Boltana S, Aguilar A, Sanhueza N, Donoso A, Mercado L, Imarai M & Mackenzie S (2018) Behavioral Fever Drives Epigenetic Modulation of the Immune Response in Fish, Frontiers in immunology, 9, Art. No.: 1241. https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2018.01241. See

Ectotherms choose the best thermal conditions to mount a successful immune response, a phenomenon known as behavioral fever. The cumulative evidence suggests that behavioral fever impacts positively upon lymphocyte proliferation, inflammatory cytokine expression, and other immune functions. In this study, we have explored how thermal choice during infection impacts upon underpinning molecular processes and how temperature increase is coupled to the immune response. Our results show that behav...

Present study consists the outcomes of fish meal protein (FMP), shrimp head protein hydrolysate (SHPH) and 11ketotestosterone (11KT) on biology of tilapia juvenile (Oreochromis mossambicus). 10 fish/ 50L were stocked in 4 treatments with 3 replicates with (mean weight, 10.03 ± 0.01 g) for 56 days. The 11KT was added to the feed (5mg/kg) by spray (+FMP, +SHPH) and was not added in control diets (- FMP, - SHPH). Specific growth rate and food conversion efficiency of fish fed on +11KT were signi...

Fish make important contributions to food and nutrition security in low and middle income countries; however, they are also prone to contamination with a range of chemical and biological hazards. The presence of people's perception and health hazards has implications for consumer acceptability and hence the potential contribution of fish to nutrition and health. The aim of this study was to assess the chemical and microbiological quality of farmed tilapia in Egypt. We conducted a systematic l...

Huyben D, Nyman A, Vidaković A, Passoth V, Moccia R, Kiessling A, Dicksved J & Lundh T (2017) Effects of dietary inclusion of the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Wickerhamomyces anomalus on gut microbiota of rainbow trout, Aquaculture, 473, pp. 528-537. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2017.03.024. See

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed for 10 weeks on a diet containing either 30% fish meal (FM) or with 20, 40 and 60% replacement of fish meal protein with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) or a mixture of Wickerhamomyces anomalus and S. cerevisiae (WA). Luminal contents and mucosal tissue from the distal intestine were collected and analysed for yeast and bacterial loads by agar plating. Diversity and abundance were determined by sequencing of amplicons generated from the 26S rRNA (yea...

Baily J (2017) Challenges relating to the collection of high quality field samples and how to overcome them. In: Paulsen P, Bauer A & Smulders F (eds.) Game meat hygiene: Food safety and security. Wageningen, The Netherlands: Wageningen Academic Publishers, pp. 175-188. https://doi.org/10.3920/978-90-8686-840-7_10. See

The collection of high quality samples from wildlife or wild game species in the field is challenging. Sampling of free ranging species can be complicated by decay, predation and open to non-random selection. In addition, correct storage and expedient transport of samples is often fraught with technical difficulties due to inaccessibility of sampling sites and adverse environmental conditions. This chapter will expand on these challenges and propose methods to optimise sample collection and t...
