We investigated short-term effects (up to 24 h) of air exposure and confinement, and long-term effects (up to 11 days) of confinement, to elucidate signalling pathways in the stress response of gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata L. Plasma glucose and lactate were taken as indicators of sympathetic activation, and alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH...

The age and growth of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata Linnaeus, 1758) were studied in the present study. A total 126 specimens collected from commercial fishmongers during period between January 2015 December northern Aegean coasts Turkey. Fork length weight aged ranged 29.5 to 48.0 cm 425.00 2100.00 g, with a mean 38.5 101.23 respectively. length-weight relationship was estimated as W = 0.00...

Aquaculture of European sea bass ( Dicentrarchus labrax ) and gilthead bream Sparus aurata is an essential activity in the Mediterranean basin. Several EU Horizon 2020 regional projects are focusing on improvement their farming performance. This workshop aimed at displaying, sharing discussing projects’ achievements among interested colleagues engaged to work with fish diseases. The most innova...

To examine the role of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) in glucose homeostasis in the diabetes-like experimental model of carnivorous fish, we analysed postprandial variations and the effect of starvation, ration size and diet composition on the regulation of G6Pase expression at the enzyme activity and mRNA level in the liver of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). G6Pase expression increased in ...

Insect proteins are considered as suitable low environmental impact alternatives to fishmeal for sustainable aquafeeds. Among the different insect species, Hermetia illucens has attracted research and industrial interest due its ability grow well on organic side streams, high protein content favorable amino acid profiles. Its lipid although is characterized by a lack of EPA DHA that essential f...

To increase our current knowledge on the nutritional regulation of growth and gene expression pattern in fish skeletal muscle, effect dietary macronutrient composition was assessed digestibility, nutrient retention, performance, mRNA levels key genes involved functionality, development muscle gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). Long-term starvation decreased myogenic regulatory factors such as ...
