Influence of dietary fat level on feed intake, growth and fat deposition in the whitefish Coregonus lavaretus

Whitefish, Coregonus lavaretus, of initial mean weight 260–265 g were fed either a high-fat or a low-fat diet (dietary fat: 27.5% vs. 12.6%) to examine the influence of dietary fat level on feed intake, growth and patterns of fat deposition. The fish were held at 14.5 °C under a 24L:0D photoperiod, and were fed for 4 h each day. The experiment was run for 11 weeks during which feed intake (three times by X-radiography) and growth were monitored. Samples of fish were taken for body composition analysis at the start and end of the experiment. There were only small differences between dietary treatment groups in feed intake and final body weights, but the body composition of the fish was significantly influenced by the fat content of the diet. The whitefish fed the high-fat diet tended to have higher relative fat contents in the viscera [% fat as mean (SD): 29.6 (9.4)% vs. 22.1 (10.0)%] and carcass [% fat: 12.7 (1.9)% vs. 10.5 (1.3)%] than their counterparts fed the low-fat diet. This resulted in a higher whole-body fat concentration [% fat: 14.0 (1.9)% vs. 11.5 (1.5)%] amongst the fish fed the high-fat diet, and these fish had a higher energy gain than the whitefish fed the low-fat diet. The results confirm that it is possible to manipulate the chemical composition of whitefish by changing dietary composition. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998     

Is there lipostatic regulation of feed intake in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L.?

High‐energy feeds, with increased fat concentrations, are often used in salmon farming to improve feed:gain ratio. However, fish are thought to regulate ingestion to meet their energy and nutrient intake requirements. Further, feeds with excessive fat content will lead to increased adiposity, which is thought to exert a negative feedback on feed intake via lipostatic regulation mechanisms. A test of the lipostatic model of feed intake regulation was carried out on juvenile Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. (c. 165 g) in which body fat content (5.6% and 9.4% body fat) had been manipulated by feeding feeds with different fat concentrations. Thereafter, the fish were offered the high‐ and low‐fat feeds (15.6% and 26.5% dietary fat content) simultaneously, and our hypothesis was that feed preference and intake would reflect the state of fat storage. Thus, we predicted that, when given a choice of feeds, the lean fish would eat more, and that the body fat status of the groups would converge over time. The results indicated a general preference for the leaner feed irrespective of adiposity level, but leaner fish consumed more feed, grew faster and deposited more body fat than their fatter counterparts. Over time, body compositions converged among treatments, and differences in feed intake ablated. These findings seem to provide supportive evidence for a lipostatic regulation of feed intake in fish.     

Dietary fat content and feed supply influence growth and body composition in juvenile beluga sturgeon (Huso huso)

This study is to evaluate the impacts of two levels of fat on the fish growth, feed intake, and compositions of muscle, liver, and viscera on the juvenile Huso huso. There were four treatments: two experimental diets (high-fat: 30% and low-fat: 15%) and two feeding levels (100 or 60% of satiation). The treatments were assigned to 16 tanks each with 15 fish, with four replicates for each treatment. Beluga sturgeon juveniles with an initial weight of 61.3?±?4.4?g were reared for 3?months. Increasing fat content of the diets resulted in an increased final weight (621.8 vs. 467.5?g for high-fat and low-fat diets, respectively, at 100% feeding level; p?<?0.01), but had no impact on feed conversion rate (FCR; p?>?0.05). Total feed intake was increased by the use of high-fat diet (487.8 vs. 365.0?g for high-fat and low-fat diets, respectively, at 100% feeding level; p?<?0.01). Results also showed no interactions between fat level of the diets and feeding level in final weight and FCR. Beluga sturgeon muscle and liver fed high-fat diets contained higher fat than those fed low-fat diets (186.5 and 329.6 vs. 144.1 and 261.9?g?kg^?1 for high-fat and low-fat diets, respectively, at 100% feeding level; p?<?0.01), and feeding levels did not change protein content of the examined organs. In conclusion, beluga sturgeon shows an enhanced growth on high-fat diet, and feed intake does not reduce by the use of high-fat diets.     

Lipostatic regulation of feed intake in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. defending adiposity at the expense of growth?

