不同脂肪源饲料对施氏鲟幼鱼生长的影响

在饲料蛋白质水平和能量水平均能满足生长需要的前提下，以不同的油脂配制成6种试验饲料，投喂施氏鲟幼鱼7周，综合分析其生长效率各参数。试验结果表明：混合油组的总体生长效果最好，而葵花籽油和猪油组最差。分析表明：除了ω3多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)之外，施氏鲟的必需脂肪酸还同时包括18：2ω6，且施氏鲟对18：3ω3的需求要比18：2ω6大；另外，鱼油氧化后对施氏鲟幼鱼生长也有显著影响。     

不同脂肪源对黄颡鱼幼鱼生长性能、体成分、血清生化指标、体组织脂肪酸组成及抗氧化能力的影响

为研究不同脂肪源对黄颡鱼幼鱼生长性能、体成分、血清生化指标、体组织脂肪酸组成及抗氧化能力的影响,进行为期8周的养殖实验。实验配制了4种分别添加有椰子油(CO)、苏子油(PO)、葵花籽油(SO)、鱼油与葵花籽油1∶1混合油(FO/SO)的等氮等脂的饲料,喂养平均初始体质量为(1.52±0.00)g的黄颡鱼幼鱼。实验结果显示:不同脂肪源对黄颡鱼终末体质量(FBW)、增重率(WGR)、特定生长率(SGR)和成活率(SR)均无显著影响,对饲料系数(FCR)影响显著,各组SR均在95%以上。各组间的肝体比(HSI)、肥满度(CF)均有显著性差异,而脏体比(VSI)和肠脂比(IPR)无显著性差异。HSI和CF均以鱼油与葵花籽油1∶1混合油(FO/SO)组最高,葵花籽油(SO)组最低。黄颡鱼的鱼体水分、粗蛋白和灰分不受饲料脂肪源的影响,而椰子油(CO)组的粗脂肪含量显著高于其他3组,为10.51%,剩余3组间无显著性差异。饲料中脂肪源对黄颡鱼肌肉、肝脏组织脂肪酸组成和含量影响显著,并且肌肉和肝脏中脂肪酸含量变化与饲料中相应脂肪酸含量变化基本一致,椰子油(CO)组组织中饱和脂肪酸(SFA)含量最高,苏子油(PO)组组织中亚麻酸(ALA)和n-3 PUFA含量最高,葵花籽油(SO)组组织中亚油酸(LA)和n-6 PUFA含量最高,而鱼油与葵花籽油1∶1混合油(FO/SO)组组织中脂肪酸较为均衡。黄颡鱼血清中的总蛋白(TP)、白蛋白(ALB)、球蛋白(GLOB)、白蛋白/球蛋白(A/G)、谷草转氨酶(AST)、总胆固醇(CHOL)、甘油三酯(TG)、血糖(GLU)、肌酸激酶(CK)含量不受饲料脂肪源的影响。各组黄颡鱼肝脏中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、丙二醛(MDA)、谷胱甘肽S转移酶(GST)活性有显著差异。椰子油(CO)组的SOD和GST活性最高,而MDA含量最低。研究表明,在添加豆油的基础上,椰子油、苏子油、葵花籽油和鱼油与葵花籽油1∶1混合油都可以用作黄颡鱼饲料的脂肪源;证实了鱼体组织中脂肪酸组成基本可以反映饲料脂肪酸组成,并且说明了黄颡鱼具有延长和去饱和ALA和LA的能力。     

