Fungal infections have emerged as a significant public health concern, especially with the increasing incidence of severe mycoses caused by pathogens such as Aspergillus fumigatus , Candida auris , Candida albicans , and Cryptococcus neoformans . These fungi, listed as critical priorities by the World Health Organization, pose a heightened risk due to rising antifungal resistance and their severe impact on immunocompromised in...

This study explores the hydrodynamic behaviour of a fish cage in a steady current by employing a fluid–structure interaction model with one-way coupling between a fluid solver and a structural model. The fluid field around the fish cage is predicted using a computational fluid dynamics solver, while the stress and deformation of the netting are calculated using finite element structural algorithm with solid elements reflecting...

Glycerol, an abundant by‐product of biodiesel production, has gained attention due to its price and availability for potential commercial applications, and thus utilisation as an animal feed ingredient. This article comprehensively reviews glycerol utilisation in fish and its potential as a dietary ingredient for aquaculture. While dietary inclusion of glycerol may offer cost‐effective energy and metabolic intermediates, studi...

Glycerol is a 3-carbon sugar alcohol successfully employed as an alternative feed ingredient for land-farmed animals and more recently for farmed fish. While most studies address zootechnical performance, few have delved into the metabolic utilization of dietary glycerol. A growth trial was performed using diets with increasing levels of glycerol (0, 2.5 and 5%) on two relevant species for aquaculture: rainbow trout (8-week tr...

Glycerol is the by-product of biodiesel production and its utilisation in fish feed has recently gained relevance. As an important metabolic intermediate and structural component of triacylglycerol (TAG), it is still unclear whether its supplementation affects lipid utilisation and/or deposition in different tissues. Accordingly, a set of studies was aimed to evaluate how increasing levels of dietary glycerol (0, 2.5 and 5%) a...
