To investigate the effects of three alternative protein sources—Hermetia illucens larvae meal (HIM), Chlorella meal (CM) and stickwater meal (SWM)—on the vitellogenin in female largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), these protein sources were used to replace 0% (control group, FM; containing 40% fishmeal), 25% and 50% of the fishmeal in the diet. A total of seven isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated (FM, 25% H...

In order to study the effects of soybean isoflavones on the growth performance and lipid metabolism of juvenile Chinese mitten crabs, six experimental diets were formulated by gradient supplementation with 0%, 0.004% and 0.008% soybean isoflavones at different dietary lipid levels (10% and 15%). The groups were named as follows: NF-0 group (10% fat and 0% SIFs), NF-0.004 group (10% fat and 0.004% SIFs), NF-0.008 group (10% fat...

In order to explore the effects of glutamate on the growth performance, antioxidant capacity and protein metabolism of juvenile Chinese mitten crab, 0%, 1% and 2% glutamate were supplemented to low protein (30%) and normal protein (35%) diets, respectively. There were 5 parallel tanks in each treatment, and the feeding duration was 8 weeks. The results showed that dietary glutamate did not significantly affect the weight gain...
