配合饲料和冰鱼对单体养殖中华绒螯蟹生长、性腺发育及其肌肉品质的影响

为研究配合饲料和冰鱼对中华绒螯蟹的养殖性能和营养状况的影响,本实验通过连续采样分析了单体养殖中华绒螯蟹的生长性能、性腺发育和肌肉的营养成分,并进一步比较了终末体质量、增重率、特定增长率、成活率和蜕壳间隔。结果显示:(1)配合饲料组的成活率极显著高于冰鱼组,而终末体质量、增重率、特定增长率和蜕壳间隔二组无显著差异;在不同蜕壳阶段,在体质量指标上,配合饲料组小于冰鱼组,其中第3次蜕壳后二组间差异显著;增重率在雌、雄蟹体间存在差异,其中雌蟹在第2次蜕壳后配合饲料组的增重率极显著小于冰鱼组,而雄蟹在第1次和第4次蜕壳后2个阶段配合饲料组的增重率极显著大于冰鱼组。(2)在配合饲料和冰鱼2组投喂下肝胰腺指数分别为3.59%和4.45%,性腺指数二者分别为3.20%和2.25%,肝胰腺指数和性腺指数在二组投喂下无显著差异。(3)在肌肉氨基酸含量方面,氨基酸总量(∑TAA)、必需氨基酸总量(∑TEAA)和呈味氨基酸总量(∑FAA)配合饲料组显著小于冰鱼组;从单个氨基酸含量看,赖氨酸(Lys)和精氨酸(Arg)含量配合饲料组显著小于冰鱼组,而脯氨酸(Pro)含量则是配合饲料组显著大于冰鱼组。(4)在肌肉脂肪酸含量方面,高度不饱和脂肪酸(∑HUFA)和DHA+EPA含量配合饲料组显著高于冰鱼组;从单个脂肪酸看,单不饱和脂肪酸(∑MUFA)中C16:1和C18:1n-9含量配合饲料组显著小于冰鱼组,而多不饱和脂肪酸(∑PUFA)中的ARA和DHA配合饲料组却显著高于冰鱼组。研究表明,在该单体养殖条件下,配合饲料组在中华绒螯蟹生长性能和肌肉品质上接近冰鱼组,而在性腺发育和成活率上则优于冰鱼组,配合饲料对中华绒螯蟹养殖业更具有发展优势。     

不同脂肪源饲料对中华绒螯蟹幼蟹生长、消化酶活力和脂肪酸组成的影响

选用初始体重为(2.15±0.10)g的中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)雄性幼蟹,随机分为5组(每组12只幼蟹),饲喂100%鱼油组(简称F1组)、100%豆油组(F2组)、100%亚麻油组(F3组)、50%鱼油+50%豆油组(F4组)、50%鱼油+50%亚麻油组(F5组)不同脂肪源配制的5种等氮等能饲料。实验蟹单个体养殖,实验周期为112 d。结果表明,F5组体重、增重率和特定生长率都显著高于其他饲料组(P0.05),各组的蜕壳间隔和肝胰腺指数没有显著差异(P0.05)。肝胰腺组织消化酶活力测定结果表明,F1组幼蟹肝胰腺的类胰蛋白酶活力显著高于其他各组(P0.05);F3组的胃蛋白酶活力显著高于其他各组(P0.05);F1组、F2组和F4组的脂肪酶活力显著高于其他两组(P0.05);各组的淀粉酶活力差异不显著(P0.05)。脂肪酸测定结果表明,肝胰腺和肌肉中的亚油酸(LOA)(C18:2n-6)、亚麻酸(LNA)(C18:3n-3)、EPA(C20:5n-3)和DHA(C22:6n-3)等主要脂肪酸含量与饲料脂肪酸组成呈正相关关系,F1组的高度不饱和脂肪酸(HUFA)含量显著高于其余各组(P0.05),F2组的LOA含量显著高于其余各组(P0.05),F3组的LNA含量显著高于其余各组(P0.05)。本研究结果表明,以50%的豆油或亚麻油替代鱼油能促进中华绒螯蟹幼蟹的生长,但可能使幼蟹的成活率降低。以豆油或亚麻油替代鱼油会影响幼蟹胰蛋白酶、胃蛋白酶和脂肪酶的活力和肝胰腺、肌肉脂肪酸组成。     

