不同工艺提取鳀蛋白质原料对黄颡鱼生长性能和生理健康的影响

[目的]为了比较不同生产工艺得到的酶解鳀鱼浆（HFP）、鳀鱼鱼溶浆（SW）、酶解鳀鱼鱼溶浆（HSW）、低温烘干鳀鱼粉（L-FM）和常规烘干鳀鱼粉（H-FM）在饲料中的应用效果 。[方法]以初始体重为（17.69±0.09）g的黄颡鱼幼鱼为养殖对象 ,以30%的秘鲁超级蒸汽鱼粉（FM组）为对照,在试验日粮中分别添加酶解鳀鱼浆、鳀鱼鱼溶浆、酶解鳀鱼鱼溶浆、低温烘干鳀鱼粉和常规烘干鳀鱼粉,经过8周池塘网箱养殖试验,比较5种不同生产工艺得到的鳀鱼蛋白质原料对黄颡鱼生长性能的影响。其中,酶解鳀鱼浆在日粮中的添加量为FM组中鱼粉蛋白质量的25%（HFP25组）、45%（HFP45组）和65%（HFP65组）三个剂量梯度;以酶解鳀鱼浆组（HFP45组）添加的酶解鳀鱼浆蛋白含量为基准,与相同蛋白含量的鳀鱼鱼溶浆（SW组）和酶解鳀鱼鱼溶浆（HSW组）进行生长比较;低温烘干鳀鱼粉和常规烘干鳀鱼粉添加量为30%;以上共计8组等氮等脂 日粮,每组设置3个重复,每个重复40尾。[结果]试验结果显示：1）与FM组相比,L-FM和H-FM组的SGR和FCR均无显著差异（P>0.05）;2）以FM组为对照,HFP25试验组的SGR降低了3.30%,FCR升高了5.36%,无显著差异（P>0.05）,而HFP45和HFP65组的SGR分别降低了10.99%、20.33%,FCR分别升高了21.43%、41.96%,差异显著（P<0.05）,并且随着日粮中HFP添加量的增加,SGR、蛋白沉积率（PRR）和脂肪沉积率（FRR）均呈现下降趋势,差异显著（P<0.05）;3）HFP45、SW、HSW三组试验饲料的结果为：HFP具有最高的SGR,而SW的SGR最低,差异不显著（P<0.05）。经酶解处理后的HSW相比SW组SGR升高了2.25%,差异不显著（P>0.05）,体组成方面,鱼体水分、蛋白、脂肪和总磷含量变化不显著（P>0.05）,灰分变化显著（P<0.05）。[结论]研究表明：秘鲁超级蒸汽鱼粉（FM）、低温烘干鳀鱼粉（L-FM）和常规烘干鳀鱼粉（H-FM）在黄颡鱼生长性能和饲料利用效率方面无显著性差异,但低温烘干鳀鱼粉在黄颡鱼鱼体健康方面优于常规烘干鳀鱼粉;在黄颡鱼日粮中实际添加7.1%的酶解鳀鱼浆可以完全替代30%的鱼粉, 在鱼体生长速度、饲料效率和血清指标等方面具有一定的等效性;日粮中过高添加量的酶解鳀鱼浆会导致黄颡鱼生长速度和饲料效率的下降;不同酶解蛋白原料中,酶解鳀鱼浆（HFP）对黄颡鱼的生长效果最好,鳀鱼鱼溶浆（SW）生长效果最差。此外,经酶解处理后的酶解鳀鱼鱼溶浆（HSW）要优于鳀鱼鱼溶浆（SW）。     

