饲料脂肪水平对吉富罗非鱼体脂沉积及脂肪酸组成的影响

研究了饲料脂肪水平对吉富罗非鱼(Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapia,GIFT)的部分形体指标、肌肉肝脏及腹腔脂肪组织的脂肪沉积及脂肪酸组成的影响,同时探讨了鱼体对饲料脂肪酸的吸收利用能力.实验设置饲料脂肪水平分别为1.73%,3.71%,5.69%,7.67%,9.64%,16.55%共6个梯度组,每组3个重复,饲养90 d.结果显示:5.69%,7.67%及9.64%脂肪组吉富罗非鱼肥满度较高1.73%和16.55%脂肪组的肝体指数显著高于其他实验组(P<0.05);除了1.73%脂肪组,其他各组中饲料脂肪水平越高,鱼体的脏体指数越高.7.67%脂肪组吉富罗非鱼肌肉脂肪含量显著高于3.71%组(P<0.05),同时显著低于16.55%组(P<0.05),但是其肝脏中脂肪含量与其他各组差异均不显著(P>0.05);饲料脂肪水平越高,鱼体的脂肪含量越高,同时不饱和脂肪酸在总脂肪酸中的比例越高.结果表明,饲料脂肪水平影响吉富罗非鱼的部分形体指标,尤其对肝脏形态的影响较为明显.饲料中过多的脂肪容易在肌肉和肝脏组织中沉积,同时鱼体的脂肪含量和脂肪酸组成能够反映饲料的脂肪水平和脂肪酸组成.本研究旨在为饲料脂肪水平的合理设置及脂肪营养对脂肪代谢的调控提供参考.     

吉富罗非鱼与奥利亚罗非鱼完全双列杂交后代生长性能与肌肉营养成分的比较

以吉富罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus)与奥利亚罗非鱼(O.aureus)为繁育亲本,采用完全杂交进行配组,分别对吉富罗非鱼奥利亚罗非鱼纯繁与正反交后代生长性能和肌肉营养成分进行了比较,并且研究了脂代谢相关基因mRNA水平与肌肉脂肪含量的相关性。将初始规格基本一致的4组F1罗非鱼饲养100 d后,吉富罗非鱼纯繁组F1特定生长率最高(P0.05),吉富罗非鱼奥利亚正反交组合无显著差异(P0.05),奥利亚纯繁组F1特定生长率最低(P0.05)。同时,奥利亚纯繁组F1的饲料转化率、肝体比与内脏比指数显著高于其他实验组(P0.05)。各实验组水分、灰分与粗蛋白含量间无显著差异(P0.05),吉富纯繁组F1的粗脂肪含量显著高于其他组合(P0.05)。奥利亚纯繁组F1的必需氨基酸、呈味氨基酸与氨基酸总含量均显著低于其他实验组(P0.05),4组F1的肌肉必需氨基酸组成均符合FAO/WHO的标准。吉富纯繁组F1的饱和脂肪酸、单不饱和脂肪酸、多不饱和脂肪酸以及n-6多不饱和脂肪酸含量均显著高于正反交组合与奥利亚纯繁组F1(P0.05)。肌肉FAS、LPL、HSL和G6PD mRNA水平与脂肪含量的相关性分析表明,FAS与G6PD mRNA水平与肌肉脂肪含量呈负相关,相关系数(R2)分别为0.761 5(P0.01)和0.538 7(P0.05);LPL和HSL mRNA水平与肌肉脂肪含量呈正相关,相关系数分别为0.782 5(P0.01)和0.562 4(P0.05)。研究结果表明,奥利亚纯繁组F1的生长与肌肉营养成分明显劣于其他实验组,证明杂交能够提高后代的生长性能,改良肌肉品质,增加选育的综合效果。同时,吉富罗非鱼奥利亚正反交组合间LPL与G6PD mRNA水平间无显著差异(P0.05),增加肌肉脂肪含量有助于提高LPL和HSL mRNA表达水平。     

