Spatial and temporal mitochondrial DNA genetic homogeneity of dolphinfish populations (Coryphaena hippurus) in the eastern central Pacific

Dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) samples were collected over four consecutive years from four locations in the eastern central Pacific to evaluate the genetic variation in a 751 bp segment of the mitochondrial NADH subunit 1 (ND1) to test for the presence of genetic population structure. Sequence analyses revealed no significant differences among collections from the same location in the different years sampled nor between locations. Mismatch distributions, estimations of population expansion parameters, and neutrality tests revealed significant fluctuations in population size in coincidence with past glacial and interglacial periods during the late Pleistocene. The low levels of nucleotide diversities and shallow coalescence of mtDNA genealogies observed were coincident with the estimated demographic parameters and neutrality tests, in suggesting the presence of important past population size fluctuations or range expansion. The prevention of the accumulation of deep lineages independently on how it was originated, probably delayed the emergence of a population divergence process which might account for the lack of genetic differences detected.

The growth and culture of dolphin, Coryphaena hippurus, in North Carolina

Juvenile dolphin (Coryphaena hippurus) were captured in the vicinity of the Gulf Stream off Hatteras, N.C., and held in pens in estuarine waters. A tank was designed specifically for fish transportation. Captive fish tolerated salinities ranging from 16 to 26‰ and temperatures ranging from 15 to 29.4°C.Separate feeding trials resulted in food conversion ratios of 3.54 and 3.44 (wet weights). Another trial involving 21 dolphin resulted in an average gain of 0.39 kg per week. Dolphin fed readily on a variety of cut fresh fish but rejected dolphin flesh. They were also trained to accept pelletized food.Dolphin have great potential for use in mariculture because of their rapid growth, palatability, good market price, and tolerance to estuarine conditions. As the growing season for dolphin does not extend for more than 6 months at Hatteras, N.C., warmer climates with year-round growing seasons are recommended for dolphin culture.     

The fatty acid compositions of established fish cell lines after long-term culture in mammalian sera

The effect of long-term culture of fish cells in mammalian serum on the phospholipid fatty acid composition was investigated. All the cell lines studied had much lower levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) than those found in intact fish tissues. In particular (n-3) PUFA were considerably depleted in the cultured cell lines, leading to very low (n-3)/(n-6) ratios in all the phospholipid classes. In general the cells were rich in 18:1, 16:0, 18:0 and 16:1 with 20:4(n-6) and 22:6(n-3) as the major PUFA. The fatty acid composition reflected the composition of the fetal calf serum added to the media rather than their fish tissue origins. The results were discussed in relation to the roles of PUFA in general cell metabolism and more specifically the role of (n-3) PUFA in fish cells.     

The whole amino acid profile as indicator of the nutritional condition in cultured marine fish larvae

The effect of variations in the amount or quality of food provided on the amino acid profile of larvae, was tested in two marine fish species, the Senegal sole (Solea senegalensis) and the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). The objective was to assess whether such nutritionally suboptimum dietary patterns, which simulate situations that may occur in hatcheries, result in variations in the concentration of one or more amino acids that could be used as indicators of nutritional condition of larvae. Restriction in the normal food ration by 60% had no clear effect on the amino acid profile of sea bass, while the concentration of some amino acids (Arg, Ala and Phe) showed significant variations in sole. Feeding on artificial diets, which have shown their inadequacy a priori, resulted also in no significant effect on the profile of sea bass, but in a dramatic modification of the amino acid profile in sole. In addition, changes in the amino acid profiles considered as a whole were evaluated using the cluster analysis instead of paired comparisons between amino acid concentrations in each treatment. The analysis clearly separated profiles of larvae fed restrictedly or inadequately from their controls, irrespective of the species. This demonstrated the potential value of evaluating whole changes in amino acid profile as nutritional indicator. Besides, it was demonstrated that sensitivity of larvae to nutritional changes that may be reflected in the amino acid profile is greatly conditioned by the species and developmental stage.     

