Transcriptome analysis of gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata liver upon exposure to low temperature

ABSTRACT: In Sparus aurata, seasonal temperature variations outside the normal thermal range, may trigger physiological responses leading to pathologies and death. In the present study two groups of wild sea bream were exposed for 21 days to two temperature regimes: 16 ± 0.3 °C (control group) and 6.8 ± 0.3 °C (cold-exposed group). Samples were collected during the acute phase (0, 6 and 24 hours after temperature drop) and upon chronic exposure (21 days). A comparative analysis of gene expression was conducted between S. aurata exposed to 6.8°C. Two groups of wild sea breams (120±16 g body weight; 21±1 cm total length) caught in Valle Bonello were kept in duplicate groups in four 5 m3 circular recycling tanks and acclimated over one month at 16 °C (Di Marco et al. 2010). Fish were then exp
