Good nutrition in animal production systems is essential to economically produce a healthy, high quality product. In fish farming, nutrition is critical because feed represents 40-50% of the production costs. Fish nutrition has advanced dramatically in recent years with the development of new, balanced commercial diets that promote optimal fish growth and health. The development of new species-...

Introduction Omega-3 fish oils are the most popular health supplements, taken by 15-30% of people at all stages of life, including pregnancy. These oils may improve insulin sensitivity through the recently characterized GPR120 receptor, but are chemically unstable and easily degrade into potentially toxic lipid peroxides. The health effects of oxidised fish oil are mostly unknown. We have shown...

in this study, the effect of different sterilization treatments (115, 120 and 130 ° c, with same sterilization value) was evaluated on the chemical composition and lipid quality of canned silver carp. after sterilization, moisture and fat content were decreased and the amounts of protein and ash were increased, although significant differences due to the different thermal treatments were not ob...

on the basis of the some studies recently published on the concentration of potentially dangerous levels of mercury, a global pollutant and highly toxic element in sea fish and specially tuna fish, this work has been carried out to determine the concentration of mercury in canned tuna fish, that compose a large majority of the fish most people eat. for this reason, 30 cans, produced by differen...

An experiment to determine the chemical composition and protein quality of 13 fish substrates (pollock by-products, n = 5; fish protein hydrolysates, n = 5; and fish meals, n = 3) was conducted. Two of these substrates, salmon protein hydrolysate (SPH) and salmon meal with crushed bones (SMB), were used to determine their palatability as components of dog diets. Pollock by-products differed in ...

Fish and fishery products constitute an important food component for a large section of world population, more so in developing countries, where fish forms a cheap source of protein. In the last two decades there has been an increase in awareness about the nutritional and health benefits of fish consumption. The low fat content of some fish and the presence of poly unsaturated fatty acids in re...

Species belonging to the genus Thunnus are pelagic predator fishes, commonly known as tuna. The species within this genus are of commercial value, and six of them are considered the most valued in world trade (D.M., MIPAAF, 31 Gennaio 2008). Thunnus species originate from a variety of geographic areas, and for this reason the different species can be characterized by the presence of different b...

Antibody production and clinical efficacy (relative percent survival RPS) were measured in 40±5g rainbow trout after immunization with two types of Streptococcus iniae vaccines consisting of formalin killed cells (FKC) and FKC enriched with the bacterial extracellular products (ECP) administered by intraperitoneal (i.p), immersion and oral routes at 16±1°C for 18 weeks. No sig...
