1. A Review of Carbohydrate Nutrition and Metabolism in Crustaceans

Author:
Wang, Xiaodan; Li, Erchao; Chen, Liqiao

Subject:
Crustacea; carbohydrate metabolism; carbohydrates; dietary carbohydrate; fish; glucose transporters; hormones; primary energy
Abstract:
... Carbohydrates are the primary energy source in all animal diets and are the least expensive energy source in the diets of aquatic animals. However, the utilization of carbohydrates by aquatic animals is relatively low relative that of terrestrial animals. Compared with those in fish, few studies have examined the nutrition or metabolism of crustacean species. This lack of information is a bottlene ...

Abstract:
... Hypselobarbus kurali , a freshwater ray-finned fish (class Actinopterigii, order Cyprinidae), inhabits large streams and rivers of South Western Ghats of Kerala, India. The present work aims to create a breakthrough in the captive breeding technology of H. kurali and thereby successfully accomplish the goal of restocking resources. While both induced and artificial breeding were performed, the suc ...

Abstract:
... Taurine is “conditionally essential” for some fish species, particularly when fish meal levels in their diets are reduced. Taurine supplementation has not yet been evaluated in the Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides . A 12-week feeding trial was conducted using a 2 × 2 factorial design with the main effects being fish meal inclusion (0% or 30%) or taurine supplementation (0% or 2%). The fish me ...

An 8-week growth trial was conducted to study the effects of different corn starch levels on growth and feed utilization of juvenile hybrid grouper (male Giant Grouper Epinephelus lanceolatus × female Brown-marbled Grouper E. fuscoguttatus). Five isonitrogenous (48% crude protein, dry weight basis) and isolipidic (10% crude lipid, dry weight basis) diets were formulated to contain 0, 7, 14, 21, or ...

Abstract:
... Studies that evaluate the effects of different feeding strategies (e.g., feeding frequency and food type) on larval fish growth and survival are important for aquaculture productivity. We quantified the effects of common feeding strategies on the growth and survival of larval Lake Sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens . At 30 d after initiation of exogenous feeding, the TL and body weight of larvae reared ...

Abstract:
... Tropical ornamental aquaculture is dominated by the production of nonnative species and is an important industry in Florida. However, the escape of nonnative species can pose challenges to the industry and also natural resource managers. Escapement of nonnative species and their potential impacts has led to suggestions that ornamental aquaculture is unregulated and lacks transparency. Comprehensiv ...

Two studies conducted in nine 0.25-acre ponds quantified production characteristics of stocker Channel Catfish stocked for low-intensity food-fish production in single- or multiple-batch culture. In the multiple-batch ...

Abstract:
... Since 2012, a multi-agency initiative to restore these native forage species has been under way. Evaluating the restoration success of Cisco Coregonus artedi and Bloater C. hoyi in Lake Ontario waters requires methods to identify stocked fish. However, juvenile Cisco and Bloater are fragile; thus, mass marking techniques that reduce the handling of individual fish are required and have not previou ...
