Napier JA & Betancor MB (2022) Engineering plant-based feedstocks for sustainable aquaculture. Current Opinion in Plant Biology. See

There is a growing recognition of the challenges associated with ensuring good nutrition for all without compromising the environment. This is particularly true for aquaculture, given the reliance on marine extraction for key feed ingredients, yet at the same time it delivers key nutrients such as omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. This review will consider progress in transitioning away from oceanic-derived fish oils as feed ingredients, focusing on the emerging transgenic plant...

Broughton R, Tocher DR, Napier JA & Betancor MB (2022) Profiling Phospholipids within Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar with Regards to a Novel Terrestrial Omega-3 Oil Source. Metabolites, 12 (9), Art. No.: 851. https://doi.org/10.3390/metabo12090851 See

The development and inclusion of novel oils derived from genetically modified (GM) oilseeds into aquafeeds, to supplement and supplant current terrestrial oilseeds, as well as fish oils, warrants a more thorough investigation into lipid biochemical alterations within finfish species, such as Atlantic salmon. Five tissues were examined across two harvesting timepoints to establish whether lipid isomeric alterations could be detected between a standard commercial diet versus a diet that incorpo...

Telfer TC, Bostock J, Oliver RLA, Corner RA & Falconer L (2022) CAPOT: A flexible rapid assessment model to estimate local deposition of fish cage farm wastes. Marine Environmental Research, 182, Art. No.: 105788. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.2022.105788 See

The Cage Aquaculture Particulate Output and Transport (CAPOT) model is an easy to use and flexible farm-scale model that can rapidly estimate particulate waste deposition from fish cage production. This paper describes and tests the model and demonstrates its use for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). The spreadsheet-based model gives outputs for waste distribution in a variety of spatial modelling software formats, used for further analysis. The model was tested a...

Gebru G, Belay G, Vallejo-Trujillo A, Dessie T, Gheyas A & Hanotte O (2022) Ecological niche modelling as a tool to identify candidate indigenous chicken ecotypes of Tigray (Ethiopia). Frontiers in Genetics, 13, Art. No.: 968961. https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2022.968961 See

The Tigray region is an ancient entry route for the domestic chickens into Africa. The oldest African chicken bones were found in this region at Mezber, a pre-Aksumite rural farming settlement. They were dated to around 800-400 BCE. Since then, the farming communities of the region have integrated chicken into their livelihoods. The region is also recognised for its high chicken-to-human population ratio and diverse and complex geography, ranging from 500 to 4,000 m above sea level (m.a.s.l.)...

Carlos Campos-Sánchez J, Gonzalez-Silvera D, Gong X, Broughton R, Guardiola FA, Betancor MB & Ángeles M (2022) Implication of adipocytes from subcutaneous adipose tissue and fatty. Fish and Shellfish Immunology, 131, pp. 160-171. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fsi.2022.09.066 See

The role of subcutaneous adipose tissue adipocytes and the effects of fatty acids on carrageenan-induced skin inflammation in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) were studied. Fish were injected intramuscularly with phosphate-buffered saline (control) or λ-carrageenin (1%), and skin samples collected at the injection site at 3 and 6 h post-injection (p.i.) were processed for histological study. In addition, the presence and levels of lipid classes, fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and eicosanoid...
