Challenges and approaches in bridging the biomimicry gap in biohybrid systems of fish and robots
As the field of ethology advances, especially over the past two decades, the role of animal-robot interaction tools has increasingly become essential. This importance arises from the need for controlled, repetitive, repeatable, and long-duration experiment ...
EPFL2023Strategies to modulate zebrafish collective dynamics with a closed-loop biomimetic robotic system
Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet
The objective of this study is to integrate biomimetic robots into small groups of zebrafish and to modulate their collective behaviours. A possible approach is to have the robots behave like sheepdogs. In this case, the robots would behave like a differen ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2020Spread of proliferative kidney disease in fish along stream networks: A spatial metacommunity framework
Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Luca Carraro, Marino Gatto
Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) is a high-mortality pathology that critically affects freshwater salmonid populations. Infection is caused by the endoparasitic myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, which exploits freshwater bryozoans as primary hosts. ...
2018Ecohydrological and Metacommunity Studies of Proliferative Kidney Disease Spread in Freshwater Salmonid Fish
Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) is a high-mortality pathology affecting freshwater salmonid populations in Europe and North America. Its causative agent, the myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, has a complex life-cycle exploiting freshwater bryozoan ...
EPFL2018What is the role of fish intestine as environment-organism barrier? Mechanistic investigations using fish intestinal cells on a chip
The gut of fish belongs to the most essential barriers that mark the border between the organism and its surrounding environment. The pivotal barrier function, allowing to absorb nutrients from the diet while simultaneously protecting the organism from pat ...
EPFL2018Integrated field, laboratory, and theoretical study of PKD spread in a Swiss prealpine river
Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Luca Carraro, Marino Gatto
Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) is a major threat to wild and farmed salmonid populations because of its lethal effect at high water temperatures. Its causative agent, the myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, has a complex lifecycle exploiting freshw ...
National Academy of Sciences2017Sex differentiation in grayling (Salmonidae) goes through an all-male stage and is delayed in genetic males who instead grow faster
Fish populations can be threatened by distorted sex ratios that arise during sex differentiation. Here we describe sex differentiation in a wild grayling (Thymallus thymallus) population that suffers from distorted sex ratios. We verified that sex determin ...
Springer Nature2017Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl compounds in freshwater fish from the Rhone River: Influence of fish size, diet, prey contamination and biotransformation
Pools of aquatic plants and benthic invertebrates were collected along with 47 individuals from three cyprinid fish species (Barbus barbus, Gobio gobio, Rutilus rutilus) at a site in the Rhone River (France). Carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios (delta C-13 ...
Elsevier Science Bv2017An epidemiological model for proliferative kidney disease in salmonid populations
Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Luca Carraro, Marino Gatto
Background: Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) affects salmonid populations in European and North-American rivers. It is caused by the endoparasitic myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, which exploits freshwater bryozoans and salmonids as hosts. Inciden ...
Biomed Central Ltd2016Attractiveness of a lateral shelter in a channel as a refuge for juvenile brown trout during hydropeaking
Anton Schleiss, Jean-Marc Ribi, Armin Julius Peter
Peak power production in hydroelectric storage power plants results in frequent and intense flow variations in the rivers downstream of the plants. Fish populations can be negatively impacted when subjected to these so-called hydropeaking phenomena. In res ...
