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...

It has been variously hypothesized that the insulin resistance induced in rodents by a high-fat diet is due to increased visceral fat accumulation, to an increase in muscle triglyceride (TG) content, or to an effect of diet composition. In this study we used a number of interventions: fish oil, leptin, caloric restriction, and shorter duration of fat feeding, to try to disassociate an increase ...

Randomly selected 320 fingerling of Labeo rohita were collected from Faheem fish farm, Mattital Road, Multan. Groups of 40 fish each were exposed to subleathal concentration of imidacloprid (120 mg L-1) under short (2, 4 and 8 days) and long term (16, 32 and 64 days) conditions to access the effect of this most extensively used pesticide on the body composition parameters of economically most i...

The visceral storage fat and liver of patin catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) are normally discarded, which incurs cost and can cause environmental pollution. However, these may be potential sources to extract fish oil. The proximate and fatty acid compositions of liver and fatty tissue of patin catfish were investigated to evaluate the suitability of these by-products for extracting fish o...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of temperature, feed fat content and dietary oil source on growth and nutrient utilisation of Atlantic salmon parr (f 19 g). The fish were reared in freshwater at 2 or 8 jC for 6 months at light/dark cycles of 12 h:12 h. Each of four feeds was provided to triplicate groups of fish at each temperature. The feeds were formulated with marine f...

Genetic selection is commonly used in farm animals to manage body fat content. In rainbow trout, divergent selection for low or high muscle fat content leads to differences in utilization of dietary energy sources between the fat muscle line (FL) and the lean muscle line (LL). To establish whether genetic selection on muscle fat content affects the hepatic insulin/nutrient signaling pathway, we...

To examine the mechanism by which fish oil protects against fat-induced insulin resistance, we studied the effects of control, fish oil, and safflower oil diets on peroxisomal content, fatty acyl-CoA, diacylglycerol, and ceramide content in rat liver and muscle. We found that, in contrast to control and safflower oil-fed rats, fish oil feeding induced a 150% increase in the abundance of peroxis...

Crude protein, fat, water, ash, dry matter and essential amino and fatty acids were analyzed from freshly collected Chironomus plumosus larvae in order to evaluate their suitability as a component for farmed fish diet. The analyses were performed in intact living organisms and in the dry matter. Essential amino acids were determined by LKB 4101 automatic analyzer, while fatty acids were determi...

this study compared the effects of different levels of dietary fat on growth performance, liver enzymes and blood biochemical of juvenile siberian sturgeon (acipenser bearii) was designed for 12 weeks. for this reason 135 fish (15.6 ± 0.33g; mean ± sd) at nine 500 liter fiberglass tanks, each one containing 15 fish. three experimental diets with the same protein (42 %) and 3 fat levels 10, 15 a...
