The pharmacokinetic properties and residue elimination of florfenicol (FLO) and its amine were investigated in European seabass Dicentrarchus labrax at 24°C. The trial mainly included analysis of FLO in plasma after a single dose dietary administration of 10 mg/kg and in muscle plus skin following a multiple dosing (10 mg kg  day for 7 days) to estimate pharmacokinetics and residue depletion, respectively. The maximum plasma concentration of FLO was measured to be 1.64 μg/ml, 4 hr post administration. The elimination half-life (t ) and the area under the concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity (AUC ) were calculated to be 13.0 hr and 34.7 μg h  ml , respectively. Withdrawal times of FLO and its amine were calculated to be 46.3 degree-days, indicating a fast removal from the edible tissues of treated European seabass. Overall, FLO can be considered as a potentially efficient antibacterial agent for farmed European seabass provided that additional efforts will be devoted towards its in vitro and clinical efficacy.

The energetic costs of being in stressful conditions require the involvement of hormones associated with metabolic support, which may also influence immune function. The present work aimed to explore the links between tryptophan nutrition and metabolic responses in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) held under space-confined conditions, and subsequently submitted to an immune challenge. To study that, two dietary treatments were evaluated, i.

Article Synopsis
  • Genome scans allow researchers to examine genetic variations linked to specific traits, but correlating individual genes with larger functional groups can be challenging.
  • This study focused on around 600,000 SNPs from European seabass populations to identify 96 candidate genes, highlighting the importance of epigenetic influences and connections to domestication-related traits.
  • The research found interactions among candidate genes, particularly in pathways related to "chromatin organization," indicating a significant role for epigenetic mechanisms in the domestication process of European seabass.

Article Synopsis
  • - This case study examines the prevalence and impact of the parasite Caligus clemensi on European seabass and flathead grey mullet at a marine fish farm, finding seasonal peaks in infestations during winter and spring respectively, along with significant declines in the warmer months.
  • - Morphological and molecular analyses confirmed C. clemensi as the identified parasite, highlighting its physical traits and genetic characteristics, while also revealing a strong immune response in infected fish indicated by increased interleukin-1β levels and severe tissue damage upon evaluation.
  • - Environmental assessments showed water quality issues linked to local oil activities, including high levels of suspended solids and dissolved ions, which likely contributed to the conditions favoring parasite growth and reduced fish resistance.
