The aquafeed industry evolved alongside fish farming, utilizing scientific and technological advancements to incorporate a variety of feed additives, supplements, alternative ingredients in the nutrition feeding aquaculture. These advances played significant role improving production, health, welfare farmed fish. Recent research Brazil highlighted importance using such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, ensure that receive all necessary nutrients for growth health. Functional additives can...
Algae are known for their rich nutrients, which can enhance productivity of agricultural crops, making them valuable biostimulants. However, the use microalgae this purpose is still in its early stages, and there have been no studies conducted on lupine crops Brazil so far. This study aimed to investigate impact extracts growth white lupine. The experiment included four different (Limnospira platensis, Nannochloropsis oculata, Tetradesmus obliquus, Chaetoceros muelleri), applied either once...
This study aims to evaluate a Pacific white shrimp and Nile tilapia integrated system using biofloc technology with or without the addition of microalgae Scenedesmus obliquus fish feed supplementation in two-factor 62-day experiment. The (2.16 ± 0.01 g) were reared under density 400 m−3 (1.53 0.12 522 m−3. was added culture water two times week. Growth performance, sludge production, microbiology evaluated. Fish improved final biomass 58% 14%, respectively (p < 0.05). survival significantly...
Considering the high interest and commercial value of pigments from microalgae, this study aimed to stablish best lutein β-carotene extraction method for Desmodesmus sp., a microalgae with biomass production.The evaluation was done considering solvent or mixture, number extractions, pre-treatment dry acetone, saponification in methanol ethanol stability obtained extract.Among achieved results, extractor hexane:ethanol mixture 1:1 (v/v) proportion.In order obtain maximum yield, pattern...
Background/Aim: Glioblastomas (GBMs) are the most malignant primary brain tumor. New treatment strategies against disease urgently needed, as therapies not completely efficient. In this study, we evaluated antitumorigenic activity of carotenoid fucoxanthin (Fx) on human GBM cells in vitro. Materials and Methods: GBM1 cell viability proliferation was assessed by MTT reduction, Ki67 single cloning assays. migration invasion were analyzed wound healing Transwell Apoptosis necrosis flow...
Sulfated polysaccharides (SPs), especially those with immunostimulant effects on shrimp and fish, are bioactive compounds potential use in aquaculture. In this study, Pacific white (Penaeus vannamei) were fed diets containing 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, or 2.0% crude extracts from the microalga Porphyridium cruentum for 30 days. After dietary supplementation, exposed to Vibrio alginolyticus, allowing assessment of phenoloxidase activity (PO) total hemocyte count (THC) pre- post-challenge, as well...
Microalgae have great biotechnological potential but the high cost of traditional formulae culture media is one limiting factors to their commercial cultivation. As an alternative, use residual water from other activities has been proposed as a medium. The goal this study was produce Chaetoceros muelleri, Nannochloropsis oculata and Tetraselmis chuii biomass using intensive Litopenaeus vannamei biofloc cultivation system verify ammoniacal nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate orthophosphate...
Microalgae are essential for most aquaculture hatcheries as first-feed larvae. Even so, high labour costs and risk of production crashes have encouraged the search fresh culture substitutes, such microalgae concentrates. Despite their importance a commodity sector, concentrates not available worldwide, consolidated knowledge is scarce. Therefore, this bibliographic study aimed review products hatcheries, identifying research gaps suggesting opportunities development. In studies, cultures...
The use of microalgal biomass in the production biofuels and bioproducts are an area research which has received attention recent years. aim this study was to screen biochemical composition five different biomass: Chlorella vulgaris, Spirulina platensis, Scenedesmus spp., Porphyridium cruentum Phaeodactylum tricornutum for biodiesel application. Green microalgae (C. vulgaris spp.) showed high protein contents 56.1% 49.0% respectively. Red P. presented carbohydrate content about 34.5%. lipid...
