Transcriptomic Modulation Reveals the Specific Cellular Response in Chinese Sea Bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) Gills under Salinity Change and Alkalinity Stress.

ABSTRACT: Salinity and alkalinity are among the important factors affecting the distribution, survival, growth and physiology of aquatic animals. Chinese sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) is an important aquaculture fish species in China that can widely adapt to diverse salinities from freshwater (FW) to seawater (SW) but moderately adapt to highly alkaline water (AW). In this study, juvenile L. maculatus were exposed to salinity change (SW to FW) and alkalinity stress (FW to AW). Coordinated transcriptomic responses in L. maculatus gills were investigated and based on the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), 8 and 11 stress-responsive modules (SRMs) were identified for salinity change and alkalinity stress, respectively, which revealed a cascade of cellular resp
