Abstract: | The effect of dietary medicinal herbs on lipid metabolism and stress recovery was investigated in red sea bream Pagrus major. Fish (mean body weight 24.0 ± 0.2 g) were fed on test fish meal diets supplemented with either Massa Medicata (Mm), Crataegi
Fructus (Cf), Artemisia capillaries (Ac), or Cnidium officinale (Co), or with a mixture of the four herbs (HM) for 12 weeks. A control group was fed a diet without herbs in the same manner.
A high survival rate was observed in the herbal diet groups. The final mean body weight, feed efficiency, protein efficiency
ratio, and apparent protein and lipid retention in the Ac, Co, and HM groups were higher than those in the control and Mm
groups. Final carcass, hepatic lipid and triglyceride contents, and plasma triglyceride and nonesterified fatty acid levels
were lower in the Ac, Co, and HM groups compared to those of control and Mm groups. However, final hepatic phospholipid, plasma
phospholipid, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were higher in the Ac, Co, and HM diets groups than in the control
and Mm groups. The Cf, Co, Ac, and HM groups showed faster recovery time in the 2-phenoxyethanol anesthesia test and a higher
recovery rate in the 10-min air exposure test than those of the control and Mm groups. Moreover, the Cf, Ac, Co, and HM diet
groups had a significantly lower plasma cortisol level than the control and Mm diet group, but the glucose level in the herbal
diet groups was higher than that in the control group after a 1-h air exposure. These results indicate that the addition of
medicinal herbs to the fish diet improved lipid utilization and stress recovery in red sea bream. |
