AMINO ACID ANALYSIS IN THE SHORE CRAB CARCINUS MAENAS (DECAPODA: BRACHYURA)
(2010)Although amino acid flux models have been developed in fish and other crustaceans, this is the first study to present an amino acid flux model for crabs. This study investigates the influence of different feeds and the ... -
Changes of bacterioplankton apparent species richness in two ornamental fish aquaria
(2013)We analysed the 16S rRNA gene diversity within the bacterioplankton community in the water column of the ornamental fish Pterophyllum scalare and Archocentrus nigrofasciatus aquaria during a 60-day growth experiment in ... -
Collagen Fibrils in Cultured and Wild Sea Bream (Sparus aurata) Liver. An Electron Microscopy and Image Analysis Study
(2011)This study aims to measure liver collagen fibril diameter in cultured and wild sea breams (Sparus aurata). Cultured sea breams were fed three isonitrogenous diets. The organically produced feed contained sustainable certified ... -
THE DETERMINANTS OF CONSUMPTION FOR ORGANIC AQUACULTURE PRODUCTS-EVIDENCE FROM GREECE
(2014)This study investigates Greek consumers' behavior towards organic aquaculture products, identifying possible distinct consumer groups and examining possible linkages between consumer characteristics and marketing aspects ... -
Dietary differences are reflected on the gut prokaryotic community structure of wild and commercially reared sea bream (Sparus aurata)
(2014)We compared the gut prokaryotic communities in wild, organically-, and conventionally reared sea bream (Sparus aurata) individuals. Gut microbial communities were identified using tag pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA genes. ... -
Effect of feed and feeding in the culture of salmonids on the marine aquatic environment: a synthesis for European aquaculture
(2006)While marine aquaculture has grown rapidly, so have concerns regarding the environmental impacts caused by the industry. In particular, increasing discharges of solid and dissolved fish excretions, nutrients and therapeutic ... -
The effect of organic and conventional production methods on sea bream growth, health and body composition: a field experiment
(2012)This study aimed to develop a better understanding of organic sea bream aquaculture production in Greece, in particular its consequences for fish growth, health and body composition, and to propose and update standards for ... -
EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT DIETS ON THE DIGESTIVE PHYSIOLOGY OF ADULT NORWAY LOBSTER NEPHROPS NORVEGICUS
(2014)Rearing Norway lobsters for restocking is a management option to compensate fishing overexploitation, but this requires, among other topics, developing specific pellet diets. The activity of digestive enzymes and the ... -
Generic skills needs for graduate employment in the aquaculture, fisheries and related sectors in Europe
(2015)There is an increasing demand for highly skilled workers in all advanced industrialised economies. Although most jobs require occupation-specific skills to carry them out, it is widely recognised that generic skills are ... -
Gut bacteria associated with different diets in reared Nephrops norvegicus
(2012)The impact of different diets on the gut microbiota of reared Nephrops norvegicus was investigated based on bacterial 16S rRNA gene diversity. Specimens were collected from Pagasitikos Gulf (Greece) and kept in experimental ... -
Impact of Irradiation on Fish and Seafood Shelf Life: A Comprehensive Review of Applications and Irradiation Detection
(2009)Irradiation is one of the most important and effective methods towards food preservation despite the consumer lack of trust and aversion towards this method. Irradiation effectiveness greatly depends on the dose provided ... -
MEASUREMENT OF THE FEED CONSUMPTION OF NEPHROPS NORVEGICUS FEEDING ON DIFFERENT DIETS AND ITS EFFECT ON BODY NUTRIENT COMPOSITION AND DIGESTIVE GLAND HISTOLOGY
(2015)The feed consumption of Nephrops norvegictes (Linnaeus, 1758) reared in captivity and fed either mussel or a pelleted diet was measured for ten weeks. Both groups of lobsters showed a similar feed consumption, which averaged ... -
A novel image processing method to determine the nutritional condition of lobsters
(2013)The digestive gland of crustacean is involved in various metabolic activities, including the synthesis and secretion of digestive enzymes that begin the process of food digestion, intracellular digestion and absorption of ... -
Nutrition in organic aquaculture: an inquiry and a discourse
(2011)Organic aquaculture has lagged behind the agriculture sector in terms of the quantities and diversity of certified organic products because of the absence of detailed accepted standards and criteria until recently. The ... -
The nutritional value of lipids in various tropical aquatic animals from rice-fish farming systems in northeast Thailand
(2010)Knowledge on the lipid compositions of tropical freshwater aquatic animals is limited despite their importance in the human diet and the health-related benefits of fish lipids. This study examines the lipid content and ... -
The presence of microcystins in fish Cyprinus carpio tissues: a histopathological study
(2013)The occurrence of heavy cyanobacterial blooms has become a worldwide problem, as a consequence of eutrophication of the aquatic ecosystems; furthermore, 60% to 75% of these blooms have been found to be toxic. Microcystins ... -
Protein nutrition in crustaceans
(2006)Successful commercial aquaculture of crustacean species is dependent on satisfying their nutritional requirements and on producing rapidly growing and healthy animals. This paper provides an overview of current knowledge ... -
Protein synthesis in crustaceans: a review focused on feeding and nutrition
(2014)This review aimed to place crustacean research on in vivo protein synthesis into a broader context, assess its potential for providing further insights into crustacean nutrition and physiology, and recommend future directions ... -
Protein synthesis in gilthead sea bream: response to partial fishmeal replacement
(2012)The present study aimed to measure tissue protein synthesis in sea bream fed isonitrogenous diets that contained 63, 55 and 50% fishmeal; in the latter two diets, 16 and 27% of the fishmeal protein was replaced with plant ... -
The reproductive cycle of Norway lobster
(2009)The reproductive biology of female Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus was studied throughout an annual cycle from January to December 2007 in Pagasitikos Gulf, a large semi-enclosed Gulf in the central west Aegean Sea, in ...
