Article Synopsis
- The selection and quality of feed in aquaculture significantly affect the health and growth of aquatic organisms, with contamination often stemming from storage conditions and feed formulation.
- Researchers isolated twenty-two fungi from commercial fish feeds to study their prevalence, enzyme production, carbon source assimilation, and potential for aflatoxin production.
- Among the identified fungi, A. flavus M3-C1 was found to produce dangerously high levels of aflatoxins (295 ppb), which can negatively impact fish growth and increase the risk of liver cancer and mortality.
