What is this page?
This page lists the scientific contributions of an author, who either does not have a ResearchGate profile, or has not yet added these contributions to their profile.
It was automatically created by ResearchGate to create a record of this author's body of work. We create such pages to advance our goal of creating and maintaining the most comprehensive scientific repository possible. In doing so, we process publicly available (personal) data relating to the author as a member of the scientific community.
If you're a ResearchGate member, you can follow this page to keep up with this author's work.
If you are this author, and you don't want us to display this page anymore, please let us know.

Live prey is characterized by balanced rich nutrients and high palatability and is widely used for the seedling cultivation of freshwater dark sleeper (Odontobutis potamophila) larvae. In this study, we evaluated the effects of four groups of paired feeding regimens (group C (Daphnia magna), group L (Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri), group H (Hypophthalmi...
Microplastic pollution has emerged as a prominent concern within the global environmental landscape, given its propensity for substantial accumulation in estuaries, thereby posing threats to both biodiversity and human food security.
Nanoplastics (NPs) have emerged as contaminants in recent years and have attracted widespread attention because of their ecotoxicological effects. This study aimed to document the effects of different concentrations of NPs on the Monopterus albus. M. albus. M. albus were orally administered three different concentrations of 100 nm polystyrene NPs (...
Nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment have attracted attention worldwide as a new class of pollutant. However, their impacts on aquatic organisms are only beginning to be unraveled. The current study...
Effects of dietary niacin on the growth performance, intestinal histomorphology, body composition, and antioxidant capacity were investigated in the present study to determine the optimum requirement of niacin for juvenile Eriocheir sinensis. All 360 crabs (initial average weight 1.14±0.04 g) were randomly divided into 6 groups with 3 replicates in...
A 12-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of dietary arachidonic acid (ARA) levels on growth performance, feed utilization, muscle fatty acid composition and body proximate composition for juvenile Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis. Six semi-purified diets containing 0.11% (control group, G1), 1.20% (G2), 2.37% (G3), 3.52%...
Arachidonic acid (ARA) involves in lipid metabolism, biological processes and immune response of animals. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of ARA on the antioxidant capacity, immune response and intestinal health of Eriocheir sinensis. A 84-day feeding experiment was conducted using six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic semi-purified d...
The optimum dietary tryptophan requirement has not been estimated for northern snakehead (Channa argus Cantor, 1842) despite being considered the main limiting essential amino acid in many cereal grain ingredients. A 70-day feeding trial was carried out to determine the dietary tryptophan requirement using 540 juvenile fish (10.21 ± 0.11 g) randoml...

... The studies so far have laid a strong foundation for the argument that MPs and NPs have an overall diminishing effect on the beneficial gut microbes in fish, whereas they promulgate the occurrence and proportion of pathogenic or harmful ones (Montero et al., 2022;Zhou et al., 2024). For instance, Chen et al. (2023) found that the co-exposure of PS-NPs and cadmium in largemouth bass has an additive/synergistic impact on the gut microbiota. ...

... 86 The optimum level of ARA (protein source: 40% casein) for growth and fatty acid metabolism of mittenC (1 g) was 2.4% of the diet. 87 Dietary ARA (0.7%) in mittenC (1 g) significantly enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes and antibacterial capacity, and reduced inflammation (control: 40% casein). 88 In greenC (11 g), a moderate dietary ARA level (0.5%) promoted growth, improved ARA deposition and metabolism and increased sex steroid hormone, vitellogenin levels and ovarian development. ...

... These amino acids are involved in the synthesis of carnitine, which functions in the transportation of fatty acids to produce energy through oxidation [27], and increase protein retention [28]. Methionine supplementation can enhance protein synthesis in fish, as seen in blackhead seabream (17.25%) [29], improve growth performance in several fish species including common carp (Cyprinus carpio) [30], channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) [31], northern snakehead (Channa argus) [32], nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) [33]. It also helps in maintaining antioxidant system [34], and enhance energy metabolism by synthesizing cysteine and glutathione through trans-sulphuration pathway [35]. ...
