Abstract:
... The growth, metabolic and blood parameters and oxidative stress biomarkers effects of adding Lippia alba essential oil (EO) to the diet (0=control, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0mL EO per kg diet) of juvenile silver catfish were investigated for 60days. Liver and muscle were used to measure the glucose, glycogen and lactate levels. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) was assessed as a marker of oxidative damage. Enzy ...

Abstract:
... Members of the genus Flavobacterium are widely distributed microorganisms that can be recovered from a wide variety of environments. There has been an increase in the number of species isolated from fish or fish farm environments, some of them possibly associated with disease. Fourteen Flavobacterium-like isolates recovered from gills, surface of eggs and liver of rainbow trout were characterized ...

Abstract:
... Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) biosynthesis is limited in many marine species, normally due to lack of Δ5 fatty acyl desaturase (Fad) activity. Among exceptions, abalone possesses considerable LC-PUFA conversion ability from C18 precursors. However, its characterization and relevant enzyme are not well characterized. Here we successfully cloned and characterized two Δ5 Fads in aba ...

Abstract:
... Enzymes that lengthen the carbon chain of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are keys to the biosynthesis of the highly unsaturated fatty acids. Here we report on the molecular cloning and functional characterization of a cDNA encoding a putative elongase of very long-chain fatty acids (ELOVL), a critical enzyme that catalyses the elongation of fatty acids (FAs) including PUFAs. The full length c ...

Abstract:
... The release of hatchery-reared American lobster (Homarus americanus) is used, on some occasions, as a tool to enhance depleted lobster stocks. Current Canadian lobster enhancement programs rely on the release of postlarvae (stages IV and V), which are still vulnerable to high mortality. We hypothesized that larvae enriched in triglycerides (TAG) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) during their ...

Abstract:
... The European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax is a key species in fisheries and aquaculture in Europe and Africa. In fish farming, genetic tracking of broodstock and progenies, as well as artificial fertilization, is recommended in order to avoid genetic erosion in founder populations. Here we examined the performance of F1 fish from an artificially reproduced broodstock of European sea bass over a ...
