I-Betaine, igama lamakhemikhali i-trimethylglycine, isisekelo sezinto eziphilayo esikhona ngokwemvelo emizimbeni yezilwane nezitshalo. Inokuncibilika okuqinile kwamanzi kanye nomsebenzi webhayoloji, futhi isakazeka emanzini ngokushesha,ukuhehaukunakwa kwezinhlanzi kanye nokuthuthukisa ukukhanga kwe-bait yokudoba.

Ucwaningo luveze lokhoi-betainekungandisa isifiso sokudla izinhlanzi ngokuphumelelayo, kunciphise ukuphaphama kwazo, futhi kwandise amathuba okuluma izingwegwe.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, indlela yokusebenzisai-betainefuthi kuyisici esibalulekile esithinta ukusebenza kahle kwayo. Ingangezwa ku-bait noma ihlanganiswe nezinye izikhanga zezinhlanzi ngokuqondile ukuze kuthuthukiswe umphumela wokuheha izinhlanzi. Ukulungisa umthamo we-betaine ngokuya ngezinhlobo zezinhlanzi ezahlukene kanye nezizathu zokudoba ukuze kuzuzwe umphumela omuhle kakhulu wokuheha izinhlanzi.

Ngokukhethekile ku-tilapia, i-betaine ibonise imiphumela emihle kukho kokubili i-aquaculture kanye nezicelo zokudoba.
Mayelana ne-aquaculture, i-betaine ingangena esikhundleni se-choline ekudleni, ikhuthaze ukukhula kwe-tilapia, ithuthukise izinga lokuguqulwa kokuphakelayo, futhi yehlise izinga lokufa.
Ezicelweni zokudoba,i-betaineidonsa izinhlanzi ngokunambitheka okukhethekile, futhi i-tilapia inempendulo enhle ku-betaine, engathuthukisa kakhulu izinga lokuphumelela lokudoba.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-betaine nayo inemiphumela yokulwa nokucindezeleka, engagcina ukudla okunomsocoi-tilapiangaphansi kwezimo zesifo noma ingcindezi, nciphisa izimo ezithile noma ukusabela kwengcindezi, futhi uthuthukise amazinga okusinda.

Ekuphetheni,I-Betainekunomthelela omkhulu ekuheheni i-tilapia, hhayi kuphela ekukhuthazeni ukukhula kwayo kanye nokwenza ngcono izinga lokuguqulwa kokuphakelayo, kodwa futhi ithuthukisa ukukhanga kwayo ngesikhathi sokudoba.

Kuyisithasiselo esisebenzayo emisebenzini ye-aquaculture kanye nokudoba.
