Marine ecosystems are rich in “omega-3” long-chain (C 20-24) polyunsaturated fatty acids
(LC-PUFA). Their production has been historically accepted to derive mostly from marine …

Abstract Omega-3 (n-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA, C 20-24),
including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20: 5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6n …

The levels and distribution of standing genetic variation in a genome can provide a wealth of
insights about the adaptive potential, demographic history, and genome structure of a …

Elongation of very long-chain fatty acid (Elovl) proteins are key enzymes that catalyze the
rate-limiting step in the fatty acid elongation pathway. The most recently discovered member …

There is a growing interest to understand the capacity of farmed fish species to
biosynthesise the physiologically important long-chain (≥ C 20) n-3 and n-6 …

Ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) are a very diverse group of vertebrates, encompassing
species adapted to live in freshwater and marine environments, from the deep sea to high …

The colonisation of freshwater environments by marine fishes has historically been
considered a result of adaptation to low osmolality. However, most marine fishes cannot …

To achieve sustainable fisheries implies that resources' management is carried out in
accordance with biologically and ecologically relevant processes. In this context, to infer the …

Differences in diet quality and quantity may influence trophodynamic processes in small
pelagic fish. Yet, we currently lack direct and comprehensive information on how large-scale …

Resilience to climate change depends on a species' adaptive potential and phenotypic
plasticity. The latter can enhance survival of individual organisms during short periods of …
