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

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.

Eumelanin Detection in Melanized Focal Changes but Not in Red Focal Changes on Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Fillets

Farmed Atlantic salmon sometimes develop unsightly black and red spots that reduce market value. Researchers analyzed these discolored areas and found that the black spots contain a type of melanin pigment (eumelanin) produced by immune cells called melanomacrophages. The red spots contain different compounds formed from oxidized proteins rather than true melanin. Understanding the chemical differences between these two types of spots could help salmon farmers develop better prevention strategies.
