Nutrigroup at Aquaculture Europe 22 Congress at Rimini: Student Spotlight Award2022-10-10
The Nutrigroup PhD student Fernando Naya-Català was one of the three nominees to the Student Spotlight Award granted by the EAS at the Aquaculture Europe 22 Congress, among more than 120 presented works.
In his presentation at the plenary session, Fernando explained how diet, host genetics and gut microbiota interact during the production cycle of gilthead sea bream. The trial, framed under the AquaIMPACT H2020 EU project, disclosed the temporal succession of sea bream microbiota, as well as the higher resilience and functional plasticity of the microbial community when genetically selected fish for fast growth were challenged wtih changes in diet composition. The study also disclosed several strong associations of microbiota with changing host transcriptome enriched processes.
