Interactive effects of salinity and dietary lipid sources on growth, hepatic lipid metabolism, and transcriptomic profiles in spotted sea bass (<i>Lateolabrax maculatus</i>).

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the interactive effects of salinity and dietary lipid sources on growth performance, hepatic lipid metabolism, and the underlying molecular mechanisms in spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus). Fish were reared at 0‰ or 20‰ salinities and fed diets containing either fish oil (FO) or soybean oil (SO) for 126 days. Results demonstrated that rearing fish at 20‰ salinity significantly enhanced growth performance but concurrently increased hepatic lipid accumulation compared to rearing at 0‰ salinity. Under the same salinity conditions, dietary lipid sources had no significant effect on fish growth performance, however, compared to FO-based diet the SO-based diet significantly increased hepatic lipid accumulation. Salinity significantly enhanced the growth-promo
