The effect of dietary protein replacement by crystalline amino acid on growth and nitrogen utilization of turbot Scophthalmus maximus juveniles

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of partial replacement of dietary fish meal by crystalline amino acids on growth performance, feed utilization, body composition and nitrogen utilization of turbot juveniles.

Four diets were formulated to be isolipidic (12% DM) and isonitrogenous (8% DM). A fish meal based diet was used as control. In the experimental diets, a crystalline amino acid (AA) mixture was used to partially replace fish meal, corresponding to a non-protein nitrogen content of 19, 37 and 56%, respectively (diets 19AA, 37AA and 56AA, respectively). The overall amino acid profile of the experimental diets resembled that of the whole-body protein of turbot. Each experimental diet was fed to triplicate groups of 20 fish (initial body weight of 31.8 g) twice daily to apparent satiation for 42 days. During the trial water temperature averaged 18 °C.

Final body weight, weight gain (g kg ABW^− 1 day^− 1) and specific growth rate were not different between the control and 19AA diet but significantly decreased with the increase of crystalline-AA inclusion from 19 to 56%. Feed intake and feed efficiency of fish fed the control and diet 19AA were similar and significantly higher than those of fish fed the 56AA diet. At the end of the growth trial, there were no significant differences in whole-body composition among groups. Hepatosomatic index was also unaffected by dietary treatments.

Nitrogen retention (g kg ABW^− 1 day^− 1) of fish fed the control and the 19AA diets were similar and significantly higher than that of fish fed the other diets. Expressed as a percentage of the nitrogen intake, N retention was significantly higher with the control than with the 37AA and 56AA diets.

Daily ammonia excretion (mg kg ABW^− 1 day^− 1) of fish fed the control diet was significantly higher than that of fish fed the 37AA and 56AA diets, while daily urea excretion (mg kg ABW^− 1 day^− 1) did not significantly differ among treatments. Non-fecal nitrogen (ammonia + urea) excretion (mg kg ABW^− 1 day^− 1) was significantly higher for fish fed the control diet than in those fed the 37AA and 56AA diets. However, as percent of N intake, ammonia excretion and non-fecal N excretion were significantly higher in fish fed the 56AA diet than in those fed the control and 19AA diets.

Specific activity of glutamate dehydrogenase, alanine and aspartate aminotransferases did not significantly differ among experimental groups.

In conclusion, in diets with an overall amino acid profile resembling that of the whole-body protein of turbot, crystalline-AA may replace 19% of dietary protein without negatively affecting growth performances or feed utilization efficiency. However, higher protein replacement levels of protein-bound-AA by crystalline-AA severely depressed growth performance.     

饲料中必需氨基酸与非必需氨基酸的比率对牙鲆生长、氮的沉积与排泄的影响

设计了5个水平的饲料必需氨基酸与非必需氨基酸(EAA∶NEAA)比率(31∶69、39∶61、48∶52、57∶43、66∶34)通过56d的喂养试验,观察其对牙鲆氮的利用及氮的排泄的影响,结果发现,当饲料中EAA∶NEAA比率为57∶43时,牙鲆的增重、SGR、氮的沉积均增加,饲料系数及氮的排泄量降低;但当饲料中EAA∶NEAA比率增加到66∶34时,牙鲆的增重、SGR、氮的沉积率则有降低趋势,而饲料系数及氮的排泄则有增加趋势。牙鲆最大氮的沉积率43·2%和最低氮的排泄量35·3g/kg增重是在饲料EAA∶NEAA比率为57∶43时获得的。     

Growth performance and physiological responses in striped knifejaw, Oplegnathus fasciatus, held under different photoperiods

The growth performance and stress response in striped knifejaw, Oplegnathus fasciatus (body weight 100–300 g) reared under four photoperiods (6L:6D, 12L:12D, 16L:8D and 24L:0D) were investigated. Fish were fed a commercial diet to apparent satiation, two times a day for 8 weeks. A trial of acute handling and confinement stress was also carried out to investigate the stress-induced levels of different stress indicators in O. fasciatus. Blood was also collected from undisturbed fish which was considered as control. Although there were no significant differences in weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR) and feed conversion efficiency (FCE) in fish exposed to 6L:6D, 16L:8D and 24L:0D photoperiods, all parameters in these photoperiods were significantly higher than those of 12L:12D photoperiod (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in protein retention efficiency (PRE) between fish exposed to 16L:8D and 24L:0D photoperiods, but PRE in both photoperiods was significantly higher than that of 12L:12D photoperiod.Acute stress significantly increased the plasma levels of cortisol (110.3 ng ml^− 1) and glucose (195.4 mg dl^− 1), and decreased plasma levels of total protein (0.8 g dl^− 1); however, all parameters were returned back to the levels indistinguishable from those of control, undisturbed fish within 24 h. The levels of cortisol, glucose and total protein in fish exposed to different photoperiods during the study were far from the stress-induced levels (P < 0.05). The results demonstrated that the growth performance of O. fasciatus reared from 100 to 300 g can be stimulated significantly by using the manipulated photoperiods where feeding time may be playing an important role to increase food intake and feed conversion efficiency. It also revealed that the artificial photoperiods did not cause significant stress response in fish.

