TiO<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles enhanced bioaccumulation and toxic performance of PAHs via trophic transfer
2021, Journal of Hazardous MaterialsCitation Excerpt :nTiO2 could physically damage the digestive system, thereby inhibiting nutrient conversion, and subsequently restricting energy acquisition and retarding growth in juvenile turbots (Lv et al., 2017). Both Phe and nTiO2 have inhibitory effects on the energy metabolism of juveniles turbots (Machiels and Henken, 1985). Thus, the synergistic effects of nTiO2 and Phe on S. maximus cannot be neglected.
Feeding de-oiled rice bran (DORB) to Rohu, Labeo rohita: Effect of varying dietary protein and lipid level on growth, body composition, and insulin like growth factor (IGF) expression
2018, AquacultureCitation Excerpt :Fat-enriched high-energy diets result in rapid growth and favorable feed conversion (Steffens, 1996). Many authors have reported the protein sparing effect of lipid viz., Yellow tail (Shimeno et al., 1985); African catfish (Machiels and Henken, 1985); Chinook salmon (Silver et al., 1991). Fish growth is affected by several environmental factor such as temperature (Ranjan et al., 2018c), photoperiod and food availability and is under genetic control (Moriyama et al., 2000).
Relationships between body burdens of trace metals (As, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Se, and Zn) and the relative body size of small tooth flounder (Pseudorhombus jenynsii)
2012, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Our measure of relative body size (g y− 1) approximates the mass of the fish per year of life, which should largely control for effects due to differences between year classes, given that we know the growth pattern is approximately linear (Fig. 2d). The approximately linear growth pattern suggests that fish are not experiencing a decline in their rate of growth (and hence metabolism) up to their fourth year (Machiels and Henken, 1985). For these reasons it is unlikely that differences in metabolic activity between fish of different ages are the primary driver of the negative relationships observed in this study.
Mineral status of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fed diets containing graded levels of soybean or cottonseed meals
2008, AquacultureCitation Excerpt :In channel catfish and rainbow trout high soybean-based diets supplemented with methionine produced better growth than did unsupplemented diets (Murai et al., 1982; Davies and Morris, 1997). Several studies on African catfish (Machiels and Henken, 1985; Henken et al., 1986; Degani et al., 1989; Uys, 1989; Fagbenro, 1996; Imorou Toko et al., 2007b) have shown that the body composition in nutrients was related to their dietary amount, growth rate or the difference in suitability of feed ingredients used. In the present study, dietary nutrients (protein and lipid) were found to meet the African catfish requirement.
