摘要: Excessive ammonia triggered negative effects on aquatic animals' health, growth, and mass death, especially at different developmental periods. However, the underlying responses to ammonia stress in fish larvae and juveniles were much less explored. Transcriptomic analysis of Coilia nasus larvae and juveniles treated with ammonia stress and subsequent recovery in freshwater were performed. Total 958,213,132 clean reads were obtained. A total of 234,830 unigenes with an average length of 1397 bp and N50 value 2521 bp were assembled. 831 and 952 DEGs were identified in C. nasus larvae and juveniles, respectively. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that genes associated with purine metabolism, immune, inflammation, epigenetic modification, and nerve conduction presented different expression trends between C. nasus larvae and juveniles. Other genes related to purine metabolism (XDH) and epigenetic modifications (DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B) detected by RT-qPCR also displayed different expression trends. These results indicated that ammonia detoxify strategies and gene regulation patterns were different in C. nasus larvae and juveniles. Higher TNF-alpha, ILF-2, and ILF-3 expression and reduced LZM, AKP, and ACP activities suggested that inflammation and declined immunity were triggered by ammonia stress. Additionally, nervous conduction was severely affected under ammonia stress in C. nasus juveniles. Furthermore, recovery in freshwater had positive effects on nervous conduction. However, it was worth noting that reduced immunity and inflammation were still existed after recovery in freshwater. In conclusion, our study would be beneficial to reveal the different responses to ammonia stress between larvae and juveniles.
