Published: July 1989

The haemopoiesis of Sparus auratus is formed by the following series: erythro-thrombopoietic, granulopoietic, lymphoplasmapoietic and monocytes. All the cells which form these series originate from one cell called the stem-cell, there being a network of reticular cells and melanomacrophage centres amongst these cells. The erythropoietic series comprises erythroblast, proerythrocytes, polychromatocytes, reticulocytes and erythrocytes. The morphological changes which occur during the maturing process are: heterochromatinization of the nuclei, the gradual decrease of organelles in the cytoplasm and the increase of the haemoglobin. We also observed thrombocytes characterized by the presence of numerous vacuoles and abundant glycogen in the cytoplasm. In the lymphoplasmapoietic series are seen lymphoblasts, lymphocytes and plasma cells. The lymphocytes are cells of different sizes with small microvilli in the cell surface and scanty cytoplasm. Outstanding in the plasma cell is the well developed granular endoplasmic reticulum. The monocytes are large cells with an indented nucleus and cytoplasm containing numerous vesicles of different sizes and also a few lysosomes.

The presence of pharmaceuticals in aquatic ecosystems and their impact on humans and the environment are growing concerns in environmental health. This study aimed to evaluate the potential reproductive effects of diclofenac, ibuprofen, and aspirin on dissociated ovarian and testicular cells from Arabian Sea bream, Acanthopagrus arabicus. The cells were exposed to varying concentrations of the pharmaceuticals for 48 h.

This study explores the impact of geographical origin, harvest time, and cooking on the volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles of wild and reared seabream from the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian Seas. A Proton Transfer Reaction-Time of Flight-Mass Spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) allowed for VOC profiling with high sensitivity and high throughput. A total of 227 mass peaks were identified.

The significant microbiota variability represents a key feature that makes the full comprehension of the functional interaction between microbiota and the host an ongoing challenge. To overcome this limitation, in this study, fish intestinal microbiota was analyzed through a meta-analysis, identifying the core microbiota and constructing stochastic Bayesian network (BN) models with SAMBA. We combined three experiments performed with gilthead sea bream juveniles of the same hatchery batch, reared at the same season/location, and fed with diets enriched on processed animal proteins (PAP) and other alternative ingredients (NOPAP-PP, NOPAP-SCP).

Co-products from the frozen fish processing industry often lead to financial losses. Therefore, it is essential to transform these co-products into profitable goods. This study explores the production of fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) from three co-products: the heads and bones of black scabbardfish (), the carcasses of gilthead seabream (), and the trimmings of Nile perch ().

One of the main challenges in aquaculture is the constant search for sustainable alternative feed ingredients that can successfully replace fishmeal (FM) without any negative effects on fish growth and health. The goal of the present study was to develop a toolbox for rapidly anticipating the dynamics of fish growth following the introduction of a new feed; nonlethal, biochemical, and molecular markers that provide insights into physiological changes in the fish. A nutritional challenge by feeding a conventional feed rich in FM protein (FM diet) versus an experimental feed rich in plant protein (PP) and low FM inclusion (PP diet), in 20 different families of gilthead sea bream () was performed.
