Physiological processes modulate acute and chronic responses to dietary protein/energy ratio fluctuations in individuals and families of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) selected for variable growth rates
(Elsevier, 2020-01-31)
A range of phenotypes differing in growth rate were designed in the Manila clam by combining separate breeding families with size segregation within each family to constitute fast and slow growing groups. ...
Molecular and Functional Characterization of Elovl4 Genes in Sparus aurata and Solea senegalensis Pointing to a Critical Role in Very Long-Chain (>C24) Fatty Acid Synthesis during Early Neural Development of Fish
(MDPI, 2020-05-15)
Very long-chain fatty acids (VLC-FA) play critical roles in neural tissues during the early development of vertebrates. However, studies on VLC-FA in fish are scarce. The biosynthesis of VLC-FA is ...
The gut microbiota of Cystidicola farionis parasitizing the swim bladder of the nosed charr morph Salvelinus malma complex in Lake Kronotskoe (Kamchatka, Russia)
(Society of Nematologists, 2021-12-15)
Using the approach of sequencing the V3–V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, we have analyzed the bacterial diversity associated with the gut and “body” (other parts of nematode after dissection: cuticle, ...
Brewers’ Spent Yeast and Grain Protein Hydrolysates as Second-Generation Feedstuff for Aquaculture Feed
(Springer Verlag, 2020-07-07)
Aquafeeds are formulated to contain all the essential nutrients that fishes need to keep healthy. They are highly dependent on marine ingredients: fish meal and oil. Hence, alternative ingredients which ...
Long-term incorporation of Selenium and Zinc in microalgae Isochrysis galbana and Nannochloropsis oculata and its effects on rotifer
(Wiley, 2022-03-16)
Rotifers are widely used in hatcheries to feed small-sized aquatic larvae although one of their disadvantages is the lack of zinc and selenium 5- and 30-fold lower than in copepods, respectively. To ...
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 ...
Linkage mapping, comparative genome analysis, and QTL detection for growth in a non-model teleost, the meagre Argyrosomus regius, using ddRAD sequencing
(Springer Nature, 2022-03-29)
Meagre (Argyrosomus regius), is a benthopelagic species rapidly emerging in aquaculture, due to its low food to biomass conversion rate, good fillet yield and ease of production. Tracing a species genomic ...
A Single-Tube HNB-Based Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification for the Robust Detection of the Ostreid herpesvirus 1
(MDPI, 2020-09-09)
The Ostreid herpesvirus 1 species affects shellfish, contributing significantly to high economic losses during production. To counteract the threat related to mortality, there is a need for the development ...
Zebrafish as a Model to Screen the Potential of Fatty Acids in Reproduction
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2019-01-31)
Sperm quality is an important topic in general health, chemotherapy, and gamete preservation technology. Fatty acid (FA) composition of membranes, which is influenced by the diet, plays key roles in ...
Economic assessment of investment in automatic feeding systems for sea bass grow-out farms of different sizes
(Wiley, 2023-04-27)
The aim of this work was to run an economic assessment of investment in automatic feeding systems for grow-out farms of different sizes producing European sea bass in the Mediterranean Sea. For this, ...
