Utilization of dietary carbohydrate by fish
TLDR
Recent studies have shown that insulin levels in fish are similar to or often higher than those observed in mammals, thus indicating that fish are not diabetic as previously thought.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Glucose metabolism in fish: a review
TL;DR: The aim is to up-date carbohydrate metabolism in fish, placing it to the context of these new experimental tools and its relationship to dietary intake and it is suggested that new research directions ultimately will lead to a better understanding of these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbohydrates in fish nutrition: digestion and absorption in postlarval stages
TL;DR: This review summarizes information regarding digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in cultivated fish and reports results of studies of digestive enzymes, e.g. amylase, chitinase, cellulase and brush border disaccharidases, which appear to be molecularly closely related and to have characteristics comparable to mammalian amylases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucose intolerance in teleost fish: fact or fiction?
TL;DR: By altering peripheral glucose utilization fish could become more glucose tolerant, costs to the aquaculture industry may be substantially reduced, and future experimental directions are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrition and health of aquaculture fish.
TL;DR: It is becoming evident that diets overfortified with specific nutrients at levels above requirement may improve health condition and disease resistance in fish, and functional constituents other than essential nutrients are also currently being considered in fish nutrition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional regulation of hepatic glucose metabolism in fish
TL;DR: Overall, data strongly suggest that the liver of most fish species is apparently capable of regulating glucose storage, and the persistent high level of endogenous glucose production independent of carbohydrate intake level may lead to a putative competition between exogenous glucose and endogenous glucose as the source of energy.

The Response of Rainbow Trout to Varying Protein/Energy Ratios in a Test Diet

Journal ArticleDOI
Optimum dietary protein to energy ratio for channel catfish fingerlings, Ictalurus punctatus.
TL;DR: The data indicate that the concept of P/E ratios must be restricted to diets containing adequate levels of protein and total energy, as well as more efficiently in terms of percent protein deposited than diets containing higher crude protein levels.

Response of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) to increased levels of available carbohydrate in practical trout diets.
J. W. Hilton,James L. Atkinson +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that rainbow trout have a limited ability to adapt to increased dietary carbohydrate and a level in excess of 140 g/kg of the diet is not efficiently utilized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of dietary carbohydrate and fibre on the tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (Linn.)
TL;DR: Growth improved as the level of glucose, sucrose, dextrin and starch was increased from 0% to 40%, growth, food conversion efficiency (FCE), NPR, carcass fat and condition factor were reduced and the use of a-cellulose as an inert bulker in experimental diets for fish is discussed.
