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 ...
Weaning strategies affect larval performance in yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus)
(Elsevier, 2021-03-24)
A 30-day study was carried out to determine the influence of different weaning strategies (WS) on growth and survival rates, stress resistance, digestive enzyme activities and whole body fatty acid ...
Debaryomyces hansenii CBS 8339 promotes larval development in Seriola rivoliana
(Elsevier, 2022-07-06)
The present study aimed to know the effect of the administration of Debaryomyces hansenii yeast on growth, development and skeletal deformities, through the quantification of molecular and morphophysiological ...
Soybean protein concentrate as a protein source for totoaba (Totoaba macdonaldi) juveniles: Effect on intermediary metabolism and liver histological organization
(Elsevier, 2021-08-31)
This study aimed to investigate the effects of replacing fish meal (FM) with soybean protein concentrates (SPC) on the intermediary metabolism and health of Totoaba macdonaldi juveniles. Fish (initial ...
Isolation, identification, and gene expression analysis of the main digestive enzymes during ontogeny of the Neotropical catfish Pseudoplatystoma punctifer (Castelnau, 1855)
(Elsevier, 2021-06-09)
The ontogeny of the digestive capacities in fish is species-specific and its knowledge is essential for understanding the nutritional requirements of fish larvae. While the Amazon basin contains the ...
Digestive enzyme activities during pejerrey (Odontesthes bonariensis) ontogeny
(Elsevier, 2020-02-22)
The first step for assessing and refining the nutritional requirements during the larval and early juvenile stages of a fish is the study of the ontogeny of digestive system functionality. The combination ...
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 ...
From zero to ossified: Larval skeletal ontogeny of the Neotropical Cichlid fish Cichlasoma dimerus
(Wiley, 2023-09-06)
The identification of skeletal elements, the analysis of their developmental sequence, and the time of their appearance during larval development are essential to broaden the knowledge of each fish ...
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 ...
