Abstract The presence of skeletal anomalies in farmed teleost fish is currently a major problem aquaculture, entailing economical, biological and ethical issues. common occurrence abnormalities the absence effective solutions for avoiding their onset or definitely culling out affected individuals as early possible from productive cycle, highlight need to improve our knowledge on basic processes regulating skeletogenesis tissues differentiation, modelling remodelling. Severe may actually...
Abstract Senegalese sole was one of the earliest identified candidate species with high potential for aquaculture diversification in south Europe. Its culture has been possible, and commercially attempted, several decades, but intensive production slow to take off. This explained mostly by serious disease problems, mortality at weaning, variable growth poor juvenile quality. However, a strong sustained research investment that started eighties led better understanding requirements...
Abstract This critical review summarizes the knowledge about fish skeletal tissues and inherent normal anomalous development. Particular emphasis is given to existing literature on reared European fishes. The aim was identify main gaps of that require be filled, in order precociously developmental patterns lead anomalies finfish larvae juveniles. also aims extend our factors are possibly involved onset anomalies. final goal optimization morphological quality farmed juvenile fish.
Abstract Inter-species microbial transplantations offer the possibility of transferring species-specific microbes and their associated functionality. As a conceptual approach, an intestinal microbiota transplant (IMT) between two marine carnivorous fish species that thrive in different environmental conditions was conducted: from donor Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) to recipient gilthead seabream Sparus aurata ), after obliterating its basal with antibiotic treatment. To confirm gut able...
Abstract We evaluated the effects of dietary lipid class (phospholipid vs. neutral lipid) and level n−3 long‐chain PUFA (LC‐PUFA) on growth, digestive enzymatic activity, histological organization intestine liver in European sea bass larvae. Fish were fed from onset exogenous feeding at 7 to 37 d post‐hatch with five isoproteic isolipidic compound diets different levels EPA DHA. Diet names indicated percentage DHA contained phospholipids (PL) lipids (NL), as follows: PL5, PL3, PL1, NL1, NL3....
Early development of Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baeri was divided into two different phases, the prelarval stage between hatching (10·4–11·1 mm L T ) and first feeding (19·6–21·0 ), larval initiation external metamorphosis (28·6–32·4 ). Morphogenesis differentiation were more intense during than early juvenile stages; period characterized by replacement embryonic adaptations functions definitive ones, such as branchial respiration, exogenous feeding, active swimming. The positive allometry...
The aim of this paper is to provide explanations how dietary phospholipid (PL) globally improves fish larval development, including growth and survival, digestive functions skeletal propose optimal PL levels sources in diets. Dietary incorporation 8–12% related dry matter (d.m.) promotes enhanced survival various species. Marine source PL, incorporating highly unsaturated fatty acids, was most efficient than soybean lecithin. This beneficial effect explained by an enhancement functions,...
and the gastric glands of larvae/postlarvae (from hatching until 45 days posthatching) three fish species (two teleostean a chondrostean) were investigated using conventional histochemical methods (periodic acid schiff –PAS-, diastase-PAS; alcian blue pH 0.5, 1 2.5) in order to distinguish neutral acidic (carboxylated sulphated) glycoconjugates, as well bromophenol reaction for identification proteins. Additionally, presence distribution sugar residues oligosaccharide side chains...
