Summary: This study investigated the effects of poultry by-product meal (PBPM) as a substitute for fish meal (FM) on the growth, muscle composition, and tissue biochemical parameters of coho salmon. The results showed that high levels of PBPM negatively affected the growth performance, feed utilization, muscle composition, and liver antioxidant enzyme activities of coho salmon. Based on the evaluation of the specific growth rate, the optimal substitution level of PBPM was determined to be 16.63-17.50% of FM protein.

Summary: The study found that replacing fish meal protein with a mixture of 60% poultry by-product meal and 40% fermented soybean meal can substitute up to 60% of the feed protein without adverse effects on the growth performance of Asian seabass. The different replacements of fish meal protein had varying effects on the weight gain percentage and specific growth rate of the seabass.

Summary: Aquaculture, an important source of nutrition, may be contaminated by anthropogenic particles present in commercially-sourced feedstocks such as fishmeal and soybean meal. The study found that both fishmeal and soybean meals contained anthropogenic particles, which could lead to farmed fish being exposed to significant amounts of microplastics and fibers.

Summary: Replacing dietary fishmeal with soybean meal and taurine supplementation had no significant effects on feed intake, growth, feed utilization, body composition, and waste output of largemouth bass. Lower weight gain was observed only in fish fed with the highest level of soybean meal, suggesting that fishmeal level can be reduced with taurine addition.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of replacing animal protein supplements with various soy protein supplements in pig feed on intestinal health and growth performance. The results showed that soy protein concentrate, enzyme-treated soybean meal, and fermented soybean meal with Bacillus can reduce the use of animal protein supplements without affecting the pig's intestinal health and growth performance. However, fermented soybean meal with Lactobacillus increased immune reactions and oxidative stress in the intestine, leading to reduced growth performance.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of enhancing the dietary substitution of fishmeal with corn protein concentrate in the diets of red hybrid tilapia. The results showed that high levels of corn protein concentrate significantly reduced fish growth and feed intake, but blending it with soy protein concentrate restored the growth performance of tilapia.

Summary: Poultry by-products and Hermetia illucens prepupae meal are potential alternative protein sources for rainbow trout aquafeeds, with no detrimental impact on growth and health. However, they may lead to decreased fatty acid quality. Different diets had varying effects on rainbow trout's physical traits and oxidative status, with consumers showing similar liking for all dietary groups. Combining PBM and HM in diets showed promising results for aquafeed formulation. Improving the n-3/n-6 ratio remains a priority when using innovative ingredients.

Summary: This study evaluated the degradation of transgenic DNA during the preparation of soybean protein concentrate (SPC) from GM soybean event GTS 40-3-2. The results showed that defatting and the first ethanol extraction were key procedures leading to DNA degradation. The copy numbers of specific DNA targets decreased significantly after these procedures, and the atomic force microscopy images confirmed the thinning and shortening of DNA during SPC preparation. Circular dichroism spectra revealed changes in DNA helicity and conformation transition, and the fluorescence intensity of DNA decreased, indicating DNA damage during the SPC preparation.

Summary: The study found that including 15% fishmeal protein in the diet is sufficient for the growth of largemouth bass, but may impact their intestinal, skin, eye, and liver health. Adjusting the levels of methionine and taurine in the diet, as well as reducing possible antinutritional factors in fishmeal replacements like soybean meal, could help prevent black skin syndrome.

Summary: The present study investigates the response of cobia, a marine fish species, to stressors by measuring the phosphorylation of eIF2 alpha, a translational initiation factor. The study found that the phosphorylation state of eIF2 alpha in cobia is affected by factors such as diet, water temperature, and cellular nutrient deficiency. Additionally, the study suggests that evaluating eIF2 alpha phosphorylation could serve as an early marker for assessing diet, environmental stressors, and disease in cobia, which is particularly important for optimizing the rearing conditions of cobia larvae and juveniles.

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.
