Hypertonic stress mediates differential gene expression in gill filament culture. Total RNA of gill filaments with small RNA sequencing were subjected for transcriptome analysis (n = 5). a & b Volcano plot showed DEGs under 4 h (a) or 8 h (b) hypertonic treatment (Hyper: 600 mOsmol l− 1) as compared to the control (Ctrl: 300 mOsmol l− 1). DEGs with |log2 (fold change)| > 1, −log10 q-value > 2 were set as threshold for significantly differential expression. In 4 h hypertonic treatment, 2085 DEGs including 890 upregulated genes and 1195 downregulated genes were identified, while in 8 h hypertonic treatment, 1670 DEGs including 841 upregulated genes and 829 downregulated genes were identified. c Venn diagram shows 577 commonly upregulated or 711 downregulated genes between 4 h and 8 h hypertonic treatment groups