2种饵料模式对稻田养殖中华绒螯蟹幼蟹养殖性能和生理代谢的影响

为优化稻田养殖中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)幼蟹的饵料模式,本研究分别采用配合饲料和传统饵料(豆粕、麸皮、玉米和小麦)投喂稻田养殖中华绒螯蟹幼蟹152 d,每种投喂组各3个重复,比较2种饵料模式对幼蟹养殖性能、蛋白质代谢、消化酶、抗氧化和免疫指标的影响。结果显示,配合饲料组的雌蟹和雄蟹体质量均高于传统饵料组,但差异不显著(P>0.05);就养殖性能而言,2种饵料模式下,配合饲料组正常幼蟹的平均体质量及产量、1龄早熟蟹平均体质量及其产量、总产量和成活率均略高于传统饵料组,饵料系数显著低于传统饵料组(P<0.05);就蛋白质代谢而言,配合饲料组雌蟹和雄蟹血淋巴中的总蛋白含量显著高于传统饵料组(P<0.05),而传统饵料组雄蟹血淋巴中的尿素氮含量和肝胰腺中的谷草转氨酶活力显著高于配合饲料组(P<0.05);配合饲料组雌蟹和雄蟹肝胰腺中的脂肪酶均显著高于传统饵料组(P<0.05),而雄蟹的α-淀粉酶活力显著低于传统饵料组;配合饲料组的雌蟹血淋巴中总抗氧化能力、碱性磷酸酶、酸性磷酸酶活力和肝胰腺中酸性磷酸酶活力均显著高于传统饵料组(P<0.05)。综上所述,投喂配合饲料可以提高稻田扣蟹的养殖性能、促进蛋白质沉积和脂类吸收、增强幼蟹抗氧化和免疫能力、提高蟹种质量。     

不同磷脂水平下中华绒螯蟹幼蟹的胆碱需要量

采用2×6因子设计方法,以酪蛋白和明胶为蛋白源,分别配制了含1%和2%磷脂,6个氯化胆碱水平(0、250、500、1 000、2 000、4 000 mg/kg饲料)的12组等氮、等脂精制饲料,在室内水族箱条件下对体质量为(0.22±0.01)g的中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)幼蟹进行为期6周的饲养试验,每处理组各设4个平行。结果表明:当饲料中胆碱的添加水平分别为1 000 mg/kg(1%的磷脂水平)和500 mg/kg(2%的磷脂水平)时,幼蟹的存活率均达到最高值,分别为89%和88%;幼蟹增重率和特定生长率均随着胆碱添加量的提高而显著升高(P<0.05);磷脂水平为1%时,1 000、2 000和4 000 mg/kg胆碱处理组的饲料系数显著低于0、250和500 mg/kg的处理组(P<0.05);磷脂水平为2%时,500 mg/kg和1 000 mg/kg胆碱处理组的饲料系数显著低于0 mg/kg处理组(P<0.05),但与250、2 000和4 000mg/kg处理组之间差异不显著(P>0.05);各试验组的全蟹粗脂肪含量、肝胰腺的甘油三酯含量、总胆固醇含量、谷草转氨酶和谷丙转氨酶活性,均随着饲料中胆碱量的增加而显著下降(P<0.05)。综上所述,中华绒螯蟹幼蟹饲料中磷脂和胆碱存在显著的交互作用,饲料中适量添加胆碱和磷脂,可以显著提高幼蟹的增重率和特定生长率,降低饲料系数以及蟹体脂肪含量。以增重率为判据,采用折线回归法进行分析,得出饲料中不同磷脂水平下幼蟹的胆碱适宜需要量分别为1 429.65 mg/kg饲料(磷脂水平1%时)和529.65 mg/kg饲料(磷脂水平2%)。     

