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.

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.

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.
