Interactions between bacteria and their host represent a full continuum from pathogenicity to
mutualism. From an evolutionary perspective, host-bacteria relationships are no longer …

Intensification of aquaculture practices has increased the stress level in fish. Transportation,
handling, sorting by size, weighing, increased farming density, confinement level, and …

There is increasing evidence that intense fishing pressure is not only depleting fish stocks
but also causing evolutionary changes to fish populations. In particular, body size and …

Hypoxia is one of the major threats to the aquaculture sector resulting in substantial
economic losses to the fish farmers. Thus, tolerance to hypoxia is of high economic interest …

Epigenetic inheritance can result in plastic responses to changing environments being
faithfully transmitted to offspring. However, it remains unclear how epigenetic mechanisms …

Brook charr is a cold-water species which is highly sensitive to increased water
temperatures, such as those associated with climate change. Environmental variation can …

Next-generation sequencing is revealing the complex interactive networks of host–bacteria
interactions, as it is now possible to screen in detail the microbiota harbored by a host. This …

Among salmonids, brook charr, Salvelinus fontinalis has been gaining popularity in
aquaculture. However, major limitations associated with opportunistic diseases that result …

Fluctuations in environmental temperature affect energy metabolism and stimulate the
expression of reversible phenotypic plasticity in vertebrate behavioural and physiological …

Whole-genome duplication (WGD) can have large impacts on genome evolution, and much
remains unknown about these impacts. This includes the mechanisms of co** with a …