饲喂不同水平虫草培养残基对中华绒螯蟹营养品质的影响

在基础饲料中分别添加0.25%、0.5%、1.0%、2.0%、4.0%、8.0%、16.0%的蛹虫草培养残基(简称虫草基),以基础饲料为对照,饲喂规格为(4.0±1.0)g的中华绒螯蟹75 d,测定中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)常规营养成分、肌肉与血清氨基酸及肝胰腺脂肪酸含量,研究虫草基对中华绒螯蟹营养品质的影响。结果显示:(1)虫草基对中华绒螯蟹水分和蛋白含量无影响(P>0.05),0.5%和1.0%添加组的全蟹、肌肉、肝胰腺粗脂肪含量显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。(2)适量添加虫草基可增加中华绒螯蟹肌肉游离氨基酸含量,0.5%～2.0%的添加组显著高于对照组(P<0.05),但对氨基酸组成及主要呈味氨基酸含量影响不显著(P>0.05);1.0%和16.0%添加组中华绒螯蟹血清氨基酸和主要呈味氨基酸含量明显提高(P<0.05)。(3)虫草基的添加可提高肝胰腺不饱和脂肪酸及必需脂肪酸含量,且1.0%添加组显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。饲料中添加适量的虫草基可提高中华绒螯蟹肌肉与血清的游离氨基酸、血清必需氨基酸、肝胰腺不饱和脂肪酸和必需脂肪酸含量,从而改善中华绒螯蟹营养品质。     

饲料中磷脂和多不饱和脂肪酸对中华绒螯蟹大眼幼体育成仔蟹的成活率？…

用精制饲料添加一定量的磷脂和多不饱和脂肪酸，饲喂中华绒螯蟹大眼幼体并育成Ⅲ期仔蟹。结果表明：饲料中添加一定量的磷脂对提高大眼幼体育成仔蟹的成活率有较显著的作用，而添加多不饱和脂肪酸对提高大眼幼体到Ⅲ期仔蟹的成活率的作用不显著，但可显著地提高大眼幼体到Ⅰ期仔蟹的成活率。另外，饲料中的不饱和脂肪酸含量可显著影响仔蟹体内脂肪酸的百分含量。     

中华绒螯蟹“六月黄”与成蟹肝胰腺营养成分比较

对同一年度、同一饲养环境下的中华绒螯蟹"六月黄"和后期成蟹雌、雄个体肝胰腺组织的营养成分进行了测定和比较分析。结果显示,"六月黄"的肥满度与雌性成蟹间没有显著性差异(P0.05),但肝胰腺指数极显著高于成蟹(P0.01)。"六月黄"肝胰腺中水分和灰分的含量极显著高于成蟹(P0.01),而粗脂肪含量极显著低于成蟹(P0.01),两种蟹的粗蛋白质含量没有显著差异(P0.05)。在检测到的17种氨基酸中,除"六月黄"雄蟹肝胰腺中丙氨酸的含量显著低于其雌蟹及雌、雄成蟹外(P0.05),其他16种氨基酸在"六月黄"与成蟹间均不存在显著差异(P0.05)。"六月黄"和成蟹的肝胰腺中含量最高的4种脂肪酸均为C18:1n9c、C18:2n6c、C16:0和C16:1,其总和分别占"六月黄"和成蟹肝胰腺中总脂肪酸的72.13%和69.02%(雌、雄蟹平均值)。"六月黄"的饱和脂肪酸总量显著低于成蟹(P0.05),但其单不饱和脂肪酸总量(ΣMUFA)和多不饱和脂肪酸总量(ΣPUFA)均显著高于成蟹(P0.05)。"六月黄"肝胰腺中Σn-6 PUFA的含量也极显著高于成蟹(P0.01),而Σn-3 PUFA含量二者不存在显著差异,因此"六月黄"的Σn-6/Σn-3 PUFA比率(1.42～1.44)低于成蟹(0.85～0.92)。结果表明,从总体上看,"六月黄"的营养价值较高,其肝胰腺的营养品质好于成蟹,"六月黄"养殖具有一定的产业发展前景。     