Variation in fish condition between Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) stocks, the effect on their productivity and management implications

A comparative analysis of the fish condition (Fulton’s K) of 10 cod stocks in the north Atlantic in relation to the temperature of their habitat, growth rates and their reproductive potential is presented. It is shown that the cod stocks in the north Atlantic display different levels of mean condition, which is partly due to the different temperature regimes of their habitats. Cod living in colder waters, e.g. Greenland, Labrador and Grand Bank stocks, were found to be in poorer condition than cod living in warmer waters, e.g. North Sea and Irish Sea stocks.

Poor condition causes reduced productivity in terms of slow growth and low recruitment potential. Stocks in better condition display significantly higher weights at age 4 than stocks in poor condition. The a coefficients (function’s slopes) obtained from standardised Ricker’s recruitment–spawning stock biomass (SSB) relationships were defined as indicators for the recruitment potential of stocks. These a coefficients were found to be positively correlated with the mean condition factor of the 10 stocks analysed. This indicates that stocks consisting of individuals in poor condition appear to be very susceptible to reduced recruitment at low SSB, while the stocks that consist of fish in good condition seem to behave more robustly with a higher probability of good recruitment at low SSB. The positive effect of the cod condition on their reproductive potential generally implies that the stocks in good condition in the temperate regions of the northeast and west Atlantic can sustain higher exploitation rates than stocks in poor condition in the colder regimes of the northwest Atlantic (Greenland, Labrador and Grand Bank). This is confirmed by the positive relationship established between the estimated biological management reference points F_med and the mean cod condition factors, as well as by the recent status of these stocks.

高不饱和脂肪酸（HUFAs）在淡水鱼类中的营养作用研究进展

鱼粉、鱼油资源的短缺促使全球水产养殖业积极寻找其替代原料,而探究鱼粉、鱼油与其替代物之间的差异尤为重要,其中最主要的差异就是高不饱和脂肪酸(highly unsaturated fatty acids,HUFAs)是否存在及其含量多少。HUFAs是一类碳原子数目≥20、双键数≥3的脂肪酸,具有为动物提供能量、构成细胞膜组分、形成高生物活性物质、调控脂质代谢和免疫功能等重要作用,主要存在于鱼油和某些类别的微藻中。淡水鱼类具备自身合成HUFAs的能力,因此,一般认为HUFAs不是淡水鱼类的必需脂肪酸,无需通过饲料提供。但已有研究指出,饲料中添加一定量的HUFAs能够对淡水鱼类产生积极的营养作用,表明淡水鱼类的脂肪酸营养理论尚需进一步完善。本文综述了HUFAs在淡水鱼类生长、脂质代谢、健康免疫、繁殖特性等方面发挥作用的相关研究结果,明确提出淡水鱼类需要摄取一定水平的外源性HUFAs,指出在当前淡水鱼饲料中普遍使用HUFAs相对缺乏的蛋白源和油脂源的背景之下,HUFAs对淡水鱼类的作用应受到关注。最后,本文对今后淡水鱼类HUFAs营养的研究方向,以及新的HUFAs油脂源的开发前景进行了展望。     

Evaluation of nutritional values of selected commercial fish meal sources in turbot (Psetta maxima) diets

This study was conducted to evaluate nutritional values of selected commercial fish meals (FM) with two experiments in diets of turbot. In experiment I, five diets based on two Peruvian anchovy meals (one is a flame‐dried FM: Peru‐1 and the other steam‐dried FM: Peru‐2), a Danish FM (Danish LT), a domestic anchovy LT meal (Domestic LT) and an Alaskan white FM (WFM) as major protein source were formulated to contain 56% protein. The diets were fed to fish with an initial average weight of 119.4 ± 0.1 g for 9 weeks. Growth rate, feed utilization, whole body and visceral compositions, nitrogen, lipid and energy balances did not significantly change in Experiment 1 among the treatments. In Experiment 2, four diets based on three FMs (Domestic LT, Danish LT and Peru‐1) and their mixture (Mix FM) were formulated to contain 50% protein and fed to triplicated groups of fish with an average initial weight of 51.4 ± 0.1 g for 6 weeks. Once again, there were no significant differences in growth rate and feed consumption among the treatments. However, fish on Mix FM diet had significantly better FCR and PER than the others. The results of two experiment indicated that Danish LT and Domestic LT were better in terms of phosphorus (P) retention and losses than two Peruvian FMs and WFM, suggesting that although different sources of FMs were comparable in terms of growth and feed utilization, they could lead to substantial differences in environmental impacts.

