Chromium Supplementation in Diet Enhances Growth and Feed Utilization of Striped Catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus)

Multi‐species probiotics enhance growth of Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) through upgrading gut, liver and muscle health

“…Some studies revealed that the population level of intestinal Gram‐negative bacteria was impacted by the considerable rise in intestinal LAB caused by dietary probiotics (Allameh et al, 2016). The striped catfish ( Pangasianodon hypophthalmus ) were fed with L. acidophilus supplemented feed showed significantly greater total LAB counts in their gut (Akter, Jahan, et al, 2021; Akter, Zahan, et al, 2021). These findings indicate that the LAB may pass through the stomach, tolerate bile salt in the gut, and affect Gram‐negative bacteria in the intestine (Allameh et al, 2016).…”

“…Although the sector has achieved remarkable improvement, in recent times, the income of this field is declining because of huge feed costs that typically account for over 70% of total production expenses (Hossain, Ali, et al, 2020; Hossain, Rahman, et al, 2020; Nguyen et al, 2020). Moreover, the optimization of feed quality and its efficiency to provide adequate nutrition and growth are essential for profitable aquaculture operations (Akter, Jahan, et al, 2021; Akter, Zahan, et al, 2021; Singha et al, 2021; Uddin et al, 2007). The use of probiotics may be an ideal approach for better feed utilization and growth enhancement in fish reducing the feed cost (Allameh et al, 2017).…”

Multi-species probiotics improve growth, intestinal microbiota and morphology of Indian major carp mrigal Cirrhinus cirrhosus

“…Over the few decades, the world population has been increasing sharply, and the world is facing great food security challenges. To meet the world's growing food demand, much effort has been taken into improving aquaculture through both technical and practical approaches ( Akter et al, 2021 , Teodósio et al, 2020 ). However, high price and low-quality of feeds, outbreaks of infectious diseases, extensive usage of available chemotherapies, and weakened immune system are the major obstacles for the consistent expansion of aquaculture ( Austin and Austin, 2016 , Hossain et al, 2020a , Hossain et al, 2020b , Senapin et al, 2018 , Uddin et al, 2007 ).…”

Impacts of heavy metals on early development, growth and reproduction of fish – A review

“…On the other hand, essential metals (Cr, Zn, Ni, Cu, Co, Fe) have established biological functions and toxicities occur in response to either their deficiencies or excessive concentrations. Essential metals positively improved the growth and feed utilization of several species [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] but when maximum allowable/tolerable limit these metals are exceeded, they hamper the normal physiological and ecological systems in the aquatic environment [16] , [17] , causing toxicity within the organisms and ultimately causing a substantial threat to human health [1] , [8] . Most of these heavy metals are highly carcinogenic in nature and in addition they can cause serious health complexities like liver disorders, cardiovascular difficulties, kidney dysfunctions and in extreme cases death.…”