不同脂肪源对异育银鲫鱼种生长、消化率及体成分的影响

为了探讨不同脂肪源对异育银鲫生长、消化率和体成分的影响,在基础饲料中分别添加4%的鱼油、豆油、猪油、花生油和混合油(鱼油∶豆油∶猪油=3∶4∶3)制成5种等氮试验饲料,饲喂均重为(6.04±0.05)g的异育银鲫60d。结果表明,混合油组的增重率、特定生长率(SGR)显著高于鱼油组和猪油组(P<0.05),但与其他组无显著差异(P>0.05);蛋白质效率(PER)、饲料系数(FCR)各组间均无显著性差异(P>0.05);豆油组的肠体比显著高于鱼油组和猪油组(P<0.05);猪油组的肝体指数(HSI)显著高于鱼油组(P<0.05),猪油组的内脏指数显著高于混合油组(P<0.05);不同脂肪源对肥满度的影响不显著(P>0.05);鱼体肌肉中水分、粗蛋白、粗脂肪、粗灰分和磷各组间差异不显著(P>0.05);猪油组肝脏中粗脂肪含量显著高于鱼油组和花生油组(P<0.05);肝脏中粗蛋白鱼油组和豆油组显著高于猪油组和花生油组(P<0.05);猪油组粗蛋白和粗脂肪的表观消化率显著低于其他各组(P<0.05)。研究结果显示,当豆油和花生油单独添加时,与添加鱼油组表现出相似的生长性能、表观消化率和体成分,而单独添加猪油,鱼体对...     

脂肪源对奥尼罗非鱼体脂沉积及代谢的影响

在饲料蛋白质和能量水平均能满足生长需要的基础上,分别以猪油、豆油、鱼油和茶油作为脂肪源,配制4种饲料(油脂的添加水平为4.5%),投喂初始体质量为(4.60±0.5)g的奥尼罗非鱼幼鱼,于1.5m×1m×1m的水族箱中饲养10周。每组3个平行,每箱15尾鱼,试验水温25～28℃。研究饲料脂肪源对奥尼罗非鱼体脂沉积、脂类代谢相关酶活性及基因表达的影响。结果显示,与鱼油相比,茶油、豆油和猪油可明显提高鱼体内脂肪的含量(P0.05),其中茶油组显著高于其他组(P0.05);饲料脂肪源对肌肉中脂肪含量无显著影响,但与鱼油相比,其他脂肪源明显提高其肝体指数(P0.05),而腹脂率则相反;鱼油可明显提高肝脏中苹果酸脱氢酶和脂蛋白脂酶的活性及mRNA表达(P0.05);茶油明显降低脂肪中脂蛋白酶的活性及mRNA表达(P0.05),豆油和猪油可明显提高脂肪中苹果酸脱氢酶的活力及mRNA表达(P0.05)。饲料脂肪源对奥尼罗非鱼体脂的沉积的影响主要体现在肝脏和脂肪,而不同组织内脂蛋白酶活性及mRNA表达的变化是影响体脂沉积的主要因素。     

饲料中豆粕替代鱼粉及添加牛磺酸对翘嘴鲌生长及若干生理指标的影响

为研究豆粕替代鱼粉和添加牛磺酸及其交互作用对翘嘴鲌(Culter alburnus)幼鱼生长等指标的影响,试验设计豆粕替代鱼粉水平为0.00%、20.00%、35.00%、50.00%,牛磺酸水平为0.00%、1.00%,采用4×2双因素试验,配置了D1~D8共8个等氮(45.43%±0.80%)、等脂(9.2%±0.44%)的饲料处理组。结果显示,饲料中添加豆粕及牛磺酸对翘嘴鲌幼鱼生长性能无显著影响;随豆粕替代比例的增加,鱼体粗蛋白、粗脂肪含量显著降低(P0.05);血清谷草转氨酶(AST)、谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、碱性磷酸酶(AKP)活性及甘油三酯(TG)含量显著提高(P0.05);总胆固醇(TC)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)含量显著降低。牛磺酸显著降低了粗脂肪含量;AST、ALT、AKP活性及TG、TC、HDL-C、LDL-C含量均显著降低。豆粕替代鱼粉比例及牛磺酸对肥满度(CF)、IPF、脏体比(VSI)、AST、AKP活性及TG、TC、HDL-C、LDL-C含量具有显著交互作用。综合各项指标,本试验条件下推荐翘嘴鲌幼鱼的豆粕替代鱼粉比例是35%;添加1%牛磺酸可以改善鱼体生长性能。     