本实验以平均初始体重为15.60 g的红鳍东方鲀(Takifugu rubripes)幼鱼为研究对象,研究饲料中蛋白含量及养殖密度对红鳍东方鲀幼鱼生长性能、氮排泄及相关生理生化指标的影响。设计两因素三水平(2×3)实验,配制3种不同蛋白梯度(38.87%、45.55%和51.00%,干重)的等脂实验饲料,设置3个密度梯度为1.53 kg/m^3(0.196 m3体积的实验桶,每桶20尾鱼)、2.30 kg/m^3(每桶30尾鱼)和3.06 kg/m^3(每桶40尾鱼)。每组饲料设3个重复,养殖实验为期56 d,在室内流水系统内进行。结果显示,增重率在高、中蛋白组显著高于低蛋白组(P<0.05),但当饲料蛋白含量一定时,养殖密度对增重率没有显著性影响。饲料蛋白含量和养殖密度对鱼体常规成分没有显著性影响。当饲料蛋白一定时,高密度组的血清总蛋白和胆固醇含量显著高于中密度组(P<0.05)。血清总蛋白含量在低蛋白组显著高于中蛋白组(P<0.05)。血清碱性磷酸酶含量在低蛋白组显著高于高蛋白组(P<0.05)。饲料蛋白含量和养殖密度对红鳍东方鲀幼鱼的生长、氨氮排泄没有显著性交互作用。静水投喂3 h后,氨氮排泄率在高密度组显著高于低密度组(P<0.05)。研究表明,45.55%饲料蛋白质含量已经能够满足红鳍东方鲀幼鱼正常生长的需求。饲料蛋白含量和养殖密度对红鳍东方鲀幼鱼的生长性能和氨氮排泄没有显著性交互作用。     

Growth performance of blue shrimp, Litopenaeus stylirostris in self-cleaning microcosm tanks

Outdoor microcosm tanks were used to grow the penaeid blue shrimp, Litopenaeus stylirostris, in Brunei Darussalam. The tanks were cylindrical, free standing fiber glass tanks of 1827 L water holding capacity and had a self-cleaning mechanism. In three eight-week feeding trials, juvenile shrimp of 0.9–4.3 g were stocked at a density of 28 shrimp/m². At the end of each trial, survival rates exceeded 80%. Growth rates ranged from 1.19 to 2.46 g/week. Water quality remained stable and within suitable ranges for L. stylirostris growth in all trials. The tanks had algae and bacterial floc developing within a few days of starting the trials. Fourteen commercial shrimp feeds, each containing more than 40% crude protein, were tested in the trials. In spite of the presence of natural food organisms, significant feed-related differences among treatments were found in each trial. In conclusion, microcosm tanks support excellent growth and survival of L. stylirostris and are appropriate for conducting trials to evaluate feeds for pond growout.

为研究改变投饲频率后晶体蛋氨酸吸收利用的效率,实验以凡纳滨对虾为研究对象,以高鱼粉组为正对照组,以低鱼粉且不添加蛋氨酸组为负对照组,添加晶体蛋氨酸(MET)组为实验组,配制3种等氮等脂的饲料。MET组日投饲频率分别为2(7:00和21:00)、4(7:00,12:00,18:00和21:00)和6次(7:00,9:30,12:00,15:00,18:00和21:00),正对照组和负对照组日投喂4次。将初重为(1.27±0.01)g的对虾随机分为3组,每组3个重复,每重复30尾虾,养殖5周,水温29～30℃。结果显示,日投喂6次的MET组增重率和正对照组相比差异不显著,全虾粗蛋白含量显著高于日投喂4次的,MET组总蛋白酶活性随投喂次数增加而增加,日投喂4次和6次的处理组与正对照组差异不显著。结果表明,投饲频率由4次增加至6次,晶体蛋氨酸组凡纳滨对虾的增重率、体蛋白的沉积和总蛋白酶的活性得到改善,增加投喂频率有利于提高游离氨基酸的利用效率。     

