The application of β-1, 3/1, 6-glucan derived from yeast at five concentrations (0%, 0.5%,
1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%) in formulated diets was evaluated in juveniles for its effects on the …

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary fructooligosaccharides (FOS)
on the growth, survival rate, digestive enzyms activity, and the expression of intestinal barrier …

The effect of adding inulin to balanced diets for tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) larvae on
growth, survival, digestive enzyme activity, and antioxidant activity was evaluated. The diets …

Five experimental diets with different carbohydrates/lipid ratio (CHO: L, 0.75, 1.28, 2.10,
2.52, 4.63) were formulated. Fish were randomly assigned by triplicate (10 fish per tank …

The proportion of fats or oils in natural or artificial feed is generally 6%–30%, since this is
essential to cover fish's energetic and structural requirements. Therefore, studies of the …

Tropical gar, Atractosteus tropicus, is a carnivorous fish species from Southern México with
high value and acceptance in local markets. Therefore, the present study aims to spare …

Supplementary fructooligosaccharides (FOS) were evaluated on growth, survival, gut
morphology, digestive enzyme activity and expression of intestinal barrier genes in tropical …

In ectotherm species, environmental temperature plays a key role in development, growth,
and survival. Thus, determining how temperature affects fish populations is of utmost …

We performed transcriptomic profiling from seven larval stages of tropical gar (Atractosteus