饲料中添加氧化鱼油对黑鲷幼鱼生长的影响

研究了饲料中添加氧化鱼油对黑鲷(Acanthopagrus schlegeli)生长性能、脂质过氧化及肝组织结构的影响.分别以新鲜鱼油(过氧化物值 POV,1.27 meq O2·kg-1油)与氧化酸败鱼油(POV,45 meq O2·kg-1油)为脂肪源配制等蛋等能的两种配合饲料,投喂平均体重18.9 g的黑鲷幼鱼9周.结果显示,氧化鱼油显著降低了黑鲷幼鱼的增重率(WG)、饲料效率(FE)及蛋白质效率(PER)(P＜0.05).饲料中添加氧化鱼油导致鱼体蛋白质含量极显著降低(P＜0.01)、肝脏与肌肉中脂肪含量显著升高(P＜0.05),而对鱼体、肝脏及肌肉中的水分及灰分含量无显著影响(P＞0.05).氧化鱼油组肝脏中脂质过氧化产物丙二醛(MDA)含量显著高于对照组,而维生素E含量则显著低于对照组(P＜0.05). 饲料中添加氧化鱼油显著影响黑鲷肝脏内主要抗氧化酶活性,氧化鱼油组肝脏中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)与过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性显著高于对照组(P＜0.05);组织学结果显示氧化鱼油组肝脏出现明显病变,细胞核多集中在肝细胞边缘,肝细胞变大. 统计分析表明,氧化酸败油脂显著降低了黑鲷的生长性能,加重了组织中脂质过氧化的程度,并导致肝脏组织发生病变.     

猪油对罗非鱼生长及餐后脂质代谢的影响

在实用饲料配方的基础上分别添加0%、5%、10%猪油组成试验饲料饲喂罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus)(初重43 g)8周,比较研究猪油不同添加水平对罗非鱼生长及餐后脂质代谢的影响。结果表明,罗非鱼的末重(FBW)、特定生长率(SGR)、增重率(WGR)和饲料效率(FE)随着饲料中猪油水平的增加而显著升高。而摄食量(FI)表现出相反的变化趋势,即高水平猪油组显著低于对照组。随猪油添加水平增加,罗非鱼肝胰脏超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷丙转氨酶(ALT)和谷草转氨酶(AST)活力显著降低,而肝脏丙二醛(MDA)含量显著增加。血清中甘油三酯(TG)、胆固醇(CHO)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)和极低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(VLDL-C)含量均随饲料中猪油水平增加而显著升高。各试验组罗非鱼血清中CHO、TG、LDL-C和VLDL-C含量随时间推移均表现出先升高后降低的变化趋势,TG和VLDL-C的峰值出现在餐后6h,而CHO和LDL-C峰值在餐后9 h。但HDL-C表现出相反的变化趋势,即先降低后升高,在餐后6 h达到最低值。总之,饲料中添加不同水平猪油会促进罗非鱼生长,但会影响罗非鱼的肝功能以及餐后脂质代谢,罗非鱼抗氧化能力也相应受到影响。     

饲料中添加生物素对草鱼幼鱼生长、体成分和血清生化指标的影响

在纯化饲料中分别添加生物素0、0.05、0.10、0.20、0.40、0.80、1.60 mg/kg投喂初始质量为(5.92±0.25)g的草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idellus)幼鱼8周,研究了不同生物素添加量对草鱼幼鱼生长性能、饲料系数、机体营养成分、血清生化指标的影响。试验结果显示:与对照组相比,添加生物素提高了草鱼幼鱼的增重率、特定生长率,降低了饲料系数。添加量为0.40 mg/kg时草鱼幼鱼的特定生长率和增重率最大,饲料系数最低,并与对照组存在显著差异(P<0.05);添加不同水平生物素对草鱼幼鱼全鱼水分、粗蛋白、粗脂肪含量无显著影响,但添加量为0.40 mg/kg时粗蛋白含量最大。0.10 mg/kg组和0.20 mg/kg组的全鱼灰分含量显著高于对照组(P<0.05);添加生物素对血清总蛋白(TP)、血糖(GLU)和总胆固醇(TC)无显著影响,但显著提高了血清甘油三酯(TG)含量,各添加组TG含量均显著高于对照组(P<0.05),1.60 mg/kg添加组的高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)含量显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。综合本试验结果,草鱼幼鱼饲料中生物素适宜添加量为0.40 mg/kg。     