The effect of different daily feed rations on the growth, condition, survival and feed conversion of juvenile pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) reared with dry feed in net cages

Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) fingerlings, trained on dry feed, were kept in pond cages and fed with 2, 4 or 6% of their actual body weight in dry feed. The effect of the daily ration and the temperature of the pond water on the growth, survival, condition factor and feed conversion were observed in an 8-week experiment. The appropriate daily ration at 17–18°C was 2%, while at 24–25°C the 4% ration seemed to be advisable for the practice. The two higher rations led to significantly higher final body weights than the lowest feeding ration. There were no significant differences between the final condition factors or the survivals of the groups. The best feed conversion (FCR) was achieved at the 2% daily ration group and the worst at the 6% group in each week of the experiment.     

实用饲料添加肌醇对草鱼生长、脂质代谢及抗氧化机能的影响

为探讨肌醇对草鱼生长、脂质代谢及抗氧化机能的影响,以实用饲料配方为基础,分别添加0(对照)、50、100、150、200、300和400 mg/kg肌醇,配制成7组等氮等脂的饲料,每组饲料设4个重复,每个重复饲喂初始体质量为(15.00±0.15)g的草鱼25尾,养殖56 d。结果显示,饲料中添加100~150 mg/kg肌醇能显著提高草鱼终末均重(FBW)、增重率(WGR)、特定生长率(SGR)及饲料效率(FE);随饲料肌醇添加水平的上升,全鱼脂肪、肝脏脂肪和脂肪沉积率先升后降,在50~300 mg/kg均与对照组存在显著差异,且均在100 mg/kg达到最大值。肌肉脂肪则逐渐下降并趋于稳定,在100 mg/kg达到最小值,100~400 mg/kg差异不显著;肠脂肪酶、血浆总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)含量及高密度/低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C/LDL-C)均呈先升后降的趋势,除LDL-C在各组间差异不显著外,其余指标均在100~150 mg/kg达到最大值;添加肌醇能显著增强肝脏和肌肉中肉碱脂酰转移酶(CPT-I)和乙酰辅酶A羧化酶(ACC)的活性。与对照组相比,100 mg/kg肝脏CPT-I的增幅比例低于ACC的增幅比例,肌肉则相反;当肌醇添加水平为100~150 mg/kg时,肝脏和肌肉中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)的活性显著升高,丙二醛(MDA)含量及血浆中谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、谷草转氨酶(AST)均显著降低。研究表明,实用饲料添加适宜的肌醇能改善草鱼的生长、饲料转化和肝脏功能,促进脂肪消化,加快脂肪酸的合成与分解代谢,使全鱼和肝脏增脂、肌肉降脂,且能够提高肝脏和肌肉的抗氧化机能。以FE和SGR为效应指标,草鱼实用饲料肌醇适宜添加量为90.3~96.4 mg/kg。     

Effect of dietary carbohydrate level on growth performance of juvenile spotted Babylon (Babylonia areolata Link 1807)

A growth trial was conducted to determine the effects of dietary carbohydrate level on growth performance, feed utilization and metabolism of juvenile spotted babylon. Six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic experimental diets (48% crude protein and 15 MJ kg^− 1 diet) using wheat starch as the carbohydrate source, were formulated to contain six carbohydrate levels. Triplicate groups of 45 animals (initial average weight, 168.39 ± 0.69 mg) were stocked in 120-l tanks and fed to apparent satiation twice daily for 10 weeks. Growth performance and feed utilization were significantly affected by dietary carbohydrate level. Maximum weight gain and specific growth rate occurred at 20% dietary starch inclusion, survival and soft body to shell ratios were not significantly different among diets. There were significant differences in protein, lipid, moisture and glycogen content in soft body. Glycogen content in soft body was positively correlated with dietary starch level. The activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase were significantly affected by dietary starch level, with both peaking in the 20% treatment; however, there were no significant differences in 6-phosphofructokinase activity in any treatment. Quadratic regression analysis of weight gain against dietary starch level indicated that the optimal dietary carbohydrate level for maximum weight gain of juvenile spotted babylon is 27.1% of dry diet.

