The effects of stress and storage temperature on the colour and texture of pre-rigor filleted farmed cod (Gadus morhua L.)

This experiment deals with the effects of pre‐slaughter stress and storage temperature on muscle pH, fillet contraction, colour and texture in pre‐rigor filleted farmed cod fillets. The fish were either sedated with a low dose of MS‐222 (14.3 mg L^?1) (unstressed groups) or exposed to the air for 3 min (stressed groups) before being submerged in a benzocaine bath (150 g L^?1). The fish were then killed by a blow to the head, their gills cut, filleted and finally stored at either 4 or 20°C. The stressed groups had significantly lower pH values after slaughter (pH=7.0) than the unstressed groups (pH=7.3). This difference was maintained until post rigor for the fish stored at 4°C, but at 20°C it was immediately overshadowed by a decrease in pH caused by temperature‐dependent processes. The length contraction and changes in registered colour values were more pronounced at both the higher temperature and the higher level of pre‐slaughter stress. Again temperature dominated, but significant and consistent effects were registered from stress. No significant effects of stress on texture post rigor were observed. It is concluded that high storage temperature masks the majority of effects caused by pre‐slaughter stress on the measured variables. Stress management protocols, however, are important when the fillets are kept at the common storage temperature of 4°C.     

Enrichment of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) fillets with conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids by dietary manipulation

An experiment was conducted in aquaria with channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) to determine the efficacy of augmenting fillets with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n − 3 HUFA) by feeding diets amended with products containing high levels of these nutrients. Refined menhaden fish oil at 1.5% of diet supplied the n − 3 HUFA. CLA was used at dietary levels of 0.5% and 1% with a preparation that contained approximately 65% isomers of CLA. Corn oil was added to the basal diet at maximum inclusion level for added lipids of 3% for the control diet and to adjust total added lipid content of the other diets to 3%. Average initial body weight was 57.39 ± 0.25 g/fish. Six experimental diets were fed twice daily to four replicate aquaria for six weeks. At that time, fish were group weighed for determination of weight gain and feed conversion. Fillets of six fish per aquarium were recovered and stored at − 80 °C for moisture and total lipid analyses, fatty acid analysis, and sensory evaluation. Results showed feed consumption and feed conversion did not differ (P > 0.05). Significantly (P < 0.05) greater body weight gains were observed only for fish fed the diets with two combinations of CLA and 1.5% fish oil compared to fish fed the diet containing 0.5% CLA and corn oil. Fillet n − 3 HUFA levels were significantly (P < 0.05) elevated for fish fed diets containing fish oil when compared to n − 3 HUFA of fillets of fish fed diets containing either corn oil or CLA and corn oil. Similarly, fillets from fish fed diets amended with CLA contained substantial amounts of CLA of up to 6.4% of total lipids. Fillets from fish fed corn oil or fish oil diets had no CLA. Taste panel evaluation indicated that fillets containing n − 3 HUFA and CLA were essentially without fishy off-flavor and had excellent sensory qualities. Catfish fillets produced by amending diets with sources of n − 3 HUFA and CLA at the levels used in this study would contain elevated levels of these nutraceuticals and could be an important human food source for these healthful fatty acids.     

Modification of tissue fatty acid composition in Murray cod (Maccullochella peelii peelii, Mitchell) resulting from a shift from vegetable oil diets to a fish oil diet

The dynamics of fatty acid composition modifications were examined in tissues of Murray cod fed diets containing fish oil (FO), canola oil (CO) and linseed oil (LO) for a 25‐week period and subsequently transferred to a FO (finishing/wash‐out) diet for a further 16 weeks. At the commencement of the wash‐out period, following 25 weeks of vegetable oil substitution diets, the fatty acid compositions of Murray cod fillets were reflective of the respective diets. After transfer to the FO diet, differences decreased in quantity and in numerousness, resulting in a revert to the FO fatty acid composition. Changes in percentages of the fatty acids and total accumulation in the fillet could be described by exponential equations and demonstrated that major modifications occurred in the first days of the finishing period. A dilution model was tested to predict fatty acid composition. In spite of a general reliability of the model (Y=0.9234X+0.4260, R²=0.957, P<0.001, where X is the predicted percentage of fatty acid; Y the observed percentage of fatty acid), in some instances the regression comparing observed and predicted values was markedly different from the line of equity, indicating that the rate of change was higher than predicted (i.e. Y=0.4205X+1.191, R²=0.974, P<0.001, where X is the predicted percentage of α‐linolenic acid; Y the observed percentage of α‐linolenic acid). Ultimately, using the coefficient of distance (D), it was shown that the fatty acid composition of fish previously fed the vegetable oil diets returned to the average variability of the fillet fatty acid composition of Murray cod after 70 or 97 days (LO and CO respectively).     

Seasonal changes in selected muscle quality parameters in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) reared under natural and continuous light

In order to investigate how seasonal variation in growth affects selected fillet quality parameters, immature Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) were reared under simulated natural photoperiod (SNP) for 12 months or continuous light (LL) from January to June followed by SNP until December. Photoperiod treatments advanced the growth rate pattern of the LL group compared with the SNP group and influenced macronutrient metabolism, evaluated both as trends in protein and lipid retention and in fillet lipid and protein levels. Good growth was associated with low fillet lipid and protein level, in addition to reduced levels of fillet tocopherol and astaxanthin, indicating increased oxidative stress. Elevated levels of thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARs) further supported this. Slaughtering during periods of high growth may therefore reduce postmortem quality, both because of increased susceptibility to fillet lipid peroxidation and reduced astaxanthin levels, which were lowered in vivo and might consequently be depleted further after slaughter. Specialized use of antioxidant‐rich feed prior to slaughter is suggested if slaughtering is expected to occur during periods of high growth rate.     

