Sustainable fish meal-free diets for gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata): integr...
Fernandes, Ana M.; Calduch-Giner, Josep Àlvar; Pereira, Gabriella V.; Fachadas Gato Coelho Gonçalves, Ana Teresa; Dias, Jorge; Johansen, JohanThe growth of the aquaculture industry requires more sustainable and circular economy-driven aquafeed formulas. Thus, the goal of the present study was to assess in farmed gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) how different combinations of novel and conventional fish feed ingredients supported proper animal performance in terms of growth and physiological biomarkers of blood/liver/head kidney. A 77-day feeding ...
The influence of 17β-oestradiol on lymphopoiesis and immune system ontogenesis ...
Moreira, Catarina; Paiola, Matthieu; Duflot, Aurélie; Varó, Inma; Sitjà-Bobadilla, Ariadna; Knigge, Thomas; Pinto, P; Monsinjon, TiphaineThe female sex steroid 17β-oestradiol (E2) is involved in the regulation of numerous physiological functions, including the immune system development and performance. The role of oestrogens during ontogenesis is, however, not well studied. In rodents and fish, thymus maturation appears to be oestrogen-dependent. Never theless, little is known about the function of oestrogen in immune system development. To furt...
Disruption of gut integrity and permeability contributes to enteritis in a fish...
Sitjà-Bobadilla, Ariadna; Gil-Solsona, Rubén; Estensoro, Itziar; Piazzon, M. C; Martos-Sitcha, Juan A; Picard-Sánchez, Amparo; Fuentes, JuanBackground In the animal production sector, enteritis is responsible for serious economic losses, and intestinal parasitism is a major stress factor leading to malnutrition and lowered performance and animal production efficiency. The effect of enteric parasites on the gut function of teleost fish, which represent the most ancient bony vertebrates, is far from being understood. The intestinal myxozoan parasite ...
