Feed ration prior to slaughter—a potential tool for managing product quality of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Temporal variation in muscle fibre area, gaping, texture, colour and collagen in triploid and diploid Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L)

“…Though variation in pH was relatively small, the decrease in pH coincided with a softer texture, which is in agreement with previous studies. 52,53 This results points towards an influence of post mortem end pH on the observed differences in texture between diploid and triploid fish. From studies on Atlantic cod a strong negative effect of end pH on gaping has been observed.…”

Dietary leucine improves flesh quality and alters mRNA expressions of Nrf2-mediated antioxidant enzymes in the muscle of grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella )

“…A total of 540 uniform-sized fish (initial average weight of 295.85 ± 2.07 g) were randomly distributed into 18 experimental cages (1.4 × 1.4 × 1.4 m 3 ) at an equal stocking rate of 30 fish per cage. Each cage was equipped with a 100 cm diameter disk of 1-mm gauze in the bottom to collect uneaten feed according to the method described by Einen et al (1999). During the feeding trial, each of the six experimental diets was randomly assigned to cage in triplicate.…”

Differential growth performance, intestinal antioxidant status and relative expression of Nrf2 and its target genes in young grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) fed with graded levels of leucine

“…After an acclimatization period of 2 weeks, 540 uniform-sized fish (initial average weight of 295.85 ± 2.07 g) were randomly distributed into 18 experimental cages (1.4 × 1.4 × 1.4 m) at an equal stocking rate of 30 fish per cage. Each cage was equipped with a 100 cm diameter disc of 1-mm gauze in the bottom to collect uneaten feed according to the method described by Einen et al (1999). Each of six experimental diets was fed to triplicate of fish four times daily for 8 weeks, and uneaten feed was siphoned out 30 min after the feeding according to X.Y.…”