伊乐藻对中华绒螯蟹生长和营养品质的影响

本研究分析了有伊乐藻(Elodea nuttallii)组和对照组(无伊乐藻)中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)在生长、肌肉氨基酸和脂肪酸组成等方面的差异,探讨伊乐藻对中华绒螯蟹生长和营养品质的影响。结果显示,有伊乐藻组中华绒螯蟹体重、壳长和壳宽增长率与肥满度均显著高于无伊乐藻组(P0.05),但肝胰腺指数和性腺指数差异不显著(P0.05)。伊乐藻组中华绒螯蟹肌肉的氨基酸总量、必需氨基酸和鲜味氨基酸含量均显著高于无伊乐藻组(P0.05);伊乐藻组的雌蟹肝胰腺中的鲜味氨基酸含量也显著高于无伊乐藻组(P0.05),而伊乐藻组和无伊乐藻组的雄蟹肝胰腺氨基酸含量差异不显著(P0.05)。伊乐藻组和无伊乐藻组的中华绒螯蟹肌肉脂肪酸组成和含量差异不显著(P0.05),但伊乐藻组中华绒螯蟹的肝胰腺饱和脂肪酸(SFA)、单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFA)和多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)含量均显著高于无伊乐藻组(P0.05)。综上所述,伊乐藻不仅有利于中华绒螯蟹的生长,而且能改善中华绒螯蟹的营养品质。     

拟穴青蟹雄蟹蜕壳周期肌肉与肝胰腺营养变化趋势

为探究拟穴青蟹(Scylla paramamosain)雄蟹蜕壳前后肌肉及肝胰腺营养变化,分别对蜕壳前、中、后期的拟穴青蟹雄蟹肌肉(分别记为MB、MD和MA)及肝胰腺(分别记为HB、HD和HA)的营养成分进行了测定,结果显示:肌肉水分蜕壳后显著高于蜕壳前和蜕壳中(P0.05),肌肉粗蛋白蜕壳后显著低于蜕壳中(P0.05),蜕壳前和蜕壳中肌肉水分和粗蛋白无显著性差异(P0.05);肌肉粗脂肪含量蜕壳后显著低于蜕壳前和蜕壳中(P0.05),肌肉灰分蜕壳中显著低于蜕壳前和蜕壳后(P0.05)。肝胰腺水分蜕壳中显著低于蜕壳前和蜕壳后(P0.05),肝胰腺粗蛋白含量为:蜕壳前蜕壳后蜕壳中(P0.05),肝胰腺粗脂肪含量为:蜕壳中蜕壳后蜕壳前(P0.05),肝胰腺灰分蜕壳后显著低于蜕壳前和蜕壳中(P0.05)。肌肉总氨基酸、必需氨基酸、呈味氨基酸含量为:蜕壳中蜕壳前蜕壳后(P0.05),肝胰腺总氨基酸、必需氨基酸和呈味氨基酸蜕壳前显著高于蜕壳中和蜕壳后(P0.05)。根据氨基酸评分和化学评分,肌肉和肝胰腺第一限制性氨基酸多为甲硫氨酸和胱氨酸(Met+Cys),肌肉第二限制性氨基酸多为缬氨酸(Val),肝胰腺第二限制性氨基酸多为异亮氨酸(Ile),蜕壳前、中、后肌肉必需氨基酸指数分别为56.43、59.00、54.82,其构成比例符合FAO/WHO的标准,其中蜕壳中肌肉氨基酸指数最高;蜕壳前、中、后肝胰腺必需氨基酸指数较低,分别为29.90、19.59、23.26,其中蜕壳前肝胰腺的必需氨基酸指数最高;蜕壳前肌肉和蜕壳后肝胰腺的多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)最高(P0.05),蜕壳后肌肉和肝胰腺的二十碳五烯酸(EPA)和二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)含量最高(P0.05)。结果表明,拟穴青蟹雄蟹蜕壳阶段主要消耗肌肉中粗脂肪以及肝胰腺中粗蛋白,而软壳硬化阶段主要消耗肌肉中粗蛋白、粗脂肪以及肝胰腺中粗脂肪;从营养学角度分析,拟穴青蟹雄蟹肌肉粗蛋白与粗脂肪组成均优于肝胰腺,其中蜕壳中肌肉氨基酸组成与蜕壳前肌肉脂肪酸组成最优。     