高糖饲料对吉富罗非鱼生长性能、饲料利用和糖脂代谢的影响

为探讨高糖饲料对吉富罗非鱼(GIFT Oreochromis niloticus)生长性能、饲料利用和糖脂代谢的影响,设置糖水平为34%的对照饲料(C组,能量水平13.68 k J·g-1)、糖水平为48%的高糖高能饲料(HCE组,能量水平16.03 k J·g-1)和高糖等能饲料(HE组,能量水平13.81 k J·g-1),在室内循环水系统中饲养初始体质量(20.34±0.42)g的吉富罗非鱼幼鱼60 d。结果表明,HCE组和HE组的增重率、特定生长率、肝脏粗蛋白均显著低于C组(P0.05),饲料系数、肝脏粗脂肪、肝糖原、总糖表观消化率、血清低密度脂蛋白胆固醇和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇均显著高于C组(P0.05);HE组增重率、全鱼粗脂肪、血清甘油三酯和总胆固醇均显著低于HCE组(P0.05);高糖组肝脏葡萄糖激酶显著高于C组,HE组葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶、苹果酸酶、脂肪酸合成酶活性最高,C组最低(P0.05);由肝脏组织切片看出,高糖饲料引起吉富罗非鱼肝脏细胞肿大变形,出现空泡,HCE组对肝脏损伤更加显著。研究结果表明,吉富罗非鱼能够耐受48%糖水平的饲料,但长期摄食导致鱼体糖脂代谢紊乱,尤其影响脂肪代谢,造成鱼体脂肪蓄积,肝功能损伤,不利于生长与健康。     

34 ℃水温下吉富罗非鱼对饲料脂肪的需求量

为研究34 ℃水温下吉富罗非鱼对饲料脂肪的需求量，选用初始体质量为(50.88±1.57) g的吉富罗非鱼360尾，随机分成6组(每组设3个重复，每重复20尾)，饲喂脂肪含量分别为0.22%(对照组)、2.83%、4.98%、7.45%、9.23%和12.47%的6种纯化饲料，在34 ℃水温下饲养56 d后，测定并分析了吉富罗非鱼的生长性能、体成分、部分血清生化和肝脏脂肪代谢酶活性等指标。结果显示，随饲料脂肪水平升高，吉富罗非鱼增重率、特定生长率、蛋白质效率与蛋白质保留率均呈现先上升后下降的趋势，饲料系数和摄食率呈现相反的趋势；12.47%实验组肝体比显著高于其他实验组，其他指标组间无显著性差异。饲料脂肪水平对吉富罗非鱼的成活率无显著影响。对照组全鱼粗脂肪含量显著低于其他实验组；当饲料脂肪含量为7.45%~12.47%时，肌肉粗脂肪含量显著高于对照组；肝脏粗脂肪含量在饲料脂肪含量为2.83%~9.23%时较对照组显著降低。血清甘油三酯和总胆固醇随饲料脂肪水平升高呈现先下降后上升的趋势；肝脏脂肪酶和脂蛋白酯酶活性随脂肪水平的增加呈上升趋势，在12.47%组达到最大值；肝脂酶的活性呈先上升再下降最后趋于稳定的趋势，在脂肪水平为2.83%时最高, 显著高于其他各组。经回归分析，在34 ℃水温下，吉富罗非鱼要获得最佳的增重率、蛋白质效率和最低饲料系数对饲料脂肪的需求量分别为4.92%、5.67%和6.49%。     

