Characterisation and expression analysis of cathepsins and ubiquitin-proteasome genes in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) skeletal muscle [PDF]
The proteolytic enzymes involved in normal protein turnover in fish muscle are also responsible for post-mortem softening of the flesh and are therefore potential determinants of product quality. The main enzyme systems involved are calpains, cathepsins,

Cardiac activity cessation during slaughtering combinations in farmed European seabass
Abstract Ensuring fish welfare during stunning and slaughter is essential, as these procedures represent critical points in the production cycle that can significantly impact animal welfare. Cardiac activity serves as a key physiological indicator to assess stress responses and welfare in fish.

Molecular Taxonomic Profiling of Bacterial Communities in a Gilthead Seabream (Sparus aurata) Hatchery [PDF]
As wild fish stocks decline worldwide, land-based fish rearing is likely to be of increasing relevance to feeding future human generations. Little is known about the structure and role of microbial communities in fish aquaculture, particularly at larval ...

ABSTRACT The potential adverse effects of 17‐alpha‐ethynylestradiol (50, 100, and 500 μg EE2/kg b.w., for 30 days) on tench ( Tinca tinca ) were evaluated by integrating biomarkers including physiological (hepato‐somatic index, spleen‐somatic index, and hematocrit), oxidative stress (catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase ...

Stress Nutrition in Aquatic Animals: From Definition to Practice
ABSTRACT Aquaculture faces numerous challenges, with stress being one of the major issues that lead to growth loss, metabolic disorders, weakened immunity, redox imbalance, and organ damage in aquatic animals. Nutritional intervention is one of the effective strategies to address these problems. Traditional research has primarily focused on the impacts

Modulation of bone metabolism and mineralization in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) fed various vegetable oil sources [PDF]
Little information exists on the role of dietary lipids on the bone metabolism in fish. A trial was undertaken to evaluate the effect of dietary lipid sources as modulators of bone fatty acid composition, mineralization and skeletal metabolism in fast ...

Metabolic effects of insulin and IGFs on gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) muscle cells. [PDF]
Primary cultures of gilthead sea bream myocytes were performed in order to examine the relative metabolic function of insulin compared with IGF-I and IGF-II (insulin-like growth factors, IGFs) at different stages in the cell culture.

Welfare Indicators for Aquaculture Research: Toolboxes for Five Farmed European Fish Species
ABSTRACT Refining approaches to measuring, monitoring and appraising animal welfare in aquaculture research is key to (i) protecting and optimizing it, (ii) documenting the severity of how and when it deviates, and (iii) ensuring good scientific quality, reliable results and reproducibility, amongst other factors.
