A comparison of digestive strategies for fishes with different feeding habits: Digestive enzyme activities, intestinal morphology, and gut microbiota

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Fish feeding habit determines the digestive tract structure and intestinal microflora. However, the relationship between feeding habit, digestive intestinal morphology, and microbial diversity of omnivorous, herbivorous, plankton feeder, and carnivorous ...

Go big or go fish: morphological specializations in carnivorous bats [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
Specialized carnivory is relatively uncommon across mammals, and bats constitute one of the few groups in which this diet has evolved multiple times. While size and morphological adaptations for carnivory have been identified in other taxa, it is unclear what phenotypic traits characterize the relatively recent evolution of carnivory in bats.

Initial Development of Carnival Fish of Sweet Water: Systematic Review of Literature

Fronteiras: Journal of Social, Technological and Environmental Science, 2020
The initial development of carnivorous fish in farms requires intensive care regarding nutrition and management, in order to avoid the stress that can lead to cannibalistic behavior, a major cause of mortality in larvae and juveniles of cultivated ...

Asymmetric expression of homoeologous genes contributes to dietary adaption of an allodiploid hybrid fish derived from Megalobrama amblycephala (♀) × Culter alburnus (♂)

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Hybridization, which can quickly merge two or more divergent genomes and form new allopolyploids, is an important technique in fish genetic breeding.

Fish farmers highlight opportunities and warnings for urban carnivore conservation [PDF]

Conservation Science and Practice, 2019
Abstract As urbanization globally drives mammals and carnivores into compact spaces, they will increasingly come into conflict with development and natural resource extraction pressures. The management of these populations is further complicated by difficulties in monitoring what are often rare and elusive species.

Growth and intestinal microbiota of Sabah giant grouper reared on food waste-based pellets supplemented with spirulina as a growth promoter and alternative protein source

Aquaculture Reports, 2020
Spirulina has been proven to be an effective growth promoter for many fish species. However, most related studies have focused on herbivorous and omnivorous fish, and limited research has been conducted on carnivorous fish.

Nutritional Evaluation of Black Soldier Fly Frass as an Ingredient in Florida Pompano (Trachinotus carolinus L.) Diets

Animals, 2022
The aquaculture industry is in need of sustainable fish feed to reduce the use of expensive and environmentally invasive wild-caught fish currently fed to many carnivorous species.

Reduced dry season fish biomass and depleted carnivorous fish assemblages in unprotected tropical oxbow lakes

Biological Conservation, 2021
Abstract The effectiveness of protected areas in maintaining biodiversity is increasingly under debate. Specifically, the responses of animal populations in freshwater ecosystems to disturbances outside protected areas are not well understood. Fish assemblages can serve as an indicator of such responses.
