Summary: Global demand for blue food is increasing, with considerable regional variation in the relationship between wealth and consumption, and diverse geographic patterns in fish group consumption. It is projected that global fish demand will nearly double by 2050, and the nutritional and environmental consequences will depend on substitution among fish groups and other animal source foods in national diets.

Summary: The study found that pacu fed with 0/390 and 70/320 diets showed higher final body weight, specific growth rate, and protein efficiency ratio. Additionally, diets with amylose contents higher than 200 g/kg resulted in significantly higher crude lipid content in the whole body and muscle lipid, as well as hepatosomatic index compared to the 0/390 diet. It can be concluded that diets with more than 300 g/kg amylopectin and less than 100 g/kg amylose lead to increased starch utilization and growth in pacu.

Summary: Ornamental fish husbandry faces challenges and losses, such as transport stress and disease outbreaks. This review discusses measures to prevent or control fish diseases and the role of natural and sustainable microbial feed additives (such as probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics) in enhancing the health, reducing transport stress, and promoting growth and reproduction of farmed ornamental fish. The review aims to fill the knowledge gap in advanced and sustainable practices in ornamental fish production.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the attraction and palatability of juvenile Betta splendens when fed diets containing tilapia meal and different protein sources. The results showed that the inclusion of porcine liver protein hydrolysate (PLH) resulted in the highest attractivity and palatability, suggesting its potential use as a substitute for tilapia meal to reduce feed waste in aquariums.

Summary: Nutrition therapy is crucial for critically ill, surgical, burns, and oncology patients. While overfeeding may increase infection risk, morbidity, and mortality, permissive underfeeding is now practiced, leading to inadequate protein intake due to lack of concentrated protein solutions and fluid restrictions. Adequate protein provision is essential for acutely ill patients, and higher protein intake can improve outcomes. New solutions with higher protein levels in smaller volumes are being developed to address this challenge.

Summary: Two experiments were conducted to determine the crude protein (CP) requirement of Heros severus. The results showed that both fingerlings and juveniles had different optimum CP levels for weight gain, growth rate, feed conversion, and other parameters. Lower levels of CP in the diet led to lower blood glucose and hematocrit values in juveniles.

Summary: The study demonstrated that the biofloc system can effectively improve the growth and survival rate of goldfish larvae. A higher density of Artemia nauplii supply benefits the growth of goldfish larvae, while the concentration of total suspended solids has little impact on animal growth performance. Lower stocking density can result in optimal growth results.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with L-carnitine on growth performance, gut and muscle histological parameters, blood hematology, plasma biochemical parameters, and antioxidant enzymes in Nile tilapia juveniles. Results showed that supplementation with L-carnitine improved growth performance and reduced lipid content in the filet, while also increasing the activity of the enzyme catalase in the liver. Different inclusion levels of L-carnitine had varying effects on weight gain, fat deposition, and triacylglycerol in the fish.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of supplementing glycine in soybean meal-based diets on the growth performance of juvenile hybrid striped bass. The results showed that dietary supplementation with 1% or 2% glycine improved the growth performance of the fish, as indicated by increased body weight, weight gain, protein efficiency ratio, and retention of dietary lipids. Furthermore, glycine supplementation influenced the intestinal structure and skeletal muscle fiber diameter distribution.

Summary: This study found that adding Spirulina meal to the diet of European seabass can improve their growth and immunity. After 30 days, respiratory burst activity and lysozyme activity increased significantly, and myeloperoxidase activity increased significantly on the 60th day. IL-1 beta, IL-10, IL-6, and IL-8 gene expressions also increased significantly. Furthermore, fish fed with Spirulina meal showed a higher resistance against Vibrio anguillarum.

Summary: Adding 2 g kg(-1) of surface-modified clinoptilolite to the feed can enhance the growth parameters of fingerling gilthead sea bream in a recirculating aquaculture system. It also improves weight gain, specific growth rate, and feed conversion ratio. However, there were no significant differences in body indices, blood parameters, or whole-body protein and fat levels among the different dietary levels of zeolite supplementation.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of Algimun(R) dietary supplement on the growth performance, immune responses, and disease resistance of gilthead seabream juveniles. The results showed that the inclusion of Algimun(R) significantly improved growth performance, increased lysozyme and myeloperoxidase activity, and upregulated the expression of immune-related genes in the intestines, spleen, and head kidneys. Furthermore, fish fed with Algimun(R) exhibited higher survival rates against bacterial infection.

Summary: The present study evaluated the health status of rainbow trout acclimated to high-saline water and found that gradual acclimation did not have adverse effects on fish health. Hematology markers showed a time-dependent increase after seawater transfer, but the health status improved over the long-term. Therefore, trout farms can potentially be expanded to higher saline environments without detrimental impacts on fish health.
