This study aimed to determine the effect of feeding frequency on growth, nutrition, and survival indices in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). In this experiment, 216 rainbow trout with an average weight of 38 ± 0.11 g were distributed in 18 (300-liter fiberglass) tanks complete randomly. Three experimental treatments include different feeding times 1, 3, and 5 times a day (treatments 1, 2, and 3, respectively), were fed with 6 replications and based on 5% of biomass weight for 90 days. At the end of the experimental period, a significant difference was observed in all growth indices. In all these indicators, treatment 2 was superior to treatment 3. A significant difference was observed between treatments 2 and 1. The results of measuring feed efficiency ratio in this study showed that feed efficiency in treatment 1 has the lowest value and has a significant difference with treatments 2 and 3 (P<0.05). The highest value of this index was observed for treatment 2, while there was no significant difference with treatment 3. The lowest survival rate was observed in treatment 1, and the highest value was observed in treatment 2. The economic efficiency ratio showed the three times a day in treatment 2 the most cost-effective feeding times. So that the maximum amount of food cost was observed in treatment 1, and the minimum amount was observed in treatment 2. The results showed the frequency of feeding 3 times a day in terms of production in rainbow trout.

The goal of the current study was to determine how feeding interactions among three species of tilapia affected growth and survival indices at various weights in the laboratory. In this study, four experimental groups were examined based on various weights at 60 days in the lab: control, the interaction of Blue-Nile, the interaction of Blue-Zilli, and the interaction of Nile-Zilli. The most of growth-related indices in the Nile control were more appropriate than in other control treatments. The increase in body weight was significantly different across various treatments, according to the results of the growth and survival indices of Blue and Zilli. Zilli had 100% survival in treatments 6-7 and minimal survival in treatment 5. Blue tilapia also had the maximum survival in treatment 4 and the lowest survival in treatment 7. The results of Nile and Blue's growth and survival indices similarly revealed significant differences in most growth and survival indicators. So, in treatment 11, Nile tilapia showed the highest growth in body weight. Furthermore, the 10th treatment for the Nile considerably reported the lowest FCR. In this experiment, the Nile's highest survival rate was 100%. In Blue, the survival rate was at least 73.3%. The results of growth and survival indices were significantly affected by the exposure of Nile and Zili, like the other two interactions. In the 12th and 13th treatments, the FCR was assessed to be the lowest in Zilli and Nile. Nile in treatment 13 achieved 100% survival in the feeding interaction of Nile and Zilli. Blue tilapia appears to have less food competition than Zili and Nile. It was discovered that Nile, Zilli, and, Blue tilapia of varying weights exhibit more intense food competition behavior in laboratory conditions.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selenium, magnesium nanoparticles and their composition on growth and digestive enzymes of Asian seabass with a mean weight of 32.78±1.16 g for 42 days. After adaptation to the experimental conditions, 96 fish were randomly distributed in 12 fiberglass cylinder 300-liter tanks in equal numbers. Four treatments including control treatment, 4mg / kg nanoselenium, 500mg / kg nanomagnasium and combination of 4mg/ kg nanoselenium with 500mg / kg nanomagnasium were investigated. The fish were fed daily in satiation and up to 3% of body weight in two time a day. Samples needed to measure growth indices and digestive enzymes were collected at the end of the period. The results showed that in the fish fed the combined treatment, the highest body weight gain was 131.33±26.58 and the specific growth rate was 2.08±0.28 and there was a significant difference between the control treatment (65.01±21.26 and 1.23±0.32, respectively) (P <0.05). The results of this study showed that digestive enzymes of alkaline phosphatase, lipase, trypsin and chymotrypsin were significantly different between experimental treatments (P <0.05), so that the highest activity of alkaline phosphatase in nanoselenium treatment (611.06±82.00U/mg protein), the highest amount of lipase (0.86±0.03 U/mg protein), trypsin (0.054 ± 0.001 U/mg protein), and chymotrypsin (0.214±0.004U/mg protein) was seen in nanomagnesium treatment (P <0.05), whereas the amylase enzyme showed no significant difference between the experimental treatments (P> 0.05). The results of this study showed that the addition of selenium and magnesium nanoparticles to the diet of Asian Sea bass had positive effects on growth performance and digestive enzymes and suggested that magnesium nanoparticle supplementation (500 mg/kg) could be used alone or in combination with selenium nanoparticles (4 mg/kg nano-selenium and 500 mg / kg nano-magnesium) in the diet of Asian Sea bass.

In this study, the effects of different dietary protein and salinity levels on cellular parameters of hemolymph in white leg shrimp (as a part of immune system) of the white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) juvenile were studied. The number of 350 shrimps with the average weight of 5.55±0.18 g and length of 8.81±0.15 cm were distributed randomly in 27 ten tones (length: 600 cm, width: 170 cm and height: 100 cm) concrete tanks. A 3×3 factorial experimental including three levels of salinity (0-3, 12-15 and 32-35 ppt) and three dietary protein levels (25, 35 and 45%). Experimental shrimps were fed to satiation 4 times a day throughout the experimental 56 days. According to the results cellular parameters like: total hemocytes count (THC) and differential hemocyte count (DHC) were analysed and recorded. The dietary protein levels 35% and salinity of 32-35 ppt had direct positive impact on THC and granular cells (GC). Although the semi granular poisonous cells have been decreased with the increase in both of the experimental variables (P≤ 0/05) and no effected on the agranular cells. So based on the results of this study, the protein diet with the 35% is suggested for L. vannamei. Taking in to consideration the results of the study we can say the best water salinity for culture of this species is 32-35 ppt.

In this study the macrobenthose assemblage and their relationship with sediment texture was investigate by acoustic remote sensing. Macrobenthse in marine sediment plays an important role in ecosystem and any fluctuation in their communities will directly affect the abundance of fishery resources in the sea. Acoustic remote sensing techniques investigate the vast seabed in rather small time interval. This survey site covers approximately 233km2. Geophysics data was derived by single beam echo sounder and differential global positioning system. The sediment texture and macrobenthose identification was done with grab sampling. The most study area is shallow and covered with mud. Dominant benthic animals were Cirratulidae, Amphionomidae and Paraonidae from Polychaetes. The sediment types have no important and significant effect on distribution and richness. Thus, in all stations with monotone sediment texture, there is similar species composition. Because of monotone geological characteristic in seafloor, macrobenthose assemblage patterns are not affected by sediment texture and grain size.

The crude protein content and amino acid compositions of muscle from wild and cultured of male and female Acanthopagrus latus were determined by HPLC. There were quantitative differences between individual amino acids in the tissues investigated, depending on the sex and location. It was noted that, among all the samples studied in tissues, sexes and locations, lysine and isoleucine were the principal essential amino acid (EAA) and glutamic acid was mainly for non-essential amino acid (NEAA). Lysine and isoleucine of male muscles had a significantly higher (P<0.05) amount than female muscles. The crude protein content in male and female muscles was not found to be significantly different. Depending on location, the percentages of arginine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, serine, glycine, alanine and tyrosine were significantly different (P<0.05) in muscles of wild and cultured fish. The wild seabream possessed considerably higher protein content than cultured seabream muscle. The results showed that wild male fish muscle contained a higher (P>0.05) level of EAA than other groups. The results indicate that the Acanthopagrus latus is a healthful component of the human diet.
