Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) holds a distinguished position in the realm of freshwater fisheries, aquaculture and ecological research. As a species of paramount importance across the globe, their adaptability and economic value underline their significance in both natural habitats and controlled environments. This Special Issue aims to encapsulate the multifaceted dimensions of rainbow trout research, ranging from genetic enhancements, disease resistance and nutritional advancements to sustainable aquaculture practices. Through a curated selection of cutting-edge research articles, we aspire to shed light on the latest scientific breakthroughs that are setting new frontiers in the study and cultivation of rainbow trout. Our objective is to provide a comprehensive overview that not only advances the current body of knowledge, but also inspires innovative approaches to address the ongoing challenges faced in rainbow trout research and aquaculture. We welcome contributions that explore novel methodologies, interdisciplinary studies and reviews that forecast the future directions of rainbow trout studies.

This study evaluates the effects of dietary Clostridium butyricum on growth performance and intestinal health in triploid rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Administered in a 12-week trial, five isonitrogenous and isolipidic feeds contained different C. butyricum levels [G1 (0), G2 (1.6 × 106 CFU/g), G3 (1.2 × 107 CFU/g), G4 (1.1 × 108 CFU/g), and G5 (1.3 × 109 CFU/g)]. Significant enhancements in growth performance, including improved feed conversion ratios and specific growth rates in the G4 group, were indicative of enhanced nutrient utilization, corroborated by optimal digestive enzyme activity levels. Antioxidant capabilities were also enhanced in the G4 group, indicated by increased serum superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, along with a significant decrease in malondialdehyde levels. Gut microbiota analysis indicated a probiotic concentration-dependent modulation of microbial communities, with a marked enrichment in beneficial bacterial phyla like Firmicutes in the G4 group. This microbial shift correlated with significant downregulations in immune-related gene expressions, including interleukins (IL-1β, IL-8), NF-κB, MyD88, and TNF-α, highlighting an activated immune response. Correspondingly, serum lysozyme and immunoglobulin M contents were significantly elevated in the G4 group. Challenge tests with Aeromonas salmonicida exhibited the higher disease resistance of fish fed the G4 diet. In conclusion, the study shows the potential of dietary C. butyricum, especially at 1.1 × 108 CFU/g, in enhancing the growth, health, and disease resistance of triploid rainbow trout through modulating gut microflora and stimulating immune responses.
