Influence of different dietary amino acid patterns on growth and body composition of juvenile Japanese flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus

A feeding trial using five semi-purified diets (50% crude protein) was conducted to investigate the effects of different dietary amino acid patterns on growth and body composition of juvenile Japanese flounder. The control diet contained casein and gelatin as intact protein sources and four other diets contained 30% casein–gelatin (2:1, w/w) and 20% crystalline amino acids (CAA). CAA were added to the diets to simulate the amino acid pattern found in red sea bream egg protein (REP), Japanese flounder larvae whole body protein (FLP), Japanese flounder juvenile whole body protein (FJP), and brown fish meal protein (BFP), respectively. The test diets were fed to triplicate groups of juveniles (2.75±0.05 g) twice a day for 40 days to evaluate weight gain, survival, feed conversion efficiency (FCE), protein efficiency ratio (PER), and apparent protein utilization (APU). The apparent retention of total dietary amino acids in the whole body and A/E ratios of the whole body were also evaluated. The highest weight gain was observed in fish fed the diet containing the dietary amino acid pattern of BFP followed by fish fed the control, FJP, FLP and the REP diets. Percent survival, FCE, PER and APU were also significantly (P<0.05) affected by the amino acid pattern in the diets, indicating the highest value in fish fed the BFP diet. Except for a few amino acids, the amino acid composition of the whole body did not show marked differences with different dietary amino acid pattern. Results suggest that BFP could be more suitable as a reference amino acid pattern in the diet of juvenile Japanese flounder compared to the amino acid pattern of FLP, FJP or REP.     

Influence of gonadotropic hormone-releasing hormone analog (GnRH-A) on plasma sex steroid profiles and milt production in male winter flounder,Pseudopleuronectes americanus (Walbaum)

The effects of gonadotropic hormone-releasing hormone analog (GnRH-A) treatment on the onset and duration of increases in plasma sex steroids and milt production (milt volume and number of spermatozoa) were investigated in prespawning male winter flounder. After treatment of maturing males during the winter with a single injection of either 20 or 200 g/kg [D-Ala⁶, Pro⁹-NHEt]LHRH (GnRH-A), plasma levels of testosterone and 11-ketotestosterone were increased within 12h and the steroid hormone levels remained elevated for long periods lasting several days. The androgenic steroid response of males was delayed after the administration of a lower dose of GnRH-A (2 g/kg). Although a single GnRH-A injection in December or January advanced the onset of spermiation in some males, only small amounts (<50 l) of milt could be collected. By March, all males were in spermiating condition following GnRH-A treatment; however, significant increases in sperm production, particularly increases in milt volume, occurred in fish twice treated with GnRH-A.Part of this work presented at the First Symposium of Fish Endocrinology, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada June 1988 and the Satellite Symposium on Applications of Comparative Endocrinology to Fish Culture, Almuñecar, Granada, Spain May 1989     

Dietary dehulled soybean meal as a replacement for fish meal in fingerling and growing olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck et Schlegel)

Two experiments were conducted to determine the optimum dietary inclusion level of dehulled soybean meal (DHSM) as a fish meal (FM) replacement in diets for olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. All the experimental diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous and isoenergetic to contain 50% crude protein (CP) and 16.7 kJ energy g^?1 diet. In the first experiment, eight diets were formulated to replace FM with DHSM at 0%, 10%, 20% without amino acid (AA) supplementation; 20%, 30%, 40% with AA supplementation and 30%, 40% with AA & attractant supplementation (DHSM₀, DHSM₁₀, DHSM₂₀, DHSM_20+AA, DHSM_30+AA, DHSM_30+AA+Att, DHSM_40+AA, DHSM_40+AA+Att respectively). Triplicate groups of 25 fish averaging 5.0±0.04 g (mean±SD) were fed one of eight experimental diets for 8 weeks. In the second experiment, six diets were formulated to replace FM with DHSM at 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% without attractant supplementation and 20%, 30% with attractant supplementation (DHSM₀, DHSM₁₀, DHSM₂₀, DHSM₃₀, DHSM_20+Att, DHSM_30+Att respectively). Triplicate groups of 15 fish averaging 45.5±0.08 g (mean±SD) were fed one of six experimental diets for 10 weeks. Based on growth performance, we concluded that DHSM could replace FM up to 20% without AAs (lysine and methionine) and attractant supplementation, and up to 30% with AAs and/or attractant supplementation in diets for fingerling and growing olive flounder.     

Maternal and genetic effects on individual variation during early development in Japanese flounder <Emphasis Type="Italic">Paralichthys olivaceus</Emphasis>

ABSTRACT:   To investigate the changes in maternal effects during early development in Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus , four-by-four factorial mating by artificial fertilization was performed to produce 16 families. Larvae and juveniles of each family were reared under common environmental conditions until completion of metamorphosis. The magnitude of maternal effects was estimated as the differences between sire and dam variance. Maternal effects were highest at hatching, and then disappeared at 30 days after hatching. During early development, larval size at hatching was largely affected by egg size, but this effect decreased as larvae grew. Estimated mean heritability during early development was nearly constant (0.14 ± 0.06 for total length and 0.10 ± 0.05 for body depth). Therefore, it is suggested that early development in Japanese flounder is affected by both maternal effect and genetic factors.     

Assessment of sex and evaluation of ovarian maturation of fish using ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is a non‐invasive method that can be used to assess sex and maturity of fish. This study was conducted to examine the feasibility of using ultrasound images to sex juvenile and mature halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus (Linnaeus), mature winter Pleuronectes americanus (Walbaum) and yellowtail flounder Pleuronectes ferruginea (Storer) and mature haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus (Linnaeus). In females, both immature and mature ovaries were relatively easy to distinguish, but in males only mature testes were consistently distinguishable. Ovarian maturation of haddock and ovulatory cycles of halibut may also be assessed using ultrasound.     

Identification and characterization of Japanese flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus interferon-stimulated gene 15 (Jf-ISG15)

Previously, using cDNA microarray analysis, we demonstrated that an EST clone of Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) with homology to mammalian interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) was strongly induced by treatment with DNA vaccine encoding the glycoprotein gene of Hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV). In this study, we conducted molecular cloning and expression analysis of the Japanese flounder ISG15 (Jf-ISG15). Jf-ISG15 encoded two exons. The first exon was non-coding, while the second exon encoded a protein of 158 amino acids. The coded protein has two tandem ubiquitin-like domains with a carboxyl-terminus conjugation motif “LRLRGG”. Phylogenetic analysis revealed an evolutionary relationship among Jf-ISG15, mammalian and fish ISG15 orthologues. The interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) sites were conserved among DNA sequences of Jf-ISG15 and mammalian ISG15 promoter regions. An RT-PCR analysis of healthy tissues showed that Jf-ISG15 mRNA was notably strongly expressed in gills, PBLs and spleen. Expression of Jf-ISG15 was strongly induced by poly-I:C treatment in head-kidney cells, peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) and spleen cells, and by HIRRV infection in kidney of juvenile fish suggesting that Jf-ISG15 plays a role in fish antiviral response.