不同蛋白水解物对花鲈(Lateolabrax japonicus)生长性能及非特异性免疫的影响

实验以基础饲料组[含30%鱼粉蛋白(FM)]为对照组,用鱼蛋白水解物(FPH)、猪血蛋白水解物(PBPH)、酵母蛋白水解物(YPH)和豆粕蛋白水解物(SPH)分别替代配方中10%的鱼粉蛋白,配制成5组等氮等脂的饲料,喂养初始平均体重为31.99 g的花鲈(Lateolabrax japonicus)8周,探讨饲料中不同蛋白水解物对花鲈生长、饲料利用、体组成成分及非特异性免疫的影响。结果显示:各处理组实验鱼存活率在97.78%–98.89%之间,没有显著性差异(P0.05);FPH组与FM组的末重和特定生长率最高,两者之间没有显著差异(P0.05),但显著高于PBPH组、SPH组和YPH组(P0.05);FPH组饲料效率高于FM组、PBPH组和YPH组(P0.05),且显著高于SPH组(P0.05);各实验处理组鲈鱼摄食率没有显著差异(P0.05);FPH组蛋白效率比显著高于FM组、PBPH组、SPH组和YPH组(P0.05);FPH组、FM组和YPH组的蛋白质沉积率显著高于PBPH组和SPH组(P0.05)。饲料中添加FPH和YPH会显著增加花鲈肝脏和血清中碱性磷酸酶、酸性磷酸酶、超氧化物歧化酶、溶菌酶活性和总抗氧化能力,显著高于FM组、PBPH组和SPH组(P0.05)。FPH组的花鲈鱼体粗蛋白含量高于FM组和YPH组,但差异不显著(P0.05),FPH组显著高于PBPH组和SPH组(P0.05)。综上所述,4种不同蛋白水解物替代鱼粉后投喂花鲈幼鱼,鱼蛋白水解物效果最好,其次是酵母蛋白水解物、猪血蛋白水解物和豆粕蛋白水解物。

日粮中添加鱼溶浆粉和鱼油对草鱼生长、肝脏脂肪含量和血清理化指标的影响

本实验探讨以猪肉粉为动物蛋白源的草鱼日粮中添加鱼溶浆粉和鱼油以补充鱼类所需的部分生长因子,对草鱼生长、肝脏脂肪含量和血清理化指标的影响,以期达到节约鱼粉的目的。在实用配方模式下,设计6种等氮等能饲料,分别是添加6%猪肉粉(6P)、3%猪肉粉+3%鱼溶浆粉(3P3SW)、6%鱼溶浆粉(6SW)、3%猪肉粉+3%鱼溶浆粉+2%鱼油(3P3SW2O)、6%鱼溶浆粉+2%鱼油(6SW2O)和6%鱼粉(6F,对照)。在池塘网箱中饲喂(80.0±2.0)g的草鱼72 d。结果表明,6P和6F在SGR、FCR、PRR、ERR和HSI方面均无显著差异(P>0.05)。添加鱼溶浆粉后,3P3SW、6SW与6F相比,SGR提高了9.1%～9.6%,FCR下降了8.5%～11.2%,差异显著(P<0.05),但3P3SW和6SW无显著差异(P>0.05),同时,在PRR、FRR和ERR方面,3P3SW、6SW均有一定程度提高。添加鱼油后,3P3SW2O、6SW2O和3P3SW、6SW比,SGR分别下降了9.7%、15.4%,FCR分别上升了6.9%、31.1%,除3P3SW2O和3P3SW的FCR之外,其余差异显著(P<0.05);在PRR和ERR方面,3P3SW2O、6SW2O均有一定程度下降;同时,3P3SW2O、6SW2O的FRR和肝脏粗脂肪含量都出现不同程度增高,HSI增大,血清TBA、CHOL、HDL和LDL与肝脏粗脂肪呈现出相同趋势,且上述指标均是6SW2O组最高,与其余各组均存在显著差异(P<0.05)。此外,在对饲料中游离氨基酸和生物胺与FCR和SGR的相关性分析中,发现游离Lys、Tau和Put与FCR和SGR的Pearsion相关系数都大于0.8,且符合二次函数关系。因此,鱼溶浆粉对草鱼的促生长作用优于鱼粉,在无鱼粉日粮中添加少量的鱼溶浆粉能满足草鱼需求,节约鱼粉用量,这种促生长作用与饲料中游离Lys、Tau和Put的关系密切;由于鱼油促使脂肪在体内和肝脏沉积,加重肝脏脂质代谢负担,加上其易氧化变质特性,限制了它在水产饲料中的使用。     

