Background Flatfish metamorphosis involves major physiological and morphological
changes. Due to its importance in aquaculture and as a model for developmental studies …

Stocking density and ration size are two major factors influencing aquaculture production. To
evaluate their effects on growth and immune system in Senegalese sole (Solea …

We report that a peripheral Golgi protein with a molecular mass of 210 kD localized at the cis-
Golgi network (Rios, RM, AM Tassin, C. Celati, C. Antony, MC Boissier, JC Homberg, and M …

Lysozymes are key proteins of the innate immune system against bacterial infections. In this
study we report the molecular cloning and characterization of the c-type and g-type …

Abstract Results from Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of solid waste management are, in many
cases, difficult to interpret because there is no entirely satisfying alternative. Therefore, most …

Birds display remarkable diversity in the distribution and morphology of scales and feathers
on their feet, yet the genetic and developmental mechanisms governing this diversity remain …

Abstract Background Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) and common sole (S. solea)
are two economically and evolutionary important flatfish species both in fisheries and …

Thyroid hormones (TH) play a critical role in flatfish metamorphosis. Their levels are
regulated by the pituitary–thyroid axis. The expression profile of thyroid stimulating hormone …

HSP90 proteins are chaperones that play a pivotal role in controlling multiple regulatory
pathways such as stress defense, hormone signalling, cell cycle control, cell proliferation …

Mackerels of the genus Scomber are commercially important species, but their taxonomic
status is still controversial. Although previous phylogenetic data support the recognition of …
