This study analyses the microbiological changes with traditional methods for total mesophilic aerobic, psychrotrophic, Aeromonas sp., Pseudomonas sp., Shewanella putrefaciens, Enterobacteriaceae, sulfide-reducing Clostridium and Photobacterium phosphoreum in muscle, skin and gills of whole ungutted gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) stored in ice during 18 days. The muscle tissue showed the min...

Increase in glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit (G6Pase, G6pc) transcription enhances hepatic glucose production in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The fact that carnivorous fish is an alternative model to study NIDDM led us to clone and characterise the first G6pc promoter region reported for fish and non-mammalian animals. The 5'-flanking region of G6pc from gilthead sea ...

6-Phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFKFB) catalyzes the synthesis and degradation of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, a key modulator of glycolysis-gluconeogenesis. To gain insight into the molecular mechanism behind hormonal and nutritional regulation of PFKFB expression, we have cloned and characterized the proximal promoter region of the liver isoform of PFKFB (PFKFB1) from gilt...

Sinanoglou V., Houhoula D., Kyrana V., Lougovois V. (2017): Visceral oil from farmed Sparus aurata, Dicentrarchus labrax and Diplodus puntazzo as a source of ω-3 PUFA. Czech J. Food Sci.,35: 414–423. Crude oils recovered from the viscera of conventionally and organically farmed gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata), European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax), and sharpsnout sea bream (Diplodus puntaz...

The radiological differences between the urinary tract of  Dicentrarchus labrax, Sparus aurata, Tinca tinca, and Cyprinus carpio are shown. In fresh water teleosts the urinary bladder is sigmoid and a short urethra leads to the urinary pore. Genital and anal pores are present. In Sparus aurata the urinary bladder has a globoid shape. In Dicentrarchus labrax the urinary bladder is smaller and el...

A characteristic feature of fish is the wide physiological range of blood parameters and also the large individual variations. The aim of this study was to compare the haematological profile, glucose and lactate levels of four teleost fish species (Gobius niger, Mugil cephalus, Sparus aurata, Dicentrarchus labrax) and to establish the similarities and differences between these species which are...

Using antisera to regions of human parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) the saccus vasculosus (SV) of the sea bream (Sparus aurata) has been shown to contain immunoreactive PTHrP. By immunohistochemistry (IHC) the epithelial coronet cells in fixed and wax-embedded SV tissue reacted with antisera to the prepro region of human PTHrP (-13 to +2), the N-terminus PTHrP (1-16), and the midmole...

The present study presents biological aspects of golden grey mullet, Liza aurata (risso, 1810) from Bardawil lagoon, Egypt. A total 1329 specimen's individuals were collected different landing sites Lagoon in the period May 2017 to February 2018. Length-weight relationship, condition factor, age composition, and fish growth studied. length weight ranged 12.2 33.6 (cm) 13.8 340 (g) respectively....