大豆小肽蛋白替代鱼粉对黄颡鱼幼鱼生长性能、消化酶活性和抗氧化功能的影响

为研究大豆小肽蛋白替代鱼粉对黄颡鱼(Pelteobagrus fulvidraco)生长性能、体成分、消化酶活性和抗氧化功能的影响,以30%鱼粉组为对照组(A0),大豆小肽蛋白分别替代17%、33%和50%的鱼粉作为实验组(A17、A33和A50),配制4种等氮配合饲料。每组设置4个重复,每个重复饲喂30尾平均体重为(3.7±0.6) g的黄颡鱼幼鱼,进行为期80 d的饲养实验。结果显示,A17组生长性能与对照组无显著差异(P>0.05),A33组除增重率(WGR)显著高于对照组外(P<0.05),其余指标均与对照组无显著差异(P>0.05)。A50组饵料系数(FCR)显著高于对照组和其他实验组(P<0.05),增重率、特定生长率(SGR)及蛋白质效率(PER)显著低于对照组和其他实验组(P<0.05)。各实验组肥满度(CF)和脏体比(VSI)与对照组无显著差异(P>0.05)。大豆小肽蛋白替代鱼粉对黄颡鱼全鱼水分、灰分和粗蛋白含量无显著影响(P<0.05);然而,当大豆小肽蛋白替代鱼粉水平从33%升高至50%时,鱼体粗脂肪含量显著降低(P<0.05)。各实验组肠脂肪酶和肠淀粉酶活性显著高于对照组(P<0.05),A33和A50组胃淀粉酶显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。大豆小肽蛋白替代鱼粉对黄颡鱼肝胰脏丙二醛(MDA)活性无影响。综上所述,黄颡鱼配合饲料中鱼粉替代量小于33%时,黄颡鱼生长性能最佳,且对鱼体肝脏抗氧化功能无不利影响。本研究首次探究大豆小肽蛋白替代鱼粉对黄颡鱼生长等的影响,以期为黄颡鱼饲料配制和大豆小肽蛋白的使用等提供参考。     

鱼蛋白水解物对泥鳅生长、存活及消化酶活性的影响

为研究不同水平的鱼蛋白水解物对泥鳅仔鱼生长、存活及消化酶活性的影响,以初始体长为(4.978±0.148)mm,体质量为(0.907±0.076)mg的2日龄泥鳅仔鱼为试验对象,用鱼粉蛋白水解物(FPH)替代饲料中0%(对照组)、10%、20%、30%、45%(试验组)的鱼粉蛋白进行了21 d养殖试验。试验结果:不同水平的鱼蛋白水解物对泥鳅仔鱼的生长、存活及消化酶活性有显著影响。随着替代水平的升高,特定生长率(SGR)表现为先上升后下降的趋势,10%替代水平组的SGR最高,显著高于其余各组(P0.05);10%替代水平组的肥满度最大,显著高于对照组(P0.05)。碱性磷酸酶呈先上升后下降的趋势,10%替代水平组有最大值;胃蛋白酶活性和胰蛋白酶活性有相同的变化趋势,最大的酶活性值均出现在10%替代水平组,显著高于对照组(P0.05)。仔鱼的成活率随着替代水平的升高呈先上升后下降的趋势,且10%替代水平组的成活率最高(63.9%),显著高于对照组(46.7%)和45%替代水平组(39.3%)(P0.05)。结果表明,泥鳅仔鱼饲料中鱼粉蛋白水解物替代鱼粉蛋白的最适水平为10%。     