蝇蛆粉替代鱼粉对罗非鱼生长、肌肉组成和肝脏非特异性免疫指标的影响

为探讨以蝇蛆粉替代鱼粉对吉富罗非鱼生长性能、肌肉组成和肝脏非特异性免疫指标的影响,将450尾初始体质量为(80.26±7.36)g的吉富罗非鱼随机分为6组,每组3个平行,进行了饲养对比试验。试验组分别用蝇蛆粉替代基础饲料中20 %、40 %、60 %、80 %和100 %的鱼粉,对照组投喂基础饲料,养殖周期60 d。试验结果,以蝇蛆粉替代鱼粉,各替代水平组试验鱼的终末体质量、增重率、特定生长率、肥满度、成活率、饲料系数、肌肉中粗蛋白、水分含量、肝脏丙二醛含量无显著差异(P＞0.05)。除20 %替代组外,其它各试验组鱼的肝体比、脏体比与对照组相比显著降低(P＜0.05)。随着蝇蛆粉替代水平的增加,罗非鱼肌肉中粗灰分、总磷的含量显著降低(P＜0.05)。替代水平不超过40 %时,各替代组试验鱼肌肉中粗脂肪、钙及肝脏超氧化歧化酶的含量无显著差异(P＞0.05);当替代水平不小于60 %时,试验鱼肌肉中粗脂肪、钙的含量显著降低(P＜0.05),但肝脏超氧化歧化酶含量显著升高(P＜0.05)。结果表明,在本试验条件下,以生长性能、肌肉成分和肝脏非特异性免疫作为评价指标,蝇蛆粉可完全替代罗非鱼饲料中的鱼粉。     

鱼腥草对无乳链球菌引起吉富罗非鱼肝脏损伤的修复作用

为探讨池塘种植鱼腥草对无乳链球菌引起吉富罗非鱼肝脏损伤的修复作用,在养殖池塘中分别种植0%(对照组)、5%、10%和15%池塘面积的鱼腥草,养殖90 d后进行无乳链球菌人工感染,分别在感染后0、24、48和72 h采集吉富罗非鱼肝脏,进行肝脏生化、抗氧化性能、组织病理和热休克蛋白70基因(HSP 70)表达研究。结果显示,感染后48和72 h对照组肝脏谷丙转氨酶(ALT)和谷草转氨酶(AST)活性最高,种植鱼腥草各组吉富罗非鱼肝脏ALT活性在感染前后均无显著性变化,感染后72 h,10%组吉富罗非鱼肝脏AST活性已恢复到感染前水平。抗氧化指标显示,种植鱼腥草能减缓链球菌感染引起吉富罗非鱼肝脏总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)下降,显著提高肝脏中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和一氧化氮合酶(NOS)等抗氧化酶的活性,增加自由基清除能力,减少脂质过氧化丙二醛(MDA)的产生。组织病理学观察显示,对照组吉富罗非鱼感染后48 h肝窦明显淤血,肝索排列紊乱,肝细胞脂肪变性,而各种植鱼腥草组吉富罗非鱼在感染后仅表现为肝细胞明显嗜酸,肝窦轻度扩张。定量PCR结果显示,每组吉富罗非鱼肝脏HSP 70表达量在感染后都显著升高,感染后各时间点对照组吉富罗非鱼肝脏的HSP 70表达量均显著高于鱼腥草种植组。研究表明,种植鱼腥草能显著改善链球菌感染所造成的吉富罗非鱼肝脏AST和ALT上升,提高抗氧化应激能力,减轻链球菌感染引起的病理损伤;吉富罗非鱼通过肝脏HSP 70高表达促进受损蛋白质的早期修复与降解,种植鱼腥草具有抗炎作用和提高鱼体抵御病原菌的能力。     

