Journal ArticleDOI

Application of microbial phytase in fish feed

TL;DR: Comparing properties of phytase from different sources are focused on, examining the effects of Phytase on P utilization and aquatic environment pollution, meanwhile providing commercial potentiality and impact factors ofphytase utilization in fish feed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of microplastics on sessile invertebrates in the eastern coast of Thailand: An approach to coastal zone conservation.

TL;DR: The results showed a significant accumulation of microplastics in the invertebrates at rates of 0.2-0.6 counts/g indicating higher pollution levels along the coastline, and the need for controlling plastic pollution in Thai coastal areas is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of pretreatment with microbial phytase on phosphorous utilization and growth performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

TL;DR: The results showed that diets pretreated with phytase gave better growth performance, feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio of Nile tilapia compared with thephytase control diet and pretreatment control diet (P 0.05).
Journal ArticleDOI

GIS for land evaluation for shrimp farming in Haiphong of Vietnam

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to identify appropriate sites for shrimp farming development in Haiphong province of Vietnam using geographical information systems (GIS) using thirteen base layers (thematic maps) were grouped into four main land use requisites for aquaculture, namely, potential for pond construction, soil quality, infrastructure and socio-economic status (population density, distance to roads, local markets, and hatcheries).
Journal ArticleDOI

Replacement of Dietary Fish Oils by Alpha-Linolenic Acid-Rich Oils Lowers Omega 3 Content in Tilapia Flesh

TL;DR: The study suggests that tilapia (O. niloticus) has a limited capacity to synthesise 20:5 n-3 and 22:6n-3 from dietary 18:3n- 3, and the replacement of FO in the diet of farmed tilapio with vegetable oils could therefore lower tissue concentrations of 20: 5n-4 and 21:6 n-4, and consequently produce an aquaculture product of lower lipid nutritional value for the consumer.