饲料中不同脂肪源对黑鲷幼鱼生长和鱼体脂肪酸组成的影响

用相同比例,不同种类的脂肪源配制成４组试验饲料,对黑鲷幼鱼进行了４５ｄ的饲养试验。结果表明,以大豆油,鱼油为饲料脂肪源的试验组的幼鱼增重率较高,分别为３４．８＊１０＾－２和２９．３＊１０＾－２。花生油组和猪油组的幼鱼增重率分别为２５．４＊１０＾－２和２５．５＊１０＾－２,饲料转换系数分别为鱼油组１．０８,豆油组１．２１,花生油组１．３５和猪油组１．５９。从试验饲料和鱼体脂质的脂肪酸分析结果表明,鱼     

亚麻籽油替代鱼油对大菱鲆幼鱼生长、脂肪酸组成及脂肪沉积的影响

为研究亚麻籽油替代不同鱼油水平对大菱鲆幼鱼[初始体质量为(5.89±0.02)g]生长、脂肪酸组成以及肝脏和肌肉脂肪沉积的影响,以亚麻籽油分别替代0、33.3%、66.7%和100%鱼油,配制4种等氮等脂饲料。每组饲料随机投喂3组实验鱼,饱食投喂,养殖周期为92 d。结果发现,饲料亚麻籽油水平并未显著影响大菱鲆幼鱼存活率(SR)和特定生长率(SGR),但显著影响其摄食率(FI)、饲料效率(FE)和表观净蛋白利用率(ANPU)。随饲料亚麻籽油水平升高,FI显著升高,而FE和ANPU显著下降,且其均在100%亚麻籽油组分别达到最大值或最小值。饲料亚麻籽油水平并未显著影响大菱鲆饲料脂肪表观消化率、肝体比和肌肉脂肪含量。当饲料中亚麻籽油替代100%鱼油,鱼体肝脏脂肪含量显著高于全鱼油组。肝脏和肌肉脂肪酸组成与饲料脂肪酸组成相似。相对于全鱼油组,亚麻籽油替代组肌肉和肝脏中亚油酸和亚麻酸显著升高,而EPA和DHA含量显著下降。研究表明,大菱鲆饲料中亚麻籽油替代水平应低于66.7%,且大菱鲆饲料中n-3长链多不饱和脂肪酸含量需大于0.8%。     

Effects of dietary lipid sources on growth performance,lipid metabolism and antioxidant status of juvenile Russian sturgeon Acipenser gueldenstaedtii

Six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were used to test the influence of lipid source on growth performance, antioxidant status and lipid metabolism of juvenile Russian sturgeon, Acipenser gueldenstaedtii. Each diet was supplemented with 90 g kg^?1 of lipid from each of six sources including fish oil (FO), beef tallow (BT), sunflower oil (SO), linseed oil (LO) and equal combinations of FO + SO + BT (FSB) or LO + SO + BT (LSB). After 56 days, fish fed LSB demonstrated highest weight gain, specific growth rate and lowest hepatosomatic index among all groups. The n‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the whole fish were highest in the SO group, and n‐3 PUFAs were highest in fish fed LO. The fish fed FO contained highest n‐3 highly unsaturated fatty acids. Triglyceride in the serum of fish fed LSB was lowest, but was not significantly different from that in the SO group. Triglyceride in the serum of fish fed FO and BT was highest among all groups. Lipase, malate dehydrogenase and lipoprotein lipase activities were highest in fish fed LSB. Serum malondialdehyde in fish fed LSB was significantly lower than in fish fed FO or SO, but no significant differences were found among fish fed LSB, BT, LO or FSB. Fish fed LSB showed higher catalase activity and total antioxidant capacity than fish fed FO or FSB. This study indicates that linseed, sunflower oil and BT mixed oil are a suitable lipid source and can benefit growth performance and antioxidation in juvenile sturgeon.     

