A review of the nutrition and feeding management of farmed tilapia throughout the culture cycle (2013, background): “Indeed, cellulose is regarded as having no nutritional benefit and is often added as an inert filler during nutrition experiments (Anderson et al. 1984; Sinha et al. 2011).”
Macroalgae as a sustainable aquafeed ingredient (2019, background): “As described earlier in the review (Section 2.4 and Table 2), each macroalgal group produces their own unique range of polysaccharides, which can subsequently affect the efficiency of nutrient assimilation in the fish gut (Sinha et al., 2011).”
Hermetia illucens meal as fish meal replacement for rainbow trout on farm (2017, background): “Accurate measurement of the chitin-content is necessary for future investigations as chitin may not only hamper precise estimates of protein contents but possibly triggers advantageous or disadvantageous side-effects like immunostimulation (Sakai, 1999) or, potentially acting as a non-starch polysac”
Dietary supplementation of exogenous carbohydrase enzymes in fish nutrition: A review (2015, background): “A second possibility is whether the improved nutrient digestibility is actual digestion or whether nutrients are being used by intestinal microbiota, which is known to be enhanced by reduced digesta viscosity, an indirect benefit of carbohydrase supplementation (Sinha et al., 2011).”
