Graham P, Brundu G, Scolamacchia M, Giglioli A, Addis P, Artioli Y, Telfer T & Carboni S (2019) Improving pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas, Thunberg, 1793) production in Mediterranean coastal lagoons: Validation of the growth model "ShellSIM" on traditional and novel farming methods. Aquaculture. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2019.734612 See

Bivalve farming is a major European aquaculture activity, representing 48.5% of total biomass produced. Italy is one of the largest consumers of oysters but local production does not meet the market demand. Italy has approximately 384,000 ha of shallow lagoons in its coastal area, already devoted to extensive aquaculture activities, which could also represent potential locations for Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas, Thunberg, 1793) farming. The aim of this study is to enhance Pacific oyster...

First paragraph: Most freshwater fish would not be able to cope with the osmotic stress intrinsic to seawater, quickly dehydrating and dying, and so are bound to freshwater ecosystems (Quinn et al., 2016). However, anadromous salmonids have developed a strategy to minimize osmotic counter effects, thus allowing them to live in both freshwater, ideal for safe spawning, hatching and early growth stages, and seawater environments, rich in energy resources for fast growth (Hendry et al., 2004; Li...

The Japanese eel Anguilla japonica is a catadromous fish species with considerable farming scale. Previous studies showed that dietary α-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) and linoleic acid (18:2n-6) satisfied essential fatty acid requirements in eel, which suggested that Japanese eel should have a complete pathway for the biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA). However, existing knowledge was insufficient to explain the molecular basis of LC-PUFA biosynthetic capacity in eel....

Wang S, Wang M, Zhanga H, Yana X, Guoa H, You C, Tocher DR, Chen C & Li Y (2019) Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism in carnivorous marine teleosts: insight into the profile of endogenous biosynthesis in golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus. Aquaculture Research. See

Golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus is an important farmed carnivorous marine teleost. Although some enzymes for long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) biosynthesis have been identified, the ability of T. ovatus for endogenous biosynthesis is unknown. Here, we evaluated in vivo LC-PUFA synthesis in a 56-day culture experiment using six diets (D1-D6) formulated with linseed and soybean oils to produce dietary linolenic/linoleic acid (ALA/LA) ratios ranging from 0.14 to 2.20. The contro...

Climate change at the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is predicted to cause major changes in phytoplankton community composition, however, detailed seasonal field data remain limited and it is largely unknown how (changes in) environmental factors influence cell size and ecosystem function. Physicochemical drivers of phytoplankton community abundance, taxonomic composition and size class were studied over two productive austral seasons in the coastal waters of the climatically sensitive WAP...
