Prentice PM, Houslay TM & Wilson AJ (2022) Exploiting animal personality to reduce chronic stress in captive fish populations. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 9, Art. No.: 1046205. https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2022.1046205 See

Chronic stress is a major source of welfare problems in many captive populations, including fishes. While we have long known that chronic stress effects arise from maladaptive expression of acute stress response pathways, predicting where and when problems will arise is difficult. Here we highlight how insights from animal personality research could be useful in this regard. Since behavior is the first line of organismal defense when challenged by a stressor, assays of shy-bold type personali...

The intensification of Scottish salmon farming has been associated with increasing demands for the monitoring and safeguarding of farmed salmon welfare. Continued growth of farm productivity, while avoiding adverse effects on salmon welfare, will require the development of effective welfare assessment tools. This paper reports on a survey of the Scottish salmon farming industry, which was conducted to understand current salmon welfare concerns and priorities for research. As part of a broade...

Wischhusen P, Betancor MB, Sprague M, Ortega A, de la Gándara F, Tocher DR & Mourente G (2023) Molecular Antioxidant Functions are Enhanced in Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus Thynnus, L.) Larvae Fed Selenium Enriched Rotifers Brachionus Rotundiformis. Antioxidants, 12 (1), Art. No.: 26. https://doi.org/10.3390/antiox12010026 See

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for fish with more than 40 selenoproteins identified, many exhibiting antioxidant functions. This study investigated the effect of dietary Se supplementation on physiological parameters, selenoprotein and antioxidant enzyme gene expression in Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT, Thunnus thynnus) larvae. First-feeding ABT larvae were divided into triplicate groups and fed rotifers Brachionus rotundiformis enriched with five different levels of Se (0, 3, 10, 3...

Herrero A, Rodger H, Hayward AD, Cousens C, Bron JE, Dagleish MP & Thompson KD (2022) Prospective Longitudinal Study of Putative Agents Involved in Complex Gill Disorder in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Pathogens, 11 (8), Art. No.: 878. https://doi.org/10.3390/pathogens11080878 See

Complex gill disorder (CGD) is an important condition in Atlantic salmon aquaculture, but the roles of the putative aetiological agents in the pathogenesis are uncertain. A longitudinal study was undertaken on two salmon farms in Scotland to determine the variations in loads of CGD-associated pathogens (Desmozoon lepeophtherii, Candidatus Branchiomonas cysticola, salmon gill pox virus (SGPV) and Neoparamoeba perurans) estimated by quantitative PCR. In freshwater, Ca. B. cysticola and SGPV wer...
