Climate change-related stressors in aquaculture: modulation of gill microbiota and transcriptome in Atlantic salmon
Climate change poses a significant and escalating threat to aquaculture, particularly through rising temperatures, marine heatwaves, and jellyfish blooms. This study investigates the complex interplay of these stressors on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), focusing on gill health. Researchers utilized advanced sequencing techniques to analyze gill microbiota and transcriptome responses following exposure to elevated temperatures and jellyfish. Findings reveal a significant shift in microbial communities, notably increased Streptococcus and Staphylococcus, alongside altered gene expression related to immune response and tissue integrity.
The COVID-19 vaccine may offer brain cancer patients a surprise benefit
Here’s what the first mRNA flu vaccine could mean for flu season
Emerging data validate a significant advancement in influenza prevention: Moderna’s mFlusiva, the first mRNA flu vaccine, demonstrates superior efficacy compared to traditional flu shots. Clinical trials indicate stronger, longer-lasting immunity and improved protection against infection. This innovative approach represents a potential paradigm shift in seasonal influenza management, offering a more robust defense against prevalent strains. For further exploration of immunological advancements, see our related article, "How one amino acid might help fight colon cancer and infections."
From by-product to benefit: the effect of white grape marc extracts on European seabass growth, gut microbiota, immune status, and resistance to Vibrio harveyi
Aquaculture intensification presents a significant challenge: increased susceptibility of farmed fish to disease. Addressing this sustainably requires innovative solutions beyond traditional antibiotics. This study, stemming from the NeoGiANT project, investigates the potential of white grape marc extracts – a polyphenol-rich by-product of winemaking – to enhance European seabass health. Results indicate that a glycol-based extract (PLN450) improved antioxidant status and modestly bolstered disease resistance, suggesting a viable pathway toward more sustainable aquafeeds.
Solid-state fermented fish silage enhances nutritional performance, immune response, and intestinal histomorphology in juvenile European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) fed plant protein diet
This study rigorously evaluated the impact of solid-state fermented fish silage on juvenile European sea bass (*Dicentrarchus labrax*) fed a plant-protein diet. Utilizing fish byproduct silage fermented with *Lactobacillus plantarum* (T3) demonstrated superior results across multiple parameters. Notably, T3 enhanced growth performance, feed utilization, immunological markers, and intestinal health, exhibiting the highest concentrations of key amino acids and optimal liver function. These findings validate solid-state fermentation as a promising strategy for improving aquaculture nutrition and sustainability.