Production of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. utilizes feeds with high fat concentrations to give low feed:gain. However, increased dietary fat content inevitably leads to increased body fat deposition, and salmon with very high fat concentrations in the muscle (fillet) are regarded as being of inferior quality. Adiposity is thought to participate in the regulation of feed intake by means of negative feedback control. Thus, elevated adiposity is predicted to result in lower feed consumption, and thereby possibly impair growth. We tested the hypothesis that high body fat content in salmon would lead to reduced feed intake and growth. Salmon (740 g) were preconditioned with high‐ or low‐fat feed (38.8 and 27.8% dietary fat content) for 10 weeks to establish differences in body fat storage (build‐up phase). Thereafter, fat and lean fish (19.4% and 16.7% body fat content) were fed the high‐ and low‐fat feeds for an additional 7 weeks (Phase Two). During Phase Two, the fat fish consumed 30% less feed than lean fish, which resulted in corresponding differences in growth. The differences in adiposity seen at the end of the build‐up phase were still evident at trial end. Groups of fish, which were preconditioned with the same feed during the build‐up phase, had similar feed consumption and growth to each other during Phase Two, indicating that body fat was playing an important role in the regulation of feed intake.     

大豆浓缩蛋白替代鱼粉对大菱鲆摄食、生长及体组成的影响

研究了大豆浓缩蛋白(SPC)替代鱼粉对大菱鲆生长及生理生化指标的影响。5种饲料分别含有0、12.0%、25.0%、37.0%和49.5%的SPC以替代相应的鱼粉,并分别添加0、0.83%、1.65%、2.48%和3.30%的必需氨基酸混合物(L-lysine∶DL-methionine∶L-leucine∶Lvaline∶L-threonine=18∶6∶3∶2.5∶2)以平衡各组饲料的氨基酸组成。每种饲料投喂3个水族箱(300 L),每个水族箱放养实验鱼16尾,实验鱼初始体质量为(31.1±0.1)g。经过9周生长实验,结果显示随着饲料中SPC替代水平的升高,大菱鲆摄食率、特定生长率均显著下降(P0.001)。然而,当使用0~37.0%的SPC替代鱼粉时,各处理组饲料效率和蛋白质效率未出现显著差异(P0.05)。饲料中SPC替代鱼粉对大菱鲆鱼体水分、粗蛋白、粗脂肪及灰分含量均无显著影响(P0.05)。各处理组干物质和粗蛋白的表观消化率之间也未出现显著差异(P0.05)。研究表明,在本实验条件下SPC不能作为大菱鲆饲料中替代鱼粉的有效蛋白源,造成SPC替代效果较差的主要原因是其对大菱鲆饲料适口性的显著影响。     

Supplementation of various meals to fish meal diet for chum salmon fry

In a 6-week feeding experiment, chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta, swim-up fry, were fed fish meal diets supplemented with silkworm pupae powder (5%), dried beef liver (5%), krill meal (5%) or earthworm powder (5%) at the expense of fish meal, or substituting glucose (13%) for dextrin. Fish fed the diet with earthworm powder showed the best growth performance (675% weight gain in 6 weeks) and feed efficiency (117%). The growth rate and feed efficiency of the krill meal group were also significantly better than those of the control group (without supplement or substitution). Substitution of glucose and supplementation of silkworm pupae or beef liver failed to improve the growth rate, but significantly improved feed efficiency. Food consumption of fish fed the diet supplemented with earthworms was lowest, and none of the dietary treatments appreciably increased food intake of the fish over that of the control group. The dietary group receiving earthworm powder also showed significantly higher body fat content than the remaining dietary groups. No significant differences were noted in body protein and ash contents among all dietary treatments.     

Blue mussel meal as feed attractant in rapeseed protein‐based diets for turbot (Psetta maxima L.)

Antinutritional factors in rapeseed products have been identified to reduce feed palatability and growth performance of turbot. Therefore, we evaluated the potential of blue mussel (Mytilus edulis L.) meal as feed attractant in rapeseed protein‐based diets for turbot. Triplicate fish groups received isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets with fish meal (FM) protein replacements of 50% or 75% by rapeseed protein concentrate (RPC 50, RPC 75). These diets were supplemented with 0%, 2%, 4% or 8% of blue mussel meal. In contrast with RPC 50 diets, fish fed with RPC 75/0 showed significantly reduced daily feed intake (DFI) and specific growth rate (SGR). With increasing mussel meal inclusion, RPC 75 diets resulted in increased DFI and SGR, suggesting mussel meal as attractant in rapeseed protein‐based diets for turbot. Feed conversion was unaffected by any treatment. Protein productive value and apparent digestibility coefficients were unaffected by either RPC or mussel meal inclusion. With regard to the whole body composition, no differences in crude protein, crude lipid and ash content could be determined. Haematological characteristics were unaffected among the treatments indicating good nourished and unstressed fish. In conclusion, we demonstrated that the utilization of blue mussel meal improved the palatability of rapeseed protein‐based diets for turbot.     

