Inland saline culture of GIFT (Oreochromis niloticus) juveniles: effect of graded levels of lipid on growth and haemato-biochemical responses.

60-days trial was performed to study the effect of inland saline water (ISW) at 10ppt salinity on lipid requirement of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) juveniles. Six purified iso-nitrogenous (37% crude protein) and hetero-caloric (380-430 Kcal DE/100 g) diets having graded levels of dietary lipid viz., 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14% were prepared.

Scope of Archaea in Fish Feed: a New Chapter in Aquafeed Probiotics?

The outbreak of diseases leading to substantial loss is a major bottleneck in aquaculture. Over the last decades, the concept of using feed probiotics was more in focus to address the growth and health of cultivable aquatic organisms. The objective of this review is to provide an overview of the distinct functionality of archaea from conventional probiotics in nutrient utilization, specific caloric contribution, evading immune response and processing thermal resistance.
