Ammonia excretion at the gills of fish has been studied for 80 years, but the mechanism (s)
involved remain controversial. The relatively recent discovery of the ammonia-transporting …

The diversity of mechanisms of ammonia and urea excretion by the gills and other epithelia
of aquatic organisms, especially fish and crustaceans, has been studied for decades …

To increase current knowledge on the nutritional value of natural prey organisms, the
biochemical components of mainly three copepods (Acartia grani, Centropages hamatus …

The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is one of the most widely studied of model fish
species. Extensive basic biological information has been collected for this species, which …

The spiny ray-finned teleost fishes (Acanthomorpha) are the most successful group of
vertebrates in terms of species diversity. Their meteoric radiation and speciation in the …

Amino acids are vital for all living organisms. During early fish ontogeny, they are important
fuel molecules, signalling factors and major substrates for the synthesis of a wide range of …

The rearing of most marine fish species still relies on live food. Amino acids (AA) are the
building blocks for protein synthesis, are important energy substrates, and are involved in …

In spite of the growing interest and success obtained using cultured-copepods, their use in
marine aquaculture remains sporadic. Besides, mass culture of several marine copepods …
