Abstract This study aimed to characterize the molecules involved in osteogenesis seabream and establish using vitro / vivo approaches responsiveness of selected key genes temperature. The impact a temperature drop from 23 13 °C was evaluated juvenile fish thermally imprinted during embryogenesis. Both, , Fib1a appeared important first stages bone formation, Col1A1 ON OP regulating matrix production mineralization. OCN mRNA levels were up-regulated final larval when mineralization more...
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have recently been proposed to be more relevant in driving population changes than the continuous increase average temperatures associated with climate change. The causal processes underpinning MHW effects sharks are unclear but may linked fitness caused by physiological trade-offs that influence immune response. Considering scarcity of data about response under anomalous warming events, present study analyzed several indices and characterized (in blood, epigonal...
The impact of thermal imprinting on the plasticity hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) axis and stress response in an adult ectotherm, gilthead sea bream (Sparusaurata, L.), during its development was assessed. Fish were reared under 4 regimes, resulting adults exposed to acute confinement plasma cortisol levels genes HPI monitored. Changes immune function, a common result stress, also evaluated using histomorphometric measurements melanomacrophages centers (MMCs) head kidney by...
Fish are ectotherms and temperature plays a determinant role in their physiology, biology ecology is driver of seasonal responses. The present study assessed how thermal imprinting during embryonic larval stages modified the response adult fish to low water temperature. We targeted gilthead sea bream that develops condition known as winter syndrome when it exposed temperatures. Eggs larvae were four different regimes then resulting adults challenge was assessed. Sea high-low regime eggs...
Fish skin is a multifunctional tissue that develops during embryogenesis, developmental stage highly susceptible to epigenetic marks. In this study, the impact of egg incubation temperature on regeneration cutaneous wound caused by scale removal in juvenile European sea bass was evaluated. Sea eggs were incubated at 11, 13.5 and 16 °C until hatching then reared common 9 months when damaged sampled 0, 1 3 days after compared intact from other flank. Skin damage elicited an immediate...
Fish are ectotherms and this means they highly vulnerable to changes in ambient temperature, particularly during early developmental stages when temperature can induce persistent effects on phenotypic traits. In study, the effect of egg incubation response juvenile European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) food deprivation recovery after refeeding was assessed. Eggs were incubated at 11, 13.5 16 °C until hatching then reared a common 9 months fish deprived for one week. The from evaluated 10...