磷脂和HUFA对中华绒螯蟹幼蟹存活、生长、蜕壳及生化组成的影响

实验用中华绒螯蟹(Eriocheir sinensis)幼蟹初始体质量为1.8 g左右。饲料A添加6%鳕鱼肝油和4%大豆卵鳞脂(饲料含4.53%磷脂和1.08%HUFA), 饲料B添加10%的猪油(饲料含0.39%磷脂和0.18%HUFA); 实验蟹单个体饲养(可防止蜕壳期间蟹相互残杀而获得饲料外的营养源), 雌蟹(F)、雄蟹(M)各60个, 实验周期120 d。结果表明: 两组饲料条件下, 幼蟹的存活率、增重率、特定生长率、平均蜕壳次数、蜕壳间隔时间及肝胰腺指数均无显著差异(P>0.05)。但无论是雌蟹还是雄蟹, A组幼蟹肝胰腺和肌肉的总脂含量显著低于B组(P<0.05), 并且A组蟹肝胰腺和肌肉中磷脂、多不饱和脂肪酸和高度不饱和脂肪酸的含量显著高于B组(P<0.05)。这表明, 在中华绒螯蟹幼蟹饲料中添加4.53%磷脂和1.08%HUFA对其存活、生长、蜕壳无显著影响, 但可使其肝胰腺和肌肉中的总脂含量降低, 而磷脂、多不饱和脂肪酸和高度不饱和脂肪酸的含量升高。本研究结果旨在为中华绒螯蟹幼蟹的营养学研究提供理论依据, 同时也为生产上幼蟹饲料的开发提供参考。     

Effect of dietary supplementation of phospholipids and highly unsaturated fatty acids on reproductive performance and offspring quality of Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis (H. Milne-Edwards), female broodstock

This study was conducted to determine the optimum phospholipids: highly unsaturated fatty acids (PL/HUFA) ratio in maturation diets for female Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis broodstock. Five isolipidtic and isonitrogenous diets were formulated to contain different amounts of pork lard, fish oil and soy lecithin with resulting PL/HUFA levels (%dry weight) of 1.4/0.3 (Diet 1), 1.6/2.5 (Diet 2), 2.3/2.0 (Diet 3), 3.8/1.5 (Diet 4) and 5.1/0.8 (Diet 5). Diet 1 lacked supplemental fish oil and soy lecithin and served as the control. Each of the five formulated diets was fed to a total of 150 female crabs for a period of 7 months. All diet treatments were triplicated with 50 crabs stocked in a pond as a replicate. After 6 months, male crabs were introduced into the ponds where females were kept, mating, spawning and egg hatching (in seawater) occurred in the following month. The nutritional value of various formulated diets was assessed based on survival, gonadosomatic index (GSI), egg production per female, fecundity (eggs/g female weight) of the females fed those diets and egg and larval (newly hatched zoea I larvae) quality.Females fed Diet 1 had the lowest GSI, egg production per female and fecundity while no significant difference were found for survival, hepatosomatic index (HSI) and the percentage of female spawned among the diet treatments (P > 0.05). Although there were no significant differences in egg diameter, egg wet or dry weights among all treatments (P > 0.05), the highest and the second highest proportions of essential fatty acids (EFA), i.e. 20:5n-3 (EPA), 22:6n-3 (DHA) and HUFA were found in the eggs produced by the females fed Diet 3 and Diet 2, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that EPA, DHA and HUFA in eggs produced by females fed Diet 3 were significantly higher than those from the other treatments (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, zoea I larvae from crabs fed Diet 3 had significantly larger carapace length than those from the other four treatments (P < 0.05). The zoea I larvae from crabs fed Diet 2 and Diet 3 also showed generally better tolerance to starvation and osmotic shock.In conclusion, our results indicated that diet included levels of PL/HUFA around 1.6/2.5 or 2.3/2.0 (% dry weight) fed female E. sinensis broodstock supported increased fecundity and elevated level of HUFA in egg, which in turn resulted in improved overall quality of newly hatched larvae.     

