Summary: Temperature changes can affect the activity, function, and well-being of teleosts. This study investigated the early larval development of European sea bass at different temperatures and found temperature-specific miRNA expression that targeted genes involved in reproduction and immune response. The study also observed temperature-specific effects on growth, sex, vision, and skeletal deformities.

Summary: A 19-day experiment was conducted to study the optimal light intensity and photoperiod for larval swimming crabs. The results showed that high light intensity had a negative effect on larval survival, while long photophase and low light intensity improved survival and development. Long photophase also accelerated larval development and increased the expression of molting-related and apoptosis-related genes. The optimal light intensity and photoperiod were determined to be 126.08 mu mol m (-2) s (-1) and 18-hour photophase.

Summary: The hormone melatonin plays a crucial role in regulating pituitary hormone production in European sea bass, influenced by factors like photoperiod, temperature, and salinity. Seasonal variations in mRNA abundance of pituitary hormones and melatonin receptors were observed in different fish groups raised in sea water and brackish water. In vitro experiments showed that melatonin's effects on pituitary hormones varied based on concentration, month investigated, and fish's prior adaptation to different salinities, highlighting the diverse responses of the pituitary gland in fish facing changing environmental conditions.

Summary: The research found that under different light photoperiod conditions, juvenile European Sea Bass showed variations in growth, feed conversion ratio, and digestive enzyme activity. Among the different photoperiods, the 8L: 16D light cycle was found to be the most optimal for the growth of juvenile European Sea Bass.

Summary: The study investigates the structures of microalgal biofilms formed under different light conditions, revealing that white light leads to biofilms with high porosity and roughness, while red and blue lights result in biofilms with low porosity. Different photoperiods also contribute to variations in biofilm structures.

Summary: The sea bass stock around the UK has declined rapidly over the past decade due to overfishing and low recruitment. To develop effective management strategies, understanding the factors that affect sea bass settlement on nursery grounds is important. An individual-based model has been used to investigate these factors, with simulations showing similarities to empirical data but also highlighting the need for further investigation into differences between modelled supply and observations.

Summary: Like many animals, the northern temperate eel can enter a dormancy-like state during the winter. The timing of dormancy is mainly related to photoperiod and less to temperature. In a fjord in Southern Norway, the European eel exhibited dormancy from late October or November until mid-April, with over 50% of eel becoming dormant when day length was less than 9 hours.

Summary: The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of genetic selection for growth in European sea bass in response to a challenge with an alternative diet. The results showed that European sea bass selected for 7 generations performed better in terms of growth, with decreased fat content and increased nutritional value of flesh. The dietary treatment had little effect on fish growth performance, indicating successful replacement of fishmeal and fish oil. Therefore, multi-trait genetic selection can improve the ability of European sea bass to adapt to alternative feeds with low fishmeal and fish oil.

Summary: European sea bass is an important species for Mediterranean aquaculture and is susceptible to betanodavirus infections. This study evaluated the pathogenicity of different RGNNV/SJNNV strains in European sea bass and found that reassortants of these strains can cause varying levels of mortality. Additionally, high viral loads were detected in asymptomatic survivors, suggesting a possible reservoir role for the species. Comparison of complete genomic segments identified amino acid residues likely involved in the variable pathogenicity of RGNNV/SJNNV strains in European sea bass.

Summary: This study demonstrates that juvenile sea bass exposed to oil spills exhibit transient behavioral impairments, with a dose-response relationship observed. Recovery capacities were seen within the first 10 days post-exposure, although fish may require more time for full recovery. The alterations in behavior may be attributed to neurosensory or physiological defects caused by oil exposure, leading to sedative behaviors resembling anesthesia.

Summary: This study examined the impact of ultrasound on farmed European sea bass and found that while growth and survival were not affected, ultrasound exposure led to disruption of gill and skin microbiota, including an increase in potential pathogenic bacteria. This highlights the need for further research on the long-term effects of ultrasonic antifouling control on the health and well-being of farmed fish.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of different feeding strategies on the growth, body composition, hematological and biochemical parameters, excretion patterns, and economic indices of juvenile tambaqui. The results showed that the self-feeder system and apparent satiety feeding strategy had positive effects on feed intake, conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio, and protein retention rate. However, there were no significant differences observed in growth, survival, hematological parameters, body composition, and total ammonia nitrogen excretion among the different feeding strategies. The study also found that the self-feeder system and apparent satiety feeding strategy had better economic indices.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.

The chip enabled the parallel analysis of six genetic markers from a single sample and allowed for the highly automated detection of multiple samples. Compared with PCR and DNA sequencing, the on-chip RPA assay showed high sensitivity and specificity for detecting multiple pathogens in shrimp aquaculture.
