Brown seaweed has gained special attention in aquaculture nutrition studies due to its functional bioactive compounds, such as polysaccharides. This study evaluated the functional potential of the brown seaweed, Ascophyllum nodosum , as a natural immunostimulant and growth promoter in Nile tilapia. A 74-day feeding experiment was conducted using 540 fingerlings (initial body weight 18.4 ± 0.2 g), randomly allocated to six diet...

Koi herpesvirus disease (KHVD), caused by Cyprinid herpesvirus ‐3 (CyHV‐3), poses a significant threat to global aquaculture due to its high mortality rates and economic impact. Current diagnostic methods, such as PCR, are limited by equipment dependency and procedural complexity, hindering point‐of‐care (POC) applications. To address this, we developed an integrated assay combining recombinase‐aided amplification (RAA) with C...

This study investigates the optimal application rate of medium curing (MC) prime coats in flexible pavement construction through a combined experimental and numerical approach. Prime coat rates ranging from 0.0 to 2.0 kg/m 2 were applied to asphalt-base specimens and assessed using penetration depth, permeability, and shear strength tests. An application rate of 1.5 kg/m 2 yielded the most favorable results, with a penetration...

This study investigated the effects of different forms of dietary vitamin C on growth performance, immune responses, antioxidant defense, and physiological health of grey mullet ( Liza ramada , mean initial weight 40.32 ± 0.15 g, n = 3) over a 60-day feeding trial. Five experimental diets were formulated: a control diet devoid of vitamin C (D1) and diets supplemented with 200 mg/kg of crystalline vitamin C (L-ascorbyl-2-monoph...

This study investigated the effects of dietary garlic powder and fermented garlic powder supplementation at 1% and 2% levels on growth performance, digestive tract efficacy, blood biochemistry, immunity, and antioxidant status of Liza ramada (n = 225 fish; 86.00 ± 0.42 g) over a 60-day period. Fish fed diets supplemented with both forms of garlic at both levels exhibited significantly improved final body weight, weight gain, s...