饲料组成对银鲳幼鱼生长率及肌肉氨基酸、脂肪酸组成的影响

研究分析了饲料组成对银鲳(Pampus argenteus)幼鱼特定生长率(SGR)及肌肉氨基酸与脂肪酸组成的影响。实验共设4组不同的饲料组成,依次为饲料A(鱼肉糜)、饲料B(鱼肉糜+配合饲料)、饲料C(鱼肉糜+配合饲料+蛏子肉糜)和饲料D(鱼肉糜+配合饲料+蛏子肉糜+桡足类)。实验用银鲳幼鱼的平均体重为4.80±0.11 g,每组饲料设3重复,实验周期为9周。研究结果显示,不同饲料组成可显著影响银鲳的特定生长率,饲料A组的特定生长率最低,并显著低于其它各饲料组;饲料D组的特定生长率最高,且显著高于饲料B、C组的特定生长率(P<0.05);但饲料B、C组间银鲳特定生长率无显著性差异(P>0.05)。银鲳肌肉氨基酸与脂肪酸的分析结果显示,4组饲料组成对银鲳肌肉氨基酸的组成及含量并无显著性影响(P>0.05),但可显著影响肌肉脂肪酸的组成及含量(P<0.05)。饲料D组的多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)、高度不饱和脂肪酸(HUFA)及n-3HUFA含量均分别显著高于饲料A、B和C组(P<0.05),饲料B和C组的PUFA、HUFA及n-3HUFA均分别显著高于饲料A组(P<0.05),但饲料B、C组间并无显著性差异(P>0.05)。综合分析得出,丰富的饲料组成以及饲料中较高的HUFA含量均有利于银鲳幼鱼的生长。     

Effects of dietary phospholipids and highly unsaturated fatty acids on the precocity,survival, growth and hepatic lipid composition of juvenile Chinese mitten crab,Eriocheir sinensis (H. Milne‐Edwards)

Precocious puberty is one of the major constraints to the further development of Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) farming industry. Although dietary phospholipids (PL) and highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) supplementation have been shown to enhance the growth of larval E. sinensis in other studies, it is still unknown whether this also leads to a higher precocity rate for juvenile E. sinensis. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary PL and HUFA on precocity, survival, growth and hepatic lipid composition of juvenile E. sinensis. Two diets were formulated with PL [3.95% dry weight (DW)] and HUFA (0.98% DW) supplementation (diet A) and without PL and HUFA supplementation (diet B) and fed to juvenile E. sinensis. Although dietary PL and HUFA levels did not significantly affect the survival and growth performance of juvenile E. sinensis, compared with crabs fed diet A, a higher precocity rate was found among juvenile E. sinensis fed diet B (P=0.051). A higher total lipid content, but significantly lower levels of HUFA and PL (P<0.05) were found in the hepatopancreas of crabs fed diet B than in those fed diet A. Meanwhile, the precocious females had significantly lower hepatosomatic index, arachidonic acid (20:4n‐6), eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n‐3) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n‐3) contents in their hepatopancreas when compared with that of the normal immature juveniles (P<0.05). The results suggest that the occurrence of precocious puberty among farmed juvenile E. sinensis could be reduced by the inclusion of appropriate level of dietary PL and HUFA.     

Effects of dietary phospholipid and highly unsaturated fatty acid on the gonadal development, tissue proximate composition, lipid class and fatty acid composition of precocious Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis

Precocious puberty is a major constraint to the economical rearing Eriocheir sinensis farming. Although dietary phospholipid (PL) and highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) reportedly enhanced ovarian development in normal adult E. sinensis , it had opposite effects of reducing precocity in juveniles . This study investigated the effects of dietary PL and HUFA on survival, gonadal development and biochemical composition of precocious E. sinensis . Two diets with PL and HUFA supplementation (diet A) and deficient (diet B) were formulated and fed to precocious E. sinensis . Although no significant differences were found on survival and gonadosomatic index of crabs fed both diets, crabs fed diet B had significantly higher hepatosomatic index and hepatopancrean lipid content than crabs fed diet A. The percentages, 14:0, 18:1n-9, 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3, in hepatopancreas, muscle and gonads were positively correlated to the diets. Interestingly, the crabs fed diet B accumulated significantly higher 18:2n-6 in gonads and muscle than those fed diet A. Furthermore, substantially higher 20:4n-6 was detected in the gonad and muscle than in the diets. These results suggested that dietary PL and HUFA had limited effects on male gonad biochemical composition. Meanwhile, the precocious E. sinensis may be capable of negating the negative effects of HUFA deficiency by enhanced tissue 18:2n-6 accumulation and converting 18:2n-6 to 20:4n-6.     

