Insect glycerol transporters evolved by functional co-option and gene replacement
(Nature Research, 2015-07-17)
Transmembrane glycerol transport is typically facilitated by aquaglyceroporins in Prokaryota and Eukaryota. In holometabolan insects however, aquaglyceroporins are absent, yet several species possess ...
Fast analysis of relevant contaminants mixture in commercial shellfish
(Elsevier, 2019-05-04)
One of the major challenges currently faced is to develop systematic ways of addressing chemical mixtures in environmental assessment. With this purpose, a simple, rapid, and sensitive method for the ...
Pentaplacodinium saltonense gen. et sp. nov. (Dinophyceae) and its relationship to the cyst-defined genus Operculodinium and yessotoxin-producing Protoceratium reticulatum
(Elsevier, 2017-12-16)
Strains of a dinoflagellate from the Salton Sea, previously identified as Protoceratium reticulatum and yessotoxin producing, have been reexamined morphologically and genetically and Pentaplacodinium ...
Low sperm to egg ratio required for successful in vitro fertilization in a pair-spawning teleost, Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis)
(The Royal Society, 2021-03-10)
Cultured Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) breeders fail to spawn fertilized eggs. The implantation of large-scale in vitro fertilization protocols, to solve this problem, has been frustrated by low ...
Spray-dried plasma promotes growth, modulates the activity of antioxidant defenses, and enhances the immune status of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fingerlings
(Oxford University Press, 2015-01-01)
Terrestrial animal byproduct meals, including nonruminant blood meal and blood products, represent the largest and largely untapped safe source of animal protein available within the international market ...
Effects of high‐level fishmeal replacement by plant proteins supplemented with different levels of lysine on growth performance and incidence of systemic noninfectious granulomatosis in meagre (Argyrosomus regius)
(Wiley, 2018-06-29)
The potential use of plant protein (PP) blends (soybean, wheat, rapeseed, corn gluten and wheat gluten) in the diet of juvenile meagre (Argyrosomus regius) was investigated at increasing levels to replace ...
Mitochondrial aquaporin-8-mediated hydrogen peroxide transport is essential for teleost spermatozoon motility
(Nature Research, 2015-01-14)
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cause oxidative cell damage and inhibit sperm function. In most oviparous fishes that spawn in seawater (SW), spermatozoa may be ...
No hybridization and marked interspecific differences in individual growth rate in mixed cultures of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) and grooved carpet-shell clam (R. decussatus)
(Elsevier, 2021-04-24)
The Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) was introduced in Europe in the 1970's and in the following years it became naturalized. Interactions with the native species include hybridization with the ...
Transcriptome analysis of flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) ovarian development induced by recombinant gonadotropin hormones
(Frontiers Media, 2022-11-01)
Background: Treatment with recombinant gonadotropin hormones (rGths), follicle-stimulating hormone (rFsh) and luteinizing hormone (rLh), was shown to induce and complete vitellogenesis to finally obtain ...
Multibiomarker biomonitoring approach using three bivalve species in the Ebro Delta (Catalonia, Spain)
(Springer, 2018-10-31)
Bivalves have proved to be useful bioindicators for environmental pollution. In the present study, mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis), cockles (Cerastoderma edule), and razor shells (Solen marginatus) ...
