Oysters, as sessile organisms, are highly influenced by environmental conditions affecting their growth and reproduction. Therefore, unfavorable conditions can directly compromise the effectiveness of oyster reef restoration efforts. The study applied the dynamic energy budget (DEB) theory to model the growth of the Suminoe oyster (Crassostrea ariakensis) and estimated the model’s main parameters through linear and nonlinear r...

Diet form is increasingly recognized as a welfare-relevant factor in intensive aquaculture, yet the effects of feed cooking on fish behavioral and physiological welfare remain poorly characterized. Juvenile southern catfish (Silurus meridionalis; 6.18 ± 0.52 g) were reared for 6 weeks in an indoor recirculating aquaculture system and fed either raw grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) muscle (fish fed raw muscle, FR) or cooked...