微粒饲料中鱼油n-3HUFA的分子结构对真鲷仔稚鱼生长、存活的影响

制备3种基本组成相同、添加不同类型鱼油的微粒饲料。将3种微粒饲料分别投喂真鲷(Pagrus major)仔鱼，探讨了微粒饲料中鱼油n—3HUFA的不同分子结构对真鲷仔、稚鱼生长、存活的影响。25d的养殖试验结果表明，虽然饲料2中n-3HUFA的含量高于饲料1中n—3HUFA的含量，饲料3中n—3HUFA的含量同饲料1中n—3HUFA的含量相等，但是用饲料1投喂的真鲷仔、稚鱼的全长、成活率要优于分别用饲料2和饲料3投喂的真鲷仔、稚鱼的全长、成活率。而且，用饲料1投喂的真鲷仔、稚鱼体内n-3HUFA和DHA的含量高于用饲料2和饲料3投喂的真鲷仔、稚鱼体内n—3HUFA和DHA的含量，这说明真鲷仔、稚鱼对天然鱼油的消化、吸收要优于对乙酯化鱼油的消化、吸收。     

Effect of a dietary phospholipid supplementation on growth and fatty acid composition of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) juveniles from weaning onwards

Two 40-day feeding trials using extruded diets were conducted to assess the effect of a dietary phospholipid (PL) supplementation on growth, survival and fatty acid composition of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) from weaning onwards. Two dietary treatments (FO and PL) were tested; both had an identical extruded basis (92.5% total diet weight) coated with a different lipid fraction (7.5% total diet weight). Diet PL contained 2% egg yolk PL (69% pure). In diet FO the PL was replaced by hydrogenated coconut oil. The isolipidic diets contained an equal amount of fish oil ethyl esters providing 1.6% (% diet dry weight) of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA). A diet water stability test showed no effect of the PL supplementation on the leaching of the dietary fatty acids. In both fish species weight, but not survival, significantly increased as a result of PL supplementation. Weaning onto the experimental diets resulted in similar changes in the relative percent levels of fatty acids in both species. In general, the percentage of saturated fatty acids levelled off after a rapid increase, while monoenes increased after an initial decrease. Total n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) decreased and total n-6 PUFA remained almost constant. The major effect of the dietary PL on fish fatty acid composition was a 50% increase in n-6 and n-3 HUFAs compared to the PL-free FO diet. The rise in n-6 HUFA may have reflected the higher moiety in the dietary PL. On the other hand this was not the case for the n-3 HUFA since they represented only low levels in the PL fraction (0.1%) compared to that provided by the ethyl esters (1.6%) suggesting a more efficient incorporation of the PL n-3 HUFA than of the ethyl ester n-3 HUFA. A second hypothesis is that the dietary PL may have favored the incorporation of the dietary ethyl ester n-3 HUFA.     

Incorporation of fatty acids from dietary neutral lipid in eye, brain and muscle of postlarval turbot fed diets with different types of phosphatidylcholine

Previous results demonstrated the stimulating effect of soybean phosphatidylcholine (PC) on the utilization of dietary neutral lipid in larval and postlarval fish. The present study further investigated the effect of the degree of saturation of dietary PC on the enhancement of dietary fatty acid incorporation in lipids of turbot. Newly-weaned turbot were fed for 20 days on four isolipidic diets containing the same amount of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA), presented either as neutral lipid, i.e. fish oil ethyl esters, or as polar lipid. Diet FO was a phospholipid-free control diet. Diets HPC, SPC and FPC were supplemented with 3% hydrogenated soybean PC, 3% native soybean PC and 3% marine fish roe PC, respectively.The three PC-supplemented diets resulted in better growth and higher muscle triacylglycerol levels than the PC-free diet FO. The fish fatty acids were determined in 3 lipid classes (neutral lipid, PC, phosphatidylethanolamine) of 3 organs or tissues (eye, brain and muscle). Despite the identical amounts of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids provided by the soybean oil and by the HUFA ethyl esters, the substitution of 3% hydrogenated coconut oil in diet FO by 3% hydrogenated PC in diet HPC caused, averaged over the various tissues and lipid classes, a 7 to 12% higher incorporation of 18:2n-6, 20:4n-6, 20:5n-3 and a 32% higher 22:6n-3 level in turbot lipid. Diet HPC appeared as efficient as diet SPC for enhancing the incorporation of the n-3 HUFA from the ethyl esters. Feeding diet FPC, in which the n-3 HUFA were provided through the marine PC source, resulted in slightly higher levels of these fatty acids in the fish than feeding the ethyl ester HUFA diets, even if supplemented with PC. Present results confirm the positive effect of PC, either hydrogenated or native, on the utilization of fatty acids provided in the diet as neutral lipid. The slightly higher incorporation of HUFA, when esterified on dietary PC instead of neutral lipid, raises the question regarding the form of intestinal absorption of PL in fish.p>     

