Improvement of Fish Growth and Metabolism by Oligosaccharide Prebiotic Supplement. [PDF]
Aquac Nutr, 2022 Finfish aquaculture is expected to continue to benefit from significantly improved fish diets, which are the source of energy to support the growth and health of fish. Strategies to enhance the transformation rate of dietary energy and protein to fish growth are greatly desired by fish culturists. Prebiotic compounds can be used as supplements to human,