饲料中添加姜黄素对大菱鲆幼鱼生长、体组成及抗氧化酶活力的影响

为研究饲料中添加姜黄素对大菱鲆幼鱼生长、体组成及血清抗氧化酶活力的影响,在饲料中分别添加0、0.02%、0.04%和0.06%的姜黄素,配制成4种等氮等脂的实验饲料。选择初始体质量(5.12±0.04)g大菱鲆幼鱼420尾,随机分成4组,每组3个重复,每个重复35尾鱼。每种饲料随机饲喂1组实验鱼,养殖周期为77 d。结果显示,饲料中添加姜黄素对大菱鲆幼鱼的成活率(SR)、特定生长率(SGR)、摄食量(FI)、肝体比(HSI)和脏体比(VSI)没有显著影响。饲料中添加姜黄素对鱼体水分含量无显著影响;饲料中添加姜黄素后,鱼体脂肪含量显著下降,而肝脏和肌肉脂肪含量则呈显著上升趋势;0.02%和0.06%姜黄素添加组鱼体蛋白质含量显著高于0.04%组。0.06%姜黄素添加组的血清超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活力显著高于其他组;姜黄素添加组的血清过氧化氢酶(CAT)活力高于对照组,但各组间差异不显著;饲料中添加姜黄素后,血清丙二醛(MDA)含量和谷胱甘肽酶(GSH)活力呈显著降低的趋势。研究表明,饲料中添加姜黄素对大菱鲆幼鱼成活和生长无显著影响,但能够显著提高幼鱼的血清抗氧化能力。     

Temporal changes in texture, gaping, composition and copper status of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, L) fed moist feed or extruded dry feed

Temporal development in product quality and copper status was investigated in Atlantic salmon (initial weight 2.3 kg) fed alginate-based moist feed (MF) or commercial extruded dry feed (DF). The fieldwork was conducted from January to May in sea-cages (800 m³) off the Norwegian west coast. The dry matter content (DM) in the muscle of the MF group was stable at about 32% throughout the experiment, while the DM of DF group increased linearly from 32% to 35%. Salmon were sampled for analyses of Cu status, fillet gaping, texture and pH in March and April. The serum Cu content of the MF group was highest in March, but no significant effect of dietary treatment was observed on Cu status of muscle or liver. The Cu level in serum and muscle decreased from March to April in both fish groups, but the hepatic Cu level showed no temporal changes. Gaping incidence and pH were higher in the MF group in April compared with the DF group and, for both fish groups, fillet gaping was higher and hardness was lower in April than in March. Variation in serum Cu level explained 32% of the variation in fillet hardness, and serum and muscle Cu level related negatively with gaping. At the end of the experiment the condition factor, and fillet and visceral fat contents were higher in the DF group, while sensory evaluated hardness and tastiness were similar for both dietary treatments. In conclusion, sampling time had a greater impact on Cu status, texture and gaping than dietary treatment during springtime in adult Atlantic salmon. Dietary treatment significantly affected body shape, and fat and dry matter contents.     

Effects of triploidy on feed efficiency, morphometric indexes and chemical composition of shi drum, Umbrina cirrosa L.

Productive performances of triploid (3n) and diploid (2n) shi drum (Umbrina cirrosa L.) were evaluated over an experimental period of 76 days. Fish, selected according to body weight (196 specimens from each ploidy), were reared in tanks (two for each thesis) under the same environmental and dietary conditions. A practical extruded diet (crude protein: 43.4%; ether extract: 19.3%) was offered to fish according to a feeding rate that varied from 1% to 1.5% of live weight. Both at the beginning and at the end of the trials, samples of fish were submitted to morphometrics and chemical analysis. The final body weight and the specific growth rate of triploid fish were significantly lower than those of fish diploid. The feed efficiency of triploids showed a reduction in crude protein retention. Juvenile triploids evidenced a larger amount of coelomatic fat, and their gonads were atrophic. The whole‐body proximate composition of 3n fish was characterized by a higher ether extract and a lower crude protein content than 2n fish. Triploids had higher liver lipid content; there were no significant differences in viscera proximate composition. Sum, the results showed that chromosome set manipulation in this species can reduce productive performances at a juvenile stage, influencing some morphometric traits.     

