Nutritional Physiology and Stress Responses in Farmed Fish and Shrimp
This community investigates how dietary supplements, water chemistry, and environmental stressors affect the growth, immunity, and metabolic health of commercially important fish and crustaceans.
The research focuses heavily on Nile tilapia, rainbow trout, Atlantic salmon, and white shrimp. Recurring themes include the effects of dietary selenium, antioxidant capacity, and ammonia nitrogen exposure on juvenile growth and immune response. Studies frequently examine gene expression, oxidative stress, and intestinal health in response to these factors. The work also covers alternative protein sources, herbal essential oils, and functional feed additives designed to improve performance and reduce reliance on traditional inputs.
The community’s output is most concentrated in oxygen research, accounting for 0.5% of all tracked oxygen studies, and selenium research, also at 0.5%. It contributes 998 papers to nitrogen research and 697 to phosphorus research.
There are 8,666 papers in this community, published primarily in Aquaculture, Journal of Experimental Biology, and Aquaculture Research.
Recent work continues to explore the impact of high-temperature stress on shrimp hepatopancreas, the immunomodulatory effects of plant extracts in tilapia, and the molecular mechanisms of cystatin genes in silver pomfret.