The fatty acid composition of Nereis diversicolor cultured in an integrated recirculated system: Possible implications for aquaculture

The potential of solid waste originating from a recirculated fish culture system, i.e. faecal material, uneaten food pellets and bacterial biofilms was examined as food source for the marine polychaete Nereis diversicolor. These polychaetes could be a valuable food for fish if they provide essential fatty acids to the fish. Therefore, we analysed the fatty acid profiles from feed and faecal materials, the sediment as well as the cultured organisms — fish and several batches of N. diversicolor — from an integrated recirculating aquaculture system.The major fatty acids (saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) for all analysed fish feed, fish and faeces samples were C16:0, C18:1 and C22:6 (n − 3), accounting for 48% to 57% of the fatty acids in the samples. The major fatty acids within the sediment were C16:0, C18:1 and C18:3 (n − 3), accounting for 61% of the total fatty acids. The samples of N. diversicolor revealed C16:0, C18:1 and C20:5 (n − 3) as the major fatty acids. Combined, they accounted for 56% of the total fatty acids detected within the worm samples.The results indicate that a recycling or even an upgrade of excreted feed nutrients such as fatty acids, which were otherwise discharged, can be achieved through integrated aquaculture combining fish and worm culture.     

饲料中菜籽油替代鱼油对大黄鱼生长、肌肉脂肪酸组成和体色的影响

以初始体质量为(13.56±0.05)g的大黄鱼为对象,研究饲料中菜籽油替代鱼油对大黄鱼生长、肌肉脂肪酸组成和体色的影响。以鱼油组为对照组,用菜籽油分别替代25%、50%、75%、100%的鱼油,配制5种等氮等脂的实验饲料,在海水浮式网箱中进行为期8周的摄食生长实验。结果显示,饲料中不同水平菜籽油替代鱼油对大黄鱼的存活率(SR)和特定生长率(SGR)均无显著性影响;但饲料系数(FCR)随着替代水平的增加呈上升趋势,在100%替代组显著高于对照组。各处理组之间全鱼粗蛋白质、粗脂肪、灰分和水分含量均无显著性差异。肌肉中脂肪酸和饲料中脂肪酸线性关系分析表明,随着菜籽油替代鱼油水平的升高,大黄鱼肌肉中C18∶0、C18∶1、C18∶2n-6和C18∶3n-3含量不断增加,而C20∶4n-6和C22∶5n-3含量不断降低。肌肉中的饱和脂肪酸(SFA)含量随着替代水平的升高而升高,与饲料中SFA含量的变化趋势相反。菜籽油替代鱼油对大黄鱼腹部皮肤亮度值(L*)无显著性影响,但显著影响了背部皮肤L*值,100%替代组L*值显著高于对照组。对照组腹部皮肤红色值(a*)显著高于替代组;与腹部皮肤红色值相反,对照组背部皮肤红色值低于各替代组。菜籽油替代鱼油对大黄鱼背部和腹部皮肤黄色值(b*)均无显著性影响。研究表明,在本实验条件下,菜籽油替代鱼油对大黄鱼生长和体组成无显著影响,却显著影响了大黄鱼的肌肉脂肪酸组成和体色。     

The vitamin E requirement of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) given diets containing polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from fish oil

Groups of rainbow trout (mean initial weight 14 g) were given diets containing 10% of fatty acids derived from a white fish offal oil together with graded levels of vitamin E (2–10 mg/100 g) for 16 weeks. Fish increased in weight by eight-fold over the course of the experiment but there were no differences in weight gain between treatments, food conversion was similar in all treatments, no pathologies were observed and few mortalities occurred. In trout given the lowest dietary vitamin E intake, tissue levels of vitamin E were lowest in skeletal muscle, concentrations in most other soft tissues were about threefold that in muscle but higher levels were found in brain. Increased erythrocyte fragility occurred in those fish given diets low in vitamin E, and ascorbic acid-Fe³⁺-stimulated lipid peroxidation in liver microsomes decreased with increasing dietary vitamin E. Little or no malonaldehyde was formed in microsomes from trout fed diets containing 5 mg vitamin E/100 g or more. This was taken to be an adequate or safe concentration under the dietary conditions employed. Microsomes prepared from the muscle of trout given low levels (2 mg/100 g diet) of vitamin E were more susceptible to peroxidation in vitro than those obtained from gill, heart or liver. Microsomal susceptibility to peroxidation is determined by the ratio of vitamin E: peroxidizable unsaturated fatty acids in the microsomal membrane. Some of these ratios were measured and the results are discussed.     

