Carvacrol, Thymol, and Garlic Essential Oil Promote Skin Innate Immunity in Gilthead Seabream (Sparus aurata) Through the Multifactorial Modulation of the Secretory Pathway and Enhancement of Mucus Protective Capacity
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-12)
One of the main targets for the use of phytogenics in aquafeeds is the mucosal tissues as they constitute a physical and biochemical shield against environmental and pathogenic threats, comprising ...
DHA-enrichment of live and compound feeds influences the incidence of cannibalism, digestive function, and growth in the neotropical catfish Pseudoplatystoma punctifer (Castelnau, 1855) during early life stages
(Elsevier, 2022-07-30)
Pseudoplatystoma punctifer is a highly appreciated fish species native to the Amazon basin, whose commercial farming has been hampered by low survival during early life stages due to the high incidence ...
The Digestive Function of Pseudoplatystoma punctifer Early Juveniles Is Differentially Modulated by Dietary Protein, Lipid and Carbohydrate Content and Their Ratios
(MDPI, 2021-02-02)
Pseudoplatystoma punctifer is an Amazonian catfish highly appreciated for its high flesh quality, size, and commercial value. Its aquaculture is pursued to satisfy the demands of an increasing population ...
Evaluating the Functional Properties of Spray-Dried Porcine Plasma in Gilthead Seabream (Sparus aurata) Fed Low Fish Meal Diets
(MDPI, 2022-11-25)
Blood by-products are an untapped source of high-quality ingredients for aquafeeds, containing a broad variety of cytokines, hormones, growth factors, proteins, bioactive peptides, and amino acids. The ...
Development, nutrition, and rearing practices of relevant catfish species (Siluriformes) at early stages
(Wiley, 2021-06-17)
Catfish (Siluriformes) are important species for aquaculture worldwide, with an annual production in 2018 of ca. 6 million t. This review focuses on reassessing larval development, first feeding, and ...
Phytogenic Bioactive Compounds Shape Fish Mucosal Immunity
(Frontiers, 2021-06-18)

(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-12)
In the present study, the modulation of the transcriptional immune response (microarray analysis) in the head kidney (HK) of the anadromous fish Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fed a diet supplemented ...
The importance of pepsin‐like acid protease quantification in aquaculture studies: a revision of available procedures and presentation of a new protocol for its assessment
(Wiley, 2020-02-05)
Assessing the activity of acid pepsin‐like protease is a common procedure in many biological, physiological and nutritional studies in gastric fish species. After reviewing the available literature on ...
Dietary Debaryomyces hansenii promotes skin and skin mucus defensive capacities in a marine fish model
(Frontiers Media, 2023-08-30)
The present study explores the effects of two supplementation levels of Debaryomyces hansenii (1.1% and 2.2%) as a probiotic in a reference low fish meal-based diet on the skin mucosal tissue in Sparus ...
