The present study was conducted to evaluate the hormesis and toxicity of short-term low-dose aflatoxin B1 in grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idellus ). Triplicate isonitrogenous and isocaloric aflatoxin B1 diets—CD (control, 0 ug/kg), D1 (20 ug/kg), and D2 (500 ug/kg)—were prepared and fed to grass carp with an initial mean body weight of (15.2 ± 0.1) g for 56 days. The results showed that the weight gain rate and specific growt...

Water temperature plays a crucial role in the growth, survival, and reproduction of fish species, as they make up the majority of aquatic fauna. In this study, the effects of low temperature were studied on the functional state of juvenile golden pompano ( Trachinotus ovatus ) under low-temperature stress. The study was conducted at 28°C in the control group and 18°C in the cold group for 14 d to determine the intestinal tissu...
