Olfactory sensitivity to changes in environmental [Ca(2+)] in the marine teleost Sparus aurata.
Estuarine and/or migratory teleosts may experience large and rapid changes in external [Ca(2+)]. Previous studies have largely centred on the physiological mechanisms that maintain a constant plasma [Ca(2+)] in the face of such external fluctuations, but little work has been directed to examining how these changes may originally be detected. We present evidence that the olfactory system of the ...
متن کاملDifferential localization and regulation of two aquaporin-1 homologs in the intestinal epithelia of the marine teleost Sparus aurata.
Aquaporin (AQP)-mediated intestinal water absorption may play a major osmoregulatory role in euryhaline teleosts, although the molecular identity and anatomical distribution of AQPs in the fish gastrointestinal tract is poorly known. Here, we have investigated the functional properties and cellular localization in the intestine of two gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) homologs of mammalian aqua...
متن کاملTwo estrogen receptors expressed in the teleost fish, Sparus aurata: cDNA cloning, characterization and tissue distribution.
Estrogen is an essential hormone for many reproductive and non-reproductive functions. The function of estrogen in the reproductive cycle of seabream (Sparus aurata), a protandrous hermaphrodite teleost fish, is complex but it is understood to be involved in sex inversion, a process that occurs in some individuals during the second reproductive season. Estrogen action is mediated by two estroge...
متن کاملGilthead seabream - Sparus aurata
Distribution and capture Th e gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata, is a subtropical Sparidae distributed from 62°N 15°N, 17°W 43°E. It occurs naturally in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea (rare), and in the Eastern Atlantic, from the British Isles, Strait of Gibraltar to Cape Verde and around the Canary Islands (1). Gilthead sea bream are captured with traditional and sporting equipment, and so...
متن کاملOlfactory sensitivity to changes in environmental [Ca(2+)] in the freshwater teleost Carassius auratus: an olfactory role for the Ca(2+)-sensing receptor?
Olfactory sensitivity to changes in environmental Ca(2+) has been demonstrated in two teleost species; a salmonid (Oncorhynchus nerka) and a marine/estuarine perciform (Sparus aurata). To assess whether this phenomenon is restricted to species that normally experience large fluctuations in external ion concentrations (e.g. moving from sea water to fresh water) or is present in a much wider rang...
