Monolaurin in feed boosts growth and gut health in juvenile largemouth bass
Dietary monolaurin is earning its place in aquafeed, and the data from juvenile largemouth bass makes a compelling case. Across 56 days, fish fed 800 to 1100 mg/kg showed higher final body weights, with 800 mg/kg delivering the best growth rates. Beyond size, the additive lowered whole-body lipid content while boosting crude protein, and it sharpened antioxidant defenses by raising catalase and superoxide dismutase activities. Gut health followed suit, as pathogenic *Aeromonas* declined while beneficial *Cetobacterium* flourished.
Optimizing Microalgae Nutrition for Sustainable Aquafeed Production
Marine microalgae are proving that sustainable aquafeed does not require a compromise in performance. In this study, *Tetraselmis chuii* and *Nannochloropsis oculata* thrived in a modified F/2-NPK medium, replacing conventional macronutrients with a commercial fertilizer. Peak biomass reached 0.603 g L⁻¹, with protein content holding above 34% across treatments. The preliminary *Artemia* assay showed steady growth, though the authors rightly frame these results as a starting point, not a final verdict.
