Trace minerals in fish nutrition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The role of trace elements in biological systems has been described in several animals. However, the knowledge in fish is mainly limited to iron, copper, manganese, zinc and selenium as components of body fluids, cofactors in enzymatic reactions, structural units of non-enzymatic macromolecules, etc. Investigations in fish are comparatively complicated as both dietary intake and waterborne mineral uptake have to be considered in determining the mineral budgets. The importance of trace minerals as essential ingredients in diets, although in small quantities, is also evident in fish.

متن کاملAdvancements in Ruminant Trace Mineral Nutrition
Major advances in the field of trace mineral nutrition occurred in the twenty century. All of the trace minerals recognized as being important in ruminant nutrition were first shown to be essential in the 1900's with the exception of iron. Between 1920 and 1960 naturally occurring deficiencies of iodine, copper, cobalt, manganese, selenium, and zinc were first reported in cattle. Today it is co...