The effects of varying dietary protein level on growth,feed conversion,body composition and apparent digestibility coefficient of juvenile mangrove red snapper,Lutjanus argentimaculatus (Forsskal 1775)

The effects of several dietary protein levels on the growth, feed conversion, body composition and diet digestibility of juvenile Lutjanus argentimaculatus (body weight 12.3 g) were examined. Seven isolipidic (7.4%) diets were formulated to contain graded levels of protein (28–58%) with dietary energy ranging from 19.7 to 21.5 kJ g^?1. Diets were distributed to triplicate groups of fish thrice a day at ration of 2% body weight for 90 days. Growth, feed conversion, protein utilization and digestibility of nutrients increased with increasing dietary protein level up to 43%, after which no significant improvement was observed. Digestibility of dry matter and energy showed a concomitant increase with the reduction in dietary wheat meal, attaining maximal values with high protein diets. No significant differences were detected in moisture, protein, lipid and ash content of whole fish or body organs as dietary protein increased. The mesenteric fat, hepato‐ and viscerosomatic indices decreased with increasing protein level. The cholesterol, triglycerides and haematocrit values were similar among treatments, except that high levels of plasma lipids were recorded above 43% protein diet. The use of a practical diet containing 43% protein is appropriate for the growth of L. argentimaculatus juveniles under the experimental conditions of the present study.     

Growth and feed performance,digestibility and acute stress response of juvenile grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus) fed diets with hydrolysate from milkfish offal

Nutritional qualities of fish processing by‐products can further be improved through enzymatic hydrolysis. The objective of this study was to elucidate the efficacy of hydrolysed milkfish offal at different inclusion levels when fed to juvenile grouper, Epinephelus fuscoguttatus, with an initial body weight of 2.88 ± 0.06 g. The animals were fed for 56 days with seven diets supplemented with 0 (control), 5%, 15% and 25% of milkfish offal (MO) and milkfish offal hydrolysate (MOH). The diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous (45%) and isolipidic (11%). The diets were assigned to 21 tanks (15 fish per tank) with each diet having three replicates. Results from the experimental trials indicated that feed conversion efficiency, feed intake and weight gain of fish significantly (P < 0.05) improved when fed diets with MOH. No significant differences within the rest of the dietary treatments were observed. Survival rate (>90%) did not differ in all the dietary treatments. Proximate composition (crude protein, crude fat and ash) indicated no significant difference among fish fed from all the dietary treatments. Apparent digestibility of MOH indicated a 95% and 66% digestibility for protein and dry matter respectively. Plasma stress parameters (cortisol and glucose) were not influenced by the dietary treatment when fish were subjected to an acute stressor (5‐min chasing). Liver morphology indicated normal hepatocyte shape and the presence of lipid droplets in fish fed from all the dietary treatments. The results indicated that milkfish offal processed as hydrolysate can be utilized in grouper diets and can promote growth and feed efficiency when supplied at 10–15%.     

Influence of dietary fat level and increased adiposity on growth and fat deposition in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum)

Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), (initial weight ～ 90 g) were fed diets differing in fat content (27.5% versus 12.6%) to examine the effects of dietary fat level on growth and fat deposition. During phase 1, which was run for 11 weeks, the fish were fed either a high- (27.5%) or low-fat (12.6%) diet. The fish were held at 14.5 °C under a 24 h:0 h light:dark photoperiod and were fed for 4 h each day during this phase. Subsequently, in phase 2, both diets were presented simultaneously, and the influence of adiposity on growth and fat deposition was examined in a growth trial which lasted for 8 months. There were no significant differences in body weights at the end of phase 1 (360.7 ± 7.7 g versus 348.2 ± 18.7 g for the fish on the high- and low-fat diets, respectively), but body composition was influenced by the fat content of the diet. The trout fed the high-fat diet had higher viscerosomatic indices (VSI: 11.7 ± 2.0% versus 9.1 ± 0.7%) and higher visceral fat contents (per cent fat: 38.0 ± 6.7% versus 23.3 ± 3.7%) than trout fed the low-fat diet. The percentage fat contents of the carcass (per cent fat: 12.4 ± 1.0% versus 9.3 ± 0.7%) and whole body (per cent fat: 15.4 ± 1.6% versus 10.5 ± 0.7%) were higher amongst the trout fed the high-fat diet, and these fish had a higher energy gain than those fish fed the low-fat diet. Differences in adiposity between the trout fed the high- and low-fat diets did not result in any differences in weight gain when the fish were provided with both diets simultaneously. During phase 2, the fish that had previously been fed the low-fat diet deposited more fat than those fed the high-fat diet during phase 1. The latter maintained whole body fat concentrations at ± 15% (phase 1: 15.4 ± 1.6%; phase 2: 15.2 ± 1.2%), whereas the fish that had been fed the low-fat diet increased their body fat concentration during phase 2 (phase 1: 10.5 ± 0.7%; phase 2: 14.7 ± 1.3%). Thus, there were no significant differences between groups in either body weight or proximate composition by the end of the experiment.     

