This research evaluated the protective effect of vitamin A (VA) on the adverse effect of fish oil (FO) substitution with palm oil (PO) in an economical crab Eriocheir sinensis. Three diets of FO, PO, and PO + 8000 IU/kg VA as the main lipid sources were fed to crabs, respectively, for 8 weeks....

This study evaluated the effects of dietary myo-inositol (MI) levels on growth, body composition, antioxidant status, non-specific immunity and lipid metabolism in juvenile Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis). A total of 960 crabs was fed with six diets supplemented with graded levels of MI...

The effects of system partition on the water quality were studied using three shrimp ponds (Ts), and each one of the shrimp pond was connected individually with a fish pond by piping and pump. Three other isolated shrimp ponds were designated as the Cs treatment. The results showed that the...

Cryopreservation has been expected to improve the efficiency of hatchery operation by supplying gametes on demand without live broodstocks and genetic improvement programs by achieving desired mating and establishing across-generation controls. The preservation of genetic materials of improved...

The present study investigated the effect of vitamin A on growth performance, lipid metabolism, fatty acid composition, antioxidant ability and inflammatory response of crabs fed different vegetable oils. The dose of 6000 IU/kg of dietary vitamin A was supplemented into three basal diets with...

The ability of immune defense and resistance to physiological stress is crucial to animal health and survival. This study investigated the regulation of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on metabolic homeostasis and its enhancement of hepatopancreas health in juvenile Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir...

Pacific oysters are among the most important shellfish aquaculture species worldwide. Gamete and larval cryopreservation are promising techniques that could be used in genetic conservation to address industry issues, such as off-season breeding, asynchronous gonad development, and biosecurity...

β-Conglycinin is a major component of feed allergens that can cause inflammation and dysfunction of intestinal digestion and absorption in fish, but little is known in crab. This study investigated the mitigative effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on growth inhibition and intestinal damage induced...

Vegetable oils (VOs) are widely used in the aquatic feed industry because of their stable source and low price, but they can cause a series of adverse effects on aquatic animals. Myo-inositol (MI) plays a vital role in regulating lipid metabolism and the health of aquatic animals. However, it...

The effects of dietary vitamin A level on the growth performance, immunity, oxidation resistance and lipid metabolism of juvenile Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis (0.84 ± 0.00 g) were determined in the present study. Six group of crabs (four replicate tanks per group with 40 crabs per tank)...
