Effect of Dietary Restriction on Gut Microbiota and Brain-Gut Short Neuropeptide F in Mud Crab, Scylla paramamosain.

ABSTRACT: Aquatic animals frequently undergo feed deprivation and starvation stress. It is well-known that the gut microbiota and the gut-brain short neuropeptide F (sNPF) play essential roles in diet restriction. Therefore, investigating the responses of the gut microbiota and sNPF can enhance our understanding of physiological adaptations to feed deprivation and starvation stress. In this study, we examined the alterations in the gut microbiota of juvenile mud crabs under feed deprivation and starvation conditions. The results reveal differences in the richness and diversity of gut microbiota among the satisfied, half food, and starvation groups. Moreover, the microbial composition was affected by starvation stress, and more than 30 bacterial taxa exhibited significantly different abundances among
