Pinna nobilis in suboptimal environments are more tolerant to disease but more vulnerable to severe weather phenomena
(Elsevier, 2020-11-30)
We examined a disease outbreak of the fan mussel, Pinna nobilis (L.), in the Alfacs Bay (South Ebro Delta, Spain) during a period of two years in three zones exposed to a summer salinity gradient resulting ...
Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa as potential indicators of ciguatera risk in the Balearic Islands
(Elsevier, 2020-10-22)
Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa are genera of toxic dinoflagellates which were mainly considered as endemic to marine intertropical areas, and that are well known as producers of ciguatoxins (CTXs) and ...
Is it possible to store spotted wolffish (Anarhichas minor) sperm by refrigeration?
(Springer, 2020-06-02)
Spotted wolffish Anarhichas minor reproduction in captivity is dependent on in vitro fertilization. However, it is often challenging to acquire sufficient fresh sperm to fertilize the eggs that are ...
Bottlenecks in diagnostics of Mediterranean fish diseases
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2020-06-02)
Three independent Horizon 2020 projects are prioritising a common task of solving diagnostic issues using different approaches and strategies. PerformFISH focuses its research objectives on diagnostic ...
Further Advance of Gambierdiscus Species in the Canary Islands, with the First Report of Gambierdiscus belizeanus
(MDPI, 2020-10-31)
Ciguatera Poisoning (CP) is a human food-borne poisoning that has been known since ancient times to be found mainly in tropical and subtropical areas, which occurs when fish or very rarely invertebrates ...
Vibrio mediterranei, a Potential Emerging Pathogen of Marine Fauna: Investigation of pathogenicity using a bacterial challenge in Pinna nobilis and development of a species‐specific PCR
(Wiley, 2020-06-27)
Aims
Extreme mortality events affecting Pinna nobilis, some associated to Vibrio mediterranei, have depleted many populations of this bivalve. The objective of this study was to demonstrate pathogenicity ...
Unravelling the complex duplication history of deuterostome glycerol transporters
(MDPI, 2020-07-10)
Transmembrane glycerol transport is an ancient biophysical property that evolved in selected subfamilies of water channel (aquaporin) proteins. Here, we conducted broad level genome (>550) and transcriptome ...
Molecular and Functional Characterization of Elovl4 Genes in Sparus aurata and Solea senegalensis Pointing to a Critical Role in Very Long-Chain (>C24) Fatty Acid Synthesis during Early Neural Development of Fish
(MDPI, 2020-05-15)
Very long-chain fatty acids (VLC-FA) play critical roles in neural tissues during the early development of vertebrates. However, studies on VLC-FA in fish are scarce. The biosynthesis of VLC-FA is ...
The onset of piscivory in a freshwater fish species: analysis of behavioural and physiological traits
(Wiley, 2020-03-12)
The onset of piscivory in fish, resulting in a shift from zooplankton or invertebrate to fish prey, was studied on pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) larvae displaying and not displaying piscivorous behaviour ...
Utilization of grape seed oil as a dietary lipid source in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) diets
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-02-05)
A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to determine the effects of different levels of grape seed oil (GO) on growth performance, digestive enzyme activity, fillet proximate and fatty acid composition of ...
