The influence of various starch and non-starch polysaccharides on the digestibility of diets fed to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
TL;DR: The results show that different polysaccharide classes can have distinctly different effects on diet digestibility parameters, and that some classes of poly Saccharide have greater effects than others.

Effective use of microbial biomass products to facilitate the complete replacement of fishery resources in diets for the black tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon
Brett D. Glencross,Brett D. Glencross,Simon Irvin,Simon Irvin,Stuart J. Arnold,Stuart J. Arnold,David Blyth,David Blyth,Nicholas Bourne,Nicholas Bourne,Nigel P. Preston,Nigel P. Preston +11 more
TL;DR: This study has effectively demonstrated a viable strategy for not only a complete replacement of all fishery products in shrimp diets, but also an improved performance strategy.

An evaluation of the complete replacement of both fishmeal and fish oil in diets for juvenile Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer
Brett D. Glencross,David Blyth,Simon Irvin,Nicholas Bourne,Marcel Campet,Pascal Boisot,Nicholas M. Wade +6 more
TL;DR: Replacement of fish oil was more successful with the ability to completely replace all FO demonstrated at all but the lowest inclusion levels of FM, demonstrating that the near complete replacement of both FM and FO in barramundi diets is a technical reality.

Dietary astaxanthin levels affect colour, growth, carotenoid digestibility and the accumulation of specific carotenoid esters in the Giant Tiger Shrimp, Penaeus monodon
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a total dietary carotenoid intake of between 25 and 50 mg kg−1 Axn is required for normal shrimp growth and health in P. monodon.
Comparison of faecal collection methods and diet acclimation times for the measurement of digestibility coefficients in barramundi (Lates calcarifer)
David Blyth,David Blyth,S.J. Tabrett,S.J. Tabrett,Nicholas Bourne,Nicholas Bourne,Brett D. Glencross,Brett D. Glencross +7 more
TL;DR: The collection of faeces by stripping produced more conservative ADCs, which were also more consistent than those obtained using the settlement technique, and the calculated ADCs typically fluctuated for the first 3 days of collection before the variability diminished.
