Fishmeal substitution with sustainable feed sources is highly essential towards sustainable production. This study aimed to investigate the effects of substituting fishmeal (FM) with Daphnia magna biomass meal (DBM) or zooplankton biomass meal (ZBM) on growth performance, liver and intestinal histology, gut bacterial abundance and stress tolerance of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, fry. Nile tilapia fry (0.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the effects of replacing fishmeal with Daphnia meal in the diet of hybrid red tilapia and found that fish fed 50-75% Daphnia meal showed significant improvements in growth performance and feed efficiency.
  • Digestive enzyme activities and antioxidant status were notably enhanced in fish fed diets with Daphnia meal compared to those on a control diet, indicating better health and nutrient absorption.
  • The research concluded that up to 50% substitution of fishmeal with Daphnia meal is viable for maintaining optimal growth, immune response, and intestinal health in hybrid tilapia.

A 120-day growth trial was completed to assess rearing water quality and fish performance in terms of growth, feed efficacy, digestive enzymes, immunity, and antioxidant activity of seabass fed an experimental diet (ED) supplemented with commercial wood charcoal (WC) and activated wood charcoal (AC). Three levels (0, 10, and 20 g) of WC and AC were administered, representing five treatments: control (CD) fish-fed ED without additives, (WC-1) fish-fed ED containing 10 g kg WC, (WC-2) fish-fed ED containing 20 g kg WC, (AC-1) fish-fed ED containing 10 g kg AC, and (AC-2) fish-fed ED containing 20 g kg AC. Three hundred fish (60.

A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to assess the effects of dietary supplementation with bile salts (BS), lutein (LTN), and their combination on growth, survival, carotenoid content, and antioxidant status of rabbitfish () larvae. Fish were fed four isonitrogenous (34.39% protein) and isoenergetic (20.
