Vibrio harveyi was isolated from internal organs or ulcers of diseased and apparently healthy gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) cultured in several fish farms located on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. The prevalence of the bacterium was significantly higher in European sea bass than in gilthead sea bream, and was closely related to the season in both fish species, occurring almost exclusively on warm months (June to November). After phenotypic characterization, a selection of forty five isolates from gilthead sea bream, sea bass, and several isolates previously obtained from common dentex (Dentex dentex) of the same area, were molecularly typed by automated ribotyping and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. Cluster analysis of data established 8 RAPD types and 13 ribotypes among wild isolates, and the combination of both techniques allowed to define fourteen different groups and a clear discrimination of all outbreaks and samplings. Several strains isolated from diseased gilthead sea bream and sea bass and also from asymptomatic sea bream, were tested for virulence in both fish species by intracoelomic injection. All the isolates (11) were pathogenic for sea bass, with nine out of the eleven LD50 values ranging from 1.5 x 10(5) to 1.6 x 10(6) cfu/fish. Gilthead sea bream was unaffected by the seven tested strains, even by those more virulent for sea bass, and only one strain caused a 10% mortality at 4.2 x 10(7) cfu/fish. This is the first report on virulence of V. harveyi for sea bass. 相似文献

For the first time Ceratothoa parallela (Otto, 1828), a cymothoid isopod, is reported parasitizing cage-cultured gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata, in Greece. The specimens observed are larvae (Pullus secundus). They were found in the branchial and buccal cavity of young gilthead sea bream of 2 g mean body weight, upon introduction in the cages in an intensive cage farm facility. The species was previously known from several species of wild fish, particularly Sparidae (chiefly Boops boops) in the Mediterranean Sea, Adriatic Sea and Atlantic Ocean. However, this is the first documentation of this parasite in cage-cultured gilthead sea bream. Serious lesions were macroscopically visible and typical of a crustacean infection. The cumulative mortality over a 2 mo period was over 50%. The parasitic problem was not successfully dealt with due to high stocking densities and the non removal of the dead fishes, resulting in constant reinfection. 相似文献

Several new fish species are currently being included in breeding programmes. However, as specific molecular markers have not yet been developed, this represents a commercial handicap with respect to traditional aquaculture species such as gilthead sea bream or Atlantic salmon. In the present study, 12 new microsatellite loci were developed for blackspot sea bream (Pagellus bogaraveo) that show high levels of polymorphism, especially useful in parentage assignment and individual identification. In addition, cross‐amplification was obtained for two important species for Spanish aquaculture, gilthead sea bream and sea bass. 相似文献

CD83 expression in sea bream macrophages is a marker for the LPS-induced inflammatory response 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

CD83, a cell surface membrane glycoprotein member of the Ig superfamily which is commonly used as standard surface marker for dendritic cells, was cloned from gilthead sea bream macrophages using degenerate primers against conserved motifs of known CD83 sequences. The obtained cDNA contains an open reading frame of 669 nucleotides that translate into a 222 amino acid putative peptide. The deduced protein sequence shows conservation of features shared by vertebrate CD83 and multiple alignment with fish CD83 sequences reveals high homology. In cultured sea bream macrophages CD83 mRNA expression was significantly enhanced in a dose- and time-dependent fashion after stimulation with Escherichia coli LPS. These results indicate that in fish, macrophages express high levels of CD83 mRNA after LPS exposure and CD83 is therefore a good marker for activated mature myeloid cells in fish. 相似文献

Seasonal changes of zinc, copper, and iron in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fed fortified diets
Emilio Carpeme Rossella Serra Maurizio Manera Gloria Isani 《Biological trace element research》1999,69(2):121-139
Four groups of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) were fed diets with additional metal contents: a basal diet (diet A) contained Zn at 60.9 ± 1.9 mg/kg diet, Cu at 3.9 ±
0.9 mg/kg diet, and Fe at 138.3 ± 6.8 mg/kg diet; the other diets were supplemented with copper (20 mg/kg, diet B), iron (100
mg/kg, diet C), or zinc (300 mg/kg, diet D). Two consecutive year-classes (0+ and 1+ age fish) from the same parent stock were examined. Several fish tissues were analyzed for metal contents in five different
periods of each year in order to determine (1) the sensitivity of certain tissues as indicators of trace element metabolism
and (2) possible seasonal variations. Growth data were similar for gilthead sea bream fed the basal diet and the metal-fortified
diets. Mineral concentrations in tissues were found to be little affected by the dietary supplementation of trace elements,
suggesting an efficient homeostatic control of these three metal concentrations. Tissues involved in metal metabolism (e.g.,
liver, kidney, gills) presented greater variations between minimum and maximum values with respect to other tissues (e.g.,
brain, muscle, eye). Seasonal variations were observed during the 2 yr of this study and were especially evident for zinc
and copper concentrations in the liver. The overall pattern of metal variations showed a decreasing trend during the 2 yr.
Results from this study indicate that (1) trace element concentrations in fish tissues vary with age and life cycle and (2)
trace element requirements may vary in function of age and life cycle. 相似文献

