Light, as one of the most crucial environmental factors, plays an essential role in the growth, physiology, and evolutionary survival of fish. To cope with diverse light conditions in aquatic environments, fish adapt through photosensory systems composed of both visual and non-visual pathways. The retina is a key component of the visual system of fish, capable of converting external optical signals into neural electrical signa...

This study investigated the impacts of light spectra on oxidative stress and nutrient quality of the fish Plectropomus leopardus in indoor recirculating aquaculture systems. The fish (100 g ± 0.45 g [wet weight]) were cultures in five different light spectra (full-spectrum (400–800 nm), blue (450 nm), green (530 nm), red (630 nm), and dark) for 60 days. After experimentation, blood and muscle tissue were collected and analyzed...

Photoperiod serves as a significant environmental signal for organisms and plays a critical role in regulating their metabolic processes. This research aimed to investigate the lipid metabolism and nutritional quality of adults Litopenaeus vannamei (wet weight: 11.27 ± 0.73 g, body length: 12.45 ± 0.42 cm) under five photoperiods (0L:24D, 8L:16D, 12L:12D, 16L:8D, and 24L:0D) for 40 days in recirculating water systems (RASs).
