Quality and shelf-life of whole and filleted Coryphaena hippurus, stored with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and natural antioxidants from halophytes (HAL), were investigated. Fillets were divided into control, simply sealed in trays; MAP, preserved by modified atmosphere (45% CO2, 50% N2, 5% O2); and MAP-HAL, pretreated with antioxidants and preserved by MAP. Whole and filleted fish were ...

The objective of this study was to identify the presence of harmful drug residues (Chloramphenicol and malachite green/gentian violet) and toxic heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury) in imported tilapia fillets. A total of 36 tilapia fillets were analyzed for these harmful chemical contaminants. The presence of veterinary drug residues were identified using competitive ELISA screeni...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of consuming gilthead sea bream fillets, with different n-6/ n-3 ratios, on atherosclerotic biomarkers. Twenty healthy subjects were included in a randomised single-blinded cross-over trial. Participants were randomized into 2 groups, both of which received approximately 630 g per week of gilthead sea bream fed with either 100% fishmeal (FM) or p...

We conducted a 84-day nutritional feeding experiment with dried whole cells of DHA-rich marine microalga Schizochytrium sp. (Sc) to determine the optimum level of fish-oil substitution (partial or complete) for maximum growth of Nile tilapia. When we fully replaced fish oil with Schizochytrium (Sc100 diet), we found significantly higher weight gain and protein efficiency ratio (PER), and lower ...

The objective of the present study was to investigate effect packaging methods (i.e., air-packaging and vacuum-packaging) storage temperatures chilled temperature 3 ± 1.0 °C superchilled -2.5 0.5 °C) on sensory quality lipid stability fresh snakehead fish fillets. results indicated that vacuum significantly improved fillets, resulting in lower free fatty acids (FFA), hydroperoxide (PV), thiobar...

this study was conducted to determine the residues of mercury (hg), lead (pb), copper (cu) and cadmium (cd) in the imported tilapia fillets. thirty random samples from imported tilapia fillets were collected from different markets in isfahan city, central iran. they were analyzed using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer (perkin elmer 800) for pb, cu, cd and flow injection mercury s...

Myxozoan spores were detected in fecal samples from three patients presenting with abdominal pain and/or diarrhea. The spores were identical to those of Myxobolus plectroplites, a previously described pathogen from the freshwater fish Plectroplites ambiguus. All patients had recently eaten fish caught from local waters, and frozen fillets of such fish were found to be infected with M. plectropl...

Sexual maturation of rainbow trout during production has a negative effect on the slaughter yields and flesh quality. Induction of triploidy is a method to prevent the development of fertile trout. In many investigations sexually mature triploid and diploid rainbow trout had been compared. In the present study the slaughter characteristics and flesh quality of female immature diploid and triplo...

In this study, the concentration levels of the probable carcinogenic PAH fractions, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and benzo[k]fluoranthrene (BkF) in fillets of some processed fish species were investigated. Fish species comprising Merluccius poli (hake), Tyrsites atun (snoek), Seriola lalandi (yellow-tail) and Brama brama (angel fish) were bought in fish shops at Gordon's Bay, Western Cape, South Africa...

BACKGROUND To ensure sustainable aquaculture, fish derived raw materials are replaced by vegetable ingredients. Fatty acid composition and contaminant status of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) are affected by the use of plant ingredients and a spillover effect on consumers is thus expected. Here we aimed to compare the effects of intake of Atlantic salmon fed fish oil (FO) with intake o...
