The endoparasite Perkinsus olseni affecting the Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) in the Italian and Spanish waters: A new possible threat for mussel aquaculture and wild animal population
(Frontiers, 2023-02-24)
Dinoflagellates belonging to the Perkinsus genus are OIE (World Organization for animal Health)-listed pathogens extremely virulent for clams and oysters in many marine ecosystems throughout the world. ...
A Production Calendar Based on Water Temperature, Spat Size, and Husbandry Practices Reduce OsHV-1 μvar Impact on Cultured Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas in the Ebro Delta (Catalonia), Mediterranean Coast of Spain
(Frontiers Media, 2017-03-03)
Since 2006, the production of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in the Ebro Delta area has dramatically declined from around 800 metric tons (MT) per year to 138 MT in 2011. This decline in production ...
Lineage-level divergence of copepod glycerol transporters and the emergence of isoform-specific trafficking regulation
(Nature Research, 2021-05-31)
Transmembrane conductance of small uncharged solutes such as glycerol typically occurs through aquaglyceroporins (Glps), which are commonly encoded by multiple genes in metazoan organisms. To date, ...
Expression analysis of candidate genes for fatty acid composition in adipose tissue and identifcation of regulatory regions
(Nature Research, 2018-02-01)
The aim of this work was to study the genetic basis of the backfat expression of lipid-related genes
associated with meat quality traits in pigs. We performed a genome-wide association study with ...
Gain-of-function mutations in Aqp3a influence zebrafish pigment pattern formation through the tissue environment
(The Company of Biologists, 2017-06-01)
The development of the pigmentation pattern in zebrafish is a tightly regulated process that depends on both the self-organizing properties of pigment cells and extrinsic cues from other tissues. Many ...
Survey on laboratories and consultants working in the diagnostics of European seabass and gilthead seabream diseases: preliminary results
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2021-04-27)
European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) are prevailing species in
Mediterranean marine finfish aquaculture, and despite an increasing demand of the global markets ...
Genetically superior European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and nutritional innovations: Effects of functional feeds on fish immune response, disease resistance, and gut microbiota
(Elsevier, 2023-09-21)
The objective of this study was to determine if selected fish genotypes could benefit from the use of functional
additives in novel aqua feed formulations to improve growth performance, gut microbiota, ...
Accelerometry of Seabream in a Sea-Cage: Is Acceleration a Good Proxy for Activity?
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-22)
Activity assessment of individual fish in a sea-cage could provide valuable insights into the behavior, but also physiological well-being and resilience, of the fish population in the cage. Acceleration ...
Understanding the Interaction Effects between Dietary Lipid Content and Rearing Temperature on Growth Performance, Feed Utilization, and Fat Deposition of Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
(MDPI, 2021-02-03)
This study was conducted to elucidate the interaction effects of temperature and dietary lipid levels (2 × 2 factorial experiment) on the growth performance, muscle, and liver composition in adult farmed ...
Movements and dispersal of brown trout (Salmo trutta Linnaeus, 1758) in Mediterranean streams: influence of habitat and biotic factors
(PeerJ, 2018-10-12)
Dispersal is a critical determinant of animal distribution and population dynamics, and is essential information for management planning. We studied the movement patterns and the influence of habitat ...
