The pirarucu, Arapaima gigas, is an emblematic endangered Amazon osteoglossid with high potential for aquaculture development. In this study, we report the in vivo collection of semen from pirarucu for the first-time and a complete description of the...
A 56-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of different dietary protein sources on the growth performance, muscle flavor substances, and quality structure of Triploid Crucian Carp. Three isonitrogenous (32.00%), isolipidic (8.00%), a...
The world’s oceans and seas host >100 known strains of thraustochytrids, a common group of marine eukaryotic unicellular protists, residing in diverse marine habitats, with many others to be isolated and cultivated. The thraustochytrids have...
Due to overfishing and marine pollution, the status of fishery resources and the ecological environment in the sea areas have considerably changed. The proliferation and release of fishery resources have become the main means of human intervention to...
The roach, Rutilus rutilus (Linnaeus, 1758), is one of the most common fish species in mesotrophic and eutrophic lakes throughout Europe. In the Serbian reservoirs selected for this study, this species accounts for the majority of juvenile fish bioma...
Stocking densities were evaluated for the rearing tambaqui in an RAS system. Experiment 1 used juveniles weighing 0.54 g at the following densities for 15 days: D0.3—0.3; D0.6—0.6; and D0.9—0.9 kg m−3. Experiment 2 used juveni...
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of solid-state fermented commercial pelleted feed with Lactobacillus plantarum on growth performance, digestive physiology, antioxidant, and immune capacity, as well as morphology and microbiota in intestinal...
The beam trawl is one of the primary operational trawls for Antarctic krill, and its beam provides horizontal expansion support for the trawl net. The hydrodynamic performance of the beam significantly affects the vertical expansion and sinking perfo...
The fluctuations in both time and space of larval fish assemblages in relation to hydrographic characteristics in the waters surrounding Taiwan Bank were studied in October 2021 (autumn) and March 2022 (spring). Throughout the study period, we identi...
