Morphological and ecophysiological adaptations of wild gilthead seabream Sparus aurata associated with tuna farms

Abstract: Morphological and ecophysiological traits of wild, farmed and wild farm-associated gilthead seabream Sparus aurata were used to assess the degree of phenotypic adaptation of the species to their respective environments. Geometric morphometrics revealed clear body shape differentiation amongst the 3 types of populations, whereby sig nificant differences were noted in head profile and the anterior-body region of the fish. Morphological resemblance was recorded among 2 gilthead seabream populations associated wit… Show more

“…Based on the results presented above, multiple lines of inference are reported herein. Clear divergence of farmed fish scale shape from the shapes of wild and wild farm-associated fish was shown, with divergence patterns analogous to those previously documented based on the analyses of genetic and whole-body shape from the same population dataset [6,8]. The typical shape generated by farming condition was characterized with a more elongated lateral axis of the exposed portion of the scale and convexed posterior scale edge, enabling the highest classification origin score (85.2%), with outline analysis displaying a 17.41% more correct classification rate than GM (see Table 2).…”

“…Recent studies have shown that scale shape can be used as a good discriminator between congeneric species [27], sympatric phenotypes [28], populations [29] or geographic variants [30]. Here, we explored morphological and microchemistry patterns of gilthead seabream scales from different population origins, i.e., wild, wild farm-associated and farmed, sampled over a relatively small spatial scale that were previously characterized genetically and morphologically (whole-body shape) [6,8]. Based on the results presented above, multiple lines of inference are reported herein.…”
