Bataillon, cc63, 34095 Montpellier Cedex 5, France. Summary: The existence of cryptic salinity-related phenotypes has been hypothesized in the “euryhaline” sea bass (Dicen- trarchus labrax). How differential osmoregulation costs between freshwater and saltwater environments affect fitness and phenotypic variation is misunderstood in this species. During an experiment lasting around five months, we investigated changes in the whole body mass and in the expression of growth-related genes (insulin-like growth factor 1 [IGF-1]; growth hormone receptor [GHR]) in the intestine and the liver of sea bass thriving in sea water (SSW), successfully acclimated to freshwater (SFW), and unsuccessfully acclimated to freshwater (UFW). Albeit non-significant, a trend toward change in body mass was demonstrated among SSW, UFW and SFW fish, suggesting that SSW fish were a mixture of the other phe- notypes. Several mortality peaks were observed during the experiment, with batches of UFW fish showing higher expression in the osmoregulatory intestine due to down-regulation of genes in the liver and significant up-regulation of GHR in the intestine compared with SFW fish.

  • D4.3 3 Newsletter 3 Aquatt AQUAEXCEL 2020 Deliverable D4.3 3
    D4.3_3 Newsletter 3 AquaTT AQUAEXCEL 2020 Deliverable D4.3_3 Executive Summary Objectives The objective of the newsletter is to facilitate communication and dissemination of the AQUAEXCEL 2020 project ensuring a widespread awareness to all stakeholders. This third newsletter aims to communicate newest AQUAEXCEL 2020 research advances as well as its Transnational Access (TNA) and training course programme, and to introduce another one of the studied species in AQUAEXCEL 2020 and other information of interest. Rationale: AquaTT designed the newsletter following the brand identity of the project (logo, characterising project colours, etc). Content has been based on activities carried out in the project so far like events and research findings, the TNA programme, one of the aquaculture species and general information of interest. The draft newsletter was sent to all AQUAEXCEL 2020 partners to validate the content of the third newsletter. The final newsletter has been sent out to the project partners, stakeholder database contacts and any other interested individuals. The AQUAEXCEL 2020 project website and the collaborative platform will store the newsletter archive. Main Results: The third AQUAEXCEL 2020 newsletter is 8 pages long and features ‘AQUAEXCEL2020 News and Highlights’ like a success story from the TNA programme of AQUAEXCEL 2020 , new publications and feature promotional articles, as well as past events like the Industry & Research Advisory Panel (IRAP) meeting and upcoming events. Emphasis is on the major components of AQUAEXCEL 2020 , the ‘TNA programme’ including the featured success story, the next Calls for Access and a feature of a partner’s TNA facility, as well as an announcement of the ‘Training Courses’.

Orientador – Doutor Jim Ellis Categoria – Marine Ecologist Afiliação – Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) Co-orientadora – Doutora Ivone Figueiredo Categoria – Researcher Afiliação – Instituto das Pescas da Investigação e do Mar (INIAP/IPIMAR) Sumário executivo Os peixes elasmobrânquios desempenham um papel importante nos ecossistemas marinhos e as características dos seus ciclos de vida tornam-nos muito vulnearáveis à exploração comercial. Embora, existam algumas pescarias dirigidas a espécies de elasmobrânquios com carácter sazonal e/ou local ao largo das ilhas Britânicas, os elasmobrânquios são comunemente capturados em pescarias mistas demersais. A pescaria da palangre dirigida a espécies demersais é conhecida por ser altamente selectiva para certas espécies de elasmobrânquios, embora os padrões espaciais e temporais destas pescarias não tenham, ainda, sido descritos. Por conseguinte, uma descrição geral destas pescarias ao largo das ilhas britânicas foi conduzida. As principais zonas, em termos de desembarques na pescaria da palangre demersal (1990-2007) foram o sul do Mar do Norte (ICES IVc), Mar da Irlanda (VIIa) e Mar do Norte central (IVb). Enquanto que, as principais espécies capturadas nestas pescarias são o galhudo- malhado, bacalhau do Atlântico, raias e safio. Desde 2007, as capturas acessórias de raias no Mar do Norte têm uma quota de 25%, a qual foi revista recentemente, sendo apenas obrigatória para as embarcações com mais de 15 m de comprimento total (Regulamento CE n.

  • Systematic List of the Romanian Vertebrate Fauna
    Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle © Décembre Vol. LIII pp. 377–411 «Grigore Antipa» 2010 DOI: 10.2478/v10191-010-0028-1 SYSTEMATIC LIST OF THE ROMANIAN VERTEBRATE FAUNA DUMITRU MURARIU Abstract. Compiling different bibliographical sources, a total of 732 taxa of specific and subspecific order remained. It is about the six large vertebrate classes of Romanian fauna. The first class (Cyclostomata) is represented by only four species, and Pisces (here considered super-class) – by 184 taxa. The rest of 544 taxa belong to Tetrapoda super-class which includes the other four vertebrate classes: Amphibia (20 taxa); Reptilia (31); Aves (382) and Mammalia (110 taxa). Résumé. Cette contribution à la systématique des vertébrés de Roumanie s’adresse à tous ceux qui sont intéressés par la zoologie en général et par la classification de ce groupe en spécial. Elle représente le début d’une thème de confrontation des opinions des spécialistes du domaine, ayant pour but final d’offrir aux élèves, aux étudiants, aux professeurs de biologie ainsi qu’à tous ceux intéressés, une synthèse actualisée de la classification des vertébrés de Roumanie. En compilant différentes sources bibliographiques, on a retenu un total de plus de 732 taxons d’ordre spécifique et sous-spécifique. Il s’agît des six grandes classes de vertébrés. La première classe (Cyclostomata) est représentée dans la faune de Roumanie par quatre espèces, tandis que Pisces (considérée ici au niveau de surclasse) l’est par 184 taxons. Le reste de 544 taxons font partie d’une autre surclasse (Tetrapoda) qui réunit les autres quatre classes de vertébrés: Amphibia (20 taxons); Reptilia (31); Aves (382) et Mammalia (110 taxons).

Applied Research, Education And Training Characteristics, structure and resources of the sector Summary In 2004, aquaculture production in Morocco was 1 690 tonnes, which only accounted for 0.19 percent of total national fish production. Marine aquaculture output was 788 tonnes, or 47 percent of aggregate national aquaculture production, mainly of European seabass and gilthead seabream which accounted for 91 percent of total production. These two species were being intensively farmed, in floating cages in the lagoons, and in open water. This kind of aquaculture had begun in the 1980s, but then it stagnated, and even declined, as a result of the steep collapse of European market prices and the winding-up of two aquaculture companies. At the present time, there are two aquaculture companies still operating along the Mediterranean coast. The production is almost entirely exported to Italy, Spain and France. In 2004, inland aquaculture produced 685 tonnes, or 40 percent of total national aquaculture production. It was largely dominated by the common carp, accounting for 88 percent of output.
