Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zhe M Cao"
- Zhe M Cao's research primarily focuses on enhancing aquaculture practices, specifically investigating the effects of dietary supplements on fish development and health, as seen in the study of apple peel powder supplementation in tilapia.
- Findings suggest that dietary apple peel powder can improve growth, blood parameters, and potentially address fatty liver issues in genetically improved farmed tilapia, indicating a promising approach to optimize aquaculture feeds.
- Additionally, Cao has explored the genetic aspects of freshwater mussels, contributing to the understanding of doubly uniparental inheritance of mitochondrial DNA, which enhances knowledge of evolutionary processes in bivalves and addresses gaps in genomic data on this topic.