Effect of feed restriction on the growth performance of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) juveniles under commercial rearing conditions

Two trials were performed to study the effect of periodic feed deprivation (trial 1) or feed restriction, followed by satiation feeding (trial 2) on the growth performance of turbot juveniles under commercial rearing conditions. In trial 1, duplicate groups of 350 fish with an initial weight of 62 g were fed a commercial diet to apparent visual satiation for 7, 6, 5 or 4 days a week for 83 days. At the end of the trial, fish weight was directly related to the number of feeding days but feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio were not affected by treatments. At the end of the trial, there were no differences in whole‐body composition among groups. In trial 2, duplicate groups of 500 fish with an initial weight of 33 g were fed a commercial diet to satiation (100%) or feed restricted to 90%, 80% and 70% of satiation for 90 days. Thereafter, all groups were fed to satiation for 34 days. During the feed restriction period, growth was directly related to feed intake, while during the satiation feeding period, it was inversely related to the previous feeding level. At the end of the trial, the final weight was not different among groups. At the end of the feed restriction period, whole‐body lipid content showed a trend to decrease with an increase in the feed restriction level. The results of this study indicate that under practical conditions, turbot juveniles should be fed daily as even cycles of short periods of feed deprivation negatively affect growth, while not improving feed efficiency. On the contrary, even after a relatively long feed restriction period, fish shows compensatory growth, and this may be used as a feed management strategy for controlling fish production in commercial farms.     

Effects of partial and complete replacement of soybean meal with cottonseed meal on growth,feed utilization and haematological indexes for mono‐sex male Nile tilapia,Oreochromis niloticus (L.) fingerlings

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with cottonseed meal (CSM) on the growth performance, feed utilization and haematological parameters of mono‐sex male Nile tilapia fingerlings. Five isonitrogenous diets (containing 31.82% crude protein) containing graded levels of CSM to replace SBM protein were fed to triplicate groups of fish. The diets were supplemented with lysine so that they were similar to the control diet. After a 14‐week feeding experiment, the results revealed that up to 75% of SBM could be replaced by CSM without causing a significant reduction in growth. Fish fed the diet highest in CSM had a significantly lower protein efficiency ratio and a significantly higher feed conversion ratio than fish fed the other diets. High survival was observed in all the dietary treatments, and no significant difference was observed among treatments. The apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) of dry matter and phosphorus decreased significantly with an increase in the dietary CSM level, whereas the ADC of lipid was not affected by the dietary treatment. The hepatosomatic index and the condition factor were significantly affected by the replacement of SBM by CSM. No significant differences were detected in the moisture, lipid and ash content in whole body and muscle samples, but protein in whole‐body samples was significantly affected by the CSM levels. Significant differences were found in the haemoglobin, haematocrit, red blood cell and white blood cell contents in fish fed diets with different CSM levels. Therefore, these findings suggest that up to 41.25% CSM can be used to replace 75% of SBM protein in diets for mono‐sex male Nile tilapia fingerlings without any adverse effects on the growth performance, feed utilization, body composition and haematological indexes.     

