The presence of small-sized (<300 µm) microplastics (MPs) in aquaculture facilities may threaten finfish hatchery, as their (in)voluntary ingestion by fish larvae compromise nutritional requirements during early ontogeny, and consequently larval health performance. Thus, we addressed the short-term effects (7 h) polyethylene (0.1, 1.0, 10 mg/L, PE-MPs) meagre Argyrosomus regius (15 dph) pres...

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...

Aquaculture, breeding, and rearing of aquatic animals (mollusks, crustaceans, and finfish) in marine, brackish, and freshwater bodies is playing an increasingly important role with respect to food security for the growing human population and is predicted to dominate the seafood supply within a few decades [1]. However, the further sustainable expansion of the sector is currently hampered by a ...
