The PhD student Emilio J. Vélez, from the Group of Regulation and Optimization of Fish Growth for Aquaculture (Dpt. Cell Biology, Physiology and Immunology at University of Barcelona), has concluded a three-weeks stage with the Nutrigenomics and Fish Growth Endocrinology Group, within the framework of the projects MOCD “Modelos para la optimización del crecimiento de la dorada, AGL2012-39768” and Crecedorada “Hacia la mejor relación GH/IGF: los secretagogos, el modelo del ejercicio y su relación con la alimentación en dorada y en lubina, AGL2015-70679-R”. Over this period, he has performed radioimmunoassays for the measurement of plasma levels of GH and IGF-I in gilthead sea bream from different experiments. This is another example of the long and fruitful scientific cooperation between the Institute of Aquaculture Torre de la Sal-CSIC and the Faculty of Biology at University of Barcelona.
