The inclusion of the microalga Scenedesmus sp. in diets for rainbow trout, Onchorhynchus mykiss, juveniles
(MDPI, 2020-09-15)
A nutritional study was conducted to evaluate the inclusion of the green microalga Scenedesmus sp. at 5% (SCE-5) as an alternative fishmeal ingredient. This microalga was tested with four replicates ...
Dietary supplementation of a combination of formic acid and sodium formate in practical diets promotes gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) gut morphology and disease resistance
(Elsevier, 2024-01-29)
Optimizing growth and feed conversion ratios by improving gut function and health is critial to ensuring costeffective production in aquaculture, especially in the current context of low fishmeal and ...

(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2021-04-27)
European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) are prevailing species in
Mediterranean marine finfish aquaculture, and despite an increasing demand of the global markets ...
Genetically superior European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and nutritional innovations: Effects of functional feeds on fish immune response, disease resistance, and gut microbiota
(Elsevier, 2023-09-21)
The objective of this study was to determine if selected fish genotypes could benefit from the use of functional
additives in novel aqua feed formulations to improve growth performance, gut microbiota, ...
A Single-Tube HNB-Based Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification for the Robust Detection of the Ostreid herpesvirus 1
(MDPI, 2020-09-09)
The Ostreid herpesvirus 1 species affects shellfish, contributing significantly to high economic losses during production. To counteract the threat related to mortality, there is a need for the development ...
