A Baseline for Skeletal Investigations in Medaka (): The Effects of Rearing Density on the Postcranial Phenotype.

is increasingly used as a model in biomedical skeletal research. The standard approach is to generate genetic variants with particular skeletal phenotypes which resemble skeletal diseases in humans. The proper diagnosis of skeletal variation is key for this type of research.

Organic Selenium (OH-MetSe) Effect on Whole Body Fatty Acids and Gene Expression against Viral Infection in Gilthead Seabream () Juveniles.

The supplementation of fish diets with OH-SeMet reduces oxidative stress and modulates immune response against bacterial infection. However, despite the importance of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish nutrition and their high risk of oxidation, the potential protective effect of OH-SeMet on these essential fatty acids has not been studied in detail. Moreover, while viral infection is very relevant in seabream production, no studies have focused the Se effects against viral infection.

Influence of Parental Fatty Acid Desaturase 2 () Expression and Diet on Gilthead Seabream () Offspring Expression during Ontogenesis.

Previous studies have shown that it is possible to increase the ability of marine fish to produce long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid from their 18C precursors by nutritional programming or using broodstock with a higher fatty acyl desaturase 2 () expression. However, those studies failed to show the effect of these interventions on the expression of the gene in the developing egg. Moreover, there were no studies on the temporal expression of the during ontogeny in the gilthead sea bream ().
