1. Tadanori Yamaguchi, Katsumi Takayama, Naoki Hirose, Michiya Matsuyama, Relationship between empirical water temperature and spring characteristicsof swordtip squid (Uroteuthis edulis) caught in the eastern Tsushima Strait, MARINE BIOLOGY RESEARCH, doi.org/10.1080/17451000.2020.1712420, 2020.01, We analysed the data of swordtip squid Uroteuthis edulis caught in the eastern Tsushima Strait, from April to September between 2012 and 2018, to consider the relationships among mantle length and body and gonad weights, associated with the estimated seasonal migratory routes and itineraries improved by the quantitative results of the tracer experiments. Our analyses have enabled us to reveal the characteristics of kensaki-type squid and the reasons for their appearance. We identified the kensaki-type U. edulis as male individuals, caught mainly in April–June, with long slender bodies, probably adapted to empirical duration of the cold sea water temperature in the Sea of Amakusa. Researchers and fishermen have referred to the seasonal migrating group including such males as a spring-migrating group. However, the females belonging to the spring-migrating group had no kensaki-type characteristics. Moreover, contrary to that achieved by the males, the female squid had acquired greater maturation in the spring than in any other seasons. These data demonstrated that the females continued to grow to maturation even in the cold sea waters, implying a different female strategy for reproduction from that of male squid. We are concerned that the commercially valuable kensaki-type squid may decrease in the future because the water temperature in the northern East China Sea is gradually rising, probably due to global climate change..

Sakaguchi K, Yoneda M, Sakai N, Nakashima K, Kitano H, Matsuyama M, Comprehensive Experimental System for a Promising Model Organism Candidate for Marine Teleosts, Scientific Reports, org/10.1038/ s41598-019-41468-8, 9, Article number 4948, 2019.03, A comprehensive experimental system for Japanese anchovy, a promising candidate model organism for marine teleosts, was established. Through the design of a rearing/spawning facility that controls the photoperiod and water temperature, one-cell eggs were continuously obtained shortly after spawning throughout the rearing period. The stages of eggs are indispensable for microinjection experiments, and we developed an efficient and robust microinjection system for the Japanese anchovy. Embryos injected with GFP mRNA showed strong whole-body GFP fluorescence and the survival rates of injected- and non-injected embryos were not significantly different, 87.5% (28 in 32 embryos) and 90.0% (45 in 50 embryos), respectively. We verified that the Tol2 transposon system, which mediates gene transfer in vertebrates, worked efficiently in the Japanese anchovy using the transient transgenesis protocol, with GFP or DsRed as the reporter gene. Finally, we confirmed that genome-editing technologies, namely Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALEN) and Clustered Regulatory Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9, were applicable to the Japanese anchovy. In practice, specific gene-disrupted fishes were generated in the F1 generation. These results demonstrated the establishment of a basic, yet comprehensive, experimental system, which could be employed to undertake experiments using the Japanese anchovy as a model organism for marine teleost fish..

Ohga H, Selvaraj S, Matsuyama M, The Roles of Kisspeptin System in the Reproductive Physiology of Fish with Special Reference to Chub Mackerel Studies as Main Axis, Frontiers in Endocrinology, 10.3389/fendo.2018.00147, 9, 1-15, 2018.10, Kisspeptin, a novel neuropeptide product of the Kiss1 gene, activates the G protein-coupled membrane receptor G protein-coupled receptor 54 (now termed Kiss1r). Over the last 15 years, the importance of the kisspeptin system has been the subject of much debate in the mammalian research field. At the heart of the debate is whether kisspeptin is an absolute upstream regulator of gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion, as it has been proposed to be the master molecule in reproductive events and plays a special role not only during puberty but also in adulthood. The teleostean kisspeptin system was first documented in 2004. Although there have been a number of kisspeptin studies in various fish species, the role of kisspeptin in reproduction remains a subject of controversy and has not been widely recognized. There is an extensive literature on the physiological and endocrinological bases of gametogenesis in fish, largely derived from studying small, model fish species, and reports on non-model species are limited. The reason for this discrepancy is the technical difficulty inherent in developing rigorous experimental systems in many farmed fish species. We have already established methods for the full life-cycle breeding of a commercially important marine fish, the chub mackerel (cm), and are interested in understanding the reproductive function of kisspeptins from various perspectives. Based on a series of experiments clarifying the role of the brain-pituitary-gonad axis in modulating reproduction in cm, we theorize that the kisspeptin system plays an important role in the reproduction of this scombroid species. In this review article, we provide an overview of kisspeptin studies in cm, which substantially aids in elucidating the role of kisspeptins in fish reproduction..

