Bile acid improves growth, lipid utilization and antioxidative status of genetically improved farmed tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed with varying protein-lipid diets reared in inland saline water

Effects of Dietary Supplementation with Chitosan on the Muscle Composition, Digestion, Lipid Metabolism, and Stress Resistance of Juvenile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Exposed to Cadmium-Induced Stress

“…The results of various studies have demonstrated that low-molecular-weight chitosan has the capacity to adsorb cadmium in aquaculture water, thereby alleviating its toxic impact on aquatic organisms [10]. At the same time, the utilization of chitosan as a novel adsorbent demonstrates its exceptional affinity toward lead and copper ions in aqueous solutions, thereby showcasing remarkable adsorption capacity [11,12]. Additionally, chitosan exhibits the ability to adsorb cadmium ions in aqueous environments and acts as a natural marine prebiotic for enhancing the immune response and disease resistance of aquatic organisms, suppressing the proliferation of harmful microorganisms and accelerating wound healing.…”

“…Additionally, chitosan exhibits the ability to adsorb cadmium ions in aqueous environments and acts as a natural marine prebiotic for enhancing the immune response and disease resistance of aquatic organisms, suppressing the proliferation of harmful microorganisms and accelerating wound healing. Its biodegradability and unique molecular structure are widely recognized within the aquaculture industry [10,11]. However, the long-term inclusion of chitosan in animal feed has been observed to induce weight reduction in fish.…”
