Unravelling the epigenetic mechanisms underlying nutritional programming for sustainable aquaculture
Aquaculture supplies half of the fish consumed by humans, being the fastest growing food production sector worldwide. Reducing the use of fishery products in aquafeed by replacing them with more sustainable ingredients is a must to reach sustainability and meet future global food needs. In this sense, nutritional programming is a promising strategy with potential to increase production efficiency and fish health and minimize environmental impact. Epigenetics is thought to be responsible for the beneficial effects of early nutritional intervention, but, the mechanisms by which different types of nutritional interventions induce epigenetic modifications, and which ones they induce is largely…
