Organic production of gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) using organic certified green pea protein and seaweed. Effects on growth, feed conversion and final product quality
(Elsevier, 2023-03-21)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of novel ingredients such as green pea protein and Ascophyllum nodosum, a brown seaweed for the replacement of fish meal in feeds suitable for organic ...
Supplementation of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) diets with spices as a functional strategy to control excess adiposity through lipid, cholesterol and bile acid metabolism, and to induce an immunomodulatory intestinal regulation
(Elsevier, 2023-11-17)
Reductions in fish oil content in aquafeeds can generate physiological and immunological disorders in farmed fish, associated to low dietary levels of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 ...
