Effects of flow rate on growth performance and welfare of juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) in recirculating aquaculture systems

The effects of flow rate on growth and welfare of juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) were investigated in the present study. Fish with same initial weight (102.5 ± 10.6 g) were subjected to four flow rates, equalling to 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 tank volumes per hour in twelve 392 L tanks during 80 days. Results showed that specific growth rate of turbots increased (0.40–0.58% day^?1) significantly with promoted flow rate (P < 0.05). Total ammonia nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, unionized ammonia nitrogen, chemical oxygen demand, total bacteria and total vibrio in tanks were affected significantly by flow rate and accumulations were found in low rate (200 L h^?1) (P < 0.05). Free carbon dioxide increased significantly with the increased flow rate and ranged between 4.5 and 13.5 mg L^?1 (P < 0.05). Both superoxide dismutase activity and lysozyme activity increased significantly with flow rate (P < 0.05), with ranges of 108.51–131.57 U mL^?1 and 551.81–869.28 U mL^?1. Serum cortisol showed reversed tendency and ranged between 7.39–19.26 ng mL^?1. The principal components analysis suggested that increased flow rate promoted fish welfare. It was concluded that increased flow rate promoted the growth of juvenile turbot, possibly explained by fish welfare differences in combination of health, water quality and serum parameters.     

温度对大菱鲆幼鱼生长、成活率和体内蛋白酶活性的影响

通过温度的变化研究不同温度对大菱鲆幼鱼生长、成活率和消化器官内蛋白酶活性的影响,结果表明,A在温度达到0℃时,幼鱼成活率为30%;4℃以上至20℃时成活率为100%,22~24℃为80%;26℃为40%;当水温达到28℃时,幼鱼成活率为0(20d)。养殖水温在8℃以下时,幼鱼基本不摄食,体重没有增长。12~16℃时,其生长速度随温度的升高而加快,当养殖水温达到20℃时,其生长速度与16℃条件下的生长速度相比较开始下降,达到24℃时,幼鱼生长速度已经明显下降,与12℃条件下的体重增长速度相接近。在8℃之前,幼鱼胃、肠和肝脏等消化器官中的蛋白酶活力单位含量较低。随温度的增加,酶活力单位显著增加,其中胃中的消化酶活力增加最快。     

Reassortant betanodavirus infection in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)

In this study, the susceptibility of turbot juveniles to two betanodavirus strains was assessed, a RGNNV/SJNNV reassortant (Ss160.03) and a SJNNV strain. The reassortant isolate exhibits a slightly modified SJNNV CP, with two amino acid substitutions in the C‐terminal domain (positions 247 and 270). To analyse the role of these residues as virulence and host determinants in turbot, three recombinant strains (rSs160.03₂₄₇, rSs160.03₂₇₀, rSs160.03_247+270) harbouring site‐specific mutations in the CP sequence were also tested in experimental trials. Moderate mortalities (up to 50%) were recorded at 18 °C in the fish challenged with the Ss160.03 strain, whereas low mortalities (17%) were observed in the group challenged with the SJNNV strain. A slight decrease (around 10%) was observed in the mortalities caused by the mutants rSs160.03₂₄₇ and rSs160.03₂₇₀, whilst the mutation of both positions reduced mortality by more than half of that observed in fish challenged with the wild strain. These results are confirmed by the replication in brain tissues, because whereas the wild strain was detected from 5 to 30 dpi and reached the highest viral load, the recombinant virus harbouring both mutations was not detected in the brain until 20 dpi and with a moderate viral load.     

Effect of triploidy on muscle cellularity and flesh quality of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)

