Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in common octopus aquaculture, prompted by several factors such as the increase in market demand, the decline in overall fisheries and the search for more sustainable food resources. Nevertheless, this interest has raised concerns about the potential impact of large-scale production and intensified farming practices in the future. This study aims to establish a baseline u...

Overexpression of asip1 in transgenic zebrafish disrupts dorsoventral pigment pattern in addition to increasing food intake levels and linear growth. A higher feed intake is unnecessary in transgenic fish to enable larger and heavier growth. A plausible explanation may rely on the enhanced feeding efficiency mediated by improved nutrient absorption in transgenic animals. To test this hypothesis, wide scope transcriptomic techn...

Monitoring marine mammal populations is essential to permit assessment of population status as required by both national and international legislation. Traditional monitoring methods often rely on visual and/or acoustic detections from vessels and aircraft, but limitations including cost, errors in the detection of some species and dependence on taxonomic expertise, as well as good weather and visibility conditions often limit...
