An assay on tilapia Oreochromis niloticus and freshwater prawn Macrobrachium americanum in polyculture was conducted during 112 days to study the effect on their blood chemistry and biochemical body composition to determine the feasibility of this polyculture in high density. Six densities were...

Interspecies transmission of viruses, where a pathogen crosses species barriers and jumps from its original host into a novel species, has been receiving increasing attention. Viral covert mortality disease, caused by covert mortality nodavirus (CMNV), is an emerging disease that has recently had a ...

An 8-week experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of biofloc technology (BFT) on the growth, digestive activity, hematology, and immune response of genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) in light-limited and zero-water exchange culture tanks. The experiment consisted of one BFT...

In the past geological eras in the biosphere, species extinction was accompanied by speciation. Ecosystems adapted to a greater or lesser extent to coexist with a species whose activity had become a planetary factor and had a global impact on biospheric processes. One of it is the massive pollution ...

Co-culture of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, with marine shrimp has been an increasing farm practice as evidence has suggested that the co-culture is one of a few ways to mitigate shrimp diseases, especially the acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease that has affected shrimp culture industry ...

The freshwater mussel (Lamellidens marginalis) was employed with a 28-day aquarium rearing of stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis) exposed to a sublethal concentration (0.75 mg/l) of Pb(NO₃)₂ to evaluate the growth, Pb bioaccumulation, and associated liver histopathology in fish. Three...

Protein hydrolysates from poultry by-product (CPH) and poultry by-product plus swine liver (PHPPL) were evaluated for digestibility and attractiveness for Litopenaeus vannamei, their effect on growth as a substitute for salmon by-product meal. Initially, the apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) ...

This study evaluated the effects of seven diets composed of natural feed components (chopped fish, shrimp, and squid) alone or in combination on the liver metabolite profile of juvenile red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) cultured in a 24-tank recirculating aquaculture system over the course of 12 weeks ...

Saline-alkali water is widely distributed around the world, and salinization of water ecosystems has occurred in some areas of the world, comprising approximately one-third of the total land area, which has drawn much attention to the conservation of water ecosystems and aquatic animals. However,...

Marine by-products can compose up to 70% of the total weight of products from fisheries, most of which are discarded. However, these by-products are rich in highly unsaturated fatty acids that are not synthetized by most marine animals produced by aquaculture. Here, we used three marine by-products ...