Effects of dietary energy level and dietary energy source on growth,feed conversion and body composition of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)

Seven diets containing 350 g protein/kg and with energy levels varying from 1 860 to 3 150 kcal/kg were fed to groups of turbot at a rate of 25 g diet/kg biomass/day for 18 weeks.An additional group of turbot was similarly fed a diet containing 500 g protein and 2 895 kcal/kg. Weight gain, food conversion and body composition of these eight groups of fish were compared.At a constant dietary protein level, weight gain and protein utilization increased with increasing dietary energy level. The body fat content of the experimental fish did not exceed that of wild fish even at the highest dietary energy level.At comparable dietary energy levels (about 3 000 kcal/g) protein utilization of turbot given diets containing 350 g protein/kg was superior to that of turbot given diets containing 500 g protein/kg. Weight gains of the two groups were similar.     

Long-term effects of dietary fat level and feeding rate on growth, feed utilization and carcass quality of Atlantic salmon

Two extruded diets designed to have fat levels of 220 g kg⁻¹ (F22) and 300 g kg⁻¹ (F30) were fed to Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. in two different experiments during the sea rearing period (from 0.2–0.3 kg to 3–4 kg). Each diet was fed restricted and isoenergetically at two feeding rates to fish in triplicate groups. In one of the experiments, a supplementary group of fish was fed to satiation with the F30 diet. All fish were slaughtered and evaluated for quality according to a commercial standard.
No difference in growth was observed between fish fed the two diets at similar feeding rates and the growth was proportional to the amount of dietary energy offered. Feed conversion ratios decreased according to higher energy content in the F30 diet, and the nitrogen and phosphorus retention increased significantly. Fish fed the F30 diet revealed a higher incidence of sexual maturity. Fat content in cutlets and dressed carcasses were significantly affected by feeding rate but not by dietary fat level. Fish fed the F30 diet had more visceral fat and, consequently, lower dress-out percentage. Mortality, liver size and liver colour were not significantly affected by dietary fat level.
These experiments showed that even large differences in dietary fat level employed for the entire sea rearing period of Atlantic salmon, did not, or only marginally affected the cutlet and dressed carcass fat content. The high fat diet improved the feed utilization, thus decreasing the discharge to the environments. Furthermore, it resulted in greater growth at ad libitum feeding.     

不同饵料比对黄鳝生长及生理生化指标的影响

以冰鲜鱼与配合饲料5个不同比例饵料饲养黄鳝（Monopterus albus）14周,设定配合饲料所占比例分别为0%、25%、50%、75%、90%,研究不同饵料比处理对黄鳝生长、体成分及部分血清生理生化指标的影响。结果显示,各处理组黄鳝增重率、成活率均无显著差异（P〉0.05）;粗蛋白及粗脂肪含量随饵料中配合饲料比例增大呈先升高、后降低的趋势,且均以90%配合饲料组最低;而各组体灰分和水分差异不显著（P〉0.05）;各处理组黄鳝的血清谷草转氨酶（GOT）、谷丙转氨酶（GPT）、甘油三酯、总胆固醇及血糖有显著差异（P〈0.05）;与完全投喂冰鲜鱼（0%组）相比,其它各处理组血清GOT和GPT显著降低;75%配合饲料组血清GOT、GPT（50%组除外）、总胆固醇均为所有处理组最低;表明黄鳝投喂以25%冰鲜鱼和75%配合饲料的混合饵料为宜。     

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%。     

The Use of Farmed Salmon Oil to Replace Anchovy Oil in Diet of Turbot,Psetta maxima,Reared in Brackish Water

This study was conducted to determine the effects of the use of farmed salmon oil (FSO) as a substitute for anchovy oil (AO) on growth and nutrient utilization performance, and proximate and fatty acid compositions of turbot, Psetta maxima. Two fish oil sources, AO and FSO, were incorporated into the diet at a level of 6.77% and fed to turbot with an initial average weight of 266.25 ± 0.53 g in brackish water for 9 wks. Each diet was tested in four replicates and fed to apparent satiation twice a day. At the end of the experiment, data of growth and nutrient utilization performances (feed conversion ratio, nitrogen, lipid and energy intakes, gains, and retentions), and organo‐somatic indices were similar between the dietary oil sources. Likewise, there were no significant differences in final whole body proximate compositions between two treatments. However, AO and FSO diets significantly affected whole body fatty acids and fatty acids classes. Briefly, FSO fish was characterized with higher n‐6 poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) mainly 18:2n‐6 whereas AO fish with higher n‐3 PUFA and highly unsaturated fatty acids mainly 22:6n‐3. The whole body fatty acid profile reflected that of the diets. It is concluded that incorporation of FSO instead of AO in turbot diets supports similar growth and nutrient utilization performances but change whole body fatty acid profile.
