Role of Azolla in sustainable agriculture and climate resilience: a comprehensive review

mycolabadmin

Azolla is a fast-growing water fern that can help farms become more sustainable by naturally fertilizing soil with nitrogen, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. It also helps control weeds, conserve water, and provides nutritious feed for livestock and fish. Beyond agriculture, Azolla can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and clean polluted water, making it valuable for both farming and environmental protection.

Health benefits of fish and fish by-products—a nutritional and functional perspective

mycolabadmin

Fish is an excellent food that provides many important nutrients like protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins that help protect our hearts, brains, and overall health. Different fish species offer various health benefits including protecting against heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and brain disorders. However, some fish can contain harmful contaminants like mercury, so choosing safer options like salmon and cod is important for children and pregnant women.

The Application of Fungi and Their Secondary Metabolites in Aquaculture

mycolabadmin

Fungi can help solve several problems in fish farming. They can make plant-based fish feed more nutritious and easier to digest, boost fish immune systems and disease resistance without antibiotics, help fish feed float better in water, and clean up polluted water from fish farms. This makes aquaculture more sustainable and environmentally friendly while reducing costs for farmers.

Evaluation of the synbiotic effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mushroom extract on the growth performance, digestive enzyme activity, and immune status of zebrafish danio rerio

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested whether combining a yeast called Saccharomyces cerevisiae with mushroom extract could improve the health and growth of zebrafish. The combination, called a synbiotic, significantly boosted fish growth by over 70%, enhanced their digestive function, and strengthened their immune system. This natural supplement approach shows promise for improving fish farming practices without requiring antibiotics.

In vitro Selection of Synbiotics and in vivo Investigation of Growth Indices, Reproduction Performance, Survival, and Ovarian Cyp19α Gene Expression in Zebrafish Danio rerio

mycolabadmin

Scientists tested a combination of beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus strains) mixed with mushroom extract as a food supplement for farmed fish. After 4 months of feeding this supplement to zebrafish, the fish grew faster, converted food more efficiently, and showed improved reproductive capability with increased egg production. The mushroom extract helped the beneficial bacteria thrive and function better, suggesting this natural supplement could improve fish farming outcomes.

Recent Knowledge in the Application of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Aquaculture: A Bibliometric and Narrative Review

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review examines how baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is being used as a probiotic supplement in fish farming and aquaculture. The research shows that adding this yeast to fish feed improves growth rates, helps fish fight off diseases, and creates healthier gut bacteria in aquatic animals. Scientists worldwide are increasingly studying this natural alternative to antibiotics, with studies demonstrating benefits across various fish species including tilapia, trout, and catfish, making it an important tool for sustainable and healthier aquaculture practices.
