Assessing the effect of four macroalgae inclusions in diets of Pacific white shrimp
Evaluating macroalgae inclusions in L. vannamei diets show improved growth and intestinal microbiota and prevention of oxidative damage.
Extruded feeds combined with acoustic feeding technology maximizes shrimp farm production
Evaluation of feeds and feeding methods at 639 commercial shrimp ponds in Ecuador showed advantages of extruded feeds and acoustic automated feeders.
Effects of dietary supplementation with the marine microalgae Aurantiochytrium sp. on silver pompano
Effects of dietary supplementation with the marine microalgae Aurantiochytrium sp. on silver pompano
Evaluating Aurantiochytrium sp. diet supplementation on silver pompano shows enhanced fish growth, physiological and biochemical indexes.
Effect of feeding during off-flavor depuration on geosmin excretion by Nile tilapia
Evaluating off-flavor depuration time in Nile tilapia shows it is strongly reduced when farmers adopt a practice of feeding the fish.
Underutilized marine organisms as potential aquaculture feed ingredients
Evaluating potential of underutilized marine organisms as candidates for aquafeed ingredients, emphasizing unfed low-trophic-level species.
Effect of alternate‐day feeding on growth and feed conversion in Atlantic cod
Alternate‐day feeding in Atlantic cod juveniles in Norway resulted in higher weight gain, improved growth and lower feed conversion ratio.
Effect of mannan oligosaccharides on microbiota, productivity of Pacific white shrimp in Ecuador
Evaluating the effect of dietary mannan oligosaccharides shows negligible prevalence of various opportunistic, pathogenic bacteria, including Vibrio.
Effect of exogenous enzymes in plant-based diets on growth of Nile tilapia fingerlings
Exogenous enzymes phytase and a xylanase-β-glucanase mixture can, individually or combined, improve growth performance of juvenile Nile tilapia.
Soy helped build aquaculture into a global force. How far can it take it?
Soy has fueled the growth of aquaculture, but environmental and social concerns for some producing areas are prompting some fish farmers to take stock.
Development, testing of microencapsulated Schizochytrium feeds for bivalve broodstock
Comparing performance of O. edulis broodstock fed microencapsulated Schizochytrium feed and live algae diets shows potential for bivalve hatcheries.