饲料中不同泛酸水平对凡纳滨对虾生长性能、饲料利用及血清指标的影响

为研究饲料中不同泛酸水平对凡纳滨对虾生长性能、饲料利用及血清指标的影响,实验配制6种等氮等脂(41%粗蛋白质和8%粗脂肪)的实验饲料,泛酸添加水平分别为0(对照组)、50、100、150、300和600 mg/kg,饲料中实测泛酸水平分别为20.9、69.3、99.0、150.2、304.4和513.6 mg/kg。选用初始体质量为(0.73±0.12)g的凡纳滨对虾720尾,随机分为6组(每组3个重复,每个重复40尾),进行为期8周的养殖实验。结果显示,饲料中不同泛酸水平对凡纳滨对虾增重率和特定生长率的影响不显著;对照组凡纳滨对虾成活率显著低于泛酸添加组,然而各泛酸添加组的成活率组间差异不显著。随着泛酸水平从20.9 m.g/kg增加到99.0 mg/kg时,饲料效率和蛋白质效率显著提高,而随着泛酸水平的进一步增加,饲料效率和蛋白质效率显著降低。饲料中泛酸水平对凡纳滨对虾全虾和肌肉主要成分无显著性影响。对照组对虾血清葡萄糖含量显著低于泛酸各添加组,然而泛酸各添加组之间无显著差异;投喂150.2 mg/kg泛酸组血清甘油三酯含量显著低于对照组和513.6 mg/kg;而血清总蛋白和胆固醇含量不受饲料中泛酸水平的影响。随着饲料中泛酸水平由20.9 mg/kg增至150.2 mg/kg,血清超氧化物歧化酶活力显著提高,而随着饲料中泛酸水平的进一步增加,血清超氧化物歧化酶活力显著降低;饲料中泛酸水平为99.0mg/kg组凡纳滨对虾血清总氧化能力显著高于其他各组;投喂对照组和泛酸水平为69.3mg/kg组的凡纳滨对虾血清丙二醛含量最高,投喂泛酸水平为150.2 mg/kg组血清的丙二醛含量显著低于其他各组。以凡纳滨对虾的饲料效率和蛋白质沉积率为评价指标,通过折线模型分析得到凡纳滨对虾泛酸最适需要量分别为113.40和119.87mg/kg。     

Evaluation of commercial live bakers’ yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a growth and immunity promoter for Fry Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.) challenged in situ with Aeromonas hydrophila

This study was carried out to evaluate the use of commercial live bakers’ yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a growth and immunity promoter for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.). Fish (0.33 g) were randomly distributed at 25 fish per 140-L aquarium and fed a diet containing 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0, or 5.0 g yeast/kg diet for 12 weeks. After the 12-week experimental period, fish of each treatment were challenged by pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila, which was given by interperitoneal (IP) injection and kept under observation for 10 days to record clinical signs and the daily mortality rate. The growth-promoting influences of bakers’ yeast were observed with fish and the optimum growth, feed utilization, and protein turn-over were obtained with 1.0–5.0 g yeast/kg diet. Also, yeast supplementation increased protein deposition in fish body. Biochemical parameters were improved in fish fed yeast up to 1.0 g/kg diet. Total fish mortality 10-days after IP injection with A. hydrophila and its count after incubation with fish serum decreased with the increase of yeast level in fish diets. However, the lowest fish mortality and bacterial counts were obtained in fish fed 5.0 g yeast/kg. These results indicate that bakers’ yeast supplement is promising as an alternative method to antibiotics for disease prevention in tilapia aquaculture, and the optimum level of live bakers’ yeast is about 1.0 g per kg diet.

The effect of feeding on oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion of juvenile tench Tinca tinca (L.) reared in a water recirculating system

The effect of feeding frequency (one, three, and continuous feeding), feed ration (0.2, 0.5, 0.8% of total fish biomass), and feeding per se on the oxygen consumption (OC, mg O₂ kg⁻¹ h⁻¹) and ammonia excretion (AE, mg TAN kg⁻¹ h⁻¹) of juvenile tench (body weight 15–19 g) and variations in these parameters in daily cycles were examined. Fish metabolism was studied in a recirculating system (rearing tanks of 0.2 m³, water temperature 23 °C). It was found that oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion depended significantly on feed ration. An increase of feed ration from 0.2 to 0.8% of fish biomass caused an increase of OC and AE from 126.80 mg O₂ kg⁻¹ h⁻¹ and 1.95 mg TAN kg⁻¹ h⁻¹ to 187.35 mg O₂ kg⁻¹ h⁻¹ and 8.80 mg TAN kg⁻¹ h⁻¹ (p<0.05). There was no dependence between feeding frequency and the mean rate of oxygen consumption. However, the relationship between feeding frequency and ammonia excretion by juvenile tench was statistically significant (p<0.05). Feeding frequency significantly affected daily fluctuations of AE and OC. It was found that diurnal variations in metabolic rates were strictly related to tench feeding, and the daily variations of AE were significantly higher than OC.     

