Yolk Absorption Rate and Mouth Development in Larvae of Dormitator latifrons (Perciformes: Eleotridae)
(MDPI, 2022-12-07)
Fish larvae suffer high starvation mortality during the transition from yolk absorption to exogenous feeding, and the size of the developing buccal structures limits the food they can consume. Determining ...
Comparative study of the gut microbial communities collected by scraping and swabbing in a fish model: a comprehensive guide to promote non-lethal procedures for gut microbial studies
(Frontiers, 2024-03-22)
In the present study, we propose the use of swabs in non-lethal sampling procedures to collect the mucosa-adhered gut microbiota from the posterior intestine of fish, and therefore, we compare the ...
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 ...
Modulation of gut microbiota and intestinal immune response in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) by dietary bile salt supplementation
(Frontiers, 2023-04-24)
Given their role in lipid digestion, feed supplementation with bile salts could be an economic and sustainable solution to alterations in adiposity and intestinal inflammation generated by some strategies ...
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 ...
Production of Flathead Grey Mullet (Mugil cephalus) and Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in a Coupled Aquaponic System under Suboptimal Water Temperatures
(MDPI, 2024-05-21)
The combined production of three varieties of lettuce (romaine, iceberg, and red leaf) with flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) was tested in triplicate in three independent coupled aquaponic units ...
The ontogeny of greater amberjack digestive and antioxidant defence systems under different rearing conditions: A histological and enzymatic approach
(Wiley, 2020-09-23)
An overall synchronization of morphological and physiological ontogenetic events of the digestive and antioxidant defence systems occurred in greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) larvae reared under ...
Microbiome study of a coupled aquaponic system: unveiling the independency of bacterial communities and their beneficial influences among different compartments
(Nature Research, 2023-11-11)
To understand the microbiome composition and interplay among bacterial communities in different compartments of a coupled freshwater aquaponics system growing flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) and ...
The onset of piscivory in a freshwater fish species: analysis of behavioural and physiological traits
(Wiley, 2020-03-12)
The onset of piscivory in fish, resulting in a shift from zooplankton or invertebrate to fish prey, was studied on pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) larvae displaying and not displaying piscivorous behaviour ...
Utilization of grape seed oil as a dietary lipid source in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) diets
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-02-05)
A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to determine the effects of different levels of grape seed oil (GO) on growth performance, digestive enzyme activity, fillet proximate and fatty acid composition of ...
