Abstract
Chitosan nanoparticles have received a lot of attention in recent years due to their beneficial properties as healthy supplement to supply bioactive substances in the food industry and nutrition. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of chitosan nanoparticles (CsNPs) as nutritional stimulus at the early feeding for the Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) fry on the growth performance, feed efficiency, and histomorphological health of the liver and intestine. Graded levels of CsNPs (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.6g kg −1 diet) were added to
期刊介绍:
The main focus of Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries is to publish peer-reviewed, original papers relating to the biology and ecology of fresh, brackish and marine wetlands. Papers on applied research in both fisheries and aquaculture are so encouraging. Preference will be given to studies that address timely and current topics such as impact of climate change and green economy. The aim of Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries is to provide a wide scope for the aquatic biologist and limnologist to address and evaluate fisheries issues related to processes and functioning at different levels (individuals, communities and ecosystems).
