The Use of a DNA-Intercalating Dye for Quantitative Detection of Viable Arcobacter spp. Cells (v-qPCR) in Shellfish
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019-02-28)
The genus Arcobacter (Vandamme et al., 1991), comprised of Campylobacter-related species, are considered zoonotic emergent pathogens. The presence of Arcobacter in food products like shellfish, has an elevated incidence ...
Invasion genetics of the mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus): recent anthropogenic introduction in Iberia
(PeerJ, 2019-02-08)
Human activities such as trade and transport have increased considerably in the last decades, greatly facilitating the introduction and spread of non-native species at a global level. In the Iberian Peninsula, Fundulus ...
Stressors due to handling impair gut immunity in meagre (Argyrosomus regius): the compensatory role of dietary L-Tryptophan
(Frontiers in Physiology, 2019-05-10)
In the context of intensive aquaculture, meagre (Argyrosomus regius) is one of the most important new aquaculture species in Southern Europe and several studies are focused on the optimization of its culture. Nevertheless, ...
A mycobacterial disease is associated with the silent mass mortality of the pen shell Pinna nobilis along the Tyrrhenian coastline of Italy
(Scientific Reports, 2019-02-25)
Disease is an increasing threat for marine bivalves worldwide. Recently, a mass mortality event (MME) impacting the bivalve Pinna nobilis was detected across a wide geographical area of the Spanish Mediterranean Sea and ...
Ontogeny and modulation after PAMPs stimulation of β-defensin, hepcidin, and piscidin antimicrobial peptides in meagre (Argyrosomus regius)
(Fish and Shellfish Immunology, 2017-08-24)
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), components of innate immunity, play an important role in protecting fish. In this study we report the molecular cloning of full open reading frames and characterization of expression of three ...
Colorimetric DNA-based assay for the specific detection and quantification of Ostreopsis cf. ovata and Ostreopsis cf. siamensis in the marine environment
(Harmful Algae, 2019-03-16)
Ostreopsis is a toxic benthic dinoflagellate largely distributed worldwide in tropical and temperate areas. In the Mediterranean Sea, periodic summer blooms have been reported and have become a serious concern due to their ...
Gamete quality and management for in vitro fertilisation in meagre (Argyrosomus regius)
(Aquaculture, 2019-05-14)
The aquaculture of meagre (Argyrosomus regius) requires methods for the control of reproduction that enable the production of families from specific individuals for selective breeding programs. We experimentally determined ...
Contrasting outcomes of Vibrio harveyi pathogenicity in gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata and European seabass, Dicentrachus labrax
(Aquaculture, 2019-06-11)
Vibrio harveyi has been reported as the dominant heterotrophic bacterial species in western Mediterranean coastal areas during warm seasons, and is recognized as an economically significant pathogen for the aquaculture ...
Optimal stocking density for beluga, Huso huso, and ship sturgeon, Acipenser nudiventris during the grow‐out phase
(Journal of Applied Ichthyology, 2018-10-18)
The influence of three different initial stocking densities (SD) in flowthrough systems was evaluated on growth performance and feed utilizaition in beluga, Huso huso, and ship sturgeon, Acipenser nudiventris, juveniles ...
Weaning European glass eels (Anguilla anguilla) with plant protein-based diets and its effects on intestinal maturation
(Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2018-11-09)
Weaning glass eels with compound diets (36% proteins, 16% lipids) differing in their fishmeal (FM) level (50, 75 and 100% FM replaced by a blend of plant proteins, PP) was compared to a group fed cod roe. Weaning lasted ...
