Dietary cinnamon has several bioactive compounds with growth-promoting and immunomodulation potential and is suggested for finfish species. This study evaluated the inclusion of cinnamon at 0, 10, 15, and 20 g/kg in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) diets. After 90 days, the highest final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, and the lowest feed conversion ratio were seen in fish treated with 10 g/kg (p < 0.05). Further, the measured growth hormone in the blood indicated that fish treated with 10 g/kg had a higher level than fish 0 and 20 g/kg. After the feeding trial, fish treated with cinnamon at varying levels had higher lipid content than fish before the feeding trial (p < 0.05). Lower Vibrio spp. and Faecal Coliform counts were observed in fish treated with cinnamon than fish fed a cinnamon-free diet (p < 0.05). The hematocrit level was markedly (p < 0.05) increased in fish fed cinnamon at 10 g/kg compared to the control without significant differences with fish fed 15 and 20 g/kg. Hemoglobin was significantly increased in fish treated with cinnamon at 10, 15, and 20 g/kg compared to fish fed a cinnamon-free diet (p < 0.05). Red and white blood cells (RBCs and WBCs) were meaningfully (p < 0.05) increased in fish treated with cinnamon compared with the control. Markedly, fish treated with cinnamon had higher serum total lipids than the control with the highest value in fish treated with 15 g/kg (p < 0.05). The lysozyme activity was markedly higher in fish treated with 15 g cinnamon/kg than fish fed 0, 10, and 20 g/kg (p < 0.05). Moreover, phagocytic activity was significantly higher in fish treated with cinnamon at 10, and 15 g/kg than fish fed 0 and 20 g/kg (p < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary cinnamon is suggested at 10–15 g/kg for achieving the high production and wellbeing of European sea bass.

“…Our results were similar to the findings of [32][33][34][35], which established that young farmers are willing to accept new knowledge, invest in technology development and adoption and justify their practices. Another prior study [36] proposed that in order to gain beneficial experience for young farmers, they should be trained in farm production supervision and management.…”

Evaluation of the Technical Efficiency of Taiwan’s Milkfish Polyculture in Consideration of Differences in Culturing Models and Environments

Taiwan has cultured milkfish for longer than hundreds of years. Given its long and narrow terrain surrounded by sea and location in a subtropical monsoon area, it has developed a unique culture bounded by the Erren River in the south. The Yunjianan area in the north is cold in winter and thus follows the “current year harvest” culturing model. In contrast, the Gaoping area in the south is warmer in winter and follows the “overwinter harvest” culturing model. This paper evaluated the production efficiency by using the stochastic metafrontier production model and the multi-input-multi-output distance function using input from in-person interviews with 100 current year harvest farmers and 70 overwinter harvest farmers from 2017 to 2019. In the first stage, the environmental variables of various regions were internalized into the model to obtain the group technical efficiency (GTE) of different farming models. In the second stage, the common environmental variables were re-internalized to evaluate the metafrontier technical efficiency (MTE) of both culturing modes. In this way, the technical efficiency and production technology of the two different culturing model are reasonably evaluated by taking into account not only the difference between their input and output, but also their environmental difference during their farming periods. The results show that in spite of the environmental difference between th two culturing models, shallower pond, smaller size of fish fry and lower shrimp density should make culturing more technically efficient. When cultured in a common environment, the lower the temperature, the worse the culture efficiency is. It indicated that milkfish are highly sensitive to low temperature. Therefore, the MTE and technical gap rate (TGR) of current year harvest farming are significantly higher than those of overwinter harvest farming. Finally, the regression analysis showed that the younger the farmers were, the lower the average pond age was, the larger the freshwater culture area was, and the greater the experience in fish farming was. Thus, the relatively better the MTE is; the younger the farmers, the higher the education level is and the more years of experience in fish farming they have, thus the relatively better the production technology level is.

“…Previous bibliometric analyses on aquaculture showed that scientific literature focused much on the themes of genetics and reproduction, growth and physiology, farming systems and environment, nutrition, water quality, and health (Natale et al, 2012). There were also bibliometric analyses looking at researches on specific commodities (Cantillo et al, 2021) and practical aquaculture efficiency (See et al, 2021). A bibliometric analyses on shrimp diseases was also performed ten years ago (Dastidar et al, 2013).…”

This paper described the research landscape in Southeast Asia over the last 10 years (2012 to 2021) in terms of Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND), a shrimp disease prevalent in the region. Three hundred and ninety-six (396) records from Scopus database were screened for duplication and eligibility, to come up with a total of 155 papers used in the bibliometric analysis. Among all countries, Thailand produced the most publications, total citations, and the highest h-index. No papers from Brunei, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Timor Leste on AHPND were obtained. Southeast Asian countries had strong linkages within the region and beyond. Overlay visualization of keywords used in publications over the last 10 years showed that there was a shift in focus from the diagnosis and characterization of the disease to treatments. Interestingly, there were no significant correlations between a country’s research investments and productivity, possibly because of issues on allocation. However, there was a positive correlation between the region’s research outputs and crustacean production. Limitations of the study include the use of a single database and the exclusion of non-peer reviewed papers. Nonetheless, these results may serve as basis on policymaking on AHPND research investments, prioritization, and allocation in Southeast Asia.