饲料糖脂比对吉富罗非鱼生长、血液指标和肝脏糖代谢关键酶活性及基因表达的影响

为探讨糖脂比对吉富罗非鱼幼鱼生长性能、血液生化指标和肝脏糖代谢关键酶的影响,本实验设计了5种不同糖脂比(1.5、2.3、3.9、7.0、16.5)的等氮等能饲料,以吉富罗非鱼幼鱼为实验对象,进行了为期8周的饲养实验。结果显示,随饲料中糖脂比升高,吉富罗非鱼特定生长率(SGR)、增重率(WGR)和蛋白质效率(PER)先升高后降低,糖脂比为3.9和7.0时,WGR、SGR和PER最高。饵料系数(FCR)的变化趋势与此相反,在糖脂比为3.9和7.0组显著低于其他组。随着饲料糖脂比的增加,吉富罗非鱼全鱼粗脂肪含量逐渐下降,在糖脂比为16.5时达到最低水平,但仅与1.5组存在显著差异。血浆甘油三酯在糖脂比最高组也出现显著降低,血浆胆固醇同样在糖脂比最高组显著低于3.9组。然而血糖的变化趋势相反,当糖脂比为16.5时显著高于其他组。随着糖脂比的升高,吉富罗非鱼幼鱼肝脏中丙酮酸激酶(PK)的活性及mRNA表达量逐渐升高,而磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧激酶(PEPCK)的活性及mRNA表达水平则逐渐下降。根据二次回归模型得出,在等氮等能的饲料条件下,吉富罗非鱼幼鱼最适宜的糖水平和脂肪水平分别为49.69%和9.53%,其对应的糖脂比为8.4。     

吉富罗非鱼对饲料亚油酸的需要量

选用初始体重为(60.98±3.82)g的吉富罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus)630尾,随机分成7组(每组设3个重复,每个重复30尾),饲喂亚油酸含量分别为0.07%(对照组)、0.36%、0.61%、1.03%、2.00%、3.00%和4.15%的7种半纯化等能等氮饲料10周。结果表明,鱼体增重率、饲料效率、蛋白质效率和蛋白质沉积率均在亚油酸水平为1.03%时较对照组差异显著(P0.05),且均在饲料亚油酸水平为2.00%时达到最大。经二次回归分析,饲料亚油酸水平为2.49%和2.66%时吉富罗非鱼分别获得最大增重率和最高饲料效率。通过折线回归发现饲料亚油酸水平为1.02%时,吉富罗非鱼获得最大蛋白沉积。肝体比和脏体比均随亚油酸水平的升高而升高,当饲料亚油酸含量为0.61%~4.15%时显著高于对照组(P0.05)。亚油酸添加组的肌肉粗脂肪含量显著高于对照组(P0.05);当饲料亚油酸含量为1.03%~4.15%时,肝和全鱼粗脂肪含量显著高于对照组(P0.05)。随饲料亚油酸水平升高,血清甘油三酯和总胆固醇变化趋势一致,呈现先下降后上升的趋势,经二次回归分析亚油酸水平为1.63%时血清甘油三酯含量最低;各亚油酸添加组的血清高密度脂蛋白胆固醇含量显著高于对照组,且在饲料亚油酸含量为1.13%时达到最大(P0.05);当饲料亚油酸水平为1.03%~4.15%时,血清低密度脂蛋白胆固醇含量显著低于对照组(P0.05)。随饲料中饱和脂肪酸(∑SFA)含量下降,吉富罗非鱼肌肉和肝脏∑SFA含量均呈下降的趋势;随饲料亚油酸水平增加,肌肉和肝脏的n-6多不饱和脂肪酸(∑n-6 PUFA)含量呈上升趋势,肌肉和肝脏的∑n-3 PUFA含量呈下降趋势。综上所述,初始体重为(60.98±3.82)g的吉富罗非鱼饲料亚油酸需要量为1.02%~2.66%。     

饲料中添加蚕豆对吉富罗非鱼生长性能的影响

为了解饲料中添加蚕豆对吉富罗非鱼生长性能的影响，共设置2个试验组（ND和VFSD70组），ND组投喂正常罗非鱼饲料，VFSD70组投喂含70%蚕豆添加量的饲料；采用质构测试，开展对吉富罗非鱼肌肉品质的影响试验，为期60 d。结果表明，在吉富罗非鱼成长初期，投喂70%蚕豆添加量的饲料，对吉富罗非鱼生长性能与成活率均无影响，且从15 d起，对其肌肉品质产生影响，使其硬度增加，弹性降低。     

