Overview

Marisol Izquierdo is affiliated with the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in Spain. Their research primarily spans the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Environmental Science. They have developed a focused expertise within the subfields of Aquatic Science, Immunology, Physiology, Nutrition and Dietetics, and Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis.

Marisol Izquierdo's work frequently addresses topics related to aquaculture nutrition and growth, aquaculture disease management and microbiota, reproductive biology and impacts on aquatic species, fish biology and ecology studies, mercury impact and mitigation studies, parasite biology and host interactions, and marine bivalve and aquaculture studies.

The scientist has published extensively, with a notable presence in journals such as Aquaculture, Animals, Aquaculture Nutrition, PLoS ONE, and Fish & Shellfish Immunology. Their record includes the following recent papers:

  • Assessment of dietary supplementation with galactomannan oligosaccharides and phytogenics on gut microbiota of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus Labrax) fed low fishmeal and fish oil based diet, 2020, PLoS ONE
  • Prebiotics and phytogenics functional additives in low fish meal and fish oil based diets for European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax): Effects on stress and immune responses, 2020, Fish & Shellfish Immunology
  • Effective complete replacement of fish oil by combining poultry and microalgae oils in practical diets for gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fingerlings, 2020, Aquaculture
  • Oil from transgenic Camelina sativa as a source of EPA and DHA in feed for European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.), 2020, Aquaculture
  • High-level biocidal products effectively eradicate pathogenic γ-proteobacteria biofilms from aquaculture facilities, 2020, Aquaculture

They have collaborated multiple times with frequent co-authors including Daniel Montero, Silvia Torrecillas, David Domínguez, M. J. Zamorano, and F. Acosta.

Their prolific publication history shows a strong emphasis on practical and biological issues in aquaculture, addressing both nutrition and health management of aquatic species. The collection of frequent publication venues highlights a focus on applied aquatic sciences and animal biology.
