‘Molecular characterization of a gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) muscle

Understanding the control of piscine fatty acid metabolism is important for determining the nutritional requirements of fish, and hence for the production of optimal aquaculture diets. The regulation and expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1; EC No 2.3.1.21) are critical processes in the control fatty acid metabolism, and here we report a cDNA from gilthead sea bream (Sparus aura...

Juvenile gilthead sea bream (Sparus auratus

In teleost fish, as in other vertebrates, calcium is of key importance for numerous physiological processes. The skeleton of vertebrates consists mainly of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. It serves an important role as it determines body shape, protective aspects (scales, bone plates) and as a buffer internal reservoir for calcium and phosphorus. In teleosts, ~99% of the whole-body cal...

Short title: Parathyroid hormones and estradiol in sea bream Key words: fish, sea bream, calcium, phosphate, estradiol, PTHrP

Estradiol (E2) increases circulating calcium and phosphate levels in fish, thus acting as a hypercalcemic and hyperphosphatemic factor during periods of high calcium requirements such as during vitellogenesis. Since, parathyroid hormone related protein (PTHrP) has been shown to be calciotropic in fish, we hypothesized that the two hormones could be mediating the same process. Sea bream, Sparus ...

Exposure of eggs to solar UV-B leads to reduced hatching rates in two sparid fishes, red sea bream Pagrus major and black sea bream Acanthopagrus schlegeli.

Hatching success was examined under exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) using filters to give three different light conditions [C1: UV-B, UV-A and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), C2: UV-A and PAR, C3: PAR] in red Pagrus major and black Acanthopagrus schlegeli sea bream. Hatching rate of both species was reduced by an exposure over a 2 day period to UVR and was not significa...
