Project description:The catastrophic impact of fishing pressure on species such as cod and herring is well documented. However, the antiquity of their intensive exploitation has not been established. Systematic catch statistics are only available for ca.100 years, but large-scale fishing industries existed in medieval Europe and the expansion of cod fishing from the fourteenth century (first in Iceland, then in Newfoundland) played an important role in the European colonization of the Northwest Atlantic. History has demonstrated the scale of these late medieval and post-medieval fisheries, but only archaeology can illuminate earlier practices. Zooarchaeological evidence shows that the clearest changes in marine fishing in England between AD 600 and 1600 occurred rapidly around AD 1000 and involved large increases in catches of herring and cod. Surprisingly, this revolution predated the documented post-medieval expansion of England's sea fisheries and coincided with the Medieval Warm Period--when natural herring and cod productivity was probably low in the North Sea. This counterintuitive discovery can be explained by the concurrent rise of urbanism and human impacts on freshwater ecosystems. The search for 'pristine' baselines regarding marine ecosystems will thus need to employ medieval palaeoecological proxies in addition to recent fisheries data and early modern historical records.

Project description:The Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) is one of the most important species in the Baltic Sea with high ecological and economical value. To explore the differences in adaptation to salinity between Baltic cod subpopulation: western (Kiel Bight) and eastern (Gdańsk Bay) samples were analyzed through genome-wide oligonucleotide microarray.

Project description:Fish in use in aquaculture display large variation in gamete biology. To reach better understanding around this issue, this study aims at identifying if “egg life history traits” can be hidden in egg transcriptomes. To pursue this, salmon and cod eggs were selected due to their largely differencing phenotypes (size, robustness, fresh/marine). An oligo microarray analysis was performed on ovulated eggs from cod (~23 000 genes, n=8) and salmon (~44 000 genes, n=7). The arrays were normalized to a similar spectrum for both arrays. Both arrays were re-annotated based on official gene symbol to retrieve an orthologous KEGG annotation, in salmon and cod arrays this represented 14009 and 7437 genes respectively. The probe linked to the highest gene expression for that particular KEGG annotation was used to compare expression between species. Differential expression was calculated for genes that had an annotation with score > 300, resulting in a total of 2354 KEGG annotations (genes) being differently expressed between the species. The most differentially expressed genes in salmon and cod (FD≥2), were used to reveal pathways that were overrepresented in the eggs of each species. This analysis revealed that immune, signal transduction, and excretory related pathways were overrepresented in salmon compared to cod. The most overrepresented pathways in cod were related to regulation of genetic information processing and metabolism. To conclude this analysis clearly point at some distinct transcriptome repertoires for cod and salmon and that these differences may explain some of the species-specific biological features for salmon and cod eggs.

Project description:In order to investigate the underlying mechanisms of methylmecury (MeHg)-mediated toxicity to Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), we analyzed the liver proteome of fish exposed in vivo to MeHg (0, 0.5, 2 mg/kg body weight) for 2 weeks. Label-free quantitative mass spectrometry enabled quantification of 1143 proteins, and 125 were differentially regulated between MeHg-treated samples and controls. Six proteins among the top differentially regulated (T23O, GLNA EPS8L2, APOA4, RAP1B, CZTZ) were analyzed using selected reaction monitoring (SRM). Supported by bioinformatics analyses, we conclude that MeHg disrupts mainly redox homeostasis and energy generating metabolic pathways in cod liver, the latter potentially modulated through MeHg-induced oxidative stress.

Project description:This study was performed to validate the newly developed CGP Atlantic cod 20K oligonucleotide microarray. Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) received an intraperitoneal injection of either formalin-killed, atypical Aeromonas salmonicida (Asal) or PBS and transcriptional profiles of spleen tissues from Asal-injected fish were compared to those from pre-injection control fish and PBS-injected control fish. Gene expression profiles resulting from this study were compared to those from suppression subtractive hybridization library studies, that were previously performed on the same samples, and to literature. Gene expression patterns of single genes were confirmed by QPCR analysis. This study has shown that the newly developed CGP Atlantic cod 20K oligo microarray platform is a valuable tool for cod genomic research.

Project description:Lipid metabolism is essential in maintaining energy homeostasis in multicellular organisms. In vertebrates, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs, NR1C) regulate the expression of many genes involved in these processes. Four Ppar subtypes from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) were recently cloned and characterized. However, the downstream regulatory role of Ppars in cod lipid metabolism is presently not well understood or described. Here we study the involvement of Atlantic cod Ppar subtypes in systemic regulation of lipid metabolism using the model agonists WY14,643, GW501516, and tetradecylthioacetic acid, employing a multiple omics approach after an in vivo exposure situation.

Project description:This experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the potential contribution of oil droplets to the toxicity of dispersed oil to fish larvae. Atlantic cod larvae were exposed to five concentrations of either dispersed oil (D1-D5) (containing oil droplets [medium size 10-14 µm based on volume] and water soluble fraction [WSF]) or the filtered dispersion containing only WSF of oil (W1-W5) for four days and harvested for transcriptional analysis at 13 days post hatching. The most significant differently expressed genes were observed in cod larvae exposed to the highest concentration of the dispersed oil (containing 10.41 ± 0.46 µg ∑PAH/L), with CYP1A showing the strongest response. Functional analysis further showed that the top scored network as analyzed with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis was “Drug Metabolism, Endocrine System Development and Function, Lipid Metabolism”. Oil exposure also increased the expression of genes involved in bone resorption and decreased the expression of genes related to bone formation. In conclusion, oil exposure affects drug metabolism, endocrine regulation, cell differentiation and proliferation, apoptosis, fatty acid biosynthesis and tissue development in Atlantic cod larvae. The altered gene transcription was dominated by the WSF and the oil droplet fraction only had a moderate impact on the observed changes.
