First paragraph: THE UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) has funded a new Animal Welfare Research Network (AWRN) to bring together animal welfare researchers, those working in related fields and other professionals with an interest in animal welfare, including representatives from industry, charities and government. The core aims of the AWRN are to foster enhanced collaboration within the UK animal welfare research community and other relevant disciplines to: fac...

A comparison of immune responses and disease resistance in clonal lines of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus L. See

Five clonal lines of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus were produced and propagated. Three second generation clonal lines (clonal lines A, B and C) were produced from females from the respective clonal lines by meiotic gynogenesis followed by sib mating between female and sex reversed neomales from the same clonal line. Clonal lines D and E were first generation clones produced by meiotic gynogenesis from an XX mitotic gynogenetic daughter of an XY neofemale. Survival rate at both ...

Ruiz MA, Hernandez-Ruiz CM, Caballero MJ, Fernandez-Palacios H, Saleh R, Izquierdo MS & Betancor MB (2019) Appearance of systemic granulomatosis is modulated by the dietary supplementation of vitamin E and C in meagre (Argyrosomus regius) larvae fed inert microdiets (Forthcoming) [Supplementation of vitamin E and C prevent granulomatosis in meagre larvae]. Aquaculture. See

Systemic granulomatosis has already been reported in meagre larvae with an adequate feeding protocol and enrichment media preventing its appearance in the first weeks of life. Afterwards, the control of this disease could be prevented through nutritional components of the inert food, being the antioxidants the key to success. For this reason, in the present study, meagre larvae were reared from 30 days post hatching (dph) with five isonitrogenous and isolipidic experimental microdiets with di...

Pourahmad F, Adams A, Thompson KD & Richards RH (2019) Identification of aquatic mycobacteria based on sequence analysis of the 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer region. Journal of Medical Microbiology, 68 (2), pp. 221-229. https://doi.org/10.1099/jmm.0.000891 See

Purpose. Mycobacteria are common causative agents of bacterial infections in many species of freshwater and marine fish. Identification of mycobacteria to the species level based on phenotypic tests is inappropriate and time consuming. Molecular methods such as partial or entire gene sequence determination in mycobacteria have been employed to resolve these problems. The objective of this study was to assess the use of sequence analysis of the mycobacterial 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer...

Fitzer SC, Plancq J, Floyd CJ, Kemp FM & Toney JL (2019) Increased pCO2 changes the lipid production in important aquacultural feedstock algae Isochrysis galbana, but not in Tetraselmis suecica (Forthcoming/Available Online). Aquaculture and Fisheries. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aaf.2019.02.008 See

Increased anthropogenic CO2 emissions are leading to an increase in CO2 uptake by the world's oceans and seas, resulting in ocean acidification with a decrease in global ocean water pH by as much as 0.3–0.4 units by the year 2100. The direct effects of changing pCO2 on important microalgal feedstocks are not as well understood. Few studies have focused on lipid composition changes in specific algal species in response to ocean acidification and yet microalgae are an indispensable food source ...
