TL;DR: It is proposed that trout cathelicidins are expressed by intestinal epithelial cells and exert immunomodulatory effects to improve the local intestinal immune response triggered by immunostimulants.

TL;DR: Candida utilis yeast is a promising alternative protein source with functional properties in diets for smolting Atlantic salmon before and after SWT, indicating reduced inflammatory processes in yeast fed fish.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the reduction of TRPV4 expression during behavioural fever may contribute to the onset of behavioural fever influencing movement toward higher water temperatures, and highlight for first time in mobile ectotherms the key role of pro-inflammatory cytokines and TRPVs in behavioural fever that likely involves a complex integration of prostaglandin induction, cytokine recognition and temperature sensing.

TL;DR: It is suggested that IPNv infection increase oxidative stress on headkidney as a consequence of iron overload induced by a massive upregulation of genes involved in iron metabolism.

TL;DR: Results showed that both delivery methods of laminarin produce an increase in the phagocytic activity in head kidney macrophages and a significant decrease in the production of TNFα and IL-8 in gill tissue at day 21, which highlights the importance of developing new protocols to quantitate immune parameters, in order to evaluate immunostimulants in fish farming.