蟋蟀粉替代鱼粉对黄颡鱼幼鱼生长性能、肌肉氨基酸组成和血清生化指标的影响

为研究蟋蟀(Gryllus bimaculatus)粉替代鱼粉对黄颡鱼(Pelteobagrus fulvidraco)幼鱼生长性能、肌肉成分和血清生化指标的影响,以黄颡鱼幼鱼[(2.0±0.13) g]为研究对象,分别使用蟋蟀粉替代0 (对照组)、15%、30%、45%和60%的鱼粉配制成5组等氮等能的实验饲料,分别记为T0、T15、T30、T45和T60组。实验幼鱼在室内循环水系统进行为期10周的养殖实验。结果显示,随着蟋蟀粉替代量的增加,黄颡鱼幼鱼生长呈先增加后降低的趋势;T30组的终末均重(FBW)、增重率(WGR)和特定生长率(SGR)最高,且均显著高于T0组;T30组的饲料系数(FCR)显著低于T0和T15组;T30的肝体比(HSI)显著高于T0和T15,而与T45和T60组无显著差异。与T0组相比,各替代组的脏体比(VSI)、摄食量(FI)、肥满度(CF)和成活率(SR)均无显著差异。黄颡鱼幼鱼肌肉必需氨基酸(EAA)含量中,T60组肌肉中精氨酸(Arg)和缬氨酸(Val)含量显著高于T0组;且蟋蟀粉替代不同比例的鱼粉对黄颡鱼幼鱼肌肉中的总呈味氨基酸(TFAA)含量均未产生显著影响。T30、T45和T60组血清中的葡萄糖(GLU)含量显著高于T0组;相反,其总胆固醇(TCHO)含量显著低于T0组。在本研究条件下,蟋蟀粉替代不同比例的鱼粉不影响黄颡鱼幼鱼的生长性能和肌肉氨基酸含量,且能增加血清GLU和降低TCHO含量,以30%的蟋蟀粉替代鱼粉比例能生长最佳,且优于对照组。本研究对揭示蟋蟀粉在黄颡鱼饲料中替代鱼粉应用的可行性、为今后昆虫蛋白源在水产饲料中的开发提供科学依据。     

大菱鲆利用水解鱼蛋白和牛蛙蛋白的差异

为探究大菱鲆对不同来源水解蛋白的利用效率,实验选取太平洋狭鳕和牛蛙下脚料为蛋白来源,分别制备水解鱼蛋白和水解牛蛙蛋白,以初始体重为(8.00±0.01) g的大菱鲆为研究对象,进行为期56 d的养殖实验。实验设2个对照组,正对照组(PC)鱼粉含量为35.0%,负对照组(NC)鱼粉含量为26.5%;设2个实验组,水解鱼组(FPH)为26.5%的鱼粉和8.0%的水解鱼蛋白,水解牛蛙组(BPH)为26.5%的鱼粉和9.5%的水解牛蛙蛋白。结果显示,FPH组的终末体重、增重率和特定生长率显著高于BPH组和NC组,与PC组无显著差异。摄食6 h后,食糜必需氨基酸中赖氨酸、精氨酸、苏氨酸和缬氨酸在BPH组的含量显著高于PC组;多数非必需氨基酸在BPH组含量最高,但无显著差异。质子偶联氨基酸转运载体PAT1和小肽转运载体PepT1的mRNA表达量分别在FPH组和BPH组都显著高于PC组和NC组;碱性氨基酸转运载体CAT1和y⁺L型氨基酸转运载体y⁺LAT2的mRNA表达量在各处理组中无显著差异。研究表明,在饲料中添加鳕和牛蛙蛋白水解物均能提高大菱鲆的生长性...

以初始平均体重为38.80±0.11g的牙鲆Paralichth ys olivaceus为实验对象,研究在高植物蛋白饲料中用低分子水解蛋白替代鱼粉对牙鲆生长、饲料利用及非特异性免疫指标的影响.分别以不同水解鱼蛋白替代总蛋白的0(FM1为负对照,含豆粕55％、鱼粉19％)、0(FM2为正对照,含豆粕45％、鱼粉25％)、11％(FPH11)、16％(FPH16)、21％ (FPH21)、26％ (FPH26)制得7组等氮等能饲料.实验结果表明,用低分子水解鱼蛋白替代总蛋白11％组的特定生长率显著高于负对照组(P＜0.05),且与正对照组无显著性差异(P＞0.05);FPH11、FPH16、FPH21和FPH26组的摄食率显著高于负对照组(P＜0.05);替代总蛋白11％组的蛋白沉积率显著高于负对照组(P＜0.05),与正对照组相等(P＞0.05);替代水解蛋白各组的蛋白质消化率均显著性高于负对照组(P＜0.05),与正对照组无显著性差异(P＞0.05);替代水解蛋白各组的SOD活力都显著高于负对照组(P＜0.05),且替代总蛋白11％组显著性高于正对照组;FPH6、FPH11、FPH16组的总抗氧化能力显著高于负对照组但显著低于正对照组(P＜0.05).     

