Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 4, September 2025.ABSTRACT Artemia (brine shrimp) is a foundational live feed in global aquaculture, renowned for its adaptability, ease of production, and favorable nutritional profile. However, in its natural state, Artemia contains suboptimal levels of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs), particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA ...

Antagonistic interactions between honey bee bacterial symbionts and implications for disease
BMC Ecology, 2006 Background Honey bees, Apis mellifera, face many parasites and pathogens and consequently rely on a diverse set of individual and group-level defenses to prevent disease. One route by which honey bees and other insects might combat disease is through the

From waste to resource: Garlic peel‐derived proteases (Allium sativum) for nematode control
Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, Volume 44, Issue 4, July/August 2025.Abstract This study aimed to prepare a protease‐rich extract from garlic peel (Allium sativum) and evaluate its nematicidal potential. The garlic peel was crushed, suspended in distilled water, and the obtained extract was subjected to filtration, centrifugation, and dialysis to concentrate the proteases. The nematicidal activity was tested in vitro on
