Fish diet supplemented with Yemeni Zeolite improves growth performance and reduces lead toxicity in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
The applications of natural products in aquaculture to improve fish production and modulate toxic undesired effects of heavy metals represent a global environmental demand. In this study, fish diets supplemented with natural ...
Efficacy and safety of boric acid as a preventive treatment against Saprolegnia infection in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Saprolegniosis is a worldwide fungal-like infection affecting freshwater fishes and their eggs. Reports show high mortalities and subsequent economic losses annually from Saprolegnia infections. Most therapeutants against ...

Type: Journal Article
Leek (Allium ampeloprasum) is one of the most commonly used herbal foods all over the world. This study was conducted to evaluate the protective effect of leek extract on catfish experimentally challenged with Aeromonas ...
Systems-thinking approach to identify and assess feasibility of potential interventions to reduce antibiotic use in tilapia farming in Egypt
Type: Journal Article
Antibiotics are used in aquaculture to maintain the health and welfare of stocks; however, the emergence and selection of antibiotic resistance in bacteria poses threats to humans, animals and the environment. Mitigation ...
Colorimetric assay for the in vitro evaluation of Saprolegniabiofilm inhibitors
Type: Journal Article
Oomycete infections caused by Saprolegnia species represent an escalating problem in sustainable aquaculture development. This could be attributed to the ban of Malachite green and other carcinogenic agents aims at killing ...
Molecular characterization, virulence profiling, antibiotic susceptibility, and scanning electron microscopy of Flavobacterium columnare isolates retrieved from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Columnaris is a common flavobacterial disease affecting tilapia aquaculture. Flavobacterium columnare has been identified as being responsible for the heavy mortalities of earthen-pond-cultured Nile tilapia (Oreochromis ...
