The effect of dietary black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens ) meal on flathead grey mullet ( Mugil cephalus ) liver transcriptomic response and fillet quality was assessed. To this end, 360 juvenile flathead grey mullets (weight = 40.2 ± 0.5 g) were randomly divided into four experimental groups. Fish were fed a reference diet (BSF0) and three experimental diets in which graded levels of partially defatted black soldier fly me...

Water temperature and dietary lipid levels are key factors influencing fish growth and metabolic homeostasis in aquaculture. This study aimed to understand the interactive effects on growth performance, metabolic response, gut microbiota, and gut evacuation dynamics in flathead grey mullet ( Mugil cephalus ). A 100-day feeding trial was carried out to assess the effects of two dietary lipid levels (10%, L10; 15%, L15) at 22 °C...

The capacity of utilising a single cell protein (SCP) ingredient coming from Corynebacterium glutamicum was assessed on adult grey mullet ( Mugil cephalus ) reared in captive conditions. The experiment was carried out using triplicate groups of grey mullet of 68 g average initial body weight. Three diets, SCP0, SCP10 and SCP20 with increasing inclusion of SCP (0%, 10% and 20%) in substitution of soybean, poultry and fish meal...
