The Lineage-Specific Evolution of Aquaporin Gene Clusters Facilitated Tetrapod Terrestrial Adaptation
(Public Library of Science, 2014-11-26)
A major physiological barrier for aquatic organisms adapting to terrestrial life is dessication in the aerial environment. This barrier was nevertheless overcome by the Devonian ancestors of extant ...
Effect of short-term rotifer enrichment with marine phospholipids on growth, survival, and composition of meager (Argyrosomus regius) larvae
(Frontiers Media, 2020-12-09)
Larval rearing and ongrowing of meager have experienced a great advance during the last years and nowadays this species is considered as one of the most important new species in Mediterranean aquaculture. ...
The vertebrate Aqp14 water channel is a neuropeptide-regulated polytransporter
(Springer Nature, 2019-12-11)
Water channels (aquaporins) were originally discovered in mammals with fourteen subfamilies now identified (AQP0-13). Here we show that a functional Aqp14 subfamily phylogenetically related to AQP4-type ...
Vitamin A Affects Flatfish Development in a Thyroid Hormone Signaling and Metamorphic Stage Dependent Manner
(Frontiers Media, 2017-06-30)
Vitamin A (VA) and retinoid derivatives are known morphogens controlling vertebrate development. Despite the research effort conducted during the last decade, the precise mechanism of how VA induces ...
Cosmopolitan distribution of Endozoicomonas-like organisms and other intracellular microcolonies of bacteria causing infection in marine molluscs
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-30)
Intracellular microcolonies of bacteria, in some cases developing large extracellular cysts, have been historically reported infecting a wide diversity of economically important mollusc species worldwide, ...
Editorial: Rising stars in aquatic physiology: 2022
(Frontiers, 2022-11-10)
Promoting and visualizing cutting-edge research from young generations is the cornerstone of our academic environment. Under this scenario, this Research Topic aims gathering innovative research studies ...
Auto-Adhesion Potential of Extraocular Aqp0 during Teleost Development
(Public Library of Science, 2016-05-06)
AQP0 water channels are the most abundant proteins expressed in the mammalian lens fiber membranes where they are essential for lens development and transparency. Unlike other aquaporin paralogs, mammalian ...
First record and evidence of an established population of the North American mud crab Dyspanopeus sayi (Brachyura: Heterotremata: Panopeidae) in the western Mediterranean
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2012-03)
The panopeid crab Dyspanopeus sayi (Smith, 1869) is reported here from the Ebro Delta (Mediterranean coast
of the Iberian Peninsula). Originally endemic to the Atlantic coast of North America, D. sayi ...
Evaluation of a bacterial single-cell protein in compound diets for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry as an alternative protein source
(MDPI, 2020-09-17)
A 60-day trial was conducted in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry (initial weight = 2.5 ± 0.6 g) to evaluate the potential use of a bacterial single-cell protein (SCP) as an alternative protein ...
Population genetics of the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) introduced in North America and Europe
(Nature Research, 2017-01-03)
Globally, the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) stands as the second most important bivalve
species in fisheries and aquaculture. Native to the Pacific coast of Asia, it is now well-established ...