粪肠球菌对吉富罗非鱼的生长、体组成、消化酶活性及血液生理生化指标的影响

为研究饲料中添加不同浓度的粪肠球菌对吉富罗非鱼生长、体组成、消化能力及血液生理生化指标的影响,实验选用初始体质量为(50.59±0.59)g的吉富罗非鱼300尾,随机分成5组,每组设3个重复,每个重复20尾鱼,养殖实验期60 d。分别投喂实测含1.3×10~2(对照组)、1.4×10~5、1.7×10~6、1.5×10~7和1.8×10~8 CFU/g粪肠球菌的5种等氮(36%)等脂(6.75%)的实验饲料。结果显示:(1)罗非鱼的末均重(FBW)、增重率(WGR)、特定生长率(SGR)和尾均摄食量(FI)均在1.5×10~7 CFU/g组达到最大且显著高于对照组,而饲料系数(FCR)显著低于对照组。以FBW、WGR和SGR为评价指标,通过二次回归分析得出,罗非鱼饲料的粪肠球菌适宜添加浓度范围为7.5×10~7~1.1×10~8 CFU/g。(2)各添加组的全鱼粗蛋白含量均显著高于对照组,1.5×10~7 CFU/g组的粗脂肪含量显著高于对照组,各组间全鱼水分和粗灰分含量无显著差异。1.5×10~7 CFU/g组的干物质、蛋白质和脂肪沉积率均达到最大值且显著高于对照组。(3)1.5×10~7和1.8×10~8 CFU/g组的肠脂肪酶活性均显著高于对照组,而1.8×10~8 CFU/g组的肠道蛋白酶活性显著低于对照组;各组间肠道淀粉酶活性无显著差异。(4)1.5×10~7 CFU/g组的平均红细胞体积、血红蛋白浓度和血小板数均显著低于对照组,各组间红细胞数无显著差异。(5)1.8×10~8 CFU/g组的血清中胆固醇、葡萄糖和丙二醛含量显著低于对照组;1.5×10~7 CFU/g组血清中碱性磷酸酶活性显著高于对照组,而谷丙转氨酶和谷草转氨酶活性显著低于对照组。综上所述,吉富罗非鱼(50~210 g)饲料中粪肠球菌的适宜添加浓度范围为7.5×10~7~1.1×10~8 CFU/g,但添加粪肠球菌对血液载氧能力有负面影响。     

中华鲟、史氏鲟及达氏鳇血清免疫球蛋白的纯化及部分特性分析

采用饱和硫酸氨分步沉淀和Sephadex G200凝胶层析的方法,首次分别纯化制备了健康非免疫状态下中华鲟（Acipenser sinensis）、史氏鲟（Acipenser schrenckii）和达氏鳇（Huso dauricus）的血清免疫球蛋白（Ig） ,并采用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳（PAGE）、SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳（SDSPAGE）、蛋白免 疫印迹（Western blotting）及免疫琼扩实验等方法对其Ig及Ig亚单位的分子量和部分特性进行了分析。PAGE及SDSPAGE的结果显示：史氏鲟,中华鲟和达氏鳇IgM的相对分子量分别为867 kD, 896 kD和924 kD;3种鲟鱼Ig的重链分子量均为88 kD,都具有29 kD的轻链,其中达氏鳇还另有一分子量约为26 kD的轻链蛋白。分子量的测定及计算结果显示鲟鱼的Ig为四聚体。Western-blotting的检测结果表明,3种鲟鱼Ig的重链与其Ig具有同样的抗原性,在硝酸纤维素膜上可被兔抗鲟Ig多克隆抗体所识别,而轻链的Western blotting检测结果则呈阴性。免疫沉淀反应的结果显示,3种鲟鱼的血清及其Ig与相互之间的兔抗Ig血清有免疫沉淀反应,但与兔抗鲤Ig血清无免疫沉淀反应,这表明3种鲟科鱼类的Ig在结构和序列上是较为相似的,而与鲤鱼等高等硬骨鱼类的Ig存在较大的差别。

