Short-term enrichment of microalgae with inorganic selenium and zinc and their effects on the mineral composition of microalgae and marine rotifer Brachionus plicatilis
(Wiley, 2021-11-12)
Rotifers are widely used as a live prey for finfish larvae, although their content in minerals such as selenium and zinc is lower than in fish. In the present study, mixed microalgae (i.e., Isochrysis ...
Larval rearing and ontogeny of digestive enzyme activities in yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus, Houttuyn 1782)
(Elsevier, 2021-08-08)
The present research was conducted to provide insight into digestive larval capacity in Acanthopagrus latus larvae from hatching up to 30 days after hatching (DAH). Newly hatched larvae were stocked ...
Detection of Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa single cells using recombinase polymerase amplification combined with a sandwich hybridization assay
(Springer, 2021-04-10)
Dinoflagellates of the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa are known to produce several bioactive compounds including the potent neurotoxic ciguatoxins (CTXs) which are able to accumulate in fish and through ...
Phospholipids improve the performance, physiological, antioxidative responses and, lpl and igf1 gene expressions in juvenile stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus)
(Elsevier, 2021-04-21)
The effects of dietary phospholipids (PL) on the performance of juvenile stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) was evaluated in terms of growth and feed efficiency parameters, muscle and liver fatty ...
Influence on the implementation of biosecurity measures in dairy cattle farms: Communication between veterinarians and dairy farmers
(Elsevier, 2021-03-18)
This study was carried out in two regions in Spain (Catalonia and Galicia) through eight focus groups; four for dairy farmers and four for veterinarians. The results showed that dairy farmers and ...
Impact of dietary porcine blood by-products in meagre (Argyrosomus regius) physiology, evaluated by welfare biomarkers and the antibacterial properties of the skin mucus
(Elsevier, 2021-09-14)
Tools are required for quick and easy preliminary evaluation of functional feeds efficiency on fisheries. The analysis of skin mucus biomarkers is a recent alternative approach providing a faster feed-back ...
Microbial community structure in a host‐parasite system: the case of Prussian carp and its parasitic crustaceans
(Wiley, 2021-03-16)
Aims. The aim of the study was to investigate the skin microbiota of Prussian carp infested by ectoparasites from the genus Argulus and Lernaea. Methods and Results. Associated microbiota of skin of ...
Narrow versus broad: sexual dimorphism in the wing form of western European species of the subgenus Avaritia (Culicoides, Ceratopogonidae)
(Wiley, 2021-01-12)
While wing form is known to differ between males and females of the genus Culicoides, detailed studies of sexual dimorphism are lacking. In this study, we analyze sex-specific differences in the wing ...
Providing recombinant gonadotropin-based therapies that induce oogenesis from previtellogenic oocytes to produce viable larvae in a teleost, the flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus)
(Elsevier, 2021-01-27)
Under intensive captive conditions, wild-caught flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) females remained arrested in previtellogenic stages of gonadal development and no sperm could be obtained from males. ...
The feasibility of using gas mixture to stun seabream (Sparus aurata) before slaughtering in aquaculture production
(Elsevier, 2021-07-10)
Current European Union regulation explicitly states that farmed fish should be spared any avoidable pain, distress or suffering at the time of slaughter. It has been shown that fish suffer when they are ...
