EU experiment 'designs' effective weaning diet for grey mullet juveniles

摘要

Grey mullet {Mugil cephalus) fingerlings fed an omnivorous weaning diet, which has moderate carbohydrate and protein levels, exhibited superior growth and biomass gain compared to carnivorous and herbivorous weaning feeds.This was a main finding of a grey mullet study within the framework of a EU funded project through DIVERSIFY. The project explores the biological and socio-economic potential of new/emerg-ing candidate fish species for expansion of the European aquaculture industry.