吉富罗非鱼对饲料中苯丙氨酸的需要量

分别用含6种水平(质量比分别为0.78%、0.95%、1.09%、1.34%、1.51%和1.72%)苯丙氨酸(phenylalanine,Phe)的等氮等能(粗蛋白30.10%,总能17.73 MJ/kg)饲料,在池塘网箱中(实验期间水温为24~32℃)饲喂初始体重为(52.70±1.80)g的吉富罗非鱼60 d,考察饲料Phe对吉富罗非鱼(GIFT,Oreochromis niloticus)生长性能、饲料系数、体成分、部分血清生化指标及前肠消化酶活性的影响,以期获得吉富罗非鱼对饲料苯丙氨酸的需要量。结果表明,随着饲料中Phe水平的升高,吉富罗非鱼的增重率、特定生长率、蛋白质效率、蛋白质沉积率、肥满度、肝体比和脏体比均呈现先上升后下降的趋势,饲料系数呈现先下降后上升的趋势;全鱼粗脂肪和全鱼灰分含量显著上升(P0.05),肌肉灰分含量显著下降(P0.05)。饲料中Phe对全鱼水分和粗蛋白质、肌肉水分、肌肉粗蛋白质和肌肉粗脂肪含量无显著性影响(P0.05);各实验组的肌肉氨基酸含量差异不显著(P0.05)。饲料中Phe显著影响血清中谷丙转氨酶活性,甘油三酯、总胆固醇和葡萄糖的含量(P0.05),对谷草转氨酶活性无显著性影响(P0.05);Phe显著影响肠蛋白酶、肠脂肪酶和肠Na~+-K~+-ATP酶活性(P0.05),而对肠淀粉酶活性影响不显著(P0.05)。以增重率、饲料系数和蛋白质效率为评价指标,通过二次回归分析可知,吉富罗非鱼对饲料中Phe需要量为1.17%~1.21%,占饲料蛋白质的3.89%~4.02%。本研究结果为合理配制吉富罗非鱼配合饲料提供了理论依据。     

饲料脂肪对黄颡鱼卵巢脂类代谢以及PI3KCa甲基化和转录水平的影响

为了探究饲料不同脂肪水平对黄颡鱼卵巢脂肪代谢潜在的影响,本研究设计了活体与离体两个实验。活体实验中,分别投喂3组不同脂肪水平的饲料(脂肪含量分别为6.98%、11.34%和15.41%)8周。离体实验中,分离原代黄颡鱼卵母细胞,采用(0、0.2和0.5 mmol/L)3组不同脂肪酸浓度孵育48 h。活体实验结果显示:与6.98%和15.41%脂肪水平组相比,11.34%脂肪水平显著增加黄颡鱼卵巢甘油三酯水平(TG),并上调FAS、G6PD、6PGD和ME的酶活性水平,以及LPL和CD36基因表达水平。与6.98%和11.34%脂肪水平组相比,15.41%脂肪水平组显著升高黄颡鱼的性腺指数(GSI),并上调CPTIA和DNMT3b的基因表达水平,以及PI3KCa启动子-64和-52 CpG位点的甲基化水平,而显著降低PI3KCa的基因表达水平。体外细胞实验显示:与对照组(0)相比,0.5 mmol/L脂肪酸孵育显著增加卵母细胞TG含量,并上调FAS、G6PD和ME酶活水平,以及G6PD和PI3KCa的基因表达水平。同时,与对照组相比,脂肪酸孵育组显著降低CPTIA、ACCb、LPL、CD36、DNMT1以及DNMT3b基因的表达水平。然而,脂肪酸孵育对卵母细胞PI3KCa的启动子甲基化水平没有影响。研究表明,饲料不同脂肪水平影响卵巢TG的合成,可能主要是通过脂肪转运相关基因,并且高脂肪很可能是通过影响黄颡鱼卵巢PI3KCa启动子甲基化水平来影响PI3KCa的表达。而离体条件下,脂肪酸促进卵母细胞TG的合成很可能是通过升高脂肪合成相关基因、降低脂肪分解和转运相关基因来实现,但脂肪酸孵育不通过影响黄颡鱼卵母细胞PI3KCa甲基化水平来影响PI3KCa基因表达。     

