Abstract Fishmeals (FM) are the most superior protein sources in aquafeed. World‐wide growing demand and limited supply of FM limit its use as sole aquafeed force fish nutritionists to develop alternate protein‐based aquafeeds. However, increasing proteins over a certain percentage reduces performance. Many attempts have been made (viz., manipulation processing technology feed ingredients formulations, supplementation strategy) overcome negative effects alternative inclusion Among them,...

The ongoing rapid climate change, combined with the disturbance of fish breeding grounds, may impact reproduction by endangering successful and survival, thus affect viable sustainability in aquaculture systems as well sea. In this study we focus on biocomplexity response to change. Further, propose adaptive strategies, including technological advancements, using a noninvasive non-lethal approach, outline an assisted nutrigenomics approach mitigating reproductive risks posed This was done...

Abstract Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ), the most cultured crustacean in world, has become one of key species international aquatic trade accounting for 11.96% total aquaculture production value 2020. The development aquafeed industry, especially large‐scale use fish meal (FM) and oil, contributed to promoting expansion production. However, supply FM fluctuated at about 5 million tons per year affected by El Nino during last decades. This finite combination with continued...

Abstract With decreasing world oceans fish stock there is rapid increase in aquaculture production. To meet this demand, an urgent need to improve existing technologies and make the system more sustainable economically feasible. Diatoms are unicellular protists that present ubiquitously freshwater marine habitats responsible for 40% of 20% net global primary productivity. They most preferred microalgae production live feeds mariculture due their suitable size, easy digestibility, optimum...

Abstract Carbohydrates serve as essential macronutrients in aquaculture feeds, providing cost‐efficiency and numerous advantages, including energy supply, pellet stability, reduced ammonia excretion, support for exoskeleton synthesis crustaceans. Despite their significance, research on carbohydrate nutrition crustaceans has been relatively limited compared to finfish. This comprehensive review addresses this knowledge gap by presenting contemporary insights into utilization commercially...

Abstract Improving feed utilization efficiency is a challenge in aquaculture. Therefore, we developed an indirect benchmark to use selecting trout for improved of on plant protein (soy)-based diets, with the long-term goal reducing cost commercial production. We used four-part integrative approach identify efficient individuals among 1595 fish coming from 12 genetically selected families by establishing phenotypic relationship between conversion ratio (FCR) and body weight variations using...

The phenomenon of intestinal dysfunction is widely observed in white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) culture, and β-1,3-glucan has been confirmed to be beneficial health with a lack understanding its underlying mechanism. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria served as the predominant phyla inhabiting intestine shrimp, whilst significant variation their proportion was recorded fed basal supplementation diets this study. Dietary could dramatically increase microbial diversity affect...

Fungal mycotoxins are the secondary metabolities and harmful to plants, animals, humans. Common aflatoxins present isolated from feeds food comprises B1, B2, G1, G2. Public health threats or risk of foodborne disease posed by mycotoxins, especially export import such meat products primary concern. This study aims determine concentration level G2 M1, M2 respectively in imported burger meat.
