Effects of spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) as a fishmeal replacer in practical diets on growth performance, proximate composition, and amino acids profile of pabda catfish (Ompok pabda)

Taslima Akter et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of substituting SP protein for FM protein on the growth, carcass composition, and amino acids profile of pabda catfish. The results showed that replacing FM protein with 15% SP protein resulted in the best performance and improved muscle quality.

Dietary carbohydrate-to-protein ratio influences growth performance, hepatic health and dynamic of gut microbiota in atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Alejandro Villasante et al.

Summary: Atlantic salmon fed a carbohydrate-rich diet showed suboptimal growth performance and metabolic disturbances. The study aimed to investigate the effects of graded levels of digestible carbohydrates on the distal intestine digesta microbiota in Atlantic salmon. The results demonstrated that feeding a high digestible carbohydrate diet led to negative effects on growth parameters and liver health, including increased lipid vacuolization and expression of fatty acid synthase. The composition of distal intestine digesta microbiota also changed with the carbohydrate-rich diet. Furthermore, certain lactic acid bacteria were found to be negatively correlated with hepatic steatosis and other liver health indicators. The potential use of lactic acid bacteria as probiotics to improve liver health in carnivorous fish fed a fatty liver-induced diet deserves further investigation.

Bioactive Compounds of Arthrospira spp. (Spirulina) with Potential Anticancer Activities: A Systematic Review

Maria Rafaele O. B. da Silva et al.

Summary: The compounds from Arthrospira spp. inhibit tumor cell proliferation by different signaling pathways, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction. They also exhibit antioxidant, antiangiogenic, and antimetastatic activities. Phycocyanin shows better efficacy against various types of cancer through different mechanisms and synergistic effects with established cancer treatment drugs.

Earthworm meal (Perionyx excavatus) as an alternative protein source to fish meal in feed for juvenile butter catfish (Ompok pabda)

Prasun Chakraborty et al.

Summary: The experiment showed that replacing fish meal protein with earthworm meal protein can improve the growth performance and feed utilization of butter catfish, with the best results observed when 75% of the fish meal protein was replaced by earthworm meal protein.
