Abstract Oyster reefs are among the most threatened marine habitats globally. In Europe, oyster have been extirpated from locations within their historical range. Active restoration of native ( Ostrea edulis ) in Europe has grown substantially recent years. sharing experiences between projects at Native Restoration Alliance conference, NORA2, Edinburgh May 2019, it became apparent that a number similar barriers experienced. This study identified top 40 questions, which, if answered, would...
Abstract The European native oyster ( Ostrea edulis ) is a threatened keystone species which historically created extensive, physically complex, biogenic habitats throughout seas. Overfishing and direct habitat destruction, subsequently compounded by pollution, invasive species, disease, predation climate change have resulted in the functional extinction of across much its former range. Although reef remains imperilled, active restoration efforts are rapidly gaining momentum. Identifying...
Abstract The Native Oyster Restoration Alliance (NORA) supports the protection and ecological restoration of native European oyster, Ostrea edulis , its habitat across current historical biogeographical range. NORA works to overcome barriers conservation, restoration, recovery oyster by providing a platform for community collaborate participate in knowledge exchange. seeks support responsible practice, compliance with biosecurity sustainability. Against this background, formulated series...
We assessed the presence of fatty acid (FA)-sensing mechanisms in hypothalamus Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) and investigated their sensitivity to FA chain length and/or level unsaturation. Stearate (SA, saturated FA), oleate (OA, monounsaturated same length), α-linolenate [ALA, a n-3 polyunsaturated (PUFA) length], eicosapentanoate (EPA, PUFA larger length) were injected intraperitoneally. Parameters related sensing neuropeptide expression after 3 h changes accumulated food intake 4,...
Abstract This paper describes the first record of northern pike Esox lucius (Linnaeus, 1758) in Kuti Lake (Mala Neretva, Croatia). A specimen this species was caught November 2024. The presence has been recorded tributaries and reservoirs Neretva River Bosnia Herzegovina, but its system Croatia presents an expansion distribution species. Although local fishermen sources from grey literature recent years indicate that is already present area where caught, further research needed to determine...
Abstract This study analyses the effects of dietary lipid level and source on absorption metabolism in Senegalese sole ( Solea senegalensis ). Juvenile fish were fed 4 experimental diets containing either 100 % oil (FO) or 25 FO 75 vegetable (VO; rapeseed, linseed soybean oils) at two levels (~8 ~18 %). Effects assessed performance, body proximate composition accumulation, activity hepatic lipogenic fatty acid oxidative enzymes and, finally, expression genes related to liver intestine,...
The European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis , is a habitat-forming bivalve which was historically widespread throughout Europe. Following its decline due to overfishing, pollution, sedimentation, invasive species, and disease, O. beds are now listed as threatened and/or declining species habitat by OSPAR. Increasing recognition of the plight alongside rapidly developing restoration techniques growing interest in marine restoration, has resulted recent rapid growth efforts. seed supply currently...
The European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis , once formed extensive reef habitats throughout seas and estuaries. These reefs are now largely functionally extinct, yet interest support for their restoration is rapidly growing. A major bottleneck to scaling up oyster the lack of available oysters supply growing demand. This study aimed identify ten questions which, if answered, would increase consistency success in hatchery production O. habitat restoration. Candidate were submitted by...
Studies in fish have reported the presence and function of fatty acid (FA)-sensing systems comparable many aspects to those known mammals. Such studies were carried out juvenile adult fish, but FA sensing control food intake has never been evaluated early stages, despite importance establishing when appetite regulation becomes functional larval fish. In this study we aimed elucidate possible effects different specific on neural neuropeptides involved Senegalese sole post-larvae. To achieve...
