The results of nutritional values showed that the percentage of protein, carbohydrate and lipid content was recorded, the minimum and maximum amount of nutritional status were recorded from males and females of freshwater prawns considering the results obtained in the present study in nutritional point...
aquaculture, imported and exported fish in Kenya, to determine the contribution fish can make to food and nutritional security. The objectives of the study were to: (1) Establish trends in the supply of fish over 16 years (2005–2020) in Kenya; (2) Assess the nutrient content of current ...
2.3. Determination of the macronutrients content The protein, moisture, carbohydrate fat, and ash contents of the salted, grilled, fried, and boiled shrimp samples were determined. The moisture was determined by drying shrimp flesh samples at 105 °C to a perpetual weight using the oven. The pr...
Furthermore, the content in essential amino acids of microalgae is similar to that of oyster larvae. Overall, this indicates that protein quality is unlikely a factor that contributes to differences in nutritional value among microalgae. Finally, sterols [32], minerals [33] and pigments of ...
Health Benefits of Pineapple Along the minerals and vitamins found in pineapple, it has high content ofVitamin Cwhich is helpful to suppress colds, coughs and flu symptoms. Vitamin C being a natural antioxidant, it is essential to synthesize collagen which is the predominant protein in the body...
The lipid content (mg g–1 of prawn) of the digestive gland of prawns fed ad libitum was similar for reference, practical and commercial diets (6.03 ± 0.38, 4.92 ± 0.90 and 4.92 ± 0.95 mg g–1 of prawn, respectively), but significantly ( P < ...
Edible crustaceans (crabs, crayfish, lobsters, prawns, and shrimps) are all aquatic, while edible insects are mainly terrestrial with few aquatic ones. The increase in the global population is currently having negative impacts on the environment because of the increasing demand for conventional food....
The reference diet, based on widely available ingredients of consistent and known nutrient content, supported excellent prawn growth when fed either ad libitum or subsatiation (≈ 75% of the mean initial satiation intake). In a 6-week experiment, growth (as percentage increase in weight, ±...
2000. Blood refractive index and whole-body lipid content as indicators of nutritional condition for penaeid prawns (Decapoda: Penaeidae). J Exp Mar Biol Ecol. 244:131-143.Moore, L. E., D. M. Smith & N. R. Loneragan. 2000. Blood refractive index and whole-body lipid content as ...
The restriction period consisted of intermittent starvation (alternating four-day feeding with no feeding for four days) and a recovery period of continuous feeding following the restriction period. Survival was high over a 20-week trial with cycles of food scarcity. Prawns showed...
