Microbiota Succession of Whole and Filleted European Sea Bass () during Storage under Aerobic and MAP Conditions via 16S rRNA Gene High-Throughput Sequencing Approach.

In the present work, the profiles of bacterial communities of whole and filleted European sea bass (), during several storage temperatures (0, 4, 8 and 12 °C) under aerobic and Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) conditions, were examined via the 16S rRNA High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) approach. Sensorial attributes were also assessed to determine products' shelf-life. Results indicated that shelf-life was strongly dependent on handling, as well as on temperature and atmosphere conditions.

Estimates of recent and historical effective population size in turbot, seabream, seabass and carp selective breeding programmes.

Background: The high fecundity of fish species allows intense selection to be practised and therefore leads to fast genetic gains. Based on this, numerous selective breeding programmes have been started in Europe in the last decades, but in general, little is known about how the base populations of breeders have been built. Such knowledge is important because base populations can be created from very few individuals, which can lead to small effective population sizes and associated reductions in genetic variability.

Near-Complete Genome Sequence of a Fish Nervous Necrosis Virus Isolated from a Clinical Disease Outbreak in Farm-Reared Bream in Spain.

larvae infected by viral nervous necrosis were collected from an aquaculture fish farm. The isolated viral genome, composed of two segments (RNA1 and RNA2), was sequenced and analyzed comparatively. Phylogenetic tree analyses revealed that the isolated strain is a reassortant, exhibiting a red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV)-type RNA1 and a striped jack nervous necrosis virus (SJNNV)-type RNA2.