The high affinity copper transporter 1 (Ctr1), metallothionein (MT) and glutathione reductase (GR) are essential for copper uptake, sequestration and defense respectively. Following rearing on a normal commercial diet (12.6+/-0.2 mg kg(-1) Cu), sea bream were fed an experimental control diet lacking mineral mix (7.7+/-0.3 mg kg(-1) Cu), an experimental diet enhanced with Cu (135+/-4 mg kg(-1) Cu) or an experimental diet (7.7+/-0.3 mg kg(-1) Cu) whilst exposed to Cu in water (0.294+/-0.013 mg L(-1)). Fish were sampled at 0, 15 and 30 days after exposures. Fish fed the Cu-enhanced experimental diet showed lower levels of expression of Ctr1 in the intestine and liver compared to fish fed control experimental diets, whilst Ctr1 expression in the gill and kidney was unaffected by excess dietary Cu exposure. Waterborne-Cu exposure increased Ctr1 mRNA levels in the intestine and the kidney compared to experimental controls. Excess dietary Cu exposure had no effect on levels of metallothionein (MT) mRNA, and the only effect of dietary excess Cu on glutathione reductase (GR) mRNA was a decrease in the intestine. Both MT mRNA and GR were increased in the liver and gill after waterborne-Cu exposure, compared to levels in fish fed experimental control low Cu diets. Thus, Ctr1, MT and GR mRNA expression in response to excess Cu is dependent on the route of exposure. Furthermore, the tissue expression profile of sea bream Ctr1 is consistent with the known physiology of copper exposure in fish and indicates a role both in essential copper uptake and in avoidance of excess dietary and waterborne copper influx. 相似文献

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipoprotein metabolism by virtue of its capacity to hydrolyze triglycerides circulating in the form of lipoprotein particles. Here we analyzed the fasting effects of LPL in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and also present the first study in fish of the role of insulin as a potential modulator of both LPL activity and expression. Fasting for 2 weeks provoked a clear decrease in adipose tissue LPL activity, concomitant with lower levels of plasma insulin, while no effects were observed in red muscle. To elucidate the specific role of insulin, increases of plasma insulin were experimentally induced by arginine and insulin injections. However, arginine predominantly stimulated glucagon over insulin secretion in this fish species while LPL activity did not change significantly in adipose tissue. Instead, insulin administration induced an increase in adipose tissue LPL activity 3 h after the injection, whereas LPL activity in red muscle was not affected. Changes in LPL activity were accompanied by an increase in LPL mRNA levels in the adipose tissue of insulin-injected gilthead sea bream, although changes in LPL expression were delayed in time with respect to variations in LPL activity. Finally, LPL mRNA levels in red muscle were similar between control and insulin-injected gilthead sea bream, suggesting that insulin does not play a direct role in the regulation of LPL in this tissue. The current study shows that LPL activity is regulated by nutritional condition and underscores the importance of insulin as a modulator of LPL activity and expression in the adipose tissue of gilthead sea bream. 相似文献

Peptides play important roles in cell regulation and signaling in many tissues. The actions of peptides are regulated by peptidases.
Although the activity of these enzymes has been thoroughly characterized in mammals, little is known about their presence
or function in fish. In the present study, we compared the activity of several peptidases in selected tissues (pituitary gland,
different brain areas, kidney and gills) of the gilthead sea bream and rainbow trout with that found in similar rat tissues
(lungs studied in place of gills). Soluble puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase showed the highest values in the pituitary gland
of the sea bream, whereas the membrane-bound form was found to be more active in the trout kidney. Very high levels of activity
of aminopeptidase N were detected in trout and sea bream plasma. In contrast, the highest levels of activity of aminopeptidase
B were found in rat tissues, with the exception of the gills of the trout. Aminopeptidase N levels tended to be higher in
sea bream tissues with respect to those of trout. In contrast, the level of activity of aminopeptidase B was found to be consistently
much higher in trout tissues than in those of the sea bream. Prolyl endopeptidase activity was principally detected in the
pituitary gland and in the brain areas of teleosts. These differences between species could be related to different mechanisms
of osmoregulation in saltwater- and in freshwater-adapted fish. 相似文献

