This work addresses the most relevant advances in breeding and rearing of marine ornamental species. The main breakthroughs fish culture are discussed, with seahorses deserving a section their own as result conservation status unique biology. Details on spawning, embryo development, larval rearing, plankton culturing, tank design presented. In addition, increase popularity invertebrates reef aquariums, details culturing techniques some traded invertebrate groups (e.g., live rocks, corals,...
Owing to limited drug testing possibilities in pregnant population, the development of computational algorithms is crucial predict fate drugs placental barrier; it could serve as an alternative animal testing. The ability a molecule effectively cross barrier and reach fetus determines drug's toxicological effects on fetus. In this regard, our study aims permeability molecules across barrier. Based publicly available datasets, several machine learning models are comprehensively analysed...
The extracellular zona pellucida surrounds ovulated eggs and mediates gamete recognition that is essential for mammalian fertilization. Zonae matrices contain three (mouse) or four (human) glycoproteins (ZP1–4), but which protein binds sperm remains controversial. A defining characteristic of an ligand sterility after genetic ablation. We have established transgenic mice expressing human ZP4 form zonae pellucidae in the absence mouse ZP2. Neither nor bound to these eggs, female were sterile...
We set out to determine whether probiotic addition would improve larval development in the false percula clownfish Amphiprion ocellaris and what molecular responses could be observed larvae following exposure. supplied bacterial strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus IMC 501 from first day posthatch simultaneously by live prey with rearing water ( group 2) exclusively 3). twofold higher body weight both juveniles when probiotics were via added water. In addition, was accelerated metamorphosis...
Endogenous microbiota play essential roles in the host's immune system, physiology, reproduction and nutrient metabolism. We hypothesized that a continuous administration of an exogenous probiotic might also influence development. Thus, we treated zebrafish from birth to sexual maturation (2-months treatment) with Lactobacillus rhamnosus, species intended for human use. monitored presence L. rhamnosus during entire treatment. Zebrafish at 6 days post fertilization (dpf) exhibited elevated...
Sperm bind to ZP2 peptide beads, which can select superior sperm for assisted reproduction but also be used contraception.
Extracellular matrices surrounding eggs in fish (chorion) and mammals (zona pellucida, ZP) regulate gamete recognition before fertilization, though their mechanisms differ. Mouse sperm bind cross the ZP at any site, while chorion through a funnel-shaped opening, micropyle. To explore these divergent processes, we established cross-species insemination assays, mixing zebrafish with mouse sperm. While could not to chorion, subpopulation successfully located crossed Confocal electron microscopy...

Rotifers and Artemia salina nauplii are the most widely used live prey for newly hatched larvae, but they do not always promote optimal survival growth. Alternative food sources such as copepods, which bypass these inadequacies adequate growth, needed viewed with considerable interest by scientific community. The aim of present study was to test two different diets [rotifers A. (group A) a mixture B) rotifers/Tisbe spp. copepods nauplii/copepods] during larval rearing striped blenny...
