Excessive use of antibiotics can create resistance in aquatic pathogens and may result in residues that can harm the health of animals and humans. Organic acids provide a more sustainable alternative to routine use of antibiotics. A study by Gunhyun Park, Puky…
In a report from FAO entitled 'Edible insects: Future prospects for food and feed security', the potential is explored of using insects as a source of protein and other nutrients in dies for poultry and farmed fish.
The rapid rise and growth of finfish and crustacean aquaculture has been due, in part, to the availability and on-farm provision of feed inputs within the major producing countries. If the aquaculture sector is to maintain its current average growth rate of 8 …
Commercial diets for channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) are typically composed of protein and energy sources of plant origin supplemented with lysine, vitamins, and minerals. A small amount of animal protein may be included. The predominant protein source i…
There has been increasing interest in growing hybrid catfish (female channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus male blue catfish I. furcatus) in Mississippi and the Southeastern region of the United States. Data presented in this report evaluate dietary protein leve…
Fish and other seafood products are getting more and more attention among consumers due to its health benefits. These benefits are in particular linked to the valuable long chain omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), …
Although antibiotic growth promoters in the diets of fish may promote growth and improve feed conversion and survival rates, public concern over cross-resistance to humans led to a ban on the use of such substances in the EU. Research has thus turned to other …
The current trend towards increasing intensification and diversification of global aquaculture has led to its dramatic growth, thus making aquaculture an important food-producing sector that provides an essential source of aquatic protein for a growing human p…
Due to poor growth, survival and abnormal pigmentation during larval development of halibut, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of photoperiod on growth, survival, food consumption and pigmentation in larvae reared under four light regimes.
Studies conducted with gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) have determined the maximum dietary replacement of fish meal and oil without compromising growth or product quality.