Lactobacillus spp. bacteria as probiotics in gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata, L.) larvae: Effects on growth performance and digestive enzyme activities

In this study, the influence of commercial probiotic, Lactobacillus spp., supplementation was investigated on growth parameters and digestive enzyme activities in gilthead sea bream, Sparus aurata, during larval development. All experiments were triplicated and designed in three different administrations of probiotic from 3 days after hatching (DAH) concurrently with starting of exogenous feeding. In the first group, probiotic was added to live food (rotifer and Artemia). In the second group, probiotic was supplemented directly to both live food and water. In the third group, probiotic was added directly to water. Also, no probiotic treatment was maintained in control group. Total bacterial counts among probiotic probiotic-supplemented groups were significantly different from total bacterial counts in controls in water and digestive tract of larvae (p < 0.05). The mean of total bacterial counts in control was approximately 4 × 10⁴-fold increased from the experimental groups in the sea water (p < 0.05). Besides, mean digestive enzyme activities of all probiotics treatment groups were significantly different (p < 0.05) with that of the control. Except probiotic water supplementation group, in all treatments, the specific activities of pancreatic and intestinal enzymes were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in larvae to which probiotic had been supplemented by live food and live food with water. Also, S. aurata larvae that had probiotic administered by live food with water demonstrated significant (p < 0.05) increases in both survival (13–105% higher) and specific growth rate (2–9% higher) as compared to controls. As a result, supplementation of probiotic to directly tank water could not significantly increase growth parameters and digestive enzyme activities and therefore, administration of probiotics by this method would not be effective in terms of husbandry parameters and nutritional condition.     

赖氨酸对团头鲂幼鱼生长、血清生化及游离必需氨基酸的影响

为探讨饲料中不同水平赖氨酸对团头鲂幼鱼生长、血清生化及血清中游离必需氨基酸的影响,选用初始均重(3.34±0.03)g的团头鲂幼鱼540尾,随机分成6个实验组,每个实验组3个重复,每个重复30尾鱼,分别投喂赖氨酸含量为1.29%、1.71%、2.09%、2.48%、2.88%、3.27%的饲料,养殖实验为10周。研究表明:(1)与对照组相比,2.48%赖氨酸实验组显著提高了团头鲂幼鱼的鱼体末重、增重率、特定增重率、氮沉积率、蛋白质效率和蛋白沉积率,显著降低了饵料系数,但不影响存活率;(2)2.09%赖氨酸实验组显著提高鱼体蛋白含量和降低脏体比系数,2.88%、3.27%赖氨酸实验组显著降低了粗灰分含量;(3)3.27%赖氨酸实验组显著提高了血清中谷丙转氨酶和总蛋白含量;2.14%赖氨酸实验组显著降低了血清中白蛋白的含量;2.88%赖氨酸实验组显著降低了血清中尿素含量;(4)除血清亮氨酸和缬氨酸之外,2.88%赖氨酸实验组显著提高了血清中必需氨基酸含量;同时,随着饲料中赖氨酸水平的增加,血清中总必需氨基酸呈先升高后趋于平缓的趋势。以鱼体特定增重率和蛋白沉积率为评价指标,经折线模型回归分析得到团头鲂幼鱼饲料中赖氨酸的适宜添加量分别为饲料干重的2.36%(饲料粗蛋白含量的6.96%)和2.22%(饲料粗蛋白含量的6.53%)。     

两种不同营养类型水库鲢、鳙肌肉营养成分的比较

实验采用国标(GB)的检测方法,依据联合国粮农组织(FAO)和世界卫生组织(WHO)的评价标准,对不同营养类型的金沙河水库和桃园河水库的鲢、鳙肌肉营养成分进行了分析比较。结果表明,金沙河水库鲢、鳙的粗蛋白(P<0.05)含量显著高于桃园河水库,金沙河水库鳙的粗脂肪含量显著高于桃园河水库(P<0.05)。两座水库鲢、鳙的氨基酸种类组成相同,但金沙河水库鲢的氨基酸总量和鲜味氨基酸含量显著高于桃园河水库(P<0.05),而其余氨基酸含量的差异不显著。金沙河水库鲢、鳙的必需氨基酸指数(EAAI)均大于桃园河水库。综合这些指标,认为金沙河水库鲢、鳙鱼肌肉品质高于桃园河水库。
