Dietary supplementation of phospholipids seems to be extremely important promote growth and survival in fish larvae. Several studies also suggest the importance n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) rich further enhance larval performance. In present study, four different diets were formulated order compare effect total dietary polar lipid contents, soya bean lecithin feeding HUFA form neutral or lipids on ingestion incorporation labelled gilthead seabream These prepared including...
Abstract Catfish (Siluriformes) are important species for aquaculture worldwide, with an annual production in 2018 of ca . 6 million t. This review focuses on reassessing larval development, first feeding, and early rearing practices the most farmed catfish species, along some candidate diversification: Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (Pangasiidae), Clarias gariepinus (Clariidae), Ictalurus punctatus (Ictaluridae), Pseudoplatystoma spp. (Pimelodidae), Heteropneustes fossilis (Heteropneustidae),...
With the move away from use of mouse bioassay (MBA) to test bivalve mollusc shellfish for paralytic poisoning (PSP) toxins, countries around world are having adopt non-animal-based alternatives that fulfil ethical and legal requirements. Various assays have been developed which subjected single-laboratory multi-laboratory validation studies, gaining acceptance as official methods analysis approval in some control testing methods. The majority studies conducted date do not, however,...
Black catfish (Rhamdia quelen) is a species of interest for aquaculture in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect R. quelen larvae on either only an artificial diet or combination with Artemia nauplii (AN) larval performance fatty acid composition. For 12 days, were fed from first (3 days after hatching, TL = 5.88 ± 0.23 mm) food AN (co-feeding). At end trial, total length co-fed significantly higher than that solely (P < 0.001). No significant...
Abstract Metals (Cu, Zn, Hg) and metalloid (As) concentrations were measured in Micropogonias furnieri Mugil platanus caught three areas along the Montevideo coastal zone during winter 2010, spring 2010 2011. Compared to previous studies conducted zone, both species showed higher (for Cu), similar Zn) or lower concentrations. The highest Hg values found M. of bay. There was no spatial variation Cu, As muscle, likely due high mobility species. However, Cu content liver fish from West zone. Zn...
Soy lecithin (SL) is a source of phospholipids, which play crucial role in determining cell membrane structure, fluidity, and functionality. This study investigated the effects dietary SL on performance, nutrient digestibility, body composition Nile tilapia juveniles (average initial weight 12.2 g) raised at 22 °C. The experimental diets contained increasing levels (0.0, 21.0, 43.0, 64.0 g kg−1). best gain feed efficiency occurred with 42.2 49.8 kg−1 inclusion, respectively, estimated...
Abstract Sediment bulk parameters and fatty acid biomarkers were used to investigate the relative contribution of major sources particulate organic matter during upwelling non-upwelling conditions, at enriched sites on south-eastern Brazilian coast. The degradation state material its implications for benthic food webs also evaluated. Temperature salinity values indicate intrusion South Atlantic Central Water in spring with a strong influence station 4S. C:N ratios suggest that sedimentary is...
This article presents a highly detailed territorial assessment for aquaculture production in Uruguay and methodology to identify the most suitable areas order develop activity. Furthermore, it proposes basis generate dynamic modelling tool of high spatial resolution support decision-making process regarding national activities. The structure suitability was developed by construction hierarchical model, combining multicriteria geographic information system. Forty-one attributes were...
Two feeding experiments were conducted to evaluate the suitability of two commercial microdiets as a complementary food for rearing larval gilthead seabream Sparus aurata . The effect these diets on growth, survival and total lipid composition, well histological structure liver examined. results first trial highlighted water quality an important factor microdiet‐fed larvae. An increase in flow rate improved despite reduction live supply. tank design growth was observed also seems be related...
For over 30 y, a mouse bioassay has been used to monitor paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxicity in harvested along the coast of Uruguay. Although providing good controlmechanism for safety consumers, assay is known have several disadvantages. To assess potential use liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, study was conducted analyze samples 20-y period using this alternative method. Mussels and clams were analyzed AOAC Official Method 2005.06 results compared those obtained...
