 Abstract

Significant increases in global sea surface temperatures are expected with climate change and may cause a serious challenge for marine organisms cultured in aquatic environments that are characterized by short and long-term fluctuations in water temperatures. Apostichopus japonicus, a sea cucumber with high nutritional value and pharmacological properties, is an important economic species that is widely raised in aquaculture in China. In recent years, continuous extreme high temperatures (up to 30°C) have occurred frequently in summer leading to mass mortality of sea cucumbers cultured in semi-open shallow regions seriously restricting the sustainable development of sea cucumber aquaculture. In the present study, we combined RNA-seq and PacBio single-molecular real-time (SMRT) sequencing technology to unveil the potential mechanisms of response to acute heat stress in A. japonicus coelomocytes. A total of 1,375 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in a comparison of control and 48 h heat stress (HS) groups.
