In commercialization and high stocking density of culture practice, the feeding has the significant contribution for fast growth and high yields. The aquafeed is potentiated with many ingredients in highly balanced nutritious components for enhancing the digestive mechanisms in fish and shrimp body. It leads the better body weights, high health, optimum immunity, more survivals, less incidence of disease etc in aquaculture ponds. Spirulina is a unique high...

Introduction The fish nutrition has advanced with the expansion of aquaculture in order to achieve better performance rates. Thus, diets should provide all the nutrients and energy as a way to optimize the fish development. Among the nutrients, the fatty acids are essential for growth and survival, as well one of the most important sources of energy. The fatty acids of the omega 3 family are not produced by the fish, requiring supplementation in...

I. INTRODUCTION Omega-3 PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids) are commonly known for their health benefits to the consumer. This family of essential fatty acids provides a host of health benefits. There are three types of fatty acids in the omega-3 family: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Each of these omega-3 fatty acids is considered essential; however, not all...

INTRODUCTION Diatoms play a major component and dominant life form of the phytoplankton community. Diatoms are made up of complex silica cell wall and microscopically single-celled autotrophic eukaryotic algae belonging to the class Bacillariophyceae and kingdom Protista 1 . The tiny algae diatom range from 2 and 500µm in length or diameter and their habitation vary from ocean to freshwater systems exhibiting seasonal variations during monsoon...

Introduction Silver has been known for antibacterial activity since ancient times. The importance of silver has regained due to the increase of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, caused by their overuse. Silver nano particles and silver based compounds containing ionic silver (Ag + ) or metallic silver (Ag 0 ) which possess antimicrobial activity are of great importance in the field of medicine. Silver nano particles are attractive as these are non -toxic to...

Introduction Silver has long been known to exhibit a strong toxic activity towards a wide range of microorganisms, for this reason silver based compounds have been extensively used in many bactericidal applications. Nano particles due to their large surface area are highly reactive and Ag Nano particles have been tested in various fields of biological sciences, Viz drug delivery, wound treatment, binding with HIV gp120 protein , in water treatment and as antibacterial compound...

I'm planning to buy Chaeto algae and pods today. However, they will stay in my car for a good 6 hours until i get off work and bring them home. Will they survive with ease? The weather is about 10 degree celsius, with little sun. It's my first time with Chaeto and Pods. I just set up my refugium/sump 2 days ago, and i have a 50 gallon FOWLR. Planning to harvest Pods with the intention to get a Mandarin in a year. Currently have 4 little clowns, 1 watchman goby, 1 royal gramma and 1 blue...

INTRODUCTION Algae are simple photosynthetic eukaryotes which owing to their colonization of the oceans are responsible for up to 50% of the planet’s atmospheric carbon fixation (1), secondary and primary metabolites produced by these algae may be good potential bioactive compounds of interest in pharmaceutical industry (2). Many bioactive and pharmacologically active substances have been isolated from algae. Diabetes is...

Fishmeal is very extensively used in feeds for fish as well as other animals. A recent global survey estimated aquaculture consumption of fishmeal at 3724 thousand tonnes in 2006 (Tacon and Metian 2008). Now it is becoming increasingly evident that such continued exploitation of this natural resource will ultimately become both environmentally and economically unsustainable. Any satisfactory alternative feed ingredients must be...

INTRODUCTION Free radicals are responsible for aging and causative agents of various human diseases. Antioxidant compounds play an important role in various fields such as medical field (to treat cancers, cardiovascular disorders, and chronic inflammations), cosmetics (anti-aging process) and food industries (food preservative) [1]. Seaweeds contain reactive antioxidant molecules, such as ascorbate and glutathione (GSH) when fresh, as well as secondary metabolites including...

In aquaculture, producers commonly rely on formulated feeds to ensure optimal growth, health and quality of the farmed animal. Fish meal and fish oil from wild fisheries have traditionally been major constituents of aqua-feeds as they are excellent raw materials from a nutritional point of view, but their supply is finite. Therefore feed ingredients other than fish meal are selected for their nutritive value, balance of amino acids, digestibility of proteins,...

At the University of New Brunswick in Canada, researchers have developed a pilot-scale aquaponics system to select plants that are best adapted to efficiently recapture nutrients from salmon hatchery effluents. Along the way they’ve developed a novel substrate on which to grow the plants. In many aquaponic systems, it is common to use a substrate such as foam, coconut coir, rock-wool or expanded clay for seedling production and plant support. However, these substrates are often...

Food allergies are a major global health issue that can be life threatening. A 2014 study by researchers at Mount Sinai Hospital estimated that the condition affects about 8 percent of children and 5 percent of adults worldwide. In people who are allergic, certain compounds in food trigger a cascade of immune system reactions that lead to symptoms such as hives, wheezing and dizziness — and in the worst cases, anaphylactic shock....