鱼粉水解物中小肽对幼龄草鱼生长性能的影响

用150尾3.74±0.23 g的草鱼作日粮中鱼粉水解物中小肽对幼龄草鱼生长性能影响研究。实验分为2 组,每组75尾鱼,每25尾鱼饲于0.25m3的水族箱中,每组设3个平行水族箱。试验组日粮中添加0.5%鱼粉水解物 0.5%鱼粉,对照组为1%鱼粉,试验期56 d。结果表明,试验组草鱼其特定生长率、蛋白保留效率、饲料系数和血浆中镁含量与小肽总量均显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。草鱼日粮中添加一定比例的鱼粉水解物小肽可提高饲料表观消化率和蛋白消化率,增加血液循环中生物活性肽的含量,增加体内氮沉积,减少肝胰脏和肠系膜脂肪储积,从而提高机体对日粮中蛋白质的利用率。     

Effect of low molecular weight fish protein hydrolysate on growth performance and IGF‐I expression in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) fed high plant protein diets

Seven isonitrogenous and isoenergetic experimental diets were formulated to investigate the effect of low molecular weight fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) in diets on growth performance, feed utilization and liver IGF‐I mRNA levels in Japanese flounder (38.80 ± 1.11 g) fed with high plant protein diets. Fish meal protein was, respectively, replaced by 6% (FPH6), 11% (FPH11), 16% (FPH16), 21% (FPH21), 26% (FPH26) FPH of total dietary protein. FPH diets contained a constant high level of plant protein (690 g kg^?1) from soybean meal. As a positive control diet, FM2 contained about 590 g kg^?1 plant protein and 410 g kg^?1 fish meal protein, while negative control diet FM1 contained about 690 g kg^?1 plant protein and 310 g kg^?1 fish meal protein. The expression levels of liver IGF‐I mRNA were evaluated using real‐time PCR normalized against the 18S rRNA gene. The results showed that moderate low molecular weight FPH (FPH11) improved growth performance and protein retention. Fish fed with FPH11 and control diet FM2 had similar growth and feed utilization, while high‐level low molecular weight FPH did not improve growth performance and protein retention, and depressed liver IGF‐I mRNA expression in Japanese flounder.     

Nutrient utilization in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) fed increased levels of fish protein hydrolysate during a period of fast growth

The present work was designed to study whether changes in dietary protein quality by means of partial inclusion of fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) would alter fish growth, feed utilization, protein retention and metabolism and fish health in general. FPH was produced after hydrolysing whole minced herring using the industrial enzyme Alcalase®. The dietary protein source, low‐temperature‐dried (LT) fishmeal nitrogen was exchanged with FPH nitrogen at six levels of inclusion ranging from 0 to 300 g kg^?1. The experimental diets were fed to post‐smolt (1+) Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), with mean initial weight of 174 g for a period of 68 days. All diets were iso‐nitrogenous, iso‐energetic and contained the same amount of amino acids. Fish fed medium inclusion of FPH (180–240 g kg^?1) showed a tendency to have higher feed intake than fish fed lower and higher levels of FPH inclusions. Significant higher individual specific growth rates were present in fish fed diets with 180 and 240 g kg^?1 FPH when compared with those fed 300 g kg^?1. Feed conversion ratio increased significantly (R² = 0.61) and protein efficiency ratio decreased significantly (R² = 0.59) in fish fed increased levels of FPH. Further, apparent digestibility of crude protein and the amino acids arginine, lysine, methionine and phenylalanine increased significantly with increased dietary inclusion of FPH. Plasma free amino acids, ammonium and urea indicated that FPH amino acids was absorbed earlier and nonsynchronously, and may thus be more prone to be catabolized than in those fish fed the less solubilized protein. FPH inclusion did not have an impact on fish health, as evaluated by haematology and clinical parameters.     

Effects of Dietary Supplements on Growth Performance and Phosphorus Waste Production of Australian Catfish,Tandanus tandanus,Fed with Diets Containing Soybean Meal as Fishmeal Replacement

