Fish Space Use and Behavior in an Aquarium: The Use of Microhabitats as Enrichment

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 345-355, May/June 2026.
The inclusion of microhabitats in a stream tank serves as environmental enrichment for fish in human care. ABSTRACT Environmental enrichment is an important tool to maintain the health and well‐being of animals in human care, but studies of environmental enrichment for fish in human care have lagged behind those of land animals.

The conus arteriosus of the adult gilthead seabream (Sparus auratus)

Journal of Anatomy, 2002
AbstractThis paper reports on the presence of the conus arteriosus in the heart of the adult gilthead seabream, Sparus auratus (Perciformes, Teleostei). The junctional region between the single ventricle and the bulbus arteriosus has been studied by conventional light microscopy, and by scanning and transmission electron microscopy.

Mucosal affairs: glycosylation and expression changes of gill goblet cells and mucins in a fish–polyopisthocotylidan interaction

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionSecreted mucins are highly O-glycosylated glycoproteins produced by goblet cells in mucosal epithelia. They constitute the protective viscous gel layer overlying the epithelia and are involved in pathogen recognition, adhesion and expulsion ...

Interactions of Mucus Monosaccharides and the Epidermal Microbiome in Four Benthic Elasmobranchs

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Here we collected mucus and microbes from the skin of Elasmobranchs to identify interactions between mucus and the microbial community. We identified key microbial genes involved in the metabolism of mucus carbohydrates in Elasmobranchs. ABSTRACT Epidermal mucus is a complicated mixture of macromolecules which acts as the first line of defence for ...

Synthetic Antimicrobial Peptides Fail to Induce Leucocyte Innate Immune Functions but Elicit Opposing Transcriptomic Profiles in European Sea Bass and Gilthead Seabream

Marine Drugs
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising molecules in diverse fields, including aquaculture. AMPs possess lytic effects on a wide range of pathogens, resulting in a potential replacement for traditional antimicrobials in aquaculture. In addition, they

First Detection of Lactococcus formosensis subsp. formosensis in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Europe

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Lactococcus garvieae, Lactococcus petauri and Lactococcus formosensis are etiological agents of piscine lactococcosis, a disease reported in Italy since the early 1990s and linked to significant aquaculture losses. To the best of our knowledge, this study reports the first detection of L. formosensis subsp. formosensis in farmed rainbow trout (

Structural enrichment promotes natural behaviour and welfare of captive gilthead seabream broodstock [PDF]

The intensification of aquaculture practices in the last decade can compromise the welfare of farmed fish. However, one strategy to be considered to improve the welfare of captive fish is the implementation of structural enrichment in the rearing ...

Selective Breeding and Production Strategies to Support Snapper Farming in the Warming Waters of New Zealand's South Island

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 1, March 2026.
Diversifying aquaculture species is essential for building resilience in the face of climate change, particularly as warming oceans challenge existing production systems. In New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds, rising sea temperatures are making finfish (e.g.

Meeting Livestock Protein and Amino Acids Needs With Edible Insects: A Critical Review

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2026.
Comparison of the use of traditional protein sources (soybean meal and fish meal) and insects meal in monogastrics and aquaculture (created in BioRender. Luttenschlager, H. (2025) https://BioRender.com/ndztqxp) ABSTRACT The increasing demand for animal‐based protein has led to biodiversity loss, deforestation, pollution, and extensive land use, mainly ...
