Summary: This study investigated the effects of propolis on the growth, body composition, and serum biochemistry of juvenile sea bream. Propolis supplementation in sea bream feed showed a quadratic relationship with specific growth rate and weight gain, with optimal effects at 3.68 g kg(-1). Overall, propolis did not significantly affect feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio, or serum biochemical parameters.

Summary: This study evaluated the replacement of dietary protein sources with Brewer's spent dry yeast (SDY) in gilthead sea bream and found that SDY had a modulatory effect on the host's immunity, oxygen carrier capacity, steroidogenesis, metabolism, and digestion. The results indicate that SDY can be considered as both a sustainable raw material and a functional ingredient.

Summary: The study found that weight gain in juvenile spotted knifejaw improved with increasing dietary protein levels, but slightly declined after 45.87%. Daily feed intake increased as dietary protein levels decreased. The optimal protein supplement for the fish was found to be between 42.92% and 46.44%, and the fish had poor ability to utilize dietary carbohydrates.

Summary: In this study, the immune mechanisms involved in the resistance of Gilthead sea bream to RGNNV infection were elucidated through RNA-Seq analysis. The results showed that sea bream displayed a strong immune response characterized by the high expression of type I interferon-related genes, immune receptors, and antigen presentation-related genes in both brain and head kidney tissues. Additionally, complement-, coagulation-, and angiogenesis-related genes were highly enriched in the head kidney at the earlier sampling point. Interestingly, a neuroprotective scenario with restrained inflammation was observed in the brain of sea bream, unlike the activation of the stress axis and immunosuppression found in sea bass.

Summary: The combination of physical exercise and a balanced diet has significant health benefits and can improve fish production. However, factors such as training regimen and dietary macronutrient ratio can affect the redox balance. This study evaluated the effects of physical activity and diet composition on oxidative stress in gilthead sea bream juveniles and found that diet composition and sustained swimming can affect the redox balance, but the response depends on the interaction between these factors and the tissue studied.

Summary: The study suggests that replacing a portion of fishmeal (FM) with FK can improve the growth performance and feed utilization of black sea bream. Results show that replacing 8.27% FM protein with FK significantly enhances the weight gain of fish.

Summary: An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the optimal dietary protein level for juvenile marbled flounder, with a protein level of 58.8% resulting in the highest weight gain and feed utilization efficiency. It was found that fish fed with the CP58.8 diet had higher protein and lipid contents, suggesting that this level of dietary protein is optimal for growth and feed efficiency in juvenile marbled flounder.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the optimal dietary methionine requirement for juvenile sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus selenka. The results showed that as dietary methionine levels increased, weight gain and specific growth rate initially increased and then decreased. Meanwhile, protein and lipid contents in body wall increased initially and then dropped, while amino acids content increased.

Summary: The study revealed that gilthead sea bream larvae are susceptible to RGNNV/SJNNV infection regardless of age, with clear clinical signs and mortality observed only in the youngest group. Survivors tested negative for specific antibodies. The replication efficiency of RGNNV/SJNNV was higher in 21-day-old larvae, correlating with disease outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the optimal protein requirement for green turtles in head-starting programs. The results showed that a protein level of 40.6% supported the highest growth performance and feed utilization in turtles. This protein level also improved digestive enzyme activities, calcium and phosphorus deposition in carapace, and had no negative effects on turtles' health.

Summary: Threonine significantly influenced the growth and feed utilization of largemouth bass, with the optimal supplemental level identified as 5.0 g kg-1. Increased threonine supplementation initially led to higher weight gain and specific growth rate, but then showed a decrease in these parameters.

Summary: In this study, PLE technique was used for the first time to extract protein extracts with antioxidant activity from side streams of gilthead sea bream, increasing the protein recovery percentages and antioxidant capacity of the extracts. Through ICP-MS and LC-ESI-qTOF-MS analysis, levels of toxic metals were found to be below established limits, with no mycotoxins detected in the sea bream side streams, demonstrating the potential of environmentally friendly technology for valorizing fish processing side streams.
