Human diplogonoporiasis caused by the tapeworm Diplogonoporus balaenopterae has been rarely reported in Japan in the last decade. A 38-year-old man complained of a fever, diarrhea, intermittent abdominal pain, and worm excretion. He had a history of consuming raw juvenile Japanese anchovy one month earlier. On admission, the patient had acute enteritis and received intravenous fluids. During hospitalization, he excreted a white worm in his stool. On a macroscopic examination, the worm was found to be a tapeworm with scolexes. His health improved spontaneously without taking anthelmintic agents. Based on the genetic analysis, the tapeworm was identified as Diplogonoporus balaenopterae.

Background: is an opportunistic and omnivorous species that primarily feeds on plant material. Recent studies have shown that Endo-β-1,4-glucanase and Endo-β-1,4-mannanase are expressed in the transcriptome of adult specimens, while juveniles are capable of digesting nutrients from purified cellulose in their diet. In organisms that degrade raw plant material, laccase plays a key role in oxidizing phenolic compounds found in lignin, leading to its depolymerization and increasing access to cellulose and hemicellulose microfibrils.

To overcome the aquafeed challenges for aquaculture in Iran, the world's largest rainbow trout producer, the nutrient digestibility and retention of eight rendered poultry by-products, and two plant protein sources were investigated. The test ingredients were added to a casein-based semipurified reference diet as control diet and fed to juvenile rainbow trout in three runs. During the experimental runs, test ingredients were added to the control diet in a ratio of 30 : 70.

A feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of glycerol monolaurate (GML) on growth performance, lipid metabolism, inflammation, and related gene expression in common carp fed a high lipid diet. Juvenile common carp were distributed into 18 cages and fed one of six isonitrogenous diets: a normal lipid diet (control diet, CT), a high lipid diet (HL), and high lipid diets supplemented with 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 g kg GML (designated as GML-0.
