Evaluation of wax spray beads for delivery of low-molecular weight, water-soluble nutrients and antibiotics to Artemia

Fish larval nutrition and feed formulation: knowledge gaps and bottlenecks for advances in larval rearing

“…Two methods to deliver water‐soluble nutrients embedded in particles to live feed organisms have been developed; the production of lipid spray beads (LSB; Nordgreen et al. 2007; Langdon et al. 2008; Hawkyard et al.…”

“…The thiamine and iodine concentrations are easily increased just by dissolving the nutrients in the enrichment water. Alternatively they can be delivered by liposomes or lipid spray beads (Langdon et al. 2008; Hawkyard et al.…”

Effects of embryonic exposure to α-lipoic acid or ascorbic acid on hatching rate and development of zebrafish (Danio rerio)

“…The intense use of oxygen by active skeletal muscle greatly enhances its generation of ROS via the mitochondria and the vascular endothelium (Ji 1999;Lawler & Song 2002;Jones 2006). The increase in mortality and malformation of aquatic organisms caused by increased generation of ROS (exogenously or endogenously) during development have been well documented (Dennery 2007;Langdon et al 2008;Cole et al 2009;Ferrari, Lascano, Anguiano, Pechen de D' Angelo & Venturino 2009). The increase in mortality and malformation of aquatic organisms caused by increased generation of ROS (exogenously or endogenously) during development have been well documented (Dennery 2007;Langdon et al 2008;Cole et al 2009;Ferrari, Lascano, Anguiano, Pechen de D' Angelo & Venturino 2009).…”

“…Supplementation of the diets of mature ¢sh with antioxidants, would be useful to reduce ROS damage, although such supplementation has faced challenges in administration and packaging (Kelly, Fernandez, Ikonomou & Knapp 2008;Langdon et al 2008;Nordgreen, Yu¤ fera & Hamre 2008). Contained embryonic incubation in antioxidant-enriched media may help cope with oxidative stress from the earliest stages of development and may prove to be e¡ective and economical.…”

Efficacy of florfenicol in the treatment of bacterial infections in halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus (L.), larvae

“…nauplii and rotifers, Brachionus plicatilis , was investigated (Mohney, Lightner, Williams & Bauerlein 1990; Verpraet, Chair, Léger, Nelis, Sorgeloos & Deleenheer 1992; Touraki, Rigas & Kastritsis 1995; Gapasin et al. 1996; Gomez‐Gil, Cabanillas‐Ramos, Paez‐Brambila & Roque 2001; Cook & Rust 2002; Mejia, Barrera, Figueroa, Castro & Andrade 2007; Langdon, Nordgreen, Hawkyard & Hamre 2008; Roiha, Otterlei & Samuelsen 2010b,c). Furthermore, various studies have shown that uptake of antibacterial agents in fish larvae is feasible using administration via live feed.…”
