With the prolongation of the post-catch circulation time, the soft tissue of live clam could gradually decline in its quality. This study investigated the quality changes of clams (Ruditapes philippinarum) during the cold chain transportation, and then focused on the rehydration processes, which...

Six iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipid experimental diets were formulated to evaluate growth performance, intestinal digestive enzyme activity and the transcript expression of nutrition utilization related genes of the pacific white prawn, Litopenaeus vannamei (initial average body weight: 0.45 ± 0.01...

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate a new dietary protein Methanotroph (Methylococcus capsulatus, Bath) bacteria meal (BPM) on nutritional profile of Litopenaeus vannamei. The basal diet was formulated to contain 25% fish meal and then 15%, 30% and 45% of fish meal protein were replaced with...

The oyster is well-known for its delicious taste and nutritional benefits. However, the taste of oysters in the market is relatively monotonous at present. In order to develop more tastes of oysters, this study explored the taste compounds (organic-acids, 5'-nucleotides and free amino acids) of...

Many economically important species in demand in the market and with depleted populations have been artificial bred and their seed intensively released into the wild. As one of the most important fishery species in China, the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus has been stocked in Panjin at a...

Methanotroph (Methylococcus capsulatus, Bath) bacteria meal is a kind of bacterial protein meal (BPM) with an excellent nutrition profile. This study evaluated the effects of replacing fish meal (FM) with BPM on growth, antioxidant capacity, intestinal morphology, and gut microbiota of Pacific...

Evidence from many studies indicates that taurine addition may yield an influence on growth in aquaculture animals. Nevertheless, the application efficacy of taurine remains inconsistent across studies. This meta-analysis was conducted to quantify the effects of dietary taurine supplementation on...

The application potential of spirulina meal in aquaculture feeds has been well summarized in several descriptive reviews. Nevertheless, they converged on compiling results from all possible relevant studies. Little available quantitative analysis regarding the pertinent topics has been reported....

A series of 8 weeks feeding experiment was conducted to estimate the suitable proportion of yeast hydrolyzate (YH) suitable for fishmeal in feed of Litopenaeus vannamei. Supplementation of YH were 0, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, 10% and 12.5%, respectively. The substitution proportions for fishmeal were 0,...
