Journal ArticleDOI
The current status and future focus of probiotic and prebiotic applications for salmonids
Daniel L. Merrifield,Arkadios Dimitroglou,Andrew D. Foey,Simon J. Davies,R.T.M. Baker,Jarl Bøgwald,Mathieu Castex,Einar Ringø +7 more
TL;DR: The application of probiotics and prebiotics may result in elevated health status, improved disease resistance, growth performance, body composition, reduced malformations and improved gut morphology and microbial balance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroxyl radicals (*OH) are associated with titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) nanoparticle-induced cytotoxicity and oxidative DNA damage in fish cells.
TL;DR: Investigations aimed to evaluate the potential cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of TiO(2) nanoparticles on goldfish skin cells (GFSk-S1), either alone or in combination with UVA revealed that the observed toxic effects of nanoparticulate TiO (2) were most likely due to hydroxyl radical (OH) formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of dietary components on the gut microbiota of aquatic animals. A never‐ending story?
Einar Ringø,Zhigang Zhou,Jose L. González Vecino,Simon Wadsworth,Jaime Romero,Åshild Krogdahl,Rolf Erik Olsen,Arkadios Dimitroglou,Andrew D. Foey,Simon J. Davies,Matthew A.G. Owen,Hélène L. Lauzon,L.L. Martinsen,P. De Schryver,Peter Bossier,Sigmund Sperstad,Daniel L. Merrifield +16 more
TL;DR: The effect of dietary components on the gut microbiota is important to investigate, as the gastrointestinal tract has been suggested as one of the major routes of infection in fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial manipulations to improve fish health and production – A Mediterranean perspective
Arkadios Dimitroglou,Daniel L. Merrifield,Oliana Carnevali,Simona Picchietti,Matteo Alessandro Avella,Carly L. Daniels,Derya Güroy,Simon J. Davies +7 more
TL;DR: The interactions between the endogenous gut microbiota and the fish host are integral in mediating the development, maintenance and effective functionality of the intestinal mucosa and gut associated lymphoid tissues (GALTs) and their subsequent host interactions which mediate and drive both localised and systemic host immunological responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary mannan oligosaccharide supplementation modulates intestinal microbial ecology and improves gut morphology of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum).
Arkadios Dimitroglou,Daniel L. Merrifield,Roy Moate,Simon J. Davies,Peter Spring,John Sweetman,Graham Bradley +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that MOS modulates intestinal microbial communities, which subsequently improve gut morphology and epithelial brush border and reduces species richness and increased similarity of bacterial populations found within the subadult and juvenile groups.
