestation of prolific ewes, and contributed to the ewe's blood metabolism and health. In addition, immune-related compounds in milk were improved with dietary FA supplementation, thus, the newborn lamb should benefit from the improvement in milk quality. Abstract:The objective of the present study was to investigate the dynamic change of serum parameters and milk composition by dietary FA supplementation with ewes with different litter size from mating to lambing. The ewes were divided into six treatments (TW-CON, TW-F16, TW-F32, TR-CON, TR-F16, TR-F32) according to dietary FA levels (control, CON; 16 or 32 mg·kg −1 rumen-protect-FA supplementation, F16 and F32) and litter size (twin born, TW; and triplet born, TR). In serum, the concentration of folate increased linearly with dietary FA supplementation (P < 0.05), regardless of the litter size, they showed a quadratic response to gestation progression (P < 0.05). With dietary FA addition, IGFI-I levels significant increased from late gestation to after lambing (P < 0.05), and linearly increased immunoglobulin during the perinatal period (P < 0.05). In colostrum and milk at d 15, the content of folate, lactoferrin, and IgG were affected positively by FA supplementation (P < 0.05). IgG was higher in the TW group than TR in colostrum (P < 0.05), and lactoferrin in TW was lower than TR in milk of d 15 (P < 0.05). FA supplementation increased protein content in colostrum (P < 0.05), while it had no effect on the fat, lactose, and BUN of colostrum and milk of d 15 (P > 0.05). These results suggest that FA supplementation during gestation could regulate maternal blood metabolism and contribute to milk immune composition.

“…Recently, many studies have already reported the diversity of nutritional quality in aquatic animals, including Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala (Hussain et al 2018), Ctenopharyngodon idella (Xu et al 2018), Dicentrarchus labrax (Orban et al 2002), Ictalurus punctatus (Refaey et al 2018), Macrobrachium rosenbergii (Asaikkutti et al 2016), Pagellus bogaraveo (Castro et al 2018), Perca fluviatilis (Mairesse et al 2006), Portunus trituberculatus (He et al 2017). These studies not only provide more basic references for aquatic nutrition, food development and fish processing, but also provide more support to customers on how to choose their favourite food (He et al 2017).…”

Longfin batfish (Platax teira) is a coastal marine fish life. The aims of this study are to investigate the compositions and content of amino acid and fatty acid in three parts of P. teira. The results showed that P. teira muscle protein content was as high as 21.00%. For amino acid composition, seventeen kinds of amino acids were detected in three parts. The essential amino acid score (EAAS) and essential amino acids (EAA) / total amino acids (TAA) ratio of P. teira were both above 70 and 0.4. EAAS in the upper part of the abdominal muscle showed higher than those two parts. The content of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the upper part of the abdominal muscle was higher than that in other groups. No significant differences in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and n-3/n-6 were detected among three parts. Overall, the upper part of the abdominal muscle was thought to have a higher nutritious value. These results showed P. teira is a high quality marine fish with high protein content and low fat, abundant amino acids with proper proportion, however, it was regarded as an excellent breeding varieties.

Most host organisms undergo metabolic changes in response to pathogens, environmental cues or simply to boost their immunity. Metabolic modulation has therefore been exploited by both host and pathogens to outwit the other during host–pathogen interactions. Recent studies have revealed that a growing number of metabolites and metabolic processes in crustaceans are crucial in host–pathogen interactions. Here, we reviewed recent work on metabolic changes during immune response of crustaceans and the metabolic reprogramming that takes place in the host induced by pathogens, environmental cues or as a host strategy to withstand these changes or clear the pathogen. In aquaculture crustaceans, limited studies exist on this subject; hence, we will also highlight themes for possible future research on metabolite reprogramming and how this strategy can be leveraged to improve sustainable aquaculture and enhance crustaceans’ response to pathogens and environmental changes.