Effects of different dietary lipid sources on growth performance,body composition and lipid metabolism‐related enzymes and genes of juvenile golden pompano,Trachinotus ovatus

Three groups of juvenile golden pompano, Trachinotus ovatus (54.75 ± 0.25 g), were each fed one of three diets containing different lipid sources: fish oil (FO), soybean oil (SO) and lard oil (LO). Fish were reared in sea cages for 8 weeks, and the fish fed the FO diet had significantly higher specific growth rate (SGR) but lower condition factor (CF) than the other treatments. The fatty acid (FA) composition of whole‐body lipids was closely correlated with those in the diets. Although no differences can be found in hepatic fatty acid synthase (fasn) activity, the carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 (cpt1) activity in fish fed the FO diet was significantly higher compared with other treatments. In addition, the relative gene expression of lipid metabolism‐related enzymes, such as cpt1, fas, apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100), delta‐6 fatty acyl desaturase (fadsd6) and fatty acid‐binding protein 1 (fabp1), was also influenced by the different dietary lipid sources. Serum triglyceride (TG) and glucose content in fish fed the LO and FO diets were significantly higher than those in the SO group. Accordingly, it can be concluded that FO could not be completely replaced by SO or LO in golden pompano diets. The lipid sources of a diet could impose significant influence on body condition factor and hepatic lipid metabolism of golden pompano.     

不同脂肪源对红螯光壳螯虾幼虾生长、消化酶活性及其肌肉生化组成的影响

通过在人工配合饲料中分别添加5%的花生油、猪油、鱼油和豆油作为主要脂肪源,以商业饲料为对照,进行8周饲喂实验,研究不同脂肪源对红螯光壳螯虾(Cherax quadricarinatus)幼虾生长、消化酶活性及其肌肉生化组成的影响。结果显示,不同脂肪源对红螯光壳螯虾幼虾的体长增长率和特定增长率影响不显著(P0.05);但增重率各组间存在显著性差异(P0.05),以豆油组最高,达到2332.93%,花生油组最低,为1839.50%;豆油组肝胰腺指数显著高于其他各组(P0.05),为0.75%。幼虾存活率以豆油组最高(P0.05),达到83.3%,鱼油组较低,仅为56.7%。不同脂肪源饲喂组的肝胰腺胃蛋白酶活力无显著差异(P0.05);脂肪酶活力花生油组显著高于其他实验组(P0.05),为1177.23U/g(prot);淀粉酶活力各组间差异显著(P0.05),由高到低依次为鱼油组、对照组、豆油组、猪油组、花生油组;纤维素酶活力以花生油组较高,为61.14U/(gprot()P0.05)。幼虾腹部肌肉中各种脂肪酸的含量明显受到饲料中脂肪酸种类和含量的影响,饱和脂肪酸含量猪油组显著高于其他组(P0.05);单不饱和脂肪酸以花生油组含量最高,豆油组最低;多不饱和脂肪酸则以豆油组含量最高(P0.05)。在各实验组中,豆油组红螯光壳螯虾幼体具有最高的体质量增长率和存活率,较高的肝胰腺指数和肝胰腺消化酶活力,豆油组幼虾腹部肌肉中多不饱和脂肪酸尤其是亚油酸和亚麻酸含量也较高。因此,以豆油作为主要脂肪源能够满足红螯光壳螯虾幼体的生长需要,获得较好的饲养效果,并降低饲料成本。     

Effects of dietary lipids on the fatty acid composition of triglycerides and phospholipids in tissues of white sturgeon

