Dietary salt concentrations influence growth, nutrient utilization, and fatty acid profiles of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) reared in brackish water.

Expansion of economically viable turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) aquaculture depends on access to brackish-cold ground water sources in various parts of the world. Since brackish water sources can adversely affect the physiology and zoo technical performance of fish due to the burden of osmoregulation, dietary salt inclusion can alleviate the negative impacts of low-saline waters in several aquaculture species. This study investigated the effects of increasing dietary salt levels on the growth, feed utilization, body composition, and tissue fatty acid composition of juvenile turbot (initial live weight 120.

Overview and Challenges of Large-Scale Cultivation of Photosynthetic Microalgae and Cyanobacteria.

Microalgae and cyanobacteria are diverse groups of organisms with great potential to benefit societies across the world. These organisms are currently used in food, feed, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In addition, a variety of novel compounds are being isolated.

Influence of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on food intake and growth of penaeid shrimps Marsupenaeus japonicus and Penaeus semisulcatus (Decapoda: Penaeidae).

The effects of neuropeptide Y (NPY) administered intramuscularly or orally on postlarvae (PLs) of two penaeid species were investigated in this study. In experiment 1, food intake (FI) of Marsupenaeus japonicus PLs (0.96 g), injected with NPY at 0.
