This brief review focuses on health and biological function as cornerstones of fish welfare.
From the function-based point of view, good welfare is reflected in the ability of the animal to …

Diseases in fish are serious problems for the development of aquaculture. The outbreak of
fish disease is largely dependent on environmental and endogenous factors resulting in …

This study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation with free-or nano-curcumin on
the growth performance, immune status and heat stress resistance of Nile tilapia …

Most sources of stress in aquaculture, fish salvage, stocking programs, and commercial and
sport fisheries may be unavoidable. Collecting, handling, sorting, holding, and transporting …

The study investigates the effect of dietary lipids on growth of meagre (Argyrosomus regius)
juveniles. Triplicate groups of fish (average weight±SD, 229.7±1.4 g) were fed for 110days …

The present study investigated the immunomodulatory activity of Ergosan, an algal extract
containing alginic acid, and Macrogard, a yeast extract containing β-glucans, on innate and …

In aquaculture, fish are exposed to many stressors, such as climate changes and infectious
diseases that affect their performance, immunity, and welfare. Freshwater fish subjected to …

Physiological responses after an acute handling stress and their subsequent effects on
innate immune parameters, plasma free amino acids (AA) and liver energy substrates were …

High stocking density is an aquaculture-related situation which causes crowding stress in
fish and potentially affecting the immune system. Protection against disease can be induced …

This study aimed to assess the effects of diets containing a blend of plant protein sources
(cottonseed meal, sunflower meal, and jojoba meal) fermented with yeast (Saccharomyces …
