Fish Waste Management: Treatment Methods Based on the Use of Microorganisms - Aquaculture Microbiology and Biotechnology - page 229

2% formic acid (w/v) and 2% sulphuric acid (w/v) to the above mixtures
caused the production of acid silages ( Fig. 9.2 ) . In addition, acid silages
had higher protein content 69.91% (SW), 44.38% (FW) and 39.59% (TR),
compared to fermented silages, 59.61% (SW), 42.09% (FW) and 35.84%
(TR), respectively. Furthermore, the levels of histidine, threonine and
serine were increased, whereas the levels of valine, isoleucine, and leucine
were decreased in all products (Vidotti et al . , 2003).
Table 9.4 provides a synoptical presentation of treatment methods
based on the use of Lactobacillus sp. for fi sh waste remediation (parameters,
quality control and results).
