Domestication can be defined as the adaptation of an animal to the human environment and
its constraints. Accumulating evidence strongly indicates that domestication plays essential …

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 …

Simple Summary European sea bass is a species with high economic and societal value in
the Mediterranean due to its intensive use in aquaculture. However, it is a species …

Understanding the stress responses of organisms is of importance in the performance and
welfare of farmed animals, including fish. Especially fish in aquaculture commonly face …

To understand the genetic basis of coping style in European seabass, fish from a full
factorial mating (10 females x 50 males) were reared in common garden and individually …

There is an increasing demand for the breeding programs to focus on resistance against
diseases since the treatments or vaccinations increase production costs and, in some cases …

Sea bass is a major species in Mediterranean aquaculture, and is now being subject to
selective breeding programmes for faster growth. In terrestrial species, it was demonstrated …

The aquaculture industry has increasingly aimed at improving economically important traits
like growth, feed efficiency and resistance to infections. Artificial selection represents an …

Simple Summary In the present study, the genetic architecture of the stress response, body
weight, and disease resistance in European seabass were studied, providing fruitful results …

The domestication process is accompanied by adaptation of the animals to captive
conditions. It induces changes at different levels thereby affecting a variety of biological …
