A feeding trial was carried out to evaluate the utilization of residual nutrients from shrimp farming wastes (SFW) as co-feed in juvenile grey mullets Mugil cephalus. Four treatments were designed to offer shrimp farming wastes in different proportions as feed. The first treatment (control)...

Soft-shell crab, a newly moulted crab having non-calcified and hydrated soft exoskeleton, farming has been increasing tremendously in recent years throughout the world due to its high market price and consumer preferences. However, high aggressiveness and cannibalistic behaviour of mud crab limit...

Diversification of shrimp farming with marine finfish in a farmer participatory research model was attempted. The study is intended to find an economically viable finfish culture during the fallow period of shrimp farms. The Silver pompano, Trachinotus blochii intercropped with Pacific white ...

Understanding the effects of different natural diets on the growth performance and nutritional quality of mud crab Scylla paramamosain is important for both aquaculture and human nutrition perspectives. In the present study, female S. paramamosain were fed with two different natural diets, a marine ...

A comparative study was carried out to compare the effect of caging mullet and tilapia in a shrimp polyculture system. In six shrimp tanks (three tanks for each fish species), either mullet, Mugil cephalus (CCT-SM), or tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (CCT-ST), was stocked in cages. In three other...

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....