Ichthyophonus sp. is reported for the first time in Mugil capito (thinlip grey mullet) and Li a saliens (leaping grey mullet). The fungus was also found in L. aurata (golden grey mullet), Dicentrarchus labrax (sea bass), Sparus aurata (gilthead sea bream) and Scophthalmus maximus (turbot), whereas Mugil cephalus (grey mullet) was not parasitized. In fish sampled periodically, the highest prevalences were observed in sea bass and the lowest in turbot. Among the fish sampled occasionally, the fungus was found associated to an epizootic in thinlip grey mullet. Ichthyophonus was never found in fish weighing <0·5 g. An increase in the prevalence of infection with the age of turbot and gilthead sea bream was observed. Gilthead sea bream and sea bass showed higher prevalences in a closed system than in open and semi-intensive systems. Multinucleate spherical spores, hyphae and endospores of Ichthyophonus sp. parasitized different organs of thinlip and leaping grey mullets, though infection intensity was maximal in the spleen. In the remaining fish, the fungus was found mainly in the trunk kidney, where it appeared frequently in a necrotic form. Ichthyophonus sp. can be considered a potential threat for marine fish aquaculture, especially in culture conditions which may favour the introduction and transmission of the fungus. 相似文献

The amount of ultraviolet (UV)-B radiation reaching the sea surface has increased due to ozone depletion. Several laboratory studies have highlighted the negative impacts of UV radiation on fish using hatchery-reared specimens. However, potential differences in UV tolerance between wild and hatchery-reared fish have been given little consideration. Wild and reared juveniles of red sea bream and black sea bream were exposed to one of four different UV-B radiation levels (1.8; 1.1; 0.4; 0?W/m2) for 4?h. Survival rate was measured every 2?h for a period of 24?h (red sea bream) or 48?h (black sea bream) following exposure. Wild and reared juvenile red sea bream were characterized by similar survival rate, with survival declining to almost 0?% 24?h after exposure at the 1.1 and 1.8?W/m2 levels. In black sea bream, wild individuals showed significantly higher survival than reared fish in levels 1.1 and 1.8?W/m2. Melanophore density was also measured since melanin absorbs UV radiation. Wild black sea bream showed higher melanophore density compared to reared individuals, while no such difference was observed in red sea bream. We conclude that wild black sea bream juveniles acquire higher UV tolerance partly by increasing melanophore density through exposure to UV radiation. Our results indicate that the predicted impacts of UV radiation on fish populations solely based on experimentation with hatchery-reared specimens may be overestimated for some species. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to elucidate if the previous results observed in hepatic glucokinase (GK) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) activities in European sea bass and gilthead sea bream are due to temperature per se or to differences in feed intake at different water temperatures. For that purpose triplicate groups of fish (30 g initial body weight) were kept at 18 degrees C or 25 degrees C during two weeks and fed a fixed daily ration of a glucose-free or 20% glucose diet. At the end of the experimental period, plasma glucose levels in both species were not influenced by water temperature but were higher in fish fed the glucose diet. Higher hepatic GK activity was observed in the two fish species fed the glucose diet than the glucose-free diet. In the glucose fed groups, GK activity was higher at 25 degrees C than at 18 degrees C. Glucose-6-phosphatase activities in both species were not influenced by water temperature. In European sea bass and in contrast to gilthead sea bream it was observed an effect of dietary composition on G6Pase activities with surprising higher activities recorded in fish fed the glucose diet than in fish fed the glucose-free diet. Overall, our data strongly suggest that European sea bass and gilthead sea bream are apparently capable to strongly regulate glucose uptake by the liver but not glucose synthesis, which is even enhanced by dietary glucose in European sea bass. Within limits, increasing water temperature enhances liver GK but not G6Pase activities, suggesting that both species are more able to use dietary carbohydrates at higher rearing temperatures. 相似文献

We screened for simple sequence repeats (SSRs) found in ESTs derived from an EST-database development project ('Marine Genomics Europe' Network of Excellence). Different motifs of di-, tri-, tetra-, penta- and hexanucleotide SSRs were evaluated for variation in length and position in the expressed sequences, relative abundance and distribution in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata). We found 899 ESTs that harbor 997 SSRs (4.94%). On average, one SSR was found per 2.95 kb of EST sequence and the dinucleotide SSRs are the most abundant accounting for 47.6% of the total number. EST-SSRs were used as template for primer design. 664 primer pairs could be successfully identified and a subset of 206 pairs of primers was synthesized, PCR-tested and visualized on ethidium bromide stained agarose gels. The main objective was to further assess the potential of EST-SSRs as informative markers and investigate their cross-species amplification in sixteen teleost fish species: seven sparid species and nine other species from different families. Approximately 78% of the primer pairs gave PCR products of expected size in gilthead sea bream, and as expected, the rate of successful amplification of sea bream EST-SSRs was higher in sparids, lower in other perciforms and even lower in species of the Clupeiform and Gadiform orders. We finally determined the polymorphism and the heterozygosity of 63 markers in a wild gilthead sea bream population; fifty-eight loci were found to be polymorphic with the expected heterozygosity and the number of alleles ranging from 0.089 to 0.946 and from 2 to 27, respectively. These tools and markers are expected to enhance the available genetic linkage map in gilthead sea bream, to assist comparative mapping and genome analyses for this species and further with other model fish species and finally to help advance genetic analysis for cultivated and wild populations and accelerate breeding programs. 相似文献

