Fillet yield (FY, %) is an economically-important trait in rainbow trout aquaculture that affects production efficiency. Despite that, FY has received little attention in breeding programs because it is difficult to measure on a large number of fish and cannot be directly measured on breeding candidates. The recent development of a high-density SNP array for rainbow trout has provided the neede...

The nutritional quality of tilapia fillet is characterized by low omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs). objective the present study was to evaluate effect different dietary concentrations chia (Salvia hispanica) and flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) meal on acid content (Oreochromis niloticus) fillet. Six experimental diets incorporating 5, 10, 15% or meals, respectively, were given fis...

Defatted microalgal biomass derived from biorefinery can be potential feed ingredients for carnivorous fish. The present study investigated the growth, feed intake:gain and health parameters in Atlantic salmon fed for 84 days with defatted Nannochloropsis oceania as a fishmeal replacer. Fish fed feeds containing the algal biomass (at 10 and 20% inclusion, alga groups) were compared with groups ...

Monitoring mercury levels in fish can be costly because variation by space, time, and fish type/size needs to be captured. Here, we explored if compositing fish samples to decrease analytical costs would reduce the effectiveness of the monitoring objectives. Six compositing methods were evaluated by applying them to an existing extensive dataset, and examining their performance in reproducing t...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this article is to describe the indications, operative technique, outcomes, and systematic review of the literature on the reconstruction of patients with end-stage pressure ulcers using a fillet flap technique. In this technique, the femur, tibia, and fibula are removed from the thigh and leg, and the soft tissue is used as a pedicled, or free, myocutaneous flap for r...

Process optimization is essential for the large-scale viability of food industry. Central composite rotational design (CCRD) followed by response surface analysis was used to optimize production fish protein hydrolysate (FHP). FHP obtained from tilapia filet trimmings hydrolyzed subjected using Alcalase 2.4L™, Neutrase™, and Novo-Pro™ D enzymes under temperature, enzyme concentration, pH-contro...

—Feeds rich in saturated (SFAs) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) appear to maximize the retention of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) in the fillets of sunshine bass (female white bass Morone chrysops 3 male striped bass M. saxatilis). To determine whether different sources of SFA and MUFA have equivalent effects on tissue fatty acid (FA) profile change, coconut (CO) and p...

Endwall fillet and bulb structures are proposed in this research to improve the temperature uniformity of pin-fined microchannels. The periodical laminar flow and heat transfer performances are investigated under different Reynolds numbers and radius of fillet and bulb. The results show that at a low Reynolds number, both the fillet and the bulb structures strengthen the span-wise and the norma...

Comparison of various indices of deterioration of refrigerated fish fillets showed that the direct bacterial count can be used to predict the storage life of the foodstuff. For direct counts, a thin film made from fillet surface material was spread on a microscope slide, stained, and read. Initial counts were found to correlate well with keeping quality; a period of freshness of 24 or 48 hr at ...