饲料磷水平对吉富罗非鱼肠道磷和脂肪酸转运及甘油三酯沉积的影响

摘要:为了探究饲料中不同磷水平对罗非鱼肠道磷和脂肪酸转运及甘油三脂沉积的影响，我们配制了3组不同磷水平的饲料，饲料中磷含量分别为1.21 %（LPD）、1.75 %（MPD）和2.66 %（HPD）），用配制的饲料投喂罗非鱼10周。结果显示：与LPD组相比，HPD组显著增加罗非鱼肠道钠磷协同转运体SLC34A2基因（95.7%）和蛋白（200.1%）的表达，增加肠道组织总磷含量（79.2%）；HPD组上调脂肪酸吸收基因cd36、fabp1、fabp2和fatp1及甘油三酯合成基因dgat1的表达（11.2%~54.0%），下调脂肪酸转运基因apob-100的表达（37.7%），增加游离脂肪酸（NEFA）的含量（241.1%）。与LPD组相比，HPD组显著增加罗非鱼肠道组织甘油三酯（TG）的含量（42.9%）。 综上，我们的研究表明，饲料中高磷水平增加肠道组织TG的含量，上调脂肪酸吸收途径和抑制脂肪酸排出途径。我们的研究为深入揭示磷影响鱼类磷代谢及脂类代谢的机理奠定基础。     

Molecular cloning of fatty acid synthase from grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and the regulation of its expression by dietary fat level

The fatty acid synthase (FAS) gene was cloned from liver of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) by degenerate oligonucleotide primed PCR. The obtained cDNA fragment was 683 bp, which encoded 227 amino acids. Then, grass carps with initial body weight of (134.89 ± 12.12) g were fed diet supplemented with 0, 20, 40 g kg^?1 fat to investigate the impacts of dietary fat levels on growth, liver FAS enzyme activity and mRNA expression. After 8 weeks feeding, final body weights of the three groups were 344.11, 347.23 and 373.02 g. Compared with control group (0 g kg^?1), growth rate of 40 g kg^?1 fat group was increased by 14.03%, and feed conversion rate decreased by 11.32% (P < 0.05), liver FAS enzyme activity of 20, 40 g kg^?1 fat groups were reduced by 33%, 64% (P < 0.05), and FAS mRNA expression level reduced by 18%, 74% (P < 0.05), respectively. Results above showed that 40 g kg^?1 fat addition can significantly improve growth performance of grass carp. Liver FAS activity and mRNA expression tended to be inhibited by the increasing dietary fat level. Fat containing high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids had strongly inhibitory effects on liver FAS activity and gene expression.     

Effects of dietary fish oil substitution with linseed oil on growth,muscle fatty acid and metabolism of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of linseed oil (LO) replacing different levels of fish oil (FO) on growth, muscle fatty acid composition and metabolism of gift tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (mean initial weight 22 ± 0.5 g) in indoor recycle aquarium tanks for 8 weeks. Fish fed the diet with 50% of the oil as LO had higher final body weight (FWG), specific growth rate (SGR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) than the other groups (P < 0.05). Hepatopancreas lipid content of fish fed 50% LO was lower than the other groups. Total n‐3 and n‐6 PUFA contents in the dorsal muscle and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in serum increased with increasing dietary LO level. Fish fed 50% LO had higher alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities in hepatopancreas and total antioxidant capacity (T‐AOC) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activities in serum than the other groups (P < 0.05). However, malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in hepatopancreas were lower than other groups (P < 0.05) with a 50% substitution level. Results of this study indicated that LO could substitute <50% FO without influencing the growth of tilapia. The higher substitution levels of LO induced negative influences on growth, feed utilization and antioxidant ability of tilapia, but could promote DHA synthesis in tilapia muscle.     

