The proximal composition, amino acids and fatty acid profile were determined in whole body of wild captive southern hake (Merluccius australis) order to evaluate the differences nutrients content due nutritional quality feed consumed during broodstock conditioning this species. Body composition did not show significant dry matter, protein or ash between both studied groups. Conversely, lipid wa...

Three diets were formulated and produced with Dried Broiler manure (DBM), Maize Offal (MO), Cassava flour meal (CF), Thrashed tilapia Fish (TTF)b pork-lard (PL). They compared conventional feed ingredients for growth, survival, nutrients utilization cost evaluation indices in 150 days. The biological data obtained from the fish fed at 5% biomass did not revealed any significant differences (P&g...

BACKGROUND Adolescence involves changes in dietary habits that may induce imbalances in the intake of different nutrients. Fish is an important dietary source of omega-3 (n-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs), vitamin D, several minerals and high-quality protein. By using secondary outcomes and exploratory analyses, the aims of this paper were to evaluate if nutritional biomarke...

Aquaculture, the farming of fish and aquatic crops such as kelp and algae, is classically done in natural bodies of water. In land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), however, tanks or raceways contain the farmed species and the water is circulated through a treatment system. Benefits compared to traditional farming in open cages include reduced emissions of nutrients, less risk of i...

Increases in aquaculture production due to higher demand for aquatic foods result an increase the amount of wastewater. This situation highlights need effective treatment wastewater sustainable aquaculture. Today, instead traditional physical and chemical methods originating from aquaculture, ecosystem-sensitive by-product-oriented systems have begun be adopted. The main principle zero-waste ap...

We investigated and compared the impact of organic loads due to the biodeposition of mussel and fish farms on the water column of a coastal area of the Tyrrhenian Sea (Western Mediterranean). Physico-chemical data (including oxygen, nutrients. DOC and particulate organic matter), microbial variables (picoplankton and picophytoplankton density and biomass) and phytoplankton biomass (as chlorophy...

Host resistance to parasites is a rapidly evolving trait that can influence how hosts modify ecosystems. Eco-evolutionary feedbacks may develop if the ecosystem effects of host resistance influence selection on subsequent host generations. In a mesocosm experiment, using a recently diverged (<100 generations) pair of lake and stream three-spined sticklebacks, we tested how experimental exposure...

OBJECTIVES Fish is rich in nutrients that are favorable to bone health, but limited data are available regarding the relationship between fish intake and hip fractures. Our study examined the association between habitual fish intake and risk of hip fractures. METHODS A case-control study was performed between June 2009 and June 2012 in Guangdong Province, China. Five hundred and eighty-one hi...

Aquaculture production has increased considerably nowadays due to intensive culture and deploying biological techniques. Seafood is expected be the future trustworthy food source that going serve poor. Sustainability can achieved by providing nutritious completely balanced feed. many issues like efficiency in feeding, prevention of overfeeding for fish, avoiding wastage food, maintaining good h...
