Vitamin D is an essential fat soluble micronutrient that helps in growth, bone development, calcium homeostasis and other metabolic process. The study on effect of vitamin D3 marine fish larvae were very scarce irrespective species. present determines the impacts dietary growth performance, absorption, mineralization, skeletal anomalies during development gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) was a...

The age and growth of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata Linnaeus, 1758) were studied in the present study. A total 126 specimens collected from commercial fishmongers during period between January 2015 December northern Aegean coasts Turkey. Fork length weight aged ranged 29.5 to 48.0 cm 425.00 2100.00 g, with a mean 38.5 101.23 respectively. length-weight relationship was estimated as W = 0.00...

The effects on liver and intestinal histomorphology microbiota in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) fed diets that contained poultry by-product meal (PBM) hydrolyzed feather (HFM) as fishmeal replacements were studied. Fish a series of isonitrogenous isoenergetic diets, where protein the control diet (FM diet) was replaced by either PBM or HFM at 25%, 50% 100% without amino acid supplementation...

Farmed gilthead seabream is sometimes affected by a metabolic syndrome, known as the "winter disease", which has a significant economic impact in the Mediterranean region. It is caused, among other factors, by the thermal variations that occur during colder months and there are signs that an improved nutritional status can mitigate the effects of this thermal stress. For this reason, a trial wa...

DNA transfer techniques allow genetic manipulation of commercial fish. However, marine species have received little attention because of their difficult zootechnical requirements. The seabream (Sparus aurata) has become one of the most important species in the aquaculture of Mediterranean countries, and the development of suitable DNA transfer procedures represents a main step in its genetic im...

This work aimed to evaluate the digestibility of defatted Hermetia illucens larvae meal (HM), and its effects as fishmeal (FM) replacement on growth performance, feed nutrient utilisation, whole-body composition gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) juveniles. To assess apparent coefficients (ADC) HM, a reference-diet (43% crude protein (CP); 17% lipid (CL)) test-diet, in which 30% reference diet w...
