Iron (Fe) is an essential trace element for marine fish. However, our knowledge of Fe requirements at different development stages of marine fish is still limited. Here, we reported the efficient Fe absorption strategies adopted by larval fish under different dietary Fe supplementary levels (i.e., 0-640 mg/kg). Biokinetically, the larval fish controlled their dietary Fe assimilation efficiency ...

A thermoplastically extruded snack was produced from different blends of corn grits and silver carp minced meat. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to study the effect of fish meat content and to optimize the feed composition. Fourteen treatments from central composite design considering minced fish content (0-3 kg) and corn (7-10 kg) were used as the independent variables. The expansi...

Commonly used plant ingredients in salmon feed such as soybeans and maize are increasingly grown as genetically modified (GM) varieties. The question arises whether these are equally nutritious and safe for the fish as conventional varieties. The target species of this thesis is Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), while zebrafish (Danio rerio) is used as a potential model. Extensive evaluations of p...

In the People's Republic of China, genetically modified (GM) fish are being developed primarily to produce desirable alterations to growth rates or feed-conversion efficiency. Up to the present, no transgenic fish have been commercially approved for human consumption. This review introduces advances in the People's Republic of China in transgenic fish studies, biosafety studies of fast-growth G...

OBJECTIVES Fish can be exposed under environmental conditions to multiple stressors including natural toxins and environmental or feed contamination at the same time. This study brings new knowledge about the effects of controlled exposure to multiple stressors in fish. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that influence of cyanobacterial biomass and arsenic in feed can combine to e...


 Objective This study aims to determine the effect of using BSF maggot flour as a substitute for fish meal in feed on value consumption, HDP and egg weight layer chickens..
 Materials Methods. The research design used completely randomized with 5 treatments replications. Treatment 1 (P1) this was control treatment factory feed. P2 Fish 20% 80% basal feed; 15% 5% BSFL (Maggot) Basal F...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different feed restriction periods on the growth performance as well as the biochemical and fatty acid compositions of fillet in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Fish with an average initial weight of 64.80±7.41g were used in the study. The trial lasted 60 days and 4 different feeding diets were alternately applied to the fish. The contro...

An experiment was conducted for sixty days to evaluate the effects of Vitamin C of formulated feed on growth performance and body composition of stringing fish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch, 1792). During experimental trial in the laboratory condition, the change in growth and feed utilization by the stringing fish fed on three different Vitamin C level have been assessed by the determination...
