Use of male-to-female sex reversal as a welfare scoring system in the protandrous farmed gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) [PDF]
Gilthead sea bream is a highly cultured marine fish throughout the Mediterranean area, but new and strict criteria of welfare are needed to assure that the intensification of production has no negative effects on animal farming.

Looking for Greener Pastures: In Vitro Screening of Phytogenics for the Control of Sparicotyle chrysophrii in Gilthead Sea Bream. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The gill parasite Sparicotyle chrysophrii poses a significant threat to gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) aquaculture in the Mediterranean, causing considerable mortality and economic losses. As traditional chemotherapeutic treatments, like formalin, face growing regulatory restrictions, there is an urgent need for alternative control ...

From Brewery Waste to Sustainable Aquafeed: Harnessing <i>Nannochloropsis</i> Microalgae for Fishmeal-Free Gilthead Sea Bream Diets. [PDF]
The microalgae Nannochloropsis oceanica cultivated from brewery waste was considered a sustainable feed ingredient for gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata), evaluating physiological, molecular and microbial responses. Over 96 days, fish were fed four isoproteic and isolipidic diets: a commercial‐based diet (D1), and three fishmeal‐free diets with ...

MassArray Genotyping as a Selection Tool for Extending the Shelf-Life of Fresh Gilthead Sea Bream and European Seabass [PDF]
In modern aquaculture, genomics-driven breeding programs have emerged as powerful tools for optimizing fish quality. This study focused on two emblematic Mediterranean fish species, the European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and the gilthead sea bream ...

Post-Prandial Amino Acid Changes in Gilthead Sea Bream [PDF]
Following a meal, a series of physiological changes occurs in fish as they digest, absorb and assimilate ingested nutrients. This study aims to assess post-prandial free amino acid (FAA) activity in gilthead sea bream consuming a partial marine protein ...

Modulation of Digestive Enzyme Activities and Intestinal γ-Proteobacteria in Gilthead Sea Bream Fed High-Fat Diets Supplemented with HIDROX® Olive Oil Extract [PDF]
High-fat diets are commonly used in fish farming due to their protein-sparing effect, contributing to reduced production costs. However, this practice may have adverse effects such as metabolic impairment and inflammation.

Effect of partial substitution of fishmeal with insect meal (Hermetia illucens) on gut neuromuscular function in Gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) [PDF]
Alternative nutrient sources to fishmeal for fish feed, such as insect meals, represent a promising sustainable supply. However, the consequences for fish digestive function have not been exhaustively investigated.