Effects of dietary phytase, amino acid (AA), and inorganic phosphorus (P) in soybean meal (SBM) diets on the growth, feed utilization, and P waste of Australian catfish, Tandanus tandanus, were evaluated. In Experiment 1, SBM replaced 30% of fishmeal (FM) protein in the four test diets, supplemented with phytase (1000–3000 FTU/kg). In Experiment 2, SBM replaced 45% of FM protein in the four test diets, supplemented with phytase, AAs, inorganic P, or their combinations. Inclusion of 3000 FTU/kg significantly improved growth performance and feed utilization of catfish. Ortho‐P waste was significantly lower in fish fed with SBM diets. At 30% FM protein replacement, dietary SBM did not reduce the total P waste of catfish while dietary phytase significantly did. At 45% FM protein replacement, phytase alone did not significantly improve the growth and feed utilization of catfish fed with SBM diets while significantly better results were obtained when both phytase and AAs were supplemented. Dietary inclusion of inorganic P significantly decreased P utilization and increased P waste of the fish. Dietary phytase significantly improved P utilization of catfish in both experiments.     

Partial and total replacement of fishmeal by a blend of animal and plant proteins in diets for Seriola dumerili: Effects on performance and nutrient efficiency

A 154‐day trial was performed to assess the use of an alternative protein blend (corn gluten, krill and meat meal) as a substitute for fishmeal in diets for juvenile yellowtail, using four isolipidic (140 g/kg) and isoenergetic diets (24 MJ/kg) with the same digestible protein content (50%). The control diet was FM100, without replacement, and in FM66, FM33 and FM0, fishmeal was replaced at 33 g/kg, 66 g/kg and 100 g/kg, respectively. At the end of the experiment, no differences in growth parameters were observed. Fish fed the FM0 diet exhibited the lowest survival (23%). This high mortality may be due to different factors, such as a dietary amino acid imbalance or some antinutrient factors contained in the alternative ingredients. Feed intake, feed conversion ratio, digestible protein intake and protein efficiency ratio were similar in all diets. However, digestible energy intake and protein efficiency retention were lowest in fish fed the FM0 diet. Apparent digestibility coefficients for protein, energy and amino acids diminished as a substitution for fishmeal increased. Significant differences were observed in the diet whole‐fish body profile amino acid retention (AAR) ratio for the seven essential amino acids. In summary, total fishmeal replacement by the blend assayed was not feasible for yellowtail. The FM66 diet resulted in good growth, high survival and good nutrient efficiency.     

Partial or total replacement of fish meal by local agricultural by‐products in diets of juvenile African catfish (Clarias gariepinus): growth performance,feed efficiency and digestibility

The study was undertaken to evaluate the growth performance and feed utilization of African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, fed six diets (D) in which fishmeal (FM) was gradually replaced by a mixture of local plant by‐products. In diets 1 and 2, FM (250 g kg^?1) was replaced by sunflower oil cake (SFOC). In diets 3 and 4, FM (250 and 150 g kg^?1, respectively) was replaced by SFOC and bean meal (BM) while FM was totally substituted by a mixture of groundnut oil cake (GOC), BM and SFOC in diets 5 and 6. Sunflower oil cake was cooked, soaked or dehulled in order to determine the appropriate processing techniques for improving the SFOC nutritive value and to evaluate the apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) values of the alternative diets. No significant differences were observed for daily feed intake, weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR) and feed efficiency (FE) among fish fed D1, D2, D3 (250 g kg^?1 FM), D4 (150 g kg^?1 FM) and D6 (0 g kg^?1 FM). The highest SGR (3.2% per day) and FE (1.2) were achieved in fish fed D3, and the lowest in fish fed D5 (0% FM), suggesting a maximum acceptable dietary concentration of hulled SFOC below 250 g kg^?1 in African catfish juveniles. Protein efficiency ratio ranged from 2.2 to 3.2 for all dietary treatments and was positively influenced by FM inclusion. African catfish were able to digest plant protein very efficiently in all diets tested. ADC of protein ranged from 88.6 to 89.5%, while ADC of energy was relatively low for diets containing hulled sunflower oilcake (71–74%) and high when sunflower oilcake was dehulled (78.6–81.3%). Similarly, ADC of dry matter was higher when sunflower was dehulled (72.1%) when compared with crude SFOC (60.5%). Soaking increased ADC values for neutral detergent fibre (NDF), dry matter, energy, protein and amino acids (AA). There were no significant differences in protein ADCs (88–90%) with increased levels of dietary vegetable ingredients. Both soaking and dehulling of sunflower before incorporation helped in the reduction of NDF, antitrypsin and tannins. Digestibility of all AA was generally high, greater than 90% for both indispensable and non‐indispensable AA. Based on the data obtained, it was possible to totally replace menhaden fish meal with a mixture of vegetable proteins (72% of total dietary protein) when diets contained a relatively low percentage of animal protein (28% based on blood meal and chicken viscera meal) without negative effects.     

