Editorial: T Cell Regulation by the Environment

T cell responses are initiated by ligation of their cognate T cell receptor by MHC loaded with antigenic peptide, but their response is carefully controlled by a myriad of environmental cues, including co-activation receptors, cytokines, nutrients, growth factors, local oxygen levels, salt concentrations, and microbiome. The complexity of the integration of signals received by T cells is only b...

Aquaculture Environment Interactions

There has been an increase in commercial-scale kelp cultivation in Europe, with fouling of cultivated kelp fronds presenting a major challenge to the growth and development of the industry. The presence of epibionts decreases productivity and impacts the commercial value of the crop. Several abiotic and biotic factors may influence the occurrence and degree of fouling of wild and cultivated fro...

Aquaculture Environment Interactions

Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of farming sites, seeding date, age of oysters, ploidy level and rearing structures on mor tality, pathogens and energetic reserves of oysters Crassostrea gigas. Mortality of oysters coincided with infections involving, primarily, the ostreid herpesvirus OsHV-1 and, secondarily, bacteria of the group Vibrio splendidus, when seawater temperat...

Aquaculture Environment Interactions

Salmonid farming affects both the environment and other industries, with impacts of wild fish attracted to fish farms being a major concern. Here, we summarized existing knowledge on the impacts of such aggregations around open-cage salmonid farms in Norway on the environment and human activities and on the interactions of these impacts. Waste fish feed is considered the major cause for the att...
