Fish account for 20% of the global population’s animal protein intake [...]

Effects of artificial diets on growth, spawning performance, egg and larval biochemical compositions and quality of Acanthopagrus latus in the Persian Gulf were studied. Nine diets representing a combination of three protein levels (40, 50 and 60%) and three energy levels (22.5, 23.5 and 24.5 MJ GE/Kg) were tested in triplicates. Each tank was stocked with 10 fish with a sex ratio of 1:1 and wi...

background: fish have been at high risk of atrazine toxicity. comparative atrazine toxicity on the tissues of clarias gariepinus is scanty. therefore, acute and chronic effects of atrazine on some biochemical parameters in clarias gariepinus were investigated in this study. methods: atrazine toxicity was determined by assessing the responses of glucose, protein, alanine aminotransferase (alt), ...

—Taurine has been demonstrated to be conditionally indispensable for several carnivorous fish species. Current trends in trout production include decreasing levels of fish-meal content in feeds, along with faster growing strains of fish. Taurine may be a limiting nutrient in support of elevated planes of growth for rainbow trout. A 9-wk feeding trial was conducted using a factorial treatment de...

Since the calcium intake has not reached target amount of 600 ~ 800 mg per day in Japanese diet, is recommended daily diet. And recent years, Japan been promoting protein for elderly to prevent sarcopenia and frailty. also take EPA DHA maintain smooth blood vessels memory maintenance. Therefore, as a first step understanding actual situation, this study conducted questionnaire survey on informa...

in this study, fish meal (fm) was replaced by the black soldier fly maggot meal (bsfm) with replacement levels at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. the feeding trial was conducted for 56 days and the effect of each replacement level on the growth performance, feed utilization, body composition and survival of the experimental fish was assessed. all the experimental diets were well accepted by the fis...

this study describes the effects of different stocking densities on texture/colour characteristics, protein content /amino acid and lipid content/fatty acid composition of rainbow trout fillet.stocking density was selected 5 (group a), 15 (group b), 25 (group c) kg fish m−3.tukey’s multiple comparison test showed insignificant differences between measured size/weight measurement and condition fac...

the present experiment was undertaken to study the effect of different dosages of β-glucan on the growth, survival and physiological responses in juvenile striped catfish ( pangasianodon hypophthalmus ). over nine weeks of feeding fish with a diet containing 0, 0.5, 1 and 2% β-glucan (as control, g1, g2 and g3 group, respectively), some blood parameters such as serum lysozyme activity, total pr...

probiotics have shown beneficial effects on growth parameters of various food animals. in this research, the growth promoting effects of a multi-strain probiotic was investigated on common carp (cyprinus carpio). accordingly, 200 fish (6-7g) were randomly allocated to 4 experimental groups. the first group received placebo and was served as the negative control. the second group received the pr...
