Enrichment of live foods by essential nutrients such as highly unsaturated fatty acids is an important tool for improvement of larval fish quality. In this study, nutritional effects of Artemia urmiana enriched by fish and plant oils on growth, survival rate, body compositions and resistance against thermal, salinity and hypoxic stresses in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss were examined. Six ...

Bacillus spp. are Gram-positive spore-forming bacteria used commercially as probiotics in the larviculture of fish. Bacillus spp. can act positively on cultured organisms by enhancing their survival and growth, stimulating their digestive and immune systems, and improving water quality. In this present study, grass carp larvae were fed on Artemia urmiana, Artemia fransiscana and Artemia parthen...

A novel three-step technology for treatment of four molasses-based raw industrial effluents, varying in their COD, color and turbidity is reported here. Sequential steps involved in this treatment are; (1) sonication of the effluents, (2) whole-fungal treatment of these by a ligninolytic marine fungus and (3) biosorption of the residual color with heat-inactivated biomass of the same fungus. So...

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh lama waktu pengkayaan HUFA (W-3 Highly Unsatured Fatty Acid) pada nauplius artemia terhadap perkembangan larva kepiting bakau (Scylla tranquebarica). Metode didesain dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) 4 perlakuan masing-masing 3 kali ulangan sehingga dibutuhkan wadah sebanyak 12 unit perlakuan: A) Nauplius diperkaya selama 1 jam (K...

Globally, wild seahorse populations are threatened due to, habitat destruction and unsustainable human exploitation among others. Furthermore, aquaculture-based mass-scale rearing is still uncommon due to the low survival rates of seahorse juveniles and exceptionally high feed costs. Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of both highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) supplies and a co...

the present study investigates the possibility of enriching adult artemia franciscana with singular or combined administration of pediococcus acidilactici and fructooligosaccharide (fos). the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four treatments, including synbiotic, p. acidilactici +fos (t1), probiotic, p. acidilactici (t2), prebiotic, fos (t3) and control (t4). to ev...

This study was performed to compare the efficiency of six microalgae namely Dunaliella tertiolecta, Tetraselmis suecica, Nannochloropsis oculata, Chaetoceros sp < em>., Chlorella sp. and Spirolina sp < em>. on the growth, survival rate and reproduction efficacy in Artemia urmiana in laboratory conditions. Artemia cysts were harvested from Urmia Lake and hatched according to the standard method....

Growth rate, soluble-protein content, oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion, and digestive-enzyme activity were studied in Litopenaeus setiferus early postlarvae under four feeding regimens that included combinations of freshly hatched Artemia nauplii, microparticulate commercial diet, and algae. Growth and of postlarvae fed a mixed diet were significantly higher. Artificial diet used alone cau...
