Multibiomarker approach to fipronil exposure in the fish Dicentrarchus labrax under two temperature regimes
(Elsevier, 2019-12-04)
Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide widely used to control pests in agriculture even though evidence of harmful side effects in non-target species has been reported. A comprehensive study on the ...
Developmental RNA-Seq transcriptomics of haploid germ cells and spermatozoa uncovers novel pathways associated with teleost spermiogenesis
(Nature Research, 2022-08-19)
In non-mammalian vertebrates, the molecular mechanisms involved in the transformation of haploid germ cells (HGCs) into spermatozoa (spermiogenesis) are largely unknown. Here, we investigated this process ...
Diet and other environmental factors shape the bacterial communities of fish gut in an eutrophic lake
(Wiley, 2018-08-09)
Aims
The aim of this work was to study the gut microbial diversity from eight species of wild fish with different feeding habits, digestive physiology (gastric vs agastric) and provide comparative ...
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 ...
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 ...
Towards the standardization of brush border purification and intestinal alkaline phosphatase quantification in fish with notes on other digestive enzymes
(Elsevier, 2018-01-06)
Assessing the activity of digestive enzymes is a common procedure in many biological, physiological and nutritional studies. After reviewing the available literature on fish digestive tract maturation ...
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 ...
Apparent digestibility coefficients of brewer's by-products used in feeds for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata)
(Elsevier, 2020-08-06)
A trial was conducted to test the effect of partial replacement of fishmeal by two brewery industry byproducts, yeast and spent grain, included in isoproteic (41% CP) and isolipidic (22% CL) diets for ...
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 ...
The presence of wild Senegalese sole breeders improves courtship and reproductive success in cultured conspecifics
(Elsevier, 2020-01-03)
The life cycle of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) is not closed in captivity due to a reproductive dysfunction related to the lack of participation of cultured male breeders in the courtship. To ...