n-3/n-6 HUFA对大菱鲆幼鱼生长性能、全鱼脂肪酸组成和血清生化指标的影响

为探讨饲料中不同n-3/n-6高不饱和脂肪酸(HUFA)对大菱鲆幼鱼生长性能、全鱼脂肪酸组成和血液生化指标的影响,配制了6种不同n-3/n-6 HUFA(D1:29.54,D2:23.04,D3:18.97,D4:9.06,D5:6.86,D6:3.87)的实验饲料。以大菱鲆幼鱼(12.18±0.01)g为研究对象,在循环水养殖系统中开展了为期8周的养殖实验。实验共分6组,每组3个重复,每个重复35尾鱼。结果显示:饲料中n-3/n-6 HUFA对大菱鲆幼鱼的成活率(SR)无显著影响;增重率(WGR)、特定生长率(SGR)和蛋白质效率(PER)呈先上升后下降趋势且D6组的显著低于其他各组,D2组蛋白质效率显著高于其他各组。全鱼粗蛋白和灰分均呈先上升后下降趋势;D6组肌肉粗蛋白和灰分显著低于其他各组。全鱼ARA含量随着n-3/n-6 HUFA的下降呈上升趋势;全鱼中EPA、DHA、n-3/n-6多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)和n-3/n-6 HUFA均随着饲料中n-3/n-6 HUFA的下降呈下降趋势。血清中酸性磷酸酶(ACP)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)随着n-3/n-6 HUFA的变化呈上升趋势;溶菌酶(LZM)和总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)呈先上升后下降的趋势,溶菌酶在D2组达到最大值,总抗氧化能力在D3组达到最大值。综上所述,饲料中n-3/n-6 HUFA在适宜范围(18.97~23.04)显著提高了实验鱼的生长性能和非特异性免疫力,改变了鱼体组织的常规成分和脂肪酸组成。     

种青养鱼模式下的草鱼肌肉营养成分和品质特性

为探究种青养鱼养殖模式对草鱼肌肉营养成分和品质特性的影响,随机选取以种青喂草为主养殖模式下养殖的草鱼(生态草鱼)和投喂人工配合饲料进行养殖的草鱼(饲料草鱼)各16尾,测定其肌肉系水力和质构特性指标,以及肌肉常规营养成分、矿物元素、氨基酸和脂肪酸含量。结果显示,生态草鱼和饲料草鱼肝体比和空壳率无显著性差异;生态草鱼肌肉系水力指标中滴水损失显著低于饲料草鱼,冷冻渗出率不显著地低于饲料草鱼,失水率不显著地高于饲料草鱼,p H值无显著性差异;肌肉的硬度、弹性、凝聚性、胶黏性和回复性均无显著性差异;生态草鱼粗脂肪含量显著低于饲料草鱼,水分、灰分、粗蛋白含量均无显著性差异;生态草鱼P和Fe含量均显著高于饲料草鱼,Mg、Mn和Cr含量均极显著高于饲料草鱼;生态草鱼和饲料草鱼肌肉氨基酸组成基本一致,均含有17种氨基酸,其中人体必需氨基酸总量分别为6.85%和6.27%。生态草鱼必需氨基酸指数(EAAI)为76.07,而饲料草鱼为77.29,饲料草鱼略高于生态草鱼。生态草鱼和饲料草鱼肌肉均含19种脂肪酸,其中棕榈酸、花生四烯酸(ARA)、亚油酸(LA)、油酸、二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)和硬脂酸含量较高,为主要脂肪酸,而花生五烯酸(EPA)+DHA含量分别为8.95%和10.70%,且差异显著。研究表明,生态草鱼和饲料草鱼在肌肉质构特性方面无显著性差异,与饲料草鱼相比,生态草鱼具有肌肉系水力强、低脂肪和矿物元素含量高的特点。