Taurine alone or in combination with fish protein hydrolysate affects growth performance,taurine transport and metabolism in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of taurine (Tau) alone or in combination with fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) on growth performance, the expression of Tau transporter (TauT) and metabolic profile in juvenile turbot. FM, FPH0, FPH0+T, FPH10 and FPH10+T diets, respectively, contained 300, 150, 150, 80, and 80 g/kg fishmeal. FPH10 and FPH10+T diets contained 62 g/kg FPH. FPH0+T and FPH10+T diets were, respectively, prepared by supplementing the FPH0 and FPH10 diet formulations with 8 g/kg Tau. Specific growth rate was the highest in FM group and the lowest in FPH10 group. TauT mRNA levels in fish fed Tau supplemented diets were significantly lower than that in Tau unsupplemented diets. NMR‐based metabolomics analysis showed that Tau contents in liver of FPH0+T and FPH10+T were significantly higher than that of FM, FPH0 and FPH10. In muscle, Tau contents were significantly decreased in the FPH10+T versus FPH0 and the FPH10+T versus FPH10 comparisons. In conclusion, 62 g/kg FPH to replace fishmeal may not affect Tau synthesis, transport and metabolism. However, Tau supplemented alone or in combination with a certain level of FPH could reduce the requirement for Tau synthesis and transport and increased Tau levels in muscle and liver.     

Replacement of fishmeal by two types of fish protein hydrolysate in feed for postlarval shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

After filleting of tilapia, the material remaining is discarded and this waste represents about 700 g/kg of fish body volume, corresponding to carcass and viscera. These leftovers are important sources of proteins that can be used as feed in aquaculture industry by producing protein hydrolysates. In this study, two protein hydrolysates of tilapia were produced, with one (FPH1) and two (FPH2) hours of hydrolysis. The nutritional composition of the hydrolysates showed desirable levels of crude protein and essential amino acids. Electrophoresis revealed peptides ranging from 10 to 250 kDa. In addition, caseinolytic activity was recorded by zymogram. The hydrolysates were incorporated separately in experimental diets to replace fishmeal at distinct levels: 0, 40, 80 and 120 g/kg, totalizing seven diets named 0 (control), 40H₁, 80H₁, 120H₁, 40H₂, 80H₂ and 120H₂. A 45‐day feeding trial was carried out to evaluate the zootechnical performance of postlarvae fed these diets. In conclusion, the use of FPH2 as a substitute for fishmeal promotes better shrimp growth than FPH1 and allows higher levels of substitution. In addition, it is recommended a 60 g/kg fishmeal replacement by FPH2 to improve growth.     

Application of different types of protein hydrolysate in high plant protein diets for juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)

A 10‐week feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different types of dietary protein hydrolysate (PH) on growth performance, body composition, trypsin activity and serum transaminase of juvenile turbot. Four high plant protein diets contained different types of PH, fish PH (FPH), yeast PH (YPH), pig blood PH (PBPH) and soy PH (SPH), replacing 10% fishmeal of the basal diet. The basal diet with 30% fishmeal and no PH was used as the control diet (C). Each diet was assigned to triplicate groups of 30 fish. The specific growth rate (SGR) was not significantly different between groups C and FPH, but groups C and FPH showed significantly higher SGR than other groups. The feed efficiency ratio (FER) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) were not significantly different among groups C, FPH and YPH, but groups PBPH and SPH showed significantly lower FER and PER than groups C and FPH. Group PBPH showed significantly higher hepatosomatic index than other groups except YPH. Fish fed YPH showed significantly lower whole‐body protein content, but significantly higher whole‐body lipid content than fish fed diets C, FPH and PBPH. The activities of serum GOT and GPT in group PBPH were higher than those in groups C, FPH and YPH. These results suggested that when used at a low level in high plant protein diets for juvenile turbot, FPH is a good alternative protein source and YPH also has the application potential, but PBPH and SPH can cause negative impacts on fish growth and health.
