Assessing the Interactive Effects of High Salinity and Stocking Density on the Growth and Stress Physiology of the Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

Fishes
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of high salinity combined with stocking density on Litopenaeus vannamei. Three salinity gradients, namely, 28 g/L, 36 g/L, and 44 g/L, and two stocking densities, namely, 300 and 600 shrimp/m3, were used ...

Ammonia Emissions of Pullets and Effects of Stocking Density

, 2010
Data on ammonia (NH3) emissions from pullets (hens <18 weeks of age) are non-existent, despite the large differences in nutritional and environmental conditions between raising pullets and laying hens. Different stocking densities (SD's) in housing the birds may be used in response to certain industry guidelines on production.

Effects of dietary 1,8‐cineole supplementation on growth performance, antioxidant, and immunological responses of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, reared in different stocking densities

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary 1,8‐cineole (CIN) on Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, reared at different stocking densities. Fish (average initial weight 13.2 ± 0.35 g) were fed diets supplemented with 0%, 0.25%, or 0.5% CIN and ...