Disturbances of lipid metabolism are a major problem in livestock fish and the present study analysed the different tissue expression patterns and regulations of 40 lipid-relevant genes in gilthead sea bream. Nineteen sequences, including fatty acid elongases (4), phospholipases (7), acylglycerol lipases (8) and lipase-maturating enzymes (1), were new for gilthead sea bream (GenBank, JX975700, JX975701, JX975702, JX975703, JX975704, JX975705, JX975706, JX975707, JX975708, JX975709, JX975710, JX975711, JX975712, JX975713, JX975714, JX975715, JX975716, JX975717 and JX975718). Up to six different lipase-related enzymes were highly expressed in adipose tissue and liver, which also showed a high expression level of Δ6 and Δ9 desaturases. In the brain, the greatest gene expression level was achieved by the very long chain fatty acid elongation 1, along with relatively high levels of Δ9 desaturases and the phospholipase retinoic acid receptor responder. These two enzymes were also expressed at a high level in white skeletal muscle, which also shared a high expression of lipid oxidative enzymes. An overall down-regulation trend was observed in liver and adipose tissue in response to fasting following the depletion of lipid stores. The white skeletal muscle of fasted fish showed a strong down-regulation of Δ9 desaturases in conjunction with a consistent up-regulation of the “lipolytic machinery” including key enzymes of tissue fatty acid uptake and mitochondrial fatty acid transport and oxidation. In contrast, the gene expression profile of the brain remained almost unaltered in fasted fish, which highlights the different tissue plasticity of lipid-related genes. Taken together, these findings provide new fish genomic resources and contribute to define the most informative set of lipid-relevant genes for a given tissue and physiological condition in gilthead sea bream. 相似文献

Molecular mechanisms involved in sperm motility initiation in two sparids (Sparus aurata and Lithognathus mormyrus) have been studied. Our comparative study demonstrates that osmolality is the key signal in sperm motility activation in both species, whereas K(+) and Ca(2+) do not have any role. The straight-line velocity that resulted, however, was significantly different when measured in sperm activated with non-ionic and/or calcium-free solutions with respect to that measured in seawater-activated sperm. In both species, motility initiation depends on cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation. The phosphorylation/dephosphorylation patterns that resulted in gilthead and striped sea bream were quite different. In gilthead sea bream, the phosphorylated proteins have molecular weights of 174, 147, 138, 70, and 9-15 kDa, whereas the dephosphorylated proteins have molecular weights of 76, 57, and 33 kDa. In striped sea bream, phosphorylation after sperm motility activation occurred on proteins of 174, 147, 103, 96, 61, 57, and 28 kDa, whereas only one protein of 70 kDa resulted from dephosphorylation. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight analyses allowed identification of the following proteins: In gilthead sea bream, the 9-15 kDa proteins that were phosphorylated after motility activation include an A-kinase anchor protein (AKAP), an acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase, and a protein phosphatase inhibitor, and in striped sea bream, 103- and 61-kDa proteins that were phosphorylated after motility activation were identified as a phosphatase (myotubularin-related protein 1) and a kinase (DYRK3), respectively. 相似文献

Arginine vasotocin (AVT) and isotocin (IT) levels in plasma and pituitary, and melatonin (MEL) levels in plasma were determined in gilthead sea bream (Sparus auratus) subjected to two different types of stress: i) high density (HD) and ii) food deprivation (NF: non-fed). Fishes were randomly assigned to one of 4 treatments that lasted for 14 days: 1) fed fish under normal low density (ND, 4 kg m(-3)); 2) non-fed (NF) fish under ND; 3) fed fish under high density (HD, 70 kg m(-3)); and 4) non-fed fish under HD. Ten fish from each tank were anaesthetized, weighed and plasma and pituitary samples were taken. Plasma and pituitary AVT and IT content were determined by HPLC, while plasma MEL was assayed by RIA. Plasma AVT and IT values were enhanced in all fish kept at high density. The response of AVT was much stronger than that of IT. The highest pituitary AVT and IT levels were shown in NF fish kept at normal density. The significantly higher plasma MEL levels were measured in fed fish kept at HD. These results suggest a role of AVT, IT and MEL in response of sea bream to a common stress factor, high density. Although food deprivation does not influence AVT and IT plasma levels, it seems to affect hypothalamic synthesis of nonapeptides. Further studies are required to elucidate the complex role of AVT, IT and MEL in the sea bream's response to different stress stimuli. 相似文献
