Improving feed efficiency in fish using selective breeding: A review
(2017)Type: Journal ArticleImproving feed efficiency (FE) is key to reducing production costs in aquaculture and to achieving sustainability for the aquaculture industry. Feed costs account for 30-70% of total production costs in aquaculture; much ... -
An investigation of links between metabolic rate and feed efficiency in European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax
(2021)Type: Journal ArticleFeed efficiency (FE) is the amount of body weight gain for a given feed intake. Improving FE through selective breeding is key for sustainable finfish aquaculture but its evaluation at individual level is technically ... -
Population, temperature and feeding rate effects on individual feed efficiency in European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
(2020)Type: Journal ArticleUsing breeding programs to improve feed efficiency, the ratio between fish body weight gain (BWG) and feed intake (FI), could increase aquaculture sustainability through reduced feed costs and environmental impact. To this ... -
Variations in isotope incorporation rates and trophic discrimination factors of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in scales from three European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) populations
(2020)Type: Journal ArticleCarbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope analyses are used in marine ecology to study trophic relationships and migrations of species since they reflect dietary sources consumed which may vary geographically. ...
