Effects of oxygen levels and temperature on growth and physiology of pikeperch juveniles cultured in a recirculating aquaculture system.

This study aimed to understand how environmental factors, specifically water temperature and oxygen saturation, affect the growth performance and physiology of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) juveniles in recirculating aquaculture systems (RASs). Given the importance of optimising growth conditions in aquaculture to maximise efficiency, it aims to assess whether different combinations of oxygen levels and temperatures can enhance growth while maintaining the physiological health and welfare of the fish. The experimental design included the culturing pikeperch juveniles (22.

Considering Two Aspects of Fish Welfare on African Catfish () Fillet throughout Postmortem Condition: Efficiency and Mechanisms.

Knowledge about fish welfare and its impact on fish fillet quality is still insufficient. Therefore, the influence of two aspects of fish welfare (slaughtering method: bled and unbled fish; fish stock densities: 90, 120, and 150 kg·m) on African catfish fillet quality during postmortem conditions was investigated. The aim of study was to determine (i) the efficiency of bleeding on oxidation progress and (ii) the influence of stock density on fillet quality.

Neurotrophic keratopathy and refractive surgery.

Purpose Of Review: Corneal nerve function is an important consideration for the refractive surgeon. In patients without a history of neuropathy, refractive surgery can lead to destruction of corneal nerves and may predispose to keratopathy. The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the effect of refractive surgery on corneal nerve function and the potential for an increased risk of neurotrophic keratopathy development.

Optimization of short-term storage of pikeperch semen: an applicable approach.

Contamination of semen with urine and asynchronous maturation of males and females are main obstacles in artificial reproduction of pikeperch Sander lucioperca. The objective of this study was to overcome these obstacles using optimization of a procedure for short-term storage of pikeperch semen at 4°C using two immobilizing media (IM): (a) IM1, 180mM NaCl, 2.68mM KCl, 1.
