However, not much is known about the metabolic mechanisms underlying the effects of these products. An evaluation of immune stimulatory products for whiteleg shrimp using a metabolomics approach has […]

Precise feeding in the recirculating aquaculture mode is a critical problem. Accurate prediction of shrimp biomass could determine the appropriate feeding amount and ensure stable water quality. This review presents the development of an intelligent feeding technique in a recirculating aquaculture system for rearing Litopenaeus vannamei. Researchers have used machine […]

Artificial sea salt mixtures are required for shrimp inland production, which can be a substantial portion of the production costs. This article presents results that indicate that using the low-cost artificial sea salt (LCS) formulation reduces artificial sea salt cost significantly, up to 15%, while having no significant impacts on […]

In terms of dietary composition, protein is the single largest and most expensive component in fish feed. A feeding trial was conducted to determine the maximum substitution limits of poultry by-product meal protein for fish meal protein in the diet of juvenile Black Sea Bass Centropristis striata. Results showed poultry […]
