Summary: The first feeding of Brazilian sardine larvae shows better results when microalgae and zooplankton are offered together. Testing different diets for larvae, it was found that microalgae and rotifer alone had low survival rates, but when offered together, they promoted higher survival. Furthermore, a diet of microalgae plus zooplankton significantly increased larvae growth and digestive enzyme activities.

Summary: Freshwater fish like white sturgeon are highly affected by anthropogenic global warming. This study found that white sturgeon showed higher thermal tolerance and increased expression of heat shock proteins (Hsps) at slower heating rates. The results suggest that white sturgeon have a strong ability to acclimate to slowly increasing temperatures.

Summary: The study introduces a SIP approach that significantly reduces cross-feeding in complex microbial communities by continuously exposing microbial cells to isotopically labeled substrate on a membrane filter. This approach removes metabolites and degradation products constantly, preventing the consumption of secondary substrates, thus allowing for the distinction between primary consumers and other members of microbial food webs.

Summary: Cognitive heterogeneity increases with age, making it difficult to identify sex differences. Comparisons of men and women on neuropsychological test performances showed no significant differences when matched by aging rates. However, women maintained their advantage in verbal learning and memory regardless of their aging rates, education, or depressive symptoms.

Summary: The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of partial soybean meal replacement with L. albus seeds and enzyme addition in the laying quail diets on productive performance, digestion, blood biochemical indices, and egg quality. The results showed that using enzymes could increase the proportion of lupine in the diet without affecting egg production, egg weight, feed conversion rate, and physical-chemical quality parameters of the eggs. Furthermore, the use of lupine improved the carotenoid content and quality of the egg yolk fats, in favor of omega-3 fatty acids.

Summary: Increased white blood cell (WBC) count is associated with lower fetal fraction (FF) and higher test failure rates in noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS). This study found that WBC count negatively correlated with FF and positively correlated with BMI, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), IVF conceptions, and gestational age. High WBC count significantly increased the risk of test failure. These findings highlight the importance of considering WBC count in genetic counseling for pregnant women.

Summary: The experiment investigated the relationship between RNA/DNA ratio (RDR) and growth rate in pearl oyster postlarvae, finding significant effects of RDR influenced by different factors with algal concentration being the most important factor. RDR showed high positive correlation with specific growth rate (SGR) and absolute growth rate (AGR), and regression equations were established for assessing growth rates based on RDR. The models developed have advantages over conventional means of evaluating somatic growth and can reliably assess recent growth of pearl oyster postlarvae under varying conditions.

Summary: An 8-week feeding trial was conducted on juvenile olive flounder to assess the effectiveness of four functional feed additives in replacing antibiotics in a low-fish-meal diet. The results showed that the diets containing GRO, GROMW, GROPT, and GROTW significantly improved weight gain, growth rate, and protein efficiency ratio compared to the control diet. Furthermore, these diets also had positive effects on enzyme activities, gene expressions, and intestinal histology. Overall, the study suggests that GRO, GROMW, GROPT, and GROTW diets can be beneficial alternatives to antibiotics in juvenile olive flounder fed low-fish-meal diets.

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.
