Reducing digestible protein in pond production of hybrid striped bass
A significant reduction is possible in the digestible protein level in commercial diets for hybrid striped bass using ideal protein diet formulation, a robust set of ingredient nutrient availabilities, and a higher level (45 percent) of muscle profile as the formulation target.
Evaluating commercial, dietary pre-, pro- and synbiotics in hybrid catfish
This study evaluated a commercially available prebiotics and probiotics under conditions simulating commercial production in hybrid catfish. Results showed that the various dietary treatments did not have any significant effects on processing characteristics or composition.
Research delves into enrichment of live feed for larval fish
A two-year grant of $276,000 seeks to improve the nutrition of live feed for, and therefore the production of, larval California yellowtail and halibut, with the hopes that the technology will be applicable to other species.
Fish oil alternatives are waiting in the wings
