Abstract
ABSTRACT Mediterranean sand smelt Atherina hepsetus, whose flesh was infected by Kudoa anatolica, was investigated for its impacts on the nutritional composition of host fish. Based on the infection densities of K. anatolica, fish were grouped to have uninfected control (A), slightly (B), moderately (C), and highly infected (D). While there were no significant changes in the crude protein (CP), crude lipid (CL), and energy contents (p > .05), significant changes were determined in the total amino acid content between groups (p < .05). The present study proved changes in the proximate, fatty acid, and amino acid composition in flesh and the negative impacts of a Kudoa species.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology publishes research papers, short communications, and review articles concerning the application of science and technology and biotechnology to all aspects of research, innovation, production, and distribution of food products originating from the marine and freshwater bodies of the world. The journal features articles on various aspects of basic and applied science in topics related to:
-harvesting and handling practices-
processing with traditional and new technologies-
refrigeration and freezing-
packaging and storage-
safety and traceability-
byproduct utilization-
consumer attitudes toward aquatic food.
The Journal also covers basic studies of aquatic products as related to food chemistry, microbiology, and engineering, such as all flora and fauna from aquatic environs, including seaweeds and underutilized species used directly for human consumption or alternative uses. Special features in the journal include guest editorials by specialists in their fields and book reviews covering a wide range of topics.
