Aquatic Animal Nutrition, Organic Macro and Micro Nutrients

Publication Year: 2022

Author / Editor: Christian E. W. Steinberg

Overview: This volume explores the physiological and ecological impacts of organic macro- and micronutrients on aquatic animals, moving beyond commercial aquaculture recipes to examine life history traits and generational effects. It details how specific dietary components like proteins and amino acids influence the health, development, and stress resistance of diverse aquatic organisms.

Key Topics Covered:

Protein requirements and amino acid landscapes across invertebrates and fishes
Utilization and consumption patterns of proteinaceous nutrients during ontogenesis
Comparative analysis of peptide versus amino acid absorption and health impacts
Specific functions, requirements, and regulatory roles of individual amino acids