Eight purified diets were fed to juvenile white sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus Rick, for 9 weeks to investigate the effect of dietary lipids on the fatty acid composition of phospholipids and triglycerides from muscle, liver and brain. The diets contained 150 g kg^?1 of oils from canola, corn, cod liver, lard, linseed, soybean, safflower, or a control mixture (corn oil/cod liver oil/lard, 1:1:1, by wt). Dietary lipids significantly (P≤ 05) affected the composition of tissue triglycerides and phospholipids. Tissue triglyceride fatty acid composition ranged widely, in parallel with the dietary lipids, while phospholipids changes were more conservative. Brain phospholipid fatty acid composition was less responsive to diet compared with that in muscle and liver. Considerable amounts of n-6 and n-3 long chain polyun-saturated fatty acids (> C₂₀) were found in triglycerides and phospholipids with all diets, demonstrating that white sturgeon can desaturate and elongate linoleic acid (18:2n–6) and linolenic acid (18:3n–3). Further, the products of the Δ6 desaturase, i.e. 18:3 n–6 and 18:4n–3, were relatively abundant in triglyceride, suggesting that the Δ6 desaturase might not be a limiting step in the process in white sturgeon. Nevertheless, accumulation of both EPA and DHA was greater in the sturgeon fed fish oil than those fed linseed oil, indicating that muscle triglyceride EPA and DHA levels are best enhanced by diets rich in preformed EPA and DHA.     

Effects of dietary fish oil substitution with mixed vegetable oils on growth and fillet fatty acid composition of juvenile Caspian great sturgeon (Huso huso)

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of fish oil replacement with dietary vegetable oils on growth performance, chemical composition and fatty acids profiles in fillets of farmed Caspian great sturgeon juveniles Huso huso (26.97 ± 0.49 g). Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated, containing 10 % of added oil. The diet with 100 % kilka fish oil (Caspian tyulka, Clupeonella caspia) was the control. Fish oil was substituted by 50 % of vegetable oils consisting of an equal share of sunflower and soybean oils (diet A), sunflower and canola oils (diet B) and soybean and canola oils (diet C). In diet D, 100 % of fish oil was replaced with vegetable oil (1:1:1 ratio of sunflower oil, soybean oil and canola oil). Significant differences (P > 0.05) were not detected during 60 days feeding trial in final body weight, weight gain, condition factor, specific growth rate, feed conversion rate, protein efficiency ratio and the chemical composition of fillet (crude protein, crude lipid, moisture and ash). Generally, the fatty acids composition of fish fillets was reflective of the dietary lipid sources. These results indicate the feasibility of substituting fish oils with the mixture of vegetable oils in diets of juvenile H. huso without negative influence on growth providing optimum ratios of n-3/n-6 and n-3/18:1n-9 is met in the diet.     

Effects of six alternative lipid sources on growth and tissue fatty acid composition in Japanese sea bass (Lateolabrax japonicus)

Ten-week experiment was carried out on Japanese sea bass (5.87 ± 0.02 g) to study the effects of replacement of fish oil with six alternative lipid sources: pork lard, PL; beef tallow, BT; poultry fat, PF; soybean oil, SO; corn oil, CO; and a mixed-fat (MF: tallow, 60%; soy oil, 20%; fish oil, 20%) on growth performance and fatty acid (FA) composition in fillet and liver. Seven isoenergetic and isonitrogenous experimental diets were formulated, containing 10% of added lipid. Fish oil was used in control diet, which was substituted by 50% with the alternative lipid sources in the other six diets.

Weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), Feed conversion ratio (FCR) feed intake and hepatosomatic index (HSI) of fish fed the experimental diets were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Protein efficiency ratio (PER) in fish fed the PF diet were significantly lower than those of fish fed SO and CO diets. Significant differences in carcass moisture and lipid contents of carcass and liver were observed among fish fed the dietary treatments. Generally, the fatty acid composition of fish fillets and livers reflected the dietary FA composition.     