Production of triploid turbot is a relevant goal for the aquaculture industry due to the benefits associated with their sterility and growth. In order for a better understanding of the final quality of the species, muscle cellularity and quality parameters of the flesh were studied in seven diploid and seven triploid turbot after sexual maturation. White muscle cellularity was evaluated throughout white muscle cross‐sectional area from the epaxial left muscle section of each fish. To ascertain the flesh quality, several physico‐chemical parameters (moisture, ash, protein, total fat, fatty acids and minerals) were analysed, and textural mechanical properties (springiness, hardness, chewiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and adhesiveness) were determined objectively with a texturometer. Muscle cellularity was different between both groups, such that muscle fibre density was higher for diploid specimens (P < 0.001) and muscle fibres diameters were higher for triploids (P < 0.001). Both ploidy groups showed no significant differences in moisture, ash, protein and total fat content (P > 0.05). All textural properties analysed showed no significant differences between both ploidy groups (P > 0.05). In both ploidy groups, fibre density and fibre diameter showed no significant correlations (P > 0.05) with textural parameters such as springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness and adhesiveness. Ploidy did not affect fatty acid composition, with the exception of eicosapentaenoic acid (C_20:5ω3) which was higher in the triploid group. No significant differences (P > 0.05) existed between diploid and triploid turbot in content of all minerals analysed. According to our results, the ploidy status determines significant variations on muscle cellularity but does not influence the flesh quality of the turbot.     

Cryopreservation of turbot Scophthalmus maximus (L.) sperm: fertilization and hatching rates

The present paper assesses the fertilization and hatching rates of an artificial fertilization series (n=1153) using fresh and cryopreserved sperm from 49 specimens of turbot Scophthalmus maximus (L.), carried out to confirm the results of a previous study, with the ultimate aim of transferring these cryo‐preservation techniques to commercial hatcheries. No significant differences were found between the fertilization rates of the two groups (fresh and cryopreserved sperm) when their respective fertility rates were >69.2%, which was the case in 75% of all fertilizations. Likewise, no significant differences in hatching rates were found. In order to use the cryopreserved sperm more efficiently, a key concern for commercial use of this technique, we also experimented with a lower sperm:diluent ratio (1:1) than used previously at our centre. We also compared the traditional 0.5‐mL straws with 2‐mL cryotubes able to contain a higher volume of sperm, finding no significant differences in the resulting fertilization and hatching rates. In conclusion, the use of cryopreservation for turbot sperm presents major advantages for broodstock management in commercial hatcheries.     

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.     

The immune response of turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (L.), skin to high water temperature

The immune responses of mucus from the skin of turbot, Scophthalmus maximus, were studied in relation to changing water temperature. Groups of fish were exposed to a programmed increase of 3 °C per 48 h, until the experimental water temperatures of 16, 20, 23, 25, 27 or 28 °C were reached. After 48 h at the relevant temperature, the expressions of immune‐related factors were determined, including immunoglobulin M (IgM), IL‐1β, hepcidin, transferrin, lysozyme, acid/alkaline phosphatase and superoxide dismutase using RT–PCR and spectrophotometric methods. Significant changes in mucus immunity were observed, which paralleled with those previously reported for serum in other fish species. Hence, it is suggested that the serum and mucus immune system of turbot have a similar regulatory system. This information could be useful in better understanding the role of the mucus as a component of the innate immune system.     

Application of amplified fragment length polymorphism markers to assess molecular polymorphisms in gynogenetic haploid embryos of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)

Among the variety of cultured marine species, the turbot Scophthalmus maximus is a fish of growing importance in European aquaculture. In this paper, an advanced application of AFLPs to estimate the genetic diversity of haploid gynogenetic families with the aim of obtaining a preliminary genetic map is presented. Ten EcoRI/TaqI primer combinations were tested in four families comprising diploid mothers and their haploid progenies. The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis revealed an average of 6.8 polymorphic bands per primer combination and a total number of 88 polymorphisms out of 579 fragments. Among various primer pairs, seven combinations were selected in relation to the quality of profiles and number of polymorphic fragments, to be used in the determination of genetic linkage relationship between AFLP markers within the largest haploid family. Co‐migration of non‐homologous fragments was also investigated in one primer combination adding a fourth selective nucleotide to the three used in the classic TaqI AFLP protocol. Surprisingly, a rate of 38.7% of non‐homologous fragments co‐migrating with monomorphic bands was identified, due to the combined effect of homoplasy and the protocol used. Additional polymorphic markers discovered by this protocol were included in the linkage map. The turbot AFLP linkage map comprises 52 AFLP markers distributed in 12 linkage groups. On the basis of this map, turbot expected total genome length sums up to 1225.6 cM. The results confirm the usefulness of AFLPs in revealing genome segregation in haploid turbot progeny.