Effects of dietary n‐3HUFA on juvenile white shrimp,Litopenaeus vannamei: Growth,feed utilization,antioxidant enzymes activities and fatty acid compositions

Present study investigates the effects of n‐3 high‐unsaturated fatty acid (n‐3HUFA) levels on growth performance, antioxidant enzymes activities and fatty acid compositions of juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei. These represented seven iso‐nitrogenous and iso‐lipidic diets. Analysed n‐3HUFA concentrations were 0.16% (control), 0.48%, 0.74%, 1.39%, 2.39%, 2.92% and 3.44% respectively. A total of 840 juvenile L. vannamei were randomly stocked into 21 0.5 m³ tanks for 56 days. A significant increase (p < 0.05) was observed from 0.16% to 0.74% n‐3HUFA and a decrease when n‐3HUFA was above these levels in weight gain rate (WGR) and specific growth rate. Total cholesterol, triglyceride and low‐density lipoprotein in serum showed a significant decrease, high‐density lipoprotein showed a significant increase (p < 0.05). Phenoloxidase activity in serum and sodium‐potassium adenosine triphosphatase activity in gill were significantly affected by dietary n‐3HUFA (p < 0.05), both of them showing a downward trend after upward. Malic dehydrogenase and superoxide dismutase activities in serum were also significantly affected by dietary n‐3HUFA (p < 0.05), which rose first and then decreased in general, both of them have a maximum in 2.39% group. No significant differences of the activities of aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase were observed among all groups (p > 0.05). With dietary n‐3HUFA increase, both ∑HUFA and n‐3HUFA contents gradually increased in hepatopancreas and tail muscles (p < 0.05). Based on broken‐line regression analysis of WGR, the optimal n‐3HUFA requirement is 0.89% for juvenile L. vannamei with initial weight of 0.50 ± 0.01 g.     

n-3/n-6 HUFA对大菱鲆幼鱼生长性能、全鱼脂肪酸组成和血清生化指标的影响

为探讨饲料中不同n-3/n-6高不饱和脂肪酸(HUFA)对大菱鲆幼鱼生长性能、全鱼脂肪酸组成和血液生化指标的影响,配制了6种不同n-3/n-6 HUFA(D1:29.54,D2:23.04,D3:18.97,D4:9.06,D5:6.86,D6:3.87)的实验饲料。以大菱鲆幼鱼(12.18±0.01)g为研究对象,在循环水养殖系统中开展了为期8周的养殖实验。实验共分6组,每组3个重复,每个重复35尾鱼。结果显示:饲料中n-3/n-6 HUFA对大菱鲆幼鱼的成活率(SR)无显著影响;增重率(WGR)、特定生长率(SGR)和蛋白质效率(PER)呈先上升后下降趋势且D6组的显著低于其他各组,D2组蛋白质效率显著高于其他各组。全鱼粗蛋白和灰分均呈先上升后下降趋势;D6组肌肉粗蛋白和灰分显著低于其他各组。全鱼ARA含量随着n-3/n-6 HUFA的下降呈上升趋势;全鱼中EPA、DHA、n-3/n-6多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)和n-3/n-6 HUFA均随着饲料中n-3/n-6 HUFA的下降呈下降趋势。血清中酸性磷酸酶(ACP)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)随着n-3/n-6 HUFA的变化呈上升趋势;溶菌酶(LZM)和总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)呈先上升后下降的趋势,溶菌酶在D2组达到最大值,总抗氧化能力在D3组达到最大值。综上所述,饲料中n-3/n-6 HUFA在适宜范围(18.97~23.04)显著提高了实验鱼的生长性能和非特异性免疫力,改变了鱼体组织的常规成分和脂肪酸组成。
