Summary: Reducing fishmeal usage in shrimp feed by incorporating Shewanella sp. MR-7 with FSBM can effectively maintain shrimp growth performance. However, replacing fishmeal with a higher level of FSBM (above 45%) may lead to changes in intestinal microbiota composition and reduced resistance to ammonia stress.

Summary: This experiment assessed the possibility of replacing fishmeal with corn gluten meal in the diet of white shrimps. Results showed that when the replacement rate reached 30%, it had significant effects on the growth, feed utilization, digestive enzyme activity, and nutrient digestibility of the shrimp. In conclusion, the optimal dietary replacement rate was found to be 27.47%.

Summary: The study evaluated the negative effects of aflatoxin and fumonisin on the growth and performance of Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles, and found that an anti mycotoxin additive could compensate for these losses. The additive even resulted in better growth for the fumonisin contaminated group. Histological damage was observed in all contaminated treatments, but less pronounced in treatments containing the anti mycotoxin additive.

Summary: The study found that increasing the inclusion of mealworm in the diet led to linearly decreasing growth performance and feed utilization in meagre fish. However, mortality and digestive enzyme activity were not affected by the dietary treatments. Fish fed diets with 20% and 30% mealworm had significantly reduced whole-body protein content and energy compared to fish fed with a control diet.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of replacing fish meal with Clostridium autoethanogenum powder on growth, flesh quality, and metabolomics of largemouth bass. The results showed that partial substitution of fish meal with the powder was successful, but higher substitution levels decreased the flesh collagen content and hardness. The groups with higher powder inclusion showed higher flavoring amino acids contents and better performance in sensory evaluation.

Summary: Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of Eucommia ulmoides and its active components on the growth, lipid metabolism, and collagen metabolism of grass carp's hepatocytes and intramuscular fibroblasts. The results showed that Eucommia ulmoides and its active components improved cell proliferation, decreased triglyceride concentration, and upregulated gene expressions related to growth factors, protein kinases, and lipid metabolism in hepatocytes. In intramuscular fibroblasts, they promoted collagen deposition and modulated gene expressions associated with collagen metabolism. These findings suggest that Eucommia ulmoides has the potential to improve the growth and metabolism of grass carp.

Summary: The effects of dietary kaempferol on growth, lipid metabolism, and flesh quality of juvenile grass carp were investigated. Increasing levels of dietary kaempferol improved weight gain and feed conversion ratio. Kaempferol supplementation also increased flavor amino acids content and antioxidant enzyme activities, while decreasing intraperitoneal fat ratio and the levels of malondialdehyde, triacylglycerol, and cholesterol. Gene expression analysis revealed the involvement of mTOR, CAT, PPARα, and FAS genes. The recommended supplementation level of kaempferol for juvenile grass carp was 0.8 g/kg.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of dietary lipid and protein levels on various aspects of rainbow trout. The results showed that increasing the dietary lipid level led to improvements in growth performance and protein utilization, while decreasing feed conversion ratio. Increasing the dietary protein level did not have a significant effect on growth performance and feed utilization. Higher dietary lipid levels resulted in increased lipid content in the fish. Specific fatty acid levels in the muscle were positively correlated with dietary lipid level and negatively correlated with dietary protein level. The interaction between dietary protein and lipid significantly influenced oxidative damage and synthesis metabolism in the liver.

Summary: The study aimed to analyze the mechanism of Chlorella sorokiniana meal replacing fish meal on the growth performance and immune function of Pacific white shrimp. It was found that low replacement of fish meal (20%) with Chlorella significantly improved the growth performance of the shrimp, possibly through activating the C-type lectin receptor signaling pathway to regulate immune function. However, high replacement (>60%) of fish meal with Chlorella reduced growth performance and immunity, potentially through affecting the lysosomal signaling pathway.
