Stored fish are frequently contaminated by foodborne pathogens. Lipid oxidation and microbial growth during storage are also important factors in the shelf-life of fresh fish. In order to ensure the safety of fish items, there is a need for control measures which are effective through natural inhibitory antimicrobials. It is also necessary to determine the efficacy of these products for fish pr...

The great diversity of marine habitats and organisms renders them a high-value source to find/develop novel drugs formulations. Therefore, herein, sardine (Sardina pilchardus) roe was used as lipidic produce liposomes. This fish product presents high nutritional value, being its content associated with important health benefits. Consequently, it can be advantageously therapeutically active deli...

Otolith mass asymmetry can significantly affect the vestibular system functionalities; usually, X values of vary between −0.2 and + 0.2 (−0.2 < 0.2). These change during a fish life therefore they are not related to total length. We collected 404 specimens from Gulf Tunis, including three pelagic species: Sardina pilchardus (Walbaum, 1792) (74 otolith pairs), Trachurus mediterraneus (Ste...

The study investigates feeding habits of thermophilic species and with subtropical affinity in the fishing catch Bay Medulin (northeastern Adriatic Sea), contributes to knowledge about their presence recently extended distributional range. In our methodology, Seriola dumerili, Sphyraena sphyraena, Lichia amia, Coryphaena hippurus, Caranx crysos, Pomatomus saltatrix, incidence Trachinotus ovatus...
