In this manuscript, three iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipidic diets containing 50, 150 and 250 g/kg of fishmeal (FM) were fed white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei for 8 weeks. At the end of feeding, survival and percentage weight gain of shrimp were examined. Hepatopancreas and haemolymph were sampled,...

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of fish-meal replacement on growth performance, whole body composition, apparent digestibility coefficients and anti-oxidative ability of juvenile Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Five practical diets were formulated to contain ...

Dietary fish meal (FM) and fish oil (FO) replacement are crucial for the sustainable development of aquaculture. An eight weeks feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the potential replacing FM with soy protein concentrate, and the suitable FO level for a low FM diet of Penaeus monodon. A diet...

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of different taurine levels on the growth performance of juvenile white shrimp fed with low-fishmeal diets. Six level diets of dietary taurine were prepared by the supplementation of taurine (0, 0.4 g kg^-1, 0.8 g kg^-1, 1.2 g kg^-1, 2.0 ...

A nutritional feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of shrimp paste on feeding attractiveness, growth performance, digestive enzyme activities, immune-related genes and intestinal morphology in hybrid snakehead (Channa maculata ♀ × Channa argus ♂). Two diets were formulated with...

The aim of the present experiment was to evaluate the effects of Schizochytrium limacinum supplementation on the immune response, gut microbiota, and health of Penaeus monodon fed a low fish-meal (FM) diet. A diet containing 25% FM was used as a control (Diet A), and three other diets were...

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of proline on anti-oxidative capacity, immune response and stress tolerance of juvenile Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Six practical low fishmeal diets (15% fishmeal) were formulated to contain graded levels (2.02, 2.14,...

This paper describes the demand, trade and marketing of marine aquaculture products; livelihood opportunities related to mariculture development; technology transfer; major cultured species, farming technologies and pollution control in China.

Probiotics are important biological control products in the aquaculture of sea cucumber, but probiotics used specifically in low-temperature environments are rare. The present study used treatment with low-temperature-resistant Sporosarcina aquimarina MS4 and investigated changes in growth,...

An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing fish meal (FM) with soybean meal (SBM) and peanut meal (PM) on growth, feed utilization, body composition and haemolymph indexes of juvenile white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, Boone. Five diets were formulated: a control...
