Protein synthesis is fundamental to all living organisms and it has been studied intensively
and at varying levels of complexity. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of …

Growth is a fundamental process within all marine organisms. In soft tissues, growth is
primarily achieved by the synthesis and retention of proteins as protein growth. The protein …

The expressions of trypsin and chymotrypsin in the pyloric caeca of Atlantic salmon (Salmo
salar L.) were studied in three experiments. Two internal (trypsin phenotypes, life stages) …

Feed conversion ratio (FCR) is the ratio between feed intake and weight gain. By improving
FCR within a species, feed intake can be reduced for the same amount of growth, thus …

Before embarking on a discussion of growth and metabolism and their intricate relationship
in fish, it might be necessary to define the crucial term: growth. The definition, whether it is …

Practical diets for common carp are often formulated with little concern for the biological and
environmental consequences of poor digestive or metabolic utilization of dietary ingredients …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the rates of protein synthesis in fish. Protein
synthesis can be viewed at a number of levels. Whole-animal values can be integrated into …

All animals must acquire food to grow, but there is a vast diversity in how different species
and even different individuals approach and achieve this task. Individuals within a species …

The aim of the present paper is to review recent information on food consumption rates of
individual fish and to explore the ways in which values for individual food consumption can …

The aims of this study were to examine the relation between consumption, growth and
protein synthesis for individual rainbow trout held in groups, and to examine how differences …