Effect of different dietary fat content and fat type on the growth and body composition of intensively reared pikeperch Sander lucioperca (L.)

Two, 42‐day feeding experiments were carried out in aquaria working in a recirculation system, to determine the influence of the different dietary fat levels and fat sources on the growth and body composition of pikeperch fingerlings. In the first experiment three levels of dietary fat (F0: 60; F1: 120; F2: 180 g kg^?1) were tested, compared with a commercial diet (Trouvit, 240 g kg^?1 fat content). F1 and F2 were formulated by adding fish oil. Best growing and feed conversion ratio was obtained with the commercial control diet, which produced also the highest total body fat (117 g kg^?1) while respective values of fish fed on the other three diets varied between 74.1 and 85.1 g kg^?1. Different feeds had no significant differences in crude protein content of the fish body. In the second test, besides feeds F0, F1 and F2, two additional feeds were formulated containing 127 g kg^?1 (L1) and 178 g kg^?1 (L2) crude fat (from linseed oil). Dietary fat levels and fat sources had significant effect neither on growth nor on feed conversion ratio. Chemical composition of the whole body did not change significantly due to the different feeds. Linseed oil had a decreasing effect on the sum of saturated fatty acids and increased the oleic and the α‐linoleic acid proportions in fillet. However, total polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) proportion remained constant.     

Comparison of growth, fillet yield and proximate composition between Stirling Nile tilapia (wild type) (Oreochromis niloticus, Linnaeus) and red hybrid tilapia (Florida red tilapia×Stirling red O. niloticus) males

A comparison was made of some productive traits of Stirling Nile tilapia (wild type) (Oreochromis niloticus, Linnaeus) and red hybrid tilapia (Florida red tilapia× Stirling red O. niloticus) males during a 98‐day grow‐out period. Twenty‐two males from each genetic group with initial weights of 139.0 g for O. niloticus and 207.3 g for the red hybrid were placed in triplicate tanks. The fish were fed with a feed containing 36.8% crude protein. Survival was 97.0% for the red hybrid and 83.3% for O. niloticus. Daily individual weight gains were 2.95 and 2.50 g and final body weights were 473.0 and 348.8 g for the red hybrid and O. niloticus respectively. Fillet yield was similar for both the species, with 33.4% for the red hybrid and 32.0% for O. niloticus. Fresh fillet lipid content was perceptibly less in the red hybrid (0.33%) than in O. niloticus (2.07%). Some benefits of a red low‐fat tilapia genotype are discussed.     

The relationship between flesh quality and numbers of Kudoa thyrsites plasmodia and spores in farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L

Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., were exposed to Kudoa thyrsites (Myxozoa, Myxosporea)-containing sea water for 15 months, and then harvested and assessed for parasite burden and fillet quality. At harvest, parasites were enumerated in muscle samples from a variety of somatic and opercular sites, and mean counts were determined for each fish. After 6 days storage at 4 degrees C, fillet quality was determined by visual assessment and by analysis of muscle firmness using a texture analyzer. Fillet quality could best be predicted by determining mean parasite numbers and spore counts in all eight tissue samples (somatic and opercular) or in four fillet samples, as the counts from opercular samples alone showed greater variability and thus decreased reliability. The variability in both plasmodia and spore numbers between tissue samples taken from an individual fish indicated that the parasites were not uniformly distributed in the somatic musculature. Therefore, to best predict the probable level of fillet degradation caused by K. thyrsites infections, multiple samples must be taken from each fish. If this is performed, a mean plasmodia count of 0.3 mm(-2) or a mean spore count of 4.0 x 10(5) g(-1) of tissue are the levels where the probability of severe myoliquefaction becomes a significant risk.     

Evaluation of Physicochemical and Sensory Properties of Sausages Made with Washed and Unwashed Mince from Nile Tilapia By-products

This study evaluates the effects of inclusion level (60 to 100%) and washing cycles (0 to 2) of minced fish from Nile tilapia fillet by-products on proximate composition, mineral contents, color, hardness, and sensory acceptance of sausages. A complete 2² factorial experimental design was used. Regression models for protein, fat, moisture, minerals, color, and hardness were developed. The optimum combinations for the independent variables are sausages made with 100% non-washed minced fish, which represents a better use of by-products without generating washing residues, leading to less expensive sausage with higher nutritional value.     

Effects of Potassium Lactate and Acetate on Listeria monocytogenes Inhibition,Physicochemical and Sensory Properties of Smoked Catfish Fillets

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of liquid and wood smoking with a potassium lactate (PL) and acetate (PA) combination on the quality and inhibition of L. monocytogenes growth in ready-to-eat (RTE) smoked catfish fillets. Catfish fillets were tumbled with PL and PA, and treated with no smoke (NS), wood smoke (WS), liquid smoke 1 (LS1), and liquid smoke 2 (LS2). Wood smoke with antimicrobials (WSWA) showed greater inhibition (p < 0.05) of L. monocytogenes growth than other treatments with the exception of the LS1 treatment with antimicrobials. Consumers preferred (p < 0.05) smoked catfish fillets treated with WS to LS1 with respect to appearance, odor, flavor, texture, and overall acceptability. In conclusion, the use of PL and PA did not have a negative impact on the quality and sensory properties of smoked catfish fillets but had a synergistic effect with wood smoke constituents that inhibited the growth of L. monocytogenes.
