The impact of dietary lipid sources on nutrient metabolism and reproductive development is a critical focus in aquaculture broodstock nutrition. Previous studies have demonstrated that fish oil supplementation modulates the expression of genes involved in steroid hormone synthesis, glucose, and lipid metabolism promoting ovarian development in female Scatophagus argus (spotted scat). However, the effects of fish oil on hepatic function at the protein level remain poorly characterized. In this study, female S. argus were fed diets containing 8% fish oil (FO, experimental group) or 8% soybean oil (SO, control group) for 60 days. Comparative proteomic analysis of liver tissue identified significant differential protein expression between groups. The FO group exhibited upregulation of lipid metabolism-related proteins, including COMM domain-containing protein 1 (Commd1), tetraspanin 8 (Tspan8), myoglobin (Mb), transmembrane protein 41B (Tmem41b), stromal cell-derived factor 2-like protein 1 (Sdf2l1), and peroxisomal biogenesis factor 5 (Pex5). Additionally, glucose metabolism-associated proteins, such as Sdf2l1 and non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding protein (Nono), were elevated in the FO group. Moreover, proteins linked to inflammation and antioxidant responses, including G protein-coupled receptor 108 (Gpr108), protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (Ptpn2), Pex5, p120 catenin (Ctnnd1), tripartite motif-containing protein 16 (Trim16), and aquaporin 11 (Aqp11), were elevated in the FO group, while proteins involved in oxidative stress, such as reactive oxygen species modulator 1 (Romo1), cathepsin A (Ctsa), and Cullin 4A (Cul4a), were downregulated. These proteomic findings align with prior transcriptomic data, indicating that dietary fish oil enhances hepatic lipid metabolism, mitigates oxidative stress, and strengthens antioxidant capacity. Furthermore, these hepatic adaptations may synergistically support ovarian maturation in S. argus. This study provides novel proteomic-level evidence supporting the role of fish oil in modulating hepatic lipid and energy metabolism, thereby elucidating the role of fish oil in optimizing hepatic energy metabolism and redox homeostasis to influence reproductive processes, advancing our understanding of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFA) in teleost liver physiology.
