Public Health Nutrition p. 9. https://doi.org/10.1017/s1368980019002295 See

Objective: Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing food production sectors in many low-income and food-deficit countries with aquatic ecozones. Yet its specific impact on nutrition and livelihood in local communities, where commercial and/or export-orientated aquaculture activities are developed, is largely unknown. Design: The present narrative and argumentative review aims to provide an overview of our current understanding of the connections between aquaculture agro-ecosystems, local and...

Six A, Krajangwong S, Crumlish M, Zadoks RN & Walker D (2018) Galleria mellonella as an infection model for the multi-host pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae reflects hypervirulence of strains associated with human invasive disease. Virulence, 10 (1), pp. 600-609. https://doi.org/10.1080/21505594.2019.1631660 See

Streptococcus agalactiae, or group B Streptococcus (GBS), infects diverse hosts including humans and economically important species such as cattle and fishes. In the context of human health, GBS is a major cause of neonatal infections and an emerging cause of invasive disease in adults and of foodborne disease in Southeast Asia. Here we show that GBS is able to establish a systemic infection in Galleria mellonella larvae that is associated with extensive bacterial replication and dose-depende...

Syaifudin M, Bekaert M, Taggart JB, Bartie KL, Wehner S, Palaiokostas C, Khan MGQ, Selly SC, Hulata G, D’Cotta H, Baroiller J, McAndrew BJ & Penman DJ (2019) Species-Specific Marker Discovery in Tilapia. Scientific Reports, 9, Art. No.: 13001. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-48339-2 See

Tilapias (family Cichlidae) are of importance in aquaculture and fisheries. Hybridisation and introgression are common within tilapia genera but are difficult to analyse due to limited numbers of species-specific genetic markers. We tested the potential of double digested restriction-site associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing for discovering single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to distinguish between 10 tilapia species. Analysis of ddRAD data revealed 1,371 shared SNPs in the de novo-base...

Sánchez-Vázquez FJ, López-Olmeda JF, Vera LM, Migaud H, López-Patiño MA & Míguez JM (2019) Environmental Cycles, Melatonin, and Circadian Control of Stress Response in Fish. Frontiers in Endocrinology, 10, Art. No.: 279. https://doi.org/10.3389/fendo.2019.00279 See

Fish have evolved a biological clock to cope with environmental cycles, so they display circadian rhythms in most physiological functions including stress response. Photoperiodic information is transduced by the pineal organ into a rhythmic secretion of melatonin, which is released into the blood circulation with high concentrations at night and low during the day. The melatonin rhythmic profile is under the control of circadian clocks in most fish (except salmonids), and it is considered as ...

The Physiology of Smoltification and Seawater Adaptation in Rainbow Trout See

Seawater-transferred rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) has become an attractive aquaculture product in recent years. Industrial interest is mainly due to its resistance to infectious pancreatic necrosis and its adaptability to brackish water, which allows farming in otherwise unexploited locations. However, most practices for the aquaculture of this species have been imported from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) without evidence data supporting their suitability for the species. These include...