11. Lumayno SDP, Hirofumi Ohga, Sethu Selvaraj, Mitsuo Nyuji, Akihiko Yamaguchi, Michiya Matsuyama, Molecular characterization and functional analysis of pituitary GnRH receptor in a commercial scombroid fish, chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus), General and Comparative Endocrinology, 10.1016/j.ygcen.2017.01.027, 247, 143-151, 2017.06, The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is essential during pubertal onset, for its regulation of the synthesis and release of pituitary gonadotropins. Its action is mediated by GnRH receptors (GnRHRs) in the pituitary gonadotrophs. Our previous study demonstrated that the chub mackerel brain expresses three GnRH forms (gnrh1, gnrh2, and gnrh3), and that only GnRH1 neurons innervate anterior pituitary regions. Furthermore, chub mackerel gnrh1 mRNA exhibited a significant increase at pubertal onset. The present study aimed to isolate the functional GnRHR form involved in chub mackerel puberty. The open reading frame of our cloned receptor encodes 428 amino acids and contains seven transmembrane domains. Phylogenetic analysis also indicated clustering with other teleost-type IIB GnRHRs, mainly those involved in reproduction. Reporter gene assay results showed that all four synthetic peptides (GnRH1, GnRH2, GnRH3, and GnRH analogue) bind to the cloned receptor. Three deduced GnRH ligands stimulated luteinizing hormone (LH) release from cultured pituitary cells in vitro. Receptor gene expression was mainly detected in the pituitary and showed an increasing trend in the developing gonadal stages of both sexes during the pubertal process; this process was synchronous with previous studies of follicle-stimulating hormone beta (fshβ) and lhβ gene expression in chub mackerel. These results suggest that the cloned receptor is likely involved in the regulation of pubertal onset in this species. Therefore, we have designated the receptor cmGnRHR1..

Hirofumi Ohga, Hayato Adachi, Hajime Kitano, Akihiko Yamaguchi, Michiya Matsuyama, Kiss1 hexadecapeptide directly regulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone 1 in the scombroid fish, chub mackerel, Biology of Reproduction, 10.1095/biolreprod.116.142083, 96, 2, 376-388, 2017.02, Here we report that the Kiss1 hexadecapeptide (Kiss1-16) directly regulates the functional form of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the preoptic area (POA) of a scombroid fish model. In this study, we analyzed the localization of two kisspeptin (kiss1 and kiss2) neurons and two kisspeptin receptors (kissr1 and kissr2) in the brain of adult chub mackerel using in situ hybridization to determine whether the kisspeptin receptors co-localize with GnRH1 neurons. The kiss1-and kiss2-expressing neurons were mainly localized in the nucleus recessus lateralis (NRL) and the nucleus of the posterior recess (NRP) in the hypothalamus. Kissr1 was present in the anterior POA and the habenular nucleus. Kissr2 was widely distributed, including in the POA, lateral tuberal nucleus, NRL, and NRP. Notably, GnRH1 was expressed in neurons in the POA, and these neurons co-expressed kissr1. In contrast, kissr2 was expressed abundantly in the vicinity of GnRH1 neurons, but their co-expression did not seem to occur. We also characterized the endogenous mature form of the Kiss1 peptide. An in vitro reporter gene assay clearly showed that Kiss1-16 (HQDMSSYNFNSFGLRY-NH2) was more potent at receptor activation than Kiss1 pentadecapeptide (Kiss1-15), which is the form of Kiss1 found in other fish species. This study strongly suggests that kisspeptin signaling, especially Kiss1 signaling, is important for regulating reproduction in scombroid fish..
