A 56-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplemented diets with β-glucan (BG) at four levels [0 (D1), 250 (D2), 500 (D3) and 1000 (D4) mg BG kg−1] on red sea bream, Pagrus major. The obtained results revealed a significant increase (P < 0.05) in final body weight, weight gain...

A 56-day feeding trial was done to investigate the interactive effects of astaxanthin (Ax) and vitamin E (α-Toc) on the performance of kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicus). A 2 × 3 factorial experiment was conducted with six experimental diets containing two levels of Ax (0 and 0.6 g/kg diet [Ax0 ...

This study evaluated the effects of chemically synthesized astaxanthin (Ax) on growth performance, survival, stress resistance, immune responses, fatty acid contents, and pigmentation of juvenile kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicus). Six dietary levels of Ax (0, 200, 400, 800, 1200, and 1600 mg kg...

A 56- day feeding trial was carried out to determine effects of purified nucleotide mixture for red sea bream (Pagrus major). Five dietary level of purified nucleotide mixture containing equal portion of inosine 5′ monophosphate (IMP), adenosine 5′ monophosphate (AMP), guanosine 5′ monophosphate (GM...

We determined the dietary inosine effects in gradually replaced fishmeal (FM) with soybean meal (SBM) protein-based diets on growth, digestibility, immunity, stress resistance and gut morphology of juvenile amberjack. Seven experimental diets were formulated to be nearly isonitrogenous (48% crude pr...

Inosine and inosine monophosphate (IMP) are the most extensively studied specific nucleotide for feeding stimulation research rather than using as functional nutrients for potential growth and health benefit of aquatic species. Therefore, a 10-week feeding trial was conducted to determine comparativ...

A feeding trial was conducted to determine the efficacy of nucleotide related products on growth, blood chemistry, oxidative stress and growth factor gene expression of juvenile red sea bream. Five experimental diets were formulated to contain 49% protein, 11% lipid and the diet without nucleotide r...

Our study explored the dietary effects of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to enhance growth, digestibility, innate immune responses and stress resistance of juvenile red sea bream. A semi-purified basal diet supplemented with 0% (Control), 0.1% (AMP-0.1), 0.2% (AMP-0.2), 0.4% (AMP-0.4) and 0.8% (AMP-0...

A 50-day feeding trial was conducted to determine the effects of dietary inosine on growth performance, immune responses, oxidative stress and gut morphology of juvenile amberjack, Seriola dumerili. Five isonitrogenous (52% crude protein) and isolipidic (14% crude lipid) semi-purified test diets wer...

We assessed the effects of fishmeal (FM) replacement by soy protein concentrate (SPC) with inosine monophosphate (IMP) supplementation on growth, digestibility, immunity, blood health, and stress resistance of red sea bream, Pagrus major. FM protein of a FM-based control diet (FM100) was replaced wi...

A 56-day feeding trial was carried out to evaluate the interactive effects of chemically synthesized astaxanthin (Ax) and cholesterol (CHO) on the performances of kuruma shrimp juveniles. Six experimental diets containing 2 levels of Ax (0 and 0.6 g/kg diet) and 3 levels of CHO (0, 6 and 20 g/kg die...

Both inosine (INO) and vitamin C (l‐ascorbic acid, AsA) play important roles in growth performance, feed utilization and health status of fish. Therefore, a 56 days feeding trial was conducted to determine the interactive effects of dietary INO and AsA on growth performance, oxidative status, innate...

The present study explored the dietary administration effects of guanosine monophosphate (GMP) on growth, digestibility, innate immune responses and stress resistance of juvenile red sea bream, Pagrus major. A semi-purified basal diet supplemented with 0% (Control), 0.1% (GMP-0.1), 0.2% (GMP-0.2), 0...

Soy protein concentrate (SPC) rarely replaces fishmeal (FM) completely in marine finfish diets without eliciting adverse effects on fish performances. The inclusion of brown seaweed (Sargassum fulvellum) could alleviate the negative effects linked to high SPC dietary inclusion. In the current study,...
