The effect of different levels of dietary phospholipid on growth, survival and nutrient composition of early juvenile cobia (Rachycentron canadum)

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of dietary phospholipid (PL) on growth, survival and nutrient composition of 25 days posthatch cobia Rachycentron canadum (0.4 g initial wet weight). For 42 days, fish were fed fish meal and protein hydrolysate based diets containing four PL levels (0, 20, 40 and 80 g kg^?1dry matter: purity 97%) and phosphatidylcholine purity was 60%. All diets were isonitrogenous and isolipidic by regulating the fish oil and maize oil levels. Weight gain (2601–10892%), specific growth ratio (7.82–11.18) and survival (49–100) were significantly affected by dietary PL. Intraperitoneal fat ratio (0.19–0.74) and hepatosomatic index (2.67–3.08) increased with dietary PL level. The effect of dietary PL levels on the chemical composition of tissues was significant only for whole body and liver. The contents of plasma total cholesterol (2.47–3.77 mmol L^?1) and PL (1.03–2.97 mmol L^?1) increased with an increase in dietary PL. In conclusion, in our study survival and growth continued to increase even at the highest PL levels used (80 g kg^?1); therefore optimal dietary PL levels may well exceed 80 g kg^?1 for early juvenile cobia requirement. It also indicated from the experiment that PL could affect lipid deposition and resulted in a higher lipid level in fish tissue.     

Growth and intestinal morphology in cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fed extruded diets with two types of soybean meal partly replacing fish meal

Juvenile cobias, Rachycentron canadum, were fed extruded diets containing toasted defatted soybean meal (SBM) or untoasted defatted SBM [white flakes (WF)] to study growth and feed conversion, and to study if SBM induces morphological changes in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Three diets were produced: a fish meal‐based control diet (FM diet) with 558 g FM kg^?1, and two diets with 335 g FM and either 285 g SBM kg^?1 (SBM diet) or 285 g WF kg^?1 (WF diet). The diets were extruded at approximately 120°C with 280 g kg^?1 moisture. Triplicate groups of cobias (mean weight: 25.9 g) were fed the diets during 6 weeks. Feed intake of the FM and SBM diets were not significantly different, whereas the cumulative feed intake of cobias fed the WF diet was lower (P < 0.05) than that of cobias fed the FM and SBM diets after the first 21‐day period. Specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio were not significantly different between cobias fed the FM and SBM diets, but significantly poorer results were obtained in cobias fed the WF diet. No morphological differences in the GI tract could be attributed to the diets, and cobias fed soy did not develop enteritis in the distal intestine.

Pond Culture of Larval and Juvenile Cobia,Rachycentron canadum,in the Southeastern United States

Abstract

The potential of growing larval and juvenile cobia, Rach-ycentron canadum, in ponds was investigated. Larval cobia, obtained from tank spawning of wild-caught adults, were stocked 48-72-h post-hatch at a rate of 700,000/ha into three fertilized 0.25-ha ponds. At one week post-stocking (WPS), fish were observed consuming formulated feed. Growth was rapid, with specific growth rates (SGR) ranging from 12.5-19.2% body weight/day. At harvest (5 WPS) fish reared in two ponds weighed 7.9 and 9.3 g and total length (TL) was 118.9 and 129.3 mm, respectively (all fish reared in remaining pond died the night prior to harvest due to aerator failure). Feed conversion ratio (FCR) was 3.8 for both ponds and survival was 5.3 and 8.5%. Low survival rates were thought to be due primarily to cannibalism. Immediately after harvest, fish were restocked into two 0.25-ha ponds at a stocking rate of 14,400/ ha. Fish were fed formulated, pelleted feeds. Growth was rapid up to ～9 WPS, after which pond water temperatures declined. Ponds were harvested at 13 and 15 WPS, respectively. Final weight of fish was 309.9 and 362.5 g. Final TL was 343.1 and 355.7 mm. FCR was 3.8 and 4.5 and survival was 27.5 and 30.5%. Major losses of fish were associated with avian predators and possibly a toxic algal bloom. Results of trials indicate that cobia larvae and juveniles can be reared in pond-based culture systems, however additional research is needed to refine this approach.     

Evaluation of egg quality in broodstock cobia Rachycentron canadum L.

Twenty egg batches spawned naturally from 17 different females over two spawning seasons were used to evaluate the egg quality of cobia Rachycentron canadum. A reduction in egg size was observed towards the end of the spawning season for both years. The proportion of floating eggs demonstrated a positive linear relationship with both yolk‐sac larval survival (r²=0.91, P<0.05) and batch larval production (r²=0.80, P<0.01). Viable egg batches (i.e. fertilization success >50%) were of higher batch fecundity, had larger eggs and a higher proportion of floating eggs than non‐viable batches (i.e. 0% fertilization success). Also, biochemical analyses revealed that these viable eggs had significantly higher protein and amino acid contents. A multiple regression model based on the proportion of floating eggs, batch fecundity and fertilization success provided the most accurate predictions of batch larval production (r²=0.95, P<0.001). Similarly, using the egg content of arginine/glycine and methionine significantly increased the correlation coefficient in the multiple regression model predicting larval deformity (r²=0.92, P=0.002). This study reveals that accurate determination of egg quality in cobia can be improved using a combination of several variables rather than a single variable.     

冰点调节剂对军曹鱼冰点的控制研究

研究几种冰点调节剂对于军曹鱼（Rachycentroncanadum）冰点的影响。选取氯化钙（CaCl2）、氯化钠（NaCl）和维生素C（Vc）3种冰点调节剂,利用单因素比较法得出使用4％CaCl2浸泡处理60min可使军曹鱼冰点降至-1．21oC;用2％NaCl浸泡处理军曹鱼90min可使军曹鱼冰点由-1．01cC降至-1．36℃;使用0．5％V,溶液浸泡处理30min可使其冰点降至-1．30℃。因此选取NaCl和Vc 2种较好的冰点调节剂进行复配,再通过正交试验确定两者结合使用的最佳配比。结果显示,使用3％NaCl和0．3％V。共同处理军曹鱼60min为最佳,可使其冰点降至-1．62℃,下降了60．4％。

Combined effects of a simulated marine heatwave and an algal toxin on a tropical marine aquaculture fish cobia (Rachycentron canadum)

Ongoing global warming is one of the major challenges for the development of aquaculture in the tropical regions where species are already cultured in the water temperature close to their upper physiological thresholds. Furthermore, warming can trigger blooms of toxic algae, yet we do not know how extreme warming such as a marine heatwave (MHW) and algal toxins may affect marine aquaculture species. To address this issue, we investigated the effects of a simulated MHW in combination with exposure to trans‐4‐trans‐decadienal (PUA), a diatom‐derived toxin, on survival, growth, development and biochemical composition of cobia larvae and juveniles. Cobia larvae were exposed for 48 hr to one of two temperatures (29 vs. 34°C) and two PUA treatments (0 vs. 0.5 µM). Surviving larvae from each treatment were divided into two subsets: three replicates were used for the feeding test and five replicates were used for the recovery test in a non‐contaminated environment at the respective temperatures of 29 or 34°C. Survival of cobia larvae was reduced by 16% in either MHW or PUA, but it dropped by 60% when both stressors were present, indicating a synergistic effect. MHW, but not PUA, reduced the feeding of cobia larvae. PUA had no delayed effects on growth rate and biochemical composition of the fish. MHW strongly reduced specific growth rate, body protein and lipid contents in cobia. Our results provide the first empirical evidence of how MHW and toxic algae may interact and challenge cobia and marine aquaculture production in tropical countries.
