Summary: In order to increase the demand for U.S. farm-raised catfish, five healthy and convenient ready-to-cook products were developed as alternatives to basic fresh or frozen fillets. Analysis of the nutrient content and characteristics of the samples revealed unique differences between the Panko-breaded and marinated products, as well as a clear trend showing changes in moisture, protein, ash, and carbohydrate percentages.

Summary: The Chinese mitten crab is an important aquaculture species in China, and the introduction of effective microorganisms (EM) has shown positive effects on its growth, nutritional composition, and flavor quality. EM can improve water quality, optimize nutritional composition, and enhance overall flavor quality of the edible tissues in female crabs.

Summary: Research on the chemical composition of pollen from four industrial hemp varieties and bee abundance and diversity showed differences in composition among the varieties. The Joey variety was preferred by bees despite having lower nutritional content. Industrial hemp pollen provides some nutritional benefits to bees, but multiple sources of pollen are needed for sustained bee survival.

Summary: The study found that the fat content of European eels is directly related to their weight, with significant increases in certain fatty acids during growth. Smaller eels have higher levels of certain amino acids, while larger eels have the highest ratio of essential to nonessential amino acids.

Summary: The old indigenous pig breeds in Poland play a vital role in preserving livestock biodiversity. Crossbreeds are used for commercial pig production. This study compared the nutritional quality and health-promoting properties of meat from Pulawska breed pigs and their crossbreeds. The Pulawska breed had the lowest intramuscular fat content, but also the lowest saturated fatty acids, most favorable PUFA/SFA ratio, and the best atherogenic and thrombogenic indices. It also had a high protein content and concentration of indispensable amino acids.

Summary: This study investigated the weight distribution and nutritional composition of various cuts of herring obtained during the filleting process. The co-products were found to be rich in lipids, proteins, fatty acids, amino acids, minerals, and vitamins. The nutritional value of the co-products was often higher than that of the fillet, making them excellent sources for functional food and nutraceuticals.

Summary: The study investigated the nutritional composition of four commercially important edible crab species from Pakistani waters. Results showed that hard shell crab had higher protein content and energy value compared to soft shell crabs, with variations in amino acids, minerals, and vitamins. Arginine and lysine were the predominant amino acids, while calcium and zinc were the most abundant minerals across all crab samples. Niacin had the highest value among vitamins, followed by thiamine and ascorbic acid.

Summary: The sustainable cultivation of triangle sail mussel Hyriopsis cumingii is hindered by the lack of a suitable diet. Through single factor experiments, it was found that Cyclotella sp. was the optimal microalgal diet for H. cumingii, followed by Scenedesmus dimorphus.

Summary: Composition and apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) were determined for Spirulina meal produced from Arthrospira platensis. Spirulina meal had high protein content, rich in essential amino acids (EAAs) and showed high-quality protein characteristics. The meal also contained various beneficial compounds and low levels of antinutritional compounds and heavy metal contaminants. In a digestion assay, Spirulina meal demonstrated high digestibility coefficients and had no significant effects on the digestibility of essential nutrients in Atlantic salmon diets.

Summary: The study investigated the food preference and proximate analysis of the nymphal and adult stages of Brachytrupes membranaceus. The results showed that the insects fed with vegetables and tubers had higher weight gain. Proximate analysis revealed that B. membranaceus is a good source of protein and essential amino acids, making it suitable for farming by poor resource farmers in Nigeria.

Summary: Beebread is a fermented bee product made from plant pollen, honey and bee saliva, containing high levels of proteins, lipids, free sugars, essential amino acids, and natural antioxidants. These findings suggest that Beebread could serve as a valuable source of value-added nutrients and bioactive compounds.
