Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing has had a major role in the overexploitation of global fish populations. In response, international regulations have been imposed many fisheries 'eco-certified' by consumer organizations, but methods for independent control catch certificates eco-labels are urgently needed. Here we show that, using gene-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms, individual marine can be assigned back to population origin with unprecedented high levels precision....
Cartilaginous fish are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic stressors and environmental change because of their K-selected reproductive strategy. Accurate data from scientific surveys landings essential assess conservation status develop robust protection management plans. Currently available often incomplete or incorrect as a result inaccurate species identifications, due high level morphological stasis, especially among closely related taxa. Moreover, several diagnostic characters...
Nematodes are abundant and ubiquitous animals which poorly known at intraspecific level. This work represents the first attempt to fill gap on basic knowledge of genetic variability differentiation in Protostrongylus oryctolagi , a nematode parasite lagomorphs. 68 cox1 sequences were obtained from brown hares collected five locations Northern Central Italy, highlighting presence high amount variation inside this species. The eleven haplotypes identified (Haplotype diversity equal 0.702)...
Even though dairy cows are known carriers of Arcobacter species and raw or minimally processed foods recognized as the main sources human infections in industrialized countries, data on excretion patterns milk scant. This study aimed to identify potentially pathogenic a herd investigate routes transmission among animals potential cattle infection contamination. A strategy sampling same 50 animals, feed, water, every month for 10-month period, well quarter milk, animal teats, milking...
The performance of different molecular markers in the assessment population structure was tested using samples Solea vulgaris collected Mediterranean within and outside hypothetical dispersal ability species. A total 172 individuals belonging to four were analysed 15 microsatellites [simple sequence repeats (SSRs)] 153 amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs). Considering global qualitative patterns, we found a correlation between SSRs AFLPs detecting genetic differentiation among...
This study was undertaken to determine the influence of dietary protein levels on growth, feed utilization and liver histology in common sole. Four isoenergetic diets were formulated contain four different crude levels: 39 (P39), 45 (P45), 51 (P51) 57 (P57) % dry weight. Fifty animals per tank (initial weight 10.2 ± 0.4 g) randomly distributed into twelve 500 litre square tanks (bottom surface: 5600 cm2) connected a closed recirculation system. The tested triplicate for 84 days. At end...

The rayed trough-shell Mactra corallina Linnaeus 1758 is a surf clam that inhabits the Atlantic Ocean, Black Sea and Mediterranean represents commercially important bivalve. This species present with two different well-defined sympatric morphotypes, which differ mainly for colour of shell (white in morph, brown-banded lignaria morph). aim this work to resolve confused contradictory systematics bivalves belonging M. putative by analysing molecular morphological features.

The high nutritional quality of common sole Solea solea increases its value for the fishery industry and aquaculture sector. To ensure expansion production, it is necessary to implement farming broodstock management technique produce eggs larvae. This work summarizes eight years study on reproductive performances, growth parental contribution a from Mediterranean-North Adriatic Sea. (11 females 13 males) reached peak fecundity after 5/6 captivity, with production 296.48 376.54 × 103 total...
Although parasites may threaten individual hosts' survival and reproduction, their role as an essential part of ecosystem functioning biodiversity has been recognized. In Northern Italy, the hare population evidently declined since 2008. This paper aims to assess relationship between host demographic trends helminth parasite community diversity in a two-year survey Italy evaluate impact on hosts confirm hypothesis that endangered populations are poor parasites. 2013 2015 viscera 54 61 hares...
Abstract A microsatellite‐enriched genomic library was obtained from the common sole, Solea vulgaris , and seven polymorphic dinucleotide markers were successfully optimized. These showed levels of expected heterozygosity ranging 0.55 to 0.83 allele number eight 12. Three these also found amplify in closely related senegalensis can be employed define population genetic structure two species for inferring stock origins.
European eel Anguilla anguilla is among the highly valued species for aquaculture. Since its peculiar biology, it not yet possible to complete whole life cycle in artificial conditions and supply depends entirely on wild catches. In last 50 years this has suffered a population reduction of 99 % mainly due overfishing. conservation perspective, fundamental importance improve aquaculture production eel, avoid extinction preserve residual genetic variability, allowing at same time fulfilling...
Overlapping external morphometric characters easily confound the flatfishes Solea aegyptiaca and solea (Soleidae) in areas of Mediterranean Sea where both species live sympatry. This leads to uncertainties fisheries marketing species, addition misinterpretations biogeography conservation studies. paper describes a simple restriction fragment length-based diagnostic test that differentiates S. from aegyptiaca, as well other Soleidae family. Furthermore, two living sympatry Gulf Kavala (North...
Data about the presence of Arcobacter in wild birds are currently lacking. In this study cloacal swabs from 95 collared doves (Streptopelia decaocto), submitted to Department Veterinary Medical Sciences (Bologna, Italy) between 2011 and 2013 various urban suburban areas Emilia-Romagna region (Northern Italy), were tested for sp. by a rRNA 23S nested Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Eighteen out (19%) samples showed expected PCR product. Further cultural molecular studies needed assess...
Abstract Details of six highly polymorphic dinucleotide and one tetranucleotide microsatellite markers are provided for Pagellus erythrinus. These polymorphic, with an expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.713 to 0.959 allele numbers seven 36. should help determine population genetic structure fisheries stocks management purposes.
Abstract A microsatellite‐enriched genomic library was obtained from black‐bellied angler Lophius budegassa and six polymorphic dinucleotide markers were successfully optimized. These showed levels of polymorphism ranging 0.363 to 0.662 allele numbers three seven. also found amplify in the closely related piscatorius (angler) thus appear be useful for genetic stock structure analysis both species.
This study aimed to set up a method for the long-term management of Adriatic sturgeon, through analysis sex steroids and genetic profiling individuals in order maximize already reduced variability this species. Ten A. naccarii adults (nine captive origin, one captured Ticino river then moved into captivity) eight subadults located semi-natural land-locked pond Abbiategrasso (Milan, Italy) were analysed. Plasma testosterone differed significantly analysed allowing their differentiation two...
