RESUMEN
Macroalgae represent valuable sources of functional ingredients for fish diets, and the influence of supplemented aquafeeds on growth performance has been studied for some fish and seaweed species. In the present work, the potential immunomodulation exerted by U. ohnoi (5%) as dietary ingredient was investigated in Senegalese sole. After feeding with the experimental diets for 90 d, fish immune response before and after challenge with Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida (Phdp) was assessed. In absence of infection, systemic immune response was not modified by 5% U. ohnoi dietary inclusion for 90 d. Thus, no differences in liver and head kidney immune gene transcription or serum lysozyme, peroxidase, antiprotease and complement activities were observed based on the diet received by Senegalese sole specimens. Regarding mucosal immune parameters, no changes in gene transcription were detected in the skin and gills, whilst only tnf, cd4 and cd8 were significantly up-regulated in the intestine of fish fed with U. ohnoi, compared to the values obtained with control diet. On the contrary, when S. senegalensis specimens were challenged with Phdp, modulation of the immune response consisting in increased transcription of genes encoding complement (c1q4, c3, c9), lysozyme g (lysg), tumor necrosis factor alpha (tnfα) as well as those involved in the antioxidant response (gpx, sodmn) and iron metabolism (ferrm, hamp-1) was observed in the liver of fish fed with U. ohnoi. In parallel, decreased inflammatory cytokine and complement encoding gene transcription was displayed by the spleen of fish receiving the algal diet. Though mortality rates due to Phdp challenge were not affected by the diet received, lower pathogen loads were detected in the liver of soles receiving U. ohnoi diet. Further research to investigate the effects of higher inclusion levels of this seaweed in fish diets, feeding during short periods as wells as to assess the response against other pathogens needs to be carried out.

Gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota has a relevant role in animal nutrition, modulation of the immune system and protection against pathogen invasion. Interest in algae as source of nutrients and functional ingredients for aquafeeds is increasing in order to substitute conventional feedstuffs by more sustainable resources. The diet is an important factor in the modulation of the microbiota composition, and functional ingredients have been proposed to shape the microbiota and contribute benefits to the host. However, fish microbiome research is still limited compared to other hosts. Solea senegalensis is a flat fish with high potential for aquaculture in South Europe. In this study, a characterization of the microbiome of S. senegalensis (GI) tract and the effects of feeding Ulva ohnoi supplemented diet has been carried out. Differences in the composition of the microbiota of anterior and posterior sections of S. senegalensis GI tract have been observed, Pseudomonas being more abundant in the anterior sections and Mycoplasmataceae the dominant taxa in the posterior GI tract sections. In addition, modulation of the GI microbiota of juvenile Senegalese sole fed for 45 days a diet containing low percentage of U. ohnoi has been observed in the present study. Microbiota of the anterior regions of the intestinal tract was mainly modulated, with higher abundance of Vibrio spp. in the GI tract of fish fed dietary U. ohnoi.
RESUMEN
Senegalese sole is one of the most promising fish species cultivated in the Southern European countries. This study was aimed at assessing the effects of microalgae biomass added to diets for Senegalese sole juveniles on fish growing and condition status. Three isoproteic (52%) and isolipidic (10%) were formulated containing 15% Tisochrysis lutea (TISO), Nannochloropsis gaditana (NAN), or Scenedesmus almeriensis (SCE) biomass, respectively. An experimental microalgae-free diet (CT) and a commercial diet (COM) were used as controls. Fish were fed at 3% of their body weight for 85 days. Final body weight of fish fed microalgae-supplemented diets did not differ from group fed CT diet. Fish-fed CT, TISO, NAN, and SCE showed higher growth performance and nutrient utilization figures than specimen-fed COM diet. The highest carcass lipid content was found in COM group (141 g kg-1), and no differences were observed in body protein content. Ash was significantly higher in TISO, NAN, and SCE groups compared to fish-fed CT. Muscle EPA and DHA contents were not modified owing to the different dietary treatments. The n3/n6 and EPA/DHA ratios in muscle were similar in all the experimental groups. The quantification of digestive proteolytic activities did not differ among experimental groups, although differences in the protease pattern in digestive extracts by zymography were revealed in those fish fed on COM diet. Both α-amylase activity in the intestinal lumen and leucine aminopeptidase in the intestinal tissue were significantly lower in COM fish. Specimens fed on SCE diet showed a higher leucine aminopeptidase activity associated to the intestinal tissue compared to NAN-fed fish (0.40 and 0.25 U g tissue-1, respectively). The ultrastructural study revealed that the dietary inclusion of algal biomass, especially T. lutea and N. gaditana, had a positive impact on the absorptive capacity of the intestinal mucosa. The highest values for the parameters microvilli length and microvilli absorption surface were observed in fish fed on NAN diet (1.99 µm and 45.93 µm2, respectively). Even though further studies aimed at optimizing commercial formulas for Senegalese sole are required prior to any large-scale practical utilization, the results obtained clearly suggest the potential of microalgae as dietary ingredients for this fish species.

I have tried to show the two man highlights of the evolution of the psychoanalytic theory: the model of the neurosis and of the interpretation of dreams, as well as the introduction of narcissism and the structural theory of Freud. Psychoanalysis was born as a psychotherapy for hysteria and by extension, for the treatment of the other neurosis, phobia and obsessive neurosis. In this ground the formula
