Abstract The blue shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris was exposed to pond sediment for 48 h and its physiological response was studied in relation to molt stage. Shrimp were maintained in cages within a semi-intensive pond after 4 months of rearing. Hypo-osmoregulatory capa...

International audience; Trophic conditions and water temperature strongly influence bivalve physiological processes and metabolism. In black-lip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera, these parameters have been shown to affect shell biomineralization. The present study in...

Fishmeal (FM) possesses one of the highest buffering capacities in comparison to most alternative vegetable aquafeed ingredients and its decreasing content in current formulations might affect the ideal gastrointestinal environment for digestive enzyme action and gut ba...

To overcome the bottleneck of reproduction in cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, aquaculture development, there is need for new tools or refinement of methods. While attaining low welfare impact on individuals, procedures to allow for in vivo individual sexual and maturity ...

International audience; A glycoproteic gonadotropin (GtH) was partially isolated from pituitaries of sexually mature Sparus aurata and used for the development of its radioimmunoassay (RIA). Two major chromatographic steps were used for the isolation of the GtH: affinit...

Abstract Sea anemones of genus Aiptasia are commonly used as biological models for biotechnological and molecular research. They are also employed to study the symbiotic interactions between cnidarians and zooxanthellae. In addition, Aiptasia is an important prey for th...

Due to its high protein synthesis and deposition rates, skeletal muscle protein deposition is a major determinant of fish growth. Dietary protein complexity is likely to influence protein utilization and deposition in skeletal muscle, possibly affecting fish myogenesis....

Three experimental diets in which fish meal was partially (50 and 75%, named PP50 and PP75 diets, respectively) or totally replaced (PP100 diet) by plant protein sources were fed to rainbow trout and gilthead sea bream. We studied the effects of these diets on digestive...

We have developed a mathematical model which estimates the growth performance of Atlantic salmon in aquaculture production units. The model consists of sub-models estimating the behaviour and energetics of the fish, the distribution of feed pellets, and the abiotic cond...

Abstract The transition of Sepia officinalis culture to industrial large scale has been hampered due to bottlenecks related to the limited knowledge on nutritional physiology of the species. Determination of the endogenous ability of S . officinalis hatchlings to metabo...
