contents Brine Shrimp Feeding Contributes to Fast Growth and Enhanced Immune Capacity of Reattached Polyps of Scleractinian Coral . Huang, Haifeng Wang, Yi Liu, Zhaoqun Reef restoration is the major way to compensate the loss of scleractinian corals, which requires huge amounts of transplantation donors. Previous study revealed that some species of corals can conduct polyp bailout and reattachment under environmental stress, which contributes to the living of coral communities and offer a novel way to produce numerous coral colonies for reef restoration. In the present study, physiological and transcriptomic approaches were conducted to illustrate the effects and molecular mechanisms of brine shrimp feeding on the newly attached polyps of coral . It was observed that brine shrimp feeding significantly prompted the growth of reattached polyps by elevating polyp diameter, number of new polyps, weight of the calcified skeleton, symbiont density, chlorophyll content and Ea values. Transcriptomic analysis also inferred that signaling pathways responsive for energy metabolism, cell growth and biomineralization were dramatically activated. Furthermore, brine shrimp feeding enhanced the immunity of the reattached polyps by suppressing caspase-3 activation level and elevating antioxidant capacity. These results collectively reveals the influence and detailed molecular mechanisms of brine shrimp feeding on the growth of newly reattached coral polyps, which shed light on the potential application of such methods in the cultivation of coral transplantation donors.
