Plasma biochemistry and hematology reference intervals are integral health assessment tools in all medical fields, including aquatic animal health. As sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) are becoming aquaculturally and economically more important, this manuscript provides essential reference intervals (RI) for their plasma biochemistry and hematology along with reference photomicrographs of blood cells in healthy, fasted sablefish. Blood cell morphology can differ between fish species.

Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterial pathogen that can cause grave and sometimes chronic infections in patients with weakened immune systems and cystic fibrosis. It is expected that sodium/proton transporters in the cellular membrane are crucial for the organism's survival and growth under certain conditions, since many cellular processes rely on the maintenance of Na and H transmembrane gradients.

Results: This study focused on the role of the primary and secondary proton and/or sodium pumps Mrp, Nuo, NhaB, NhaP, and NQR for growth, biofilm formation, and swarming motility in P.
