• Genetic investigation of swimbladder inflation anomalies in the European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax L. 

      Peruzzi, Stefano; Westgaard, Jon-Ivar; Chatain, B (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007)
      Although the aetiology of swimbladder inflation anomalies in important aquaculture species such as European sea bass D. labrax is not fully determined, culture conditions are commonly suggested as main contributory factors. Little information is available on whether swimbladder inflation has a genetic basis for its expression too. In this work, 24 full-sibling sea bass families from a 4 dams x 6 ...
    • Haematological and physiological characteristics of diploid and triploid sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax L. 

      Peruzzi, Stefano; Varsamos, S; Chatain, B; Fauvel, C; Menu, B; Falguiere, JC; Severe, A; Flik, G (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2005)
      The purpose of this study was to determine whether diploid and triploid sea bass differed in terms of main haematological and physiological characteristics. Diploid and triploid fish were produced by sub-optimal pressure treatments and held in communal environments under standard rearing conditions. Total red blood cell count (RBCC), haemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), mean cell volume ...
    • A shortcut method for sexing juvenile European sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax L. 

      Menu, B; Peruzzi, Stefano; Vergnet, A; Vidal, MO; Chatain, B (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2005)
      The objective of this study was to develop a rapid and effective method of sexing juvenile sea bass with minimum labour and material.To this end, the gonad squash mount technique was applied along with macroscopic techniques for sexing a large number of experimental fish at the age of 215-275 days post fertilization (p.f.). At this age, 90% of the 3894 fish could be unambiguously sexed by ...
