TL;DR: To fully conclude on the effects of adding prebiotics in fish diets, more research efforts are needed to provide the aquaculture industry, the scientific community, the regulatory bodies and the general public with the necessary information and tools.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors make a case for a closer integration of fish into the overall debate and future policy about food security and nutrition, making a case that fish is one of the most efficient converters of feed into high quality food and its carbon footprint is lower compared to other animal production systems.

TL;DR: This review summarizes information regarding digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in cultivated fish and reports results of studies of digestive enzymes, e.g. amylase, chitinase, cellulase and brush border disaccharidases, which appear to be molecularly closely related and to have characteristics comparable to mammalian amylases.

TL;DR: Significantly reduced feed intake during the first period and slightly reduced digestibility of 16:0 and starch were identified as possible causes for growth depression, since minor differences in protein or lipid digestibility, feed conversion ratio, and protein and lipid retention were observed.

TL;DR: Apparent digestibility of crude protein and the amino acids arginine, lysine, methionine and phenylalanine increased significantly with increased dietary inclusion of FPH, and Plasma free amino acids, ammonium and urea indicated that FPH amino acids was absorbed earlier and nonsynchronously, and may thus be more prone to be catabolized than in those fish fed the less solubilized protein.
