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 ...
Bile salt dietary supplementation promotes growth and reduces body adiposity in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata)
(Elsevier, 2022-12-26)
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation using bile salts (BSs) on several key performance indicators like growth and feed performance, fat accumulation and tissue ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effects of alternative and sustainable ingredients, insect meal, microalgae and protein and lipid from tuna cooking water, on meagre (Argyrosomus regius) growth, food conversion and muscle and liver composition
(Elsevier, 2021-10-04)
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of alternative feed ingredients: Insect meal (DI) using non-defatted meal obtained from Acheta domesticus, Microalgae (DM) using a mix of four marine microalgae ...
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 ...
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 ...
Food determines ephemerous and non-stable gut microbiome communities in juvenile wild and farmed Mediterranean fish
(Elsevier, 2023-05-16)
Novel insights were provided by contrasting the composition of wild and farmed fish gut microbiomes because the latter had essentially different environmental conditions from those in the wild. This was ...
