The results demonstrated that dietary supplementation with 6% hydrolyzed collagen significantly increased muscle collagen content and collagen volume fraction (CVF) in both female and male fish ( p < 0.05). Furthermore, hydrolyzed collagen significantly enhanced muscle springiness in females, as well as springiness and chewiness in males ( p < 0.05). Multiomics analysis revealed substantial alterations in gene expression and DNA methylation: 1146 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 4655 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were identified in females, while 2460 DEGs and 5846 DMRs were detected in males. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that differentially methylated genes (DMGs) in females were predominantly associated with pathways related to muscle cell morphology and differentiation, such as “regulation of actin cytoskeleton.” In contrast, DMGs in males were significantly enriched in pathways governing cell proliferation, adhesion, and migration, such as “MAPK signaling pathway” and “focal adhesion.” Integrative analysis of RNA sequencing (RNA‐seq) and whole‐genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) confirmed a negative correlation between DNA methylation and gene expression, identifying key collagen synthesis‐related genes regulated by methylation, including col6a2 , col4a5 , and hat1 in females, and col6a2 , col27a1b , col12a1 , p4ha1 , loxl2 , tgfβr2 , and bmp1 in males. This study reveals that hydrolyzed collagen enhances collagen deposition and textural properties by modulating collagen synthesis networks via DNA methylation, providing a molecular basis for its application in aquafeed. 10.1155/anu/3209384 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
