A sliver coated nanotech filter could protect farmed fish from fungus, according to research carried out at Tarbiat Modares University, Iran.
Colloidal silver is used to prevent the fungus Saprolengia in aquaculture. However, there are environmental concerns over the direct application on this colloidal nanoparticle.
Researchers found that fish can get the benefits of colloidal silver indirectly when it is applied to instruments such as filters.
The filter has been patented and more trials need to be conducted to ascertain how effectively the nanoparticles are absorbed.
Farmed-raised salmon retains omega-3s when baked according to research conducted by the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, USA.
The benefits of eating omega-3 rich foods such as salmon are well-documented but the effect of the cooking process on the presence of these fatty acids is less well-known. Scientists baked Atlantic farmed salmon and tested the fatty acid composition. They found that baking does not affect omeda-3 and decreases harmful fatty acid oxidation products.
Agricultural Research Service scientists at the Grand Forks [North Dakota] Human Nutrition Research Center (GFHNRC) conducted studies involving one popular U.S. farmed fish, Atlantic salmon. They wanted to learn more about the omega-3 fatty acids in the fish.
