Contrasting outcomes of Vibrio harveyi pathogenicity in gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata and European seabass, Dicentrachus labrax
(Aquaculture, 2019-06-11) Aqüicultura
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 ...
Solea senegalensis skeletal ossification and gene expression patterns during metamorphosis: New clues on the onset of skeletal deformities during larval to juvenile transition
(Aquaculture, 2018-07-20) Aqüicultura
Farmed Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) still show a high incidence of vertebral anomalies that limit its intensive production and hamper its economic profitability. A great effort towards understanding ...
High genetic variability of Alexandrium catenella directly detected in environmental samples from the Southern Austral Ecosystem of Chile
(Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2017-12-21) Aqüicultura
Chilean waters are often affected by Alexandrium catenella, one of the leading organisms behind Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs). Genetic variability for this species are commonly carried out from cultured ...
The growth promoting and immunomodulatory effects of a medicinal plant leaf extract obtained from Salvia officinalis and Lippia citriodora in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata)
(Aquaculture, 2020-03-29) Aqüicultura
In the present study, we evaluated the effects of a medicinal plant leaf extract (MPLE; 10%, ursolic acid, 3% other triterpenic compounds; 2% verbascoside and < 1% polyphenols) obtained from Lippia ...
Do the Escherichia coli European Union shellfish safety standards predict the presence of Arcobacter spp., a potential zoonotic pathogen?
(Science of the Total Environment, 2017-12-27) Aqüicultura
The genus Arcobacter comprises Campylobacter-related species, considered zoonotic emergent pathogens, the presence of which in water has been associated with fecal pollution. Discharges of fecal polluted ...
Ontogeny of the digestive enzyme activity of the Amazonian pimelodid catfish Pseudoplatystoma punctifer (Castelnau, 1855)
(Aquaculture, 2019-01-30) Aqüicultura
The aim of the study was to evaluate the functional ontogeny of the digestive system of Pseudoplatystoma punctifer through the analysis of the activity of the main intestinal (alkaline phosphatase, ...
A comparison of recirculation aquaculture systems versus biofloc technology culture system for on-growing of fry of Tinca tinca (Cyprinidae) and fry of grey Mugil cephalus (Mugilidae)
(Aquaculture, 2017-09-28) Aqüicultura
The on-growing of tench Tinca tinca fry (1.81 ± 0.6 g) and grey mullet Mugil cephalus fry (0.65 ± 0.2 g) was carried out using two different culture systems, recirculation aquaculture system (RAS) and ...
Diets containing shrimp protein hydrolysates provided protection to European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) affected by a Vibrio pelagius natural infection outbreak
(Aquaculture, 2018-05-24) Aqüicultura
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the dietary supplementation of shrimp protein hydrolysate (SPH) on somatic growth performance, innate immune response in juvenile European sea bass ...
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) Aqüicultura
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 ...
Stressors due to handling impair gut immunity in meagre (Argyrosomus regius): the compensatory role of dietary L-Tryptophan
(Frontiers in Physiology, 2019-05-10) Aqüicultura
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 ...
