Despite a growing interest in microalgae and cyanobacteria as potential sources of nutrients aquafeeds, little information is presently available on their nutritive value for carnivorous fish species. The aim this study was to evaluate chemical composition nutrient digestibility panel dried biomasses (MACB), using rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss W.) model. Nine test diets were obtained by mi...

This study was conducted to investigate and compare the fatty acids and tocopherols of lipid extracted from marine microalgae, Nannochloropsis oculata (NO) and Tetraselmis suecica (TS) using solvent extraction and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE). Fatty acids and tocopherols were determined in the extracted lipid as functions of the temperature (40, 80oC) and pressure (3000, 5000, 7000, 900...

Five treatments including Conway medium, media containing 0.1, 0.17, 0.3 and 0.5 mg l-1 ferrous (Fe; in the first experiment), media with 1, 1.26, 1.59, 2 mg l-1 concentrations of phosphorous (P; in the second experiment) and a pure sample of Tetraselmis suecica were cultured under laboratory conditions. Growth rate of the algae was determined using the optical density method at 750 nm and numb...

We generalize the approach first proposed by Manton [Nucl. Phys. B 150, 397 (1979)] to compute solitary wave interactions in translationally invariant, dispersive equations that support such localized solutions. The approach is illustrated using as examples solitons in the Korteweg-de Vries equation, standing waves in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, and kinks as well as breathers of the sin...