Effect of dietary carbohydrate-to-lipid ratios on growth, lipid deposition and metabolic hepatic enzymes in juvenile Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis, Kaup)

A study was undertaken to determine the effect of various dietary carbohydrate‐to‐lipid ratios on growth performance, whole‐body composition and tissue lipid content in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) juveniles. Data on the dietary regulation of key hepatic enzymes of the lipogenic and glycolytic pathways (glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, G6PD; malic enzyme, ME; fatty acid synthetase, FAS; pyruvate kinase, PK and glucokinase, GK) were also generated. Four isonitrogenous (crude protein: 52% dry matter (DM)) diets were formulated to contain one of two lipid levels (11% and 21% DM). Within each dietary lipid level, the nature of the carbohydrate fraction (raw or extruded peas) was varied. Triplicate groups of 54 sole (initial body weight: 23.6±1.2 g) were grown in recirculated seawater over 67 days. Fish were fed using automated feeders. At the end of the study, whole‐body, liver, viscera and muscle samples were withdrawn for analyses. During the experimental period, the mean fish weight about doubled in all treatments. No significant differences were found in growth performance (ranging from 1.1% to 1.4% body weight day^?1) among dietary treatments. High‐fat diets increased whole‐body fat content. Similarly, daily fat gain ranged from 0.54 to 0.78 g kg^?1 day^?1 and highest values were found in fish fed high‐lipid diets. Dietary treatments also affected tissue lipid content (liver, viscera and muscle), with highest values in fish fed high‐fat diets. The nature of dietary carbohydrates had little influence on performance criteria, but affected tissue lipid deposition. The activities of G6PD, ME and FAS were depressed by elevated levels of dietary lipid, confirming the inhibitory effect of dietary fats on lipid biosynthesis. At both dietary lipid levels, ME and FAS activities were little affected by dietary carbohydrate. Activities of PK and GK were not affected by the starch level of the diets. In Senegalese sole juveniles, the lipogenic pathway is more susceptible to modulation by dietary means (particularly through lipid intake) than the glycolytic pathway.     

Dietary lipid requirements of larval genetically improved farmed tilapia,Oreochromis niloticus (L.), and effects on growth performance,expression of digestive enzyme genes,and immune response

The present study was performed to investigate the effects of dietary lipid level on growth performance, antioxidant defense, and mRNA levels of digestive enzymes and immune genes in larval genetically improved farmed tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The results show that larvae fed lipid levels of 4–11.5% had greater weight gain (WG), feed efficiency, protein efficiency ratio and survival than larvae fed the other dietary lipid levels (P < 0.05). No difference whole‐body crude protein, ash or moisture contents were found between treatments (P > 0.05) but lipid contents increased as dietary lipid level was increased. The 8% and 11.5% dietary lipid levels had stimulatory effects on trypsin mRNA level compared with those of larvae fed the 15% and 18.5% lipid diets. Intestinal and liver amylase mRNA levels decreased in larvae fed the 18.5% lipid diet, following the decrease in dietary starch. Analysis of the secondary curve equation for WG indicated that the optimal dietary lipid level in larval tilapia was 8.56%. In addition, the 4–11.5% lipid levels improved superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities and increased mRNA levels of heat shock protein70, hepcidin antimicrobial peptide‐1, and C‐type lysozyme in the liver of larvae (P < 0.05). A 192‐h Streptococcus iniae challenge study was conducted after the 35‐day feeding trial, and the results showed that post‐challenge mortality of larvae fed the 11.5% lipid level was the lowest and enhanced the immune activities.     