Growth,antioxidant capacity,intestine histology and lipid metabolism of juvenile red claw crayfish,Cherax quadricarinatus,fed different lipid sources

Five dietary lipid sources (fish oil, soybean oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil and linseed oil) were evaluated in juvenile red claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus, based on the response of growth, antioxidant capacity, intestine histology, whole‐body composition, fatty acid nutrition and lipid metabolism. Crayfish were fed in quadruplicate net cages for 8 weeks. Crayfish fed diets with fish oil, soybean oil and linseed oil obtained significantly higher weight gain and specific growth rate than those fed the other two diets. Survival, condition factor and hepatosomatic index were not significantly affected by lipid sources. Lipid sources also do not affect the whole‐body composition of crayfish. Serum SOD, T‐AOC and GSH‐PX activities of crayfish fed the palm oil and rapeseed oil diets had a significantly lower value than those fed other diets. The minimum concentrations of MDA have been observed in crayfish fed the soybean oil diet. The activity of ACC in the hepatopancreas of crayfish fed the linseed oil diet showed the highest value, and the CPT‐1 activity was not significantly affected by different lipid sources. Crayfish fed the soybean oil diet showed significantly higher TC and TG contents in hepatopancreas than those fed other diets. Crayfish fed linseed oil diet had a significantly higher percentage of EPA, C18:3n?3 and Σn?3 PUFA in muscle than those fed other treatments. Most of the fatty acid compositions in the hepatopancreas had a close correlation to fatty acid compositions in diets. All findings in this study indicate that soybean oil is the advantageous lipid source for juvenile C. quadricarinatus which can reflect in satisfactory growth performance, antioxidant capacity and fatty acid nutrition of edible tissues.     

Effects of oxidized fish oil intake on tissue lipid metabolism and fatty acid composition of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

Recent studies in terrestrial animals have shown that feeding the oxidized lipids led to a reduction in triacylglycerols (TAG) and total cholesterol (TC) in liver and plasma. However, limited information is available on the effect of oxidized lipids on lipid metabolism in fish. In this study, four diets containing 0 g kg^?1 (control: fresh fish oil), 30 g kg^?1 (low‐oxidized oil, LOO), 60 g kg^?1 (medium‐oxidized oil, MOO) and 90 g kg^?1 (high‐oxidized oil, HOO) graded oxidized oil levels with the same dietary lipid level were fed to channel catfish for 86 days. The tissue lipid metabolism and fatty acid composition of the fish were investigated after this period. The results showed that plasma and liver concentrations of TAG and TC decreased with increasing dietary oxidized oil level (P < 0.05). Decreasing liver lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities were observed with increasing dietary oxidized fish oil inclusion (P < 0.05). The liver C22:6n?3 concentrations significantly decreased with increasing dietary oxidized oil level (P < 0.05), while muscle lipid had a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It suggests that the adverse effects of dietary oxidized oil may be induced by inhibiting lipid metabolism enzymes and, consequently, inhibition of cholesterol homoeostasis and fatty acid synthesis.     

Effects of alternative dietary lipid sources on growth performance,health status and fillet fatty acid composition of hybrid sturgeon (Acipenser baeri Brandt ♀ × Acipenser schrenckii Brandt ♂)

An 8‐week trial was conducted to determine the effects of total replacement of 12.9% fish oil (FO) with soybean oil (SBO), peanut oil (PNO), sunflower seed oil (SFSO), corn oil (CO) and canola oil (CNO) on growth performance, health status and fillet fatty acid composition of hybrid sturgeon (194.28 ± 0.14 g). Compared to the FO group, dietary SBO decreased growth performance (p < .05), increased serum glucose and hepatic lipid content (p < .05). No obvious adverse effects on growth performance and health status were observed in PNO, SFSO and CO groups (p > 0.05). The fish fed with CNO had increased growth performance (p < .05), reduced serum ALT, AST, LDL‐C (p < .05) and enhanced serum GSH‐Px, T‐AOC, and LZM, MPO, C4 (p < .05). The contents of C18:1n9, C18:2n6, and ∑n‐3 PUFA and ∑n‐6 PUFA in fillets showed a positive linear correlation with the diets (p < .05). In summary, PNO, SFSO and CO are probable alternative lipid sources to fully replace FO. Hybrid sturgeon prefers to use CNO as a lipid source with improved growth performance and health status. The fillet fatty acid composition mirrors the dietary fatty acid composition.
