The main goal of this work was to determine the effect of dietary live yeast Debaryomyces hansenii on the enzymatic antioxidative status of sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax larvae. Growth, activity and… (More)
Several samples of P. splendida larvae were obtained from eggs until day 60 after hatching (dah) to determine acid and alkaline proteases, trypsin, chymotrypsin, leucine aminopeptidase, α-amylase,… (More)
Common snook (Centropomus undecimalis) is one of the most important marine species under commercial exploitation in the Gulf of Mexico; for this reason, interest in developing its culture is a… (More)
It is widely known that β-glucans and probiotic bacteria are good immunostimulants for fish. In the present work we have evaluated the dietary effect of β-1,3/1,6-glucan (isolated from Laminarina… (More)
Aquaculture in Mexico has been developed by the cultivation of commercial species. In Tabasco, the cultivation of native species is mainly limited by the lack of nutrition studies to support its crop… (More)
The characterisation of digestive proteases in native freshwater fish such as the Mayan cichlid Cichlasoma urophthalmus provides scientific elements that may be used to design balanced feed that… (More)
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), “aquaculture, probably the fastest growing food-producing sector, now accounts for nearly 50 percent of the world's food fish” [1].… (More)
The leopard grouper is an endemic species of the Mexican Pacific with an important commercial fishery and good aquaculture potential. In order to assess the digestive capacity of this species during… (More)
