ABSTRACT The availability of nutrients that a person needs can be met from other than main meals and snacks. One the snacks orsnackswho is becomingtrendiscookies. Cookies generally contain high energy, fat sodium but lack protein iron as well fiber. If cookies are used snack overcome nutritional problems, for example stunting toddlers, besides containing enough energy also has content. Substitu...

This study developed a technique for the preparation of pâté from cachapinta (Pseudoplatystoma sp) waste. For this, frozen minced cachapinta fish was crushed in a mini cutter and homogenized with all other ingredients. The prepared pâté was stored in seamed and thermally treated cans (volume 170 g). Weight proportions of mean moisture, ash, protein, and lipid contents of the minced fish were 75...

A 6-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary retinoids, especially retinoic acid, an anti-adipogenic factor in mammals, on lipid deposition in juvenile red sea bream Ž . Ž initial body weight: 8.5 g . The fish were fed either a commercial diet control: diet 1, crude . Ž . protein 61.7%, crude fat 13.9% , or diets supplemented with 100 mg retinyl acetate diet 2 , 10...

High levels of dietary lipids are incorporated in feeds for most teleost fish to promote growth and reduce nitrogen waste. However, in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) previous studies revealed that increasing the level of dietary lipids above 8% negatively affect growth and nutrient utilization regardless of dietary protein content. It has been shown that glucose regulation and metabolism ...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of diets rich in n-6 and n-3 fatty acids on adipose tissue metabolism. Starting at weaning, male Wistar rats were fed ad libitum, for 8 weeks with one of the following diets: C, rat chow; S, rat chow containing 15 % (w/w) soyabean oil; F, rat chow containing 15 % (w/w) fish oil; SF, rat chow containing 15 % (w/w) soyabean and fish oil (5:1...

range, yellow perch, Perca flavescens, are viewed variously as a sport fish, a valuable food fish, an important forage species, or a nuisance trash fish with little commercial or sport value. Attitudes toward yellow perch vary with its relative availability and with historical regional preferences. In much of the midwestern and central Atlantic areas of the United States and in central Canada, ...

In the future, an increasing number of salmon farms may be located in areas with fast water current velocity due to limited availability of more sheltered locations. However, there is little information as to how fast currents affect fish health and welfare. We used raceways to expose Atlantic salmon post-smolts (98.6 g, 22.3 cm) to homogeneous water velocities corresponding to 0.2, 0.8 and 1.5...
