Hepatic miRNA regulation by dietary carbohydrates in trout

In order to improve the sustainability of salmonid aquaculture, it is now essential to reduce dietary levels of fish meal by replacement with alternative and terrestrial plant products, and particularly digestible carbohydrates, in the aquafeed formula. However, when fishmeal is substituted at more than 20% by digestible carbohydrates, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), the economically most important freshwater finfish species in France and Canada, display persistent postprandial hyperglycaemia defining it as a glucose-intolerant (GI) species.
