Assessing the economic impact of key operational factors on grow-out farms producing European sea bass under different scenarios of production
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-11-05)
The aim of this work is to evaluate how changes in a set of different key operational factors (e.g., the unit sales price, the fingerling unit cost, the feed unit cost, and so on) would impact on the ...
Physiological Benefits of Dietary Lysophospholipid Supplementation in a Marine Fish Model: Deep Analyses of Modes of Action
(MDPI, 2023-04-18)
Given the hydrophilic structure of lysophospholipids (LPLs), their dietary inclusion translates into a better emulsifying capacity of the dietary components. The present study aimed to understand the ...
Evaluating the repetitive mucus extraction effects on mucus biomarkers, mucous cells, and the skin-barrier status in a marine fish model
(Frontiers, 2023-01-18)
Among all the mucosal barriers, the skin and its surrounding mucus are possibly the main defensive tool against changes in the environment that can be harmful for fish. Due to the extraction of this ...
Genetic selection for high growth improves the efficiency of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) in using novel diets with insect meal, single-cell protein and a DHA rich-microalgal oil
(Elsevier, 2023-08-29)
Genetic selection and novel raw materials for aquafeeds are current key tools in the ongoing effort to increase the
productivity, efficiency, and sustainability of the aquaculture sector. Selective ...
Metapopulation Structure of Two Species of Pikeworm (Triaenophorus, Cestoda) Parasitizing the Postglacial Fish Community in an Oligotrophic Lake
(MDPI, 2023-10-06)
In the present study, we estimated the levels of infestation of the main fish species that are hosts for two Triaenophorus species: T. crassus and T. nodulosus. The prevalence of T. crassus and T. ...
Editorial: Physiological Impacts of Global Warming in Aquatic Organisms
(Frontiers Media, 2022-05-09)
Climate change is reshaping our planet. Warming surface waters, acidification, and deoxygenation are the most critical effects of climate change in aquatic environments. Increasing mean water temperatures ...
Fermentation of Plant-Based Feeds with Lactobacillus acidophilus Improves the Survival and Intestinal Health of Juvenile Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Reared in a Biofloc System
(MDPI, 2024-01-21)
This study evaluated the effect of fermentation with Lactobacillus acidophilus on the biochemical and nutritional compositions of a plant-based diet and its effects on the productive performance and ...
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 ...
Stoichiometry of growth under variable scenarios of nutrient limitation: Differential homeostasis of body composition among growth phenotypes of the Manila clam
(Elsevier, 2024-02-07)
Fast- and slow-growing phenotypes from two separate breeding families of the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) were alternatively fed two monoalgal diets with high and low N content (C:N ratios of ...
