In coastal China, the clam-shrimp polyculture system is a new model of seawater aquaculture. A 60-day rearing experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of commercial effective microorganisms (EM) bacteria liquid, containing bacillus, photosynthetic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria and...

Effective culture and management of adult tri-spine horseshoe crab, Tachypleus tridentatus can ensure that stock enhancement programs and aquaculture systems are maintained. To explore suitable feed for animals during the breeding season, Pacific oyster (Ostrea gigas) (oyster group; OG) and frozen...

Fermented soybean meal (FSM) is used as a potential substitute for fishmeal in various aquatic species due to its enriched nutrient profile. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of two different kinds of FSM on growth and protein metabolism in the Chinese mitten crabs (Eriocheir sinensis). ...

Three isonitrogenous diets (41% crude protein) with 4.87%, 10.75% and 16.10% lipid were designed to evaluate the effects of dietary lipid levels growth, antioxidant capacity, expression levels of genes related to lipid and glucose metabolism of juvenile Scylla paramamosain. Each diet was fed to...

Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) is a widely farmed and economically important aquaculture species. However, species-specific knowledge about appropriate dietary protein requirements is limited to juveniles, cultured in experimental like conditions: indoors and in clear water. Previous...

An 8 weeks regression study was performed to test the effects of increasing light intensities from darkness to 30 W m^-2 on growth performance, molting, antioxidant capacity, and gene expression of molting and apoptosis-related genes in Scylla paramamosain. No significant differences were found in...

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....

An experiment was conducted over 120 days to investigate the digestive and antioxidant enzyme response in halophyte-based IMTA systems in comparison with the conventional polyculture system. The study consists of two culture systems. i.e., halophyte-based IMTA and conventional polyculture systems....

During the present study, the effect of five semi-humid experimental diets with different proportions of crab and squid were tested, on juveniles of the red octopus, Octopus maya. For this, five prepared diets based on crab and squid (SC50, SC60, SC70, SC80, and SC90; the number indicates the...

Environmental hypoxia represents a major physiological challenge for Eriocheir sinensis and Palaemonetes sinensis and is a severe problem in aquaculture. Therefore, understanding the metabolic response mechanisms of E. sinensis and P. sinensis, which are economically important species, to...
