It was previously observed that dietary inclusion of 10 % Gelidium corneum by-product and sunflower cake mixture (1:1 ratio; Gmix), replacing corn gluten meal, reduced feed utilization efficiency in European sea bass juveniles, while the same mixture fermented with Aspergillus ibericus restored feed efficiency as well as nitrogen and energy utilization, achieving levels comparable to the control diet. The prese...
The effects of dietary short chain fructooligosaccharides (scFOS) incorporation on hematology, fish immune status, gut microbiota composition, digestive enzymes activities, and gut morphology, was evaluated in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) juveniles reared at 18 °C and 25 °C. For that purpose, fish with 32 g were fed diets including 0, 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5% scFOS during 8 weeks. Overall, scFOS had only minor ...
