The research team “Immunobiology for Aquaculture” (I4A) at the University of Murcia has a great experience in the study of the immune system of teleosts of commercial interest in the Mediterranean area (mainly gilthead seabream -Sparus aurata- and European sea bass -Dicentrarchus labrax-). The team has developed a great number of techniques to determine the fish immune status, and has extensive experience in cellular and molecular biology, histology and fish pathology. The team was pioneer in the use of dietary supplements as immunostimulants in fish. Among them, vitamins, microalgae, probiotics (bacteria and yeast cells) and medicinal plants with the aim of knowing their effects on the systemic and local (skin and gut) fish immune system. Concomitantly, the team works on some fish pathologies caused by stressors (such as heavy metals and pollutants) or aetiological agents (such as bacteria, mainly vibriosis or virus, mainly nodavirus).

The FB2 research group, located in the Faculty of Biology, was founded in 1998 by professors José Luis Soengas and Jesús M. Míguez. The group has been recognized as a reference group (group with growth potential) by the Xunta de Galicia and belongs to the Marine Research Center of the University of Vigo. The basic objective of the group's research is the study of physiological mechanisms in fish related to metabolism, neuroendocrinology, rhythms, the response to stress and the mechanisms of adaptation to the environment. For this we use model fish species (rainbow trout, sole, zebrafish ...) in order to extrapolate the results obtained to the development of applied research in the field of Aquaculture. At present, the main field of work of the group is focused on the study of the metabolic, neuroendocrine and environmental mechanisms involved in the control of feeding in fish and its interaction with stress. Specifically, the research lines in which the group works are:

• Control of feed intake in fish by metabolic, neuroendocrine and environmental factors
• Nutrient sensing mechanisms and energy metabolism in fish
• Interaction between the control mechanisms of fish intake and the response to stress
• Physiology of the pineal organ and melatonin
• Daily and seasonal rhythmicity in fish. Molecular mechanisms of the circadian clock
• The hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal axis and the stress response in fish
