Abstract: |
The department of Morphology studies the physique of animals, especially of pets, horses and farm animals kept for food production (including aquaculture) and of marine animals such as marine fish and invertebrates. The department's scientific expertise is made available to the public by organising courses and by the provision of advice services to veterinarians, clinicians and educational and research institutes in Belgium and abroad.
The department is subdivided into three units: 'Anatomy', 'Histology' and 'Embryology'. The research projects of the department of Morphology focus on the following disciplines:
- tonsillar immunomorphology;
- anatomy of the circulatory system;
- mechanisms of angiogenesis during embryonic development;
- aquatic veterinary medicine.
Within the 'aquatic veterinary medicine' branch, the following marine topics are studied:
- gastrointestinal development of fish larvae;
- interactions between microorganisms with probiotic effects/prebiotics on the one hand and the host (larvae of marine fish species (sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)/sole (Solea solea)) and nauplii of the fairy shrimp) on the other hand. The use of pro- and prebiotics still gains popularity in aquaculture practices despite the fact that their activity in larvae is still unknown. Consequently, there is an increasing scientific and practical interest in unraveling the host-microbial interactions in early larval stages.
The department of Morphology collaborates with the Artemia Reference Center (UGent) and the department of Pathology, Bacteriology and Poultry Diseases (UGent). The department of Morphology is also part of the UGent Aquaculture R&D consortium and the Marine@UGent consortium.
The Morphology Museum is also part of this department. The museum manages a didactic and research collection in the comparative morphology of vertebrates. The emphasis lies on the museum objects of classic pets, horses and farm animals. The museum has extensive expertise in conservation techniques of organic specimens and focuses on unambiguous protocols regarding conservations techniques for mammalian skeletons in natural historical collections in close collaboration with the Operantional Directorate Natural Environment (RBINS). The museum is furthermore involved in the recovery and conservation of stranded marine mammals along the Belgian coast. |
