Peptide and neuropeptide diversity and function in bivalves Open
The Mollusca are the second most specious animal phyla after arthropods. They are morphologically diverse and exhibit high variability of their nervous systems, which have evolved as they adapted to an extreme range of ecological niches. R…

Bacterial <span>16S</span> Ribosomal Gene Fingerprints as a Tool to Diagnose and Mitigate Fish Larvae Gut Dysbiosis Open
Dysbiosis is associated with shifts in the diversity or relative abundance of beneficial versus harmful bacteria, leading to health issues in organisms. This study investigated gut bacterial dysbiosis associated with larval quality using 1…

Hypoxia impairs survival and alters immune and iron metabolism gene expression during shark early ontogeny Open
The global oxygen inventory has been declining worldwide, primarily due to climate change. The importance of oxygen for aerobic respiration and its homeostasis makes declining oxygen levels a concern, particularly during energy demanding l…

Metamorphosis-associated immune system maturation in Senegalese sole Open
The thyroid hormones (THs) are proposed as putative regulators of immune system maturation in developing teleost fish. To gain insight into this process the Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) that has a well-characterized TH-driven metam…

Olfactory specialization in the Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis): CO2 acidified water triggers nostril-specific immune processes Open
Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the ocean is changing seawater chemistry. Behavioural alterations in CO2 exposed fish have been linked to changes in the central nervous system (CNS). However, we hypothesise that receptor cells in direct …

Dual-compartment-gate organic transistors for monitoring biogenic amines from food Open
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) more than 14% of the world's food production is lost every year before reaching retail, and another 17% is lost during the retail stage. The use of the expirati…

Gene Expression Comparison Between the Injured Tubercule Skin of Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) and the Scale Skin of Brill (Scophthalmus rhombus) Open
Turbot and brill are two congeneric commercial flatfish species with striking differences in skin organization. The calcified appendages in turbot skin are conical tubercles, while in brill, they are elasmoid scales. A skin injury involvin…

Immunological resilience of a temperate catshark to a simulated marine heatwave Open
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have recently been proposed to be more relevant in driving population changes than the continuous increase in average temperatures associated with climate change. The causal processes underpinning MHW effects in sha…

Neuropeptides regulate shell growth in the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) Open
In bivalves, which are molluscs enclosed in a biomineralized shell, a diversity of neuropeptide precursors has been described but their involvement in shell growth has been largely neglected. Here, using a symmetric marine bivalve, the Med…

Evolution of chitin-synthase in molluscs and their response to ocean acidification Open
Chitin-synthase (CHS) is found in most eukaryotes and has a complex evolutionary history. Research into CHS has mainly been in the context of biomineralization of mollusc shells an area of high interest due to the consequences of ocean aci…

Insights into core molecular changes associated with metamorphosis in gilthead seabream larvae across diverse hatcheries Open
Early development is a critical period in fish aquaculture and is influenced by biotic and abiotic factors (e.g., temperature, feed) that can vary significantly between hatcheries, making it difficult to identify core factors determining q…
