Temporal transcriptomic profiling of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) gills after acute copper exposure reveals suppressed immune gene responsiveness to Flavobacterium covae infection
Results demonstrate that Cu immunological impact is strongly time-dependent, and provide mechanistic support for incorporating recovery periods into CuSO4 treatment protocols to avoid unintended immunosuppression in aquaculture.
