Disentangling the role of factors responsible for juvenile fish dispersal is essential to understand ecology individual species, setting corresponding conservation status and evaluating potential risk in case invasion. Because their small body size high sensitivity environmental conditions, movements have largely been explained by external such as wind-induced water currents. In this study, ear...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of dietary phospholipid on the development and rearing performance of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) larvae. From day 10 post-hatching, fish larvae were weaned onto three isoproteic and isolipidic formulated diets with different phospholipid (PL) levels: 1.4 (PL1), 4.7 (PL5) and 9.5% (PL9) of dry matter, as soybean lecithin. Neutral lipid (NL) w...

Lactobacillus brevis was isolated from the intestinal tract of Sander lucioperca and its immunological parameters as well as intestinal morphology were studied. Thereafter, the fish were challenged with 4.5×108 CFU/g Aeromonas hydrophila. The fish were monitored daily and the rate of survival was recorded over a period of 7 days post-challenge. The results showed that feeding with supplemented ...

A 61-day growth experiment was carried out to evaluate the potential of a poultry-based protein (PBP) comprising feather meal (FeM) and poultry meat bone (PMBM), as fishmeal (FM) substitute in diets juvenile pikeperch (Sander lucioperca, L.). Pikeperch (initial body weight 113.12 g) were randomly distributed groups 250 fish twelve 1.8 m3 circular recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) tanks, fe...
