Summary: This study investigated the ameliorative effects of Spirulina and Saccharomyces cerevisiae on fipronil toxicity in Nile tilapia fish. The results showed that fipronil had negative effects on growth performance, hematological and biochemical parameters, as well as genotoxicity in Nile tilapia. However, these negative effects were mitigated by dietary supplementation of Spirulina and Saccharomyces.

Summary: This study found that using CBD in Nile tilapia helps reduce stress, especially at high concentrations, while supplementation without CBD leads to increased stress. However, no significant difference in stress levels was observed among fish supplemented with different concentrations of CBD within a short period (72 hours).

Summary: The use of plant growth regulators has led to environmental contamination in water bodies adjacent to agricultural areas. This study investigates the toxic effects of gibberellic acid (GA(3)), a commonly used plant growth regulator, on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Results show that GA(3) exposure negatively affects hematological indices, erythrocyte morphology, nuclear abnormalities, and genotoxicity in the fish. Dietary supplementation of Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) can mitigate the hemotoxic effects induced by GA(3).

Summary: Exposure to copper led to poor sperm quality in Oreochromis niloticus, with reduced motility and other impairments. Additionally, copper induced mitochondrial dysfunction, lipid peroxidation, apoptosis, and DNA fragmentation in germ cells, highlighting the detrimental effects of copper on reproduction in O. niloticus.

Summary: Copper has toxic effects in fish, but Spirulina can protect against metal toxicity in animals. This study found that Spirulina supplementation can mitigate the negative effects of copper sulfate and copper oxide nanoparticles on Nile tilapia, as evidenced by changes in biochemical, hematological, and histopathological endpoints. Exposures to these compounds resulted in disruptions to various physiological parameters, which were alleviated by the addition of Spirulina.

Summary: This study compares the growth performance of two hatchery strains of Oreochromis niloticus and two of O. andersonii in Zambia. The results show that O. niloticus had significantly higher body weight and growth rate compared to O. andersonii. However, both species had high survival rates and good condition factor index values, indicating suitable experimental conditions for their growth.

Summary: This study found that exposure to different sub-lethal concentrations of profenofos caused various blood biomarker changes in Nile tilapia. Glucose and white blood cell levels increased, while hemoglobin, red blood cell, and packed cell volume decreased. The exposure also led to abnormal erythrocytic morphology and cellular abnormalities in the fish.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.

Summary: This study developed a centrifugal microfluidic chip with on-chip RPA to detect five pathogenic microorganisms. The chip enabled the parallel analysis of six genetic markers from a single sample and allowed for the highly automated detection of multiple samples. Compared with PCR and DNA sequencing, the on-chip RPA assay showed high sensitivity and specificity for detecting multiple pathogens in shrimp aquaculture.
