The largemouth bass is an important freshwater fish in China. As global climate changes, mass mortality in largemouth bass due to extremely low/high temperatures has aroused growing concern. In the present study, we investigated the physiological responses of the liver and intestine in largemouth...

Background: In Mediterranean countries, the production of seabream and seabass has grown steadily over the last decades, and this trend is expected to continue. At the same time, sustainability has become a key question, and sustainable management strategies are needed to reduce the environmental...

High mortality during transportation has restricted industrial development of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), especially juveniles, in China. Supplementation with Haematococcus pluvialis has been proved to promote crustacean survival and growth. Therefore, this study investigated the...

In this study, an 8-week feeding trial was performed to evaluate the effects of dietary metformin inclusion on the growth performance, body composition, glucose homeostasis and liver histology of juvenile largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides (LMB) fed high starch diets. Using a 2 × 2 factorial...

Sturgeons belong to an extraordinarily old and highly endangered group of fish. Although the sex determining region in this taxon was recently discovered, there is still a great need for the development of reliable gene expression markers for sturgeon sexing in their different life stages which...

The golden-back crucian carp (Carassius auratusgibelio), an indigenous fish with significant ecological, economic and cultural value, is found in Dong's Rice Fish Duck System, one of the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems in the world. Its pigment cells undergo a complicated series of ...

The large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) is a commercially important marine fish indigenous to the southeastern coast of China. Cultured L. crocea is frequently subjected to hypoxia which causes huge economic losses to the aquaculture industry. Therefore, it is crucial to elucidate the...

The purpose of this study was to explore whether Acer truncatum leaves alleviated lipid accumulation, and improved liver and intestine health of grass carp fed with high-fat diet (HFD). Grass carp were fed with regular diet (RD), HFD, HFD contained 2% A. truncatum leaves (HFD_2AL) and 4% A....

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for fish. Appropriate dietary Se supplementation is essential for fish's normal growth and health. This study was conducted to explore the dietary Se requirement of on-growing grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) (73.27 ± 0.12 g) using selenium yeast...

One of the main strategies to implement the sustainability of aquaculture is by reducing its dependence on feed raw materials derived from wild marine resources, unsustainable land and freshwater use. To totally replace wild-caught fishmeal (FM), fish oil (FO) and soy protein (SP) in European sea...
