Two bacterial strains Lactobacillus fructivorans (AS17B), isolated from adult seabream (Sparus aurata L.) gut, and Lactobacillus plantarum (906), isolated from human faeces, were administered contemporaneously during seabream development using Brachionus plicatilis and/or Artemia salina and dry feed as vectors. Experimental group A received the probiotic strains already via rotifers from day 5 ...

background and aims: probiotics are defined as live microorganisms that are beneficial to human health. probiotics are commonly found in some foods such as dairy products or complementary tablets. a recent research shows that probiotics have a significant role in diabetes type 1 and 2 treatment. among the variety of lactic acid bacteria, lactobacillus strains are well known in probiotics for th...

In the first experiment, conducted in a research facility, Litopenaeus vannamei broodstock were fed either a 100% fresh food control treatment (FRE, consisting of frozen squid, oyster, mussel and enriched Artemia biomass in a 2.3:1.4:1.3:1 dry matter ratio) or one of the two treatments in which 50% [dry matter (DM)] of the fresh food was substituted with experimental artificial diets: a dry die...

  Six different diets including two rainbow trout starters, Gammarus dry powder, shrimp dry powder, egg yolk dry powder and newly hatched Artemia were used in feeding of Caspian Kutum larvae. During a 4-week trial, larvae with a mean weight of 17.5 ± 4.7 mg were fed with three replicates and growth parameters were measured at the end of the experiment. Thirty fish in each experimental unit with...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary Pediococcus acidilactici and folic acid (FA) and their combinations on growth performance, haematological parameters and non-specific immune response of Acipenser nudiventris. 210 individuals (initial body weight: 12.84± 1.53g) were fed seven practical diets: the basal diet as the control diet was supplemented with two levels of P <...

The probiotics are being used as ecofriendly and bioremediation tools for developing sustainability to aquaculture. present study was conducted explore the practical capability of using dietary lactic acid bacteria (Pediococcus acidilactici) see how its dose variation affected water quality, growth performance, survival rate, body composition, blood biochemical parameters, intestinal histology ...

This study sought to determine whether administration of steroids via bioencapsulation into live food is an efficient method for sex inversion of carnivorous species of fish in aquaculture. This technique may offer an alternative for sex reversing such species because the larvae strongly prefer live food compared to artificial diets. To determine whether steroids could accumulate in Artemia, na...
