The incresing use of alternative raw materials for aquafeeds, including oils and proteins of plants origin, can introduce contaminants previously not associated with fish farming, such as mycotoxins. In particular, Ochratoxin A (OTA), a mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium species with nephrotoxic, carcinogenic and teratogenic potential, has been found in several food commodities, including cereals, and can be present in food of animal origin due to carryover. Therefore, utilization of fish feeds contaminated with OTA can result in bioaccumulation and bioconcentration in fish tissues.

Abstract
The incresing use of alternative raw materials for aquafeeds, including oils and proteins of plants origin, can introduce contaminants previously not associated with fish farming, such as mycotoxins. In particular, Ochratoxin A (OTA), a mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium species with nephrotoxic, carcinogenic and teratogenic potential, has been found in several food commodities, including cereals, and can be present in food of animal origin due to carryover. Therefore, utilization of fish feeds contaminated with OTA can result in bioaccumulation and bioconcentration in fish tissues.File in questo prodotto:
