Acute change in water temperature causes heavy economic loss in aquaculture. The present study investigated the metabolic and molecular effect of acute thermal stress on black rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii).Gas Spectrometry-Time-of-Flight-Mass Spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS) based metabolomics was used to investigate a global metabolic response of black rockfish serum to the high water temperature (27 °C) and the low water temperature (5 °C) compared to normal 16°C water temperature. 260 varied abundance of annotated metabolites were identified through the alignment to metabolome database, and thirty-six and thirsty-four metabolites of which concentrations had a statistically change were obtained through the orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) in the serum of black rockfish under the thermal treatment at 27 °C and 5 °C, respectively. Metabolites involved in energy metabolism and a large portion of basic amino acids had a significant increase caused by acutely exposure to high temperature (P<0.05) and no change occurred in the low temperature group. However, some fatty acids was examined to have an increase raised by cold stress (P<0.05) and no effect was detected in the high temperature, which indicated that acute high and low temperature exposure posed different physiological response. In order to clearly interpret the changed metabolic profile, ubiquitin (UB), hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACAC) were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. High expression levels of UB, HIF, and LDH (P<0.05) were detected in high temperature group and no change in low temperature. However, ACAC gene expression had no change both in high and low temperature. These results indicated that the sharply increased energy demand caused by high metabolic rate in high temperature group induced the high level of HIF1α which could strengthen the process of glycolysis to provide energy. In addition, the protein degradation in tissues was speed up as the result of high expression of UB caused by protein denaturation or to be the supplement for energy default when black rockfish were acutely exposed to heat stress. Nevertheless, when exposed to cold environment, the metabolic responsive way of black rockfish did not involve the above mechanisms as the likely reason of low metabolic rate and the strong cold tolerance might related to the lipid metabolism. Our findings provide a potential metabolic profile for black rockfish when exposed to acute high and low temperature water, and shed some light on host metabolic and molecular response to thermal stress.
