Summary: This study evaluated the effect of temperature on the transmission and development of the pathogenic monogenean Sparicotyle chrysophrii. It found that transmission success and post-infection survival of the parasite were highest at temperatures between 18 and 22 degrees Celsius. The study predicted that at 22 degrees Celsius, parasite abundance would rapidly increase, making the parasite more likely to become pathogenic.

Summary: Intensive fish farming has led to the spread of parasites like Sparicotyle chrysophrii, which can cause epizootics in gilthead seabream. A new model was developed to simulate the transmission dynamics of the parasite and successfully replicated its distribution within fish hosts as well as the effects of environmental factors.

Summary: This study explores the best experimental conditions to set up an in vivo infection model capable of mimicking the sparicotylosis signs observed in farmed diseased fish. The experimental setup for parasite transmission consisted of a recipient fish tank with naive GSB receiving water from two S. chrysophrii-infected donor tanks. The study provides an advancement for studying S. chrysophrii's biology and its interaction with its host, as well as for further researching treatment alternatives and prophylactic measures.

Summary: Sparicotyle chrysophrii is a pathogenic parasite in Mediterranean aquaculture, causing significant harm to gilthead seabream. Despite close monitoring in marine aquaculture systems, there is a lack of recent and publicly available data on the epidemiology of S. chrysophrii. This lack of data hampers the implementation of integrated pest management strategies at national and Mediterranean levels.

Summary: Sparicotylosis, an enzootic parasitic disease, profoundly alters the haemostasis, the innate immune system and the lipid metabolism and transport in gilthead sea bream.

Summary: This study provides the first contribution to the population genetic variation of Sparicotyle chrysophrii. The analysis based on molecular markers revealed that only one species of the parasite is found on the gills of Sparus aurata in the Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, a new undescribed sister species of S. chrysophrii may exist based on samples isolated from a different host species in the Adriatic Sea.

Summary: The study evaluated the expression of inflammation-related genes in fish skin injected with carrageenin, finding it to be a good stimulator for studying skin inflammation in gilthead seabream. This method could potentially be used to study the modulation of fish inflammatory processes caused by internal or external factors.

Summary: The aim of this study was to induce and characterize extracellular traps (ETs) produced by gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) head-kidney leucocytes. After stimulating the leucocytes with various substances, ETs structures were observed and quantified, revealing different morphological properties depending on the stimulant used. This research provides important insights into the immune response of fish and its potential application in mitigating microbial infections in fish farms.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of UVB exposure on the global gene expression profiles of gilthead seabream skin. The results demonstrated that UVB exposure led to decreased growth, increased oxidative stress, and changes in behavior, physiology, and immune system. The transcriptome analysis revealed differentially expressed genes related to immune system, inflammatory response, cell cycle regulation, proteasome, proteolysis, and oxidative stress. On the other hand, UVB exposure inhibited the expression of genes related to growth factor activity, cell growth and differentiation, and pigmentation. These findings provide valuable insights into the molecular changes in fish after long-term exposure to UVB.

Summary: The trials showed that replacing fishmeal with brewery byproducts such as yeast and spent grain in diets for gilthead sea bream can achieve similar growth results and improve feed sustainability.

Summary: In this study, cortisol treatment in Sparus aurata promoted energy substrate mobilization in the liver and regulation of metabolism-related genes, specifically through genomic actions. In contrast, cortisol-BSA did not induce the same metabolic responses, suggesting that only genomic actions are involved in metabolic responses after three days of cortisol administration in fish.

Summary: The microbiota profile of gilthead seabream fillets stored under different conditions was studied using 16S rRNA metabarcoding sequencing. The results showed that storage conditions and temperature had a significant impact on the shelf-life of the fillets. Pseudomonas was the dominant genus at the end of the fillets' shelf-life, but other genera like Shewanella and Carnobacterium were also present in the middle stages of MAP-stored fillets.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of porcine plasma protein hydrolysate (PPH) in aquafeeds for gilthead sea bream, showing positive impacts on growth performance, feed efficiency, and immune responses. Results indicate that PPH is a safe and functional ingredient that enhances antibacterial capacity of skin mucus and promotes immune response in fish diets.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of dietary vitamin D-3 on the growth, calcium absorption, mineralization, and skeletal anomalies in gilthead seabream larvae. The results showed that an optimal level of vitamin D-3 improved larval survival, calcium and phosphate levels, and vertebral mineralization while reducing the incidence of skeletal anomalies.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of different feed formulations containing Chlorella vulgaris on the health status and inflammatory response of gilthead seabream. The results showed that Chlorella vulgaris supplementation had an impact on the circulating neutrophils in the fish, but had mild effects on the innate immune and antioxidant functions. In the inflammatory response, the soluble peptide-enriched extract of Chlorella vulgaris seemed to have a protective, anti-stress effect in the gut.
