Microorganisms as a sustainable aquafeed ingredient: A review

Abstract

Aquaculture is considered one of the world's fastest-growing food production industries. It provides one of the most environmentally friendly sources of edible protein.The rapid expansion of aquaculture has occurred in response to a huge increase in world population and the corresponding demand for food, highlighting a path towards intensive sustainable products and resource efficiency. Improved process efficiency has fuelled aquaculture expansion, which involves addressing operational performance, particularly on nutrition and health of farmed fish, as well as a trend towards reaching natural or organic certification. Although there is ample evidence to support the use of microorganisms, including algae, bacteria, fungi, archaea, protozoa and viruses, their use in aquaculture nutrition is still limited in natural medicine development and therapies. Notably, various applications of microorganisms feed have a significant impact on aquatic animal health and husbandry. However, there is a need to discuss various roles of microorganisms used in aquaculture feed extensively. This review discusses the potential of microorganisms and their role as value added aquaculture feed, which could offer aquaculture and feed producers considerable benefits.

The Review of Cooking, Drying, and Green Extraction Methods on General Nutritional Properties of Mealworms and Locusts

“…Although they are rich in nutritional composition with excellent growth abilities, their ferocious appetite for organic wastes such as manure renders them too risky for human consumption (Rumbos et al, 2019 ; Wang & Shelomi, 2017 ). With a proper combination with other ingredients, these insects are excellent alternatives to conventional animal feed (Wan-Mohtar et al, 2022 ).…”

ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY: DIFFERENT MECHANISTIC ELUCIDATION OF ANTIBACTERIAL, ANTIVIRAL, ANTIFUNGAL & ANTIALGAE AGENTS

“…Basically, the term microbe includes majorly of four types: bacteria, virus, fungi and algae. 1 Most of the microbes challenge modern medical sciences through creating several diseases. 2 General usage of conversional antibiotics is very common to resist their growth.…”

Enhancement of protein, lipid and fatty acids in copepod, Oithona rigida for the improvement of growth, development and survival of early‐stage mud crab larvae ( Scylla olivacea )

“…Therefore, one of the most important feeding strategy components for crustacean larvae that hatch with little or no reserve of the yolk is to have prey of an acceptable size (Wan‐Mohtar et al, 2022). Thus, in this study, we are focusing on evaluating the use of microalgae and waste to wealth substances as an enrichment medium for copepod, Oithona rigida .…”
