Skin pigmentation pattern is a species-specific characteristic that depends on the number
and the spatial combination of several types of chromatophores. This feature can change …

Tanks offer significant flexibility for aquaculture production. When in an optimally operated
water reuse configuration, they enable farming of most, if not all species of fish, in …

Feed expense constitutes the bulk of the whole cost of production in any intensive
aquaculture setup in Nigeria. Consequently, feed and feeding stratagems are of paramount …

Cannibalism is a common phenomenon that occurs in over 30 fish families. Most of the
species are valuable objects of aquaculture and cannibalism is highly undesirable …

Use of microalgae in fish nutrition can relieve pressure on wild fish stocks, but there is no
systematic quantitative evaluation of microalgae benefits. We conducted a metanalysis on …

Pigmentation is an important factor for the survival of organisms in different environments; in
fish, it plays a key role in social communication and shoal formation. Pigmentation mediates …

Being one of the main environmental factors, the light factor influences many aspects of
animal life. Photoperiod, light intensity (illumination) and wavelength are the primary …

In this trial, the interaction between two different light resource and different levels of two
pigments was investigated in order to determine their effects on growth and reproductive …

A study was carried out to investigate the effects of background colour on the growth
performance, skin colour, haematology, physiological condition and non‐specific immune …

Nile tilapia fish were individually reared under similar light levels for 8 weeks under five
colored light spectra (maximum wavelength absorbance): white (full light spectrum), blue (∼ …