Influence of dietary lipid on growth performance and some lipogenesis‐related gene expression of tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) larvae

A 30‐day feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary lipid levels on growth performance, activities of digestive enzymes, fatty acid composition and some lipogenesis‐related gene expression of half‐smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) larvae. Five isoproteic diets were formulated with graded lipid levels (6.68%, 9.84%, 13.47%, 17.89% and 21.88% dry weight) using fish oil as the main lipid source. Each diet was randomly allocated to triplicate groups of 150 larval tongue sole (35 DAH, 54 ± 1 mg). Fish were fed five times daily to apparent satiation during the feeding experiment. Results showed that, the survival rate (SR) of larvae increased significantly firstly, and thereafter decreased significantly. The specific growth rates (SGR) of larvae fed the diet with 13.47% lipid were significantly higher than other treatments. Larvae fed 9.84% or 13.47% dietary lipid showed higher trypsin, lipase, leucine aminopeptidase and alkaline phosphatase (AP) activities than other treatments, whereas amylase activity nearly showed reverse trend with them. The fatty acid composition of the tongue sole larvae was well correlated with dietary fatty acid profile. Expression of acetyl‐CoA carboxylase alpha (ACC1) was found to be slightly negatively correlated with dietary lipid level, and high dietary lipid level depressed the expressions of acetyl‐CoA carboxylase beta (ACC2) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) mRNA expression significantly, implying that larvae may cope with high dietary lipid mainly through down‐regulating lipogenesis‐related gene expression of FAS and ACC2. Besides, on the basis of SGR, the optimal dietary lipid level for larval tongue sole was estimated to be 13.56% using second‐order polynomial curve.

选用初始体质量为(79.4±1.6)g吉富罗非鱼270尾,随机分成6组(每组3重复,每重复15尾),养殖于500 L养殖桶中,分别饲喂泛酸含量为0.5、4.8、9.5、18.2、36.3和74.4 mg/kg纯化饲料12周,研究确定其对泛酸的需要量。结果表明,随着饲料泛酸含量增加,吉富罗非鱼增重率、肝脏和肌肉泛酸含量均呈先线性增加后稳定的趋势;肥满度和肝体比呈先增加后降低的趋势,均以4.8 mg/kg组最高。全鱼水分含量先降低后增加,全鱼脂肪含量呈现与水分含量相反的趋势。肝总脂含量显著降低,添加组显著低于未添加组(P0.05)。血清高密度脂蛋白含量随着饲料泛酸含量的增加而显著增加(P0.05)。折线回归分析结果表明,吉富罗非鱼(80~350 g)获得最佳生长时对饲料泛酸需要量为10.5 mg/kg,饲料中12.6和13.5mg/kg泛酸可以分别使肝脏和肌肉泛酸累积量达到最大。     

Influence of Ulva meal on growth, feed utilization, and body composition of juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) at two levels of dietary lipid

A nutrition trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary lipid levels and supplemental Ulva meal on growth performance, feed efficiency, nutrient utilization, and body composition of juvenile Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Four isonitrogenous (CP 40%) diets containing 0% and 5% Ulva meal were formulated to contain 10% (low-lipid; LL) and 20% (high-lipid; HL) crude lipid. Triplicate groups of fish (~10 g) were fed to apparent satiation three times daily for 16 weeks. Fish fed 5% Ulva meal showed an increased growth performance (P < 0.05) compared with fish fed non-Ulva supplemented diets, irrespective of dietary lipid level. In particular, the incorporation of Ulva meal improved specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and protein efficiency ratio (PER). Feeding fish 5% Ulva meal diets resulted in significantly lower carcass lipid content. The results indicate that 5% inclusion of Ulva meal at both dietary lipid levels improves growth performance, feed efficiency, nutrient utilization, and body composition of Nile tilapia.
