Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Life originated in the sea more than three billion years ago, and has been evolving ever since. Marine invertebrates have long fascinated researchers due to their abundance, diversity, and adaptations. The purpose of this invited Special Issue is to publish the most exciting research with respect to the above subjects, provide a rapid turnaround time regarding reviewing and publishing, and disseminate the articles freely for research, teaching, and reference purposes.

High-quality papers that are directly related to various aspects, as mentioned below, are encouraged for publication. Novel techniques for studies are encouraged.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

In the current study, we first cloned and confirmed the ORF sequences of the ion-transportation-related genes Na+/K+-ATPase α subunit (NKAα), cytoplasmic carbonic anhydrase (CAc), and V-type H+ [...] Read more.
Euryhaline crustaceans cope with external salinity changes by mechanisms of osmoregulation. In the current study, we first cloned and confirmed the ORF sequences of the ion-transportation-related genes Na+/K+-ATPase α subunit (NKAα), cytoplasmic carbonic anhydrase (CAc), and V-type H+-ATPase G subunit (VHA-G), and water channels of aquaporins (AQP3, AQP4, and AQP11) from kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicus). Further tissue expression patterns showed a higher expression of MjAQP4, MjCAc, MjNKAα, and MjVHA-G in the gills, as well as a higher expression of MjAQP3 and MjAQP11 in the intestine and muscle, respectively. Then, qPCR analysis was used to assess the mRNA expression levels of those osmoregulatory genes in both post-larvae and adult shrimp when they were exposed to acute salinity stress or salinity acclimation. The results revealed significantly decreased expression levels of MjAQP3, MjAQP11, MjNKAα, and MjCAc, and higher expression levels of MjAQP4 and MjVHA-G when the post-larvae shrimp were directly subjected to 10‰ or 50‰ salinity. Moreover, similar expression patterns were also observed in the post-larvae shrimp during the accommodation to 10‰ or 50‰ salinity. As to the adult shrimp, significantly higher expression levels of those genes were observed in the gills after exposure to 10‰ salinity, whereas only the expression levels of MjAQP3, MjAQP11, and MjNKAα were up-regulated in the gills at 40‰ salinity. In contrast, the expression of MjVHA-G was significantly decreased at 40‰ salinity. Finally, during the acclimation to 10‰ salinity, the expression levels of MjAQP3, MjAQP11, and MjNKAα were also significantly elevated, while the expression of MjCAc was significantly decreased in the gills. In addition, the expression levels of MjAQP3, MjAQP4, MjCAc, and MjVHA-G were significantly decreased in the gills during the acclimation to 55‰ salinity. The findings of the study suggest that the examined genes are critical for the adaptation of aquatic crustaceans to changing environmental salinity. Our study lays as the foundation for further research on osmoregulation mechanisms in M. japonicus. Full article
