Songlin Li is the senior (last) author of TAO2026, which studied why largemouth bass, a carnivorous farmed fish, store too much glycogen in the liver when fed starch-rich feed. The team found that the liver's insulin-responsive mTOR/SREBP1 pathway, which would normally turn surplus sugar into fat, is impaired in this fish, so sugar is stored as glycogen instead. The result is from fish, and it adds a comparative view of how mTOR helps share out sugar between storage forms in the liver.
PubMed lists Li at Shanghai Ocean University's Research Centre on Environmental Ecology and Fish Nutrition, and at the university's National Demonstration Center on Experiment Teaching of Fisheries Science, as senior author of more than 30 papers on largemouth bass nutrition. The work tests feed ingredients and additives, such as the gut bacterium Clostridium butyricum (2023), to help fish cope with high-carbohydrate diets, and measures liver metabolism, antioxidant defences and gut bacteria.
Because Li is a very common Chinese surname, only papers with the Shanghai Ocean University fish-nutrition affiliation were counted. No official profile could be checked, so academic rank and training are not given.

- Jiajie Tao Fish nutrition researcher at Shanghai Ocean University who studies why carnivorous farmed fish such as largemouth bass handle dietary carbohydrate poorly and how this links to mTOR signalling in the liver
- Jiaxiong He Contributing co-author in Songlin Li's aquaculture-nutrition team studying mTOR/SREBP1-driven lipogenesis in fish.
- Sen Zhang Contributed to a study showing that largemouth bass have a weak insulin/mTOR/SREBP1 fat-making pathway, so excess dietary carbohydrate is stored as liver glycogen rather than fat
- Shiwen Chen Aquaculture physiologist studying why the largemouth bass, a carnivorous fish, tolerates dietary carbohydrate so poorly
