Effects of dietary fish oil replacement with blended vegetable oils on growth,lipid metabolism and antioxidant capacity of subadult swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus

A 120‐day trial was conducted to assess the effects of dietary fish oil replacement with vegetable oils on growth, lipid metabolism and antioxidant capacity of subadult swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus. Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated to replace 0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000g/kg of fish oil with a mixture of soybean and rapeseed oil (defined as D1–D5), and each treatment had 30 replicate crabs. Dietary fish oil replacement had no significant effects on growth of the crabs, while the D3 had the highest hepatosomatic index and total lipids in hepatopancreas. The triglyceride and lipase activities in hepatopancreas increased significantly with increasing dietary fish oil replacement. The D4 had the highest levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and acid phosphatase (ACP) in the hepatopancreas, as well as the haemolymph ALP, ACP and peroxidase. The highest levels of haemolymph total antioxidant capacity, catalase and malondialdehyde were detected in D1. Total n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids levels in hepatopancreas decreased significantly with increasing dietary fish oil replacement. In conclusion, dietary fish oil replacement had no significant effects on growth of P. trituberculatus, and 500g/kg of fish oil replacement could improve antioxidant capacity, but excessive replacement level will enhance lipid accumulation and peroxidation in the hepatopancreas.     

Effects of dietary fish oil substitution with linseed oil on growth,muscle fatty acid and metabolism of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of linseed oil (LO) replacing different levels of fish oil (FO) on growth, muscle fatty acid composition and metabolism of gift tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (mean initial weight 22 ± 0.5 g) in indoor recycle aquarium tanks for 8 weeks. Fish fed the diet with 50% of the oil as LO had higher final body weight (FWG), specific growth rate (SGR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) than the other groups (P < 0.05). Hepatopancreas lipid content of fish fed 50% LO was lower than the other groups. Total n‐3 and n‐6 PUFA contents in the dorsal muscle and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in serum increased with increasing dietary LO level. Fish fed 50% LO had higher alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities in hepatopancreas and total antioxidant capacity (T‐AOC) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activities in serum than the other groups (P < 0.05). However, malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in hepatopancreas were lower than other groups (P < 0.05) with a 50% substitution level. Results of this study indicated that LO could substitute <50% FO without influencing the growth of tilapia. The higher substitution levels of LO induced negative influences on growth, feed utilization and antioxidant ability of tilapia, but could promote DHA synthesis in tilapia muscle.     

饲料中添加串叶松香草对团头鲂幼鱼生长性能、抗氧化能力和脂肪代谢的影响

[目的]本实验旨在探讨饲料中添加串叶松香草对团头鲂幼鱼生长性能、抗氧化能力和脂代谢的影响。[方法]实验选取240尾初始体重为(3.85±0.5)g团头鲂幼鱼,随机分为4组,每组3个重复,每重复20尾鱼。各组分别投喂串叶松香草添加水平为0%(对照组)、2%、4%和6%的实验饲料,饲喂8周后测定鱼体生长性能、肌肉组成、血液生化、肝肠抗氧化和肝脏脂代谢相关基因表达。[结果]研究发现,相较于对照组,4%和6%串叶松香草组的增长率、特定生长率显著降(P<0.05),6%组的终末均重显著降低(P<0.05),饵料系数显著增加(P<0.05)。在抗氧化能力方面,2%串叶松香草组肠道过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。在脂肪沉积和代谢方面,4%和6%串叶松香草组肌肉粗脂肪含量显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。4%和6%串叶松香草组肠道脂肪酶活性显著低于对照组(P<0.05)。6%串叶松香草组血清中的甘油三酯(TG)、胆固醇(TC)、高密度脂蛋白(HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL-C)均显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。4%和6%串叶松香草组肝脏中脂肪合成基因fas、srebp1c的表达量显著升高(P<0.05)。同时,6%串叶松香草组肝脏中脂肪分解基因lpl、cpt1a、pparβ的表达量显著下降(P<0.05)。应激24h后2%串叶松香草组累积死亡率低于对照组,肝脏SOD活性显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。[结论]总之,在饲料中添加2%的串叶松香草对团头鲂幼鱼的生长和饲料利用无不利影响,并且能够提高肠道的抗氧化能力,而当添加量增加至4%和6%时会抑制鱼体生长,并引起团头鲂幼鱼脂肪沉积。[意义]本研究结果为串叶松香草在水产动物饲料中的应用提供了参考。     

Effect of oil source on growth performance,antioxidant capacity,fatty acid composition and fillet quality of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

This study was conducted to evaluate the dietary use of vegetable oil sources in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Fish were fed diets having the same lipid level from fish oil (FO), palm oil (PO), rapeseed oil (RO), soybean oil (SO) or linseed oil (LO). The results showed that dietary vegetable oils significantly decreased the feed utilization and a significantly lower growth was observed in SO group, while palm oil showed no effect on the growth performance. Dietary vegetable oils suppressed intestinal digestion by inhibiting the activities of digestive enzymes. Vegetable oils significantly elevated the activities of lipase, hepatic lipase and total lipase in liver, and a phenomenon of intense lipid accumulation emerged in liver of PO and SO groups. Furthermore, linseed oil significantly decreased plasma antioxidant capacity, whereas no significant difference was found between RO and FO groups. Dietary vegetable oils caused a significantly lower EPA and DHA in muscle, and further influenced fillet quality through an increase in cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness and/or springiness, together with a decrease in hardness. Overall, our results indicated that rapeseed oil may be a suitable alternative oil source for grass carp from a point of growth, feed conversion ratio, antioxidative capacity and hepatic histology.     

Effects of dietary fish oil substitution with blending vegetable oils on growth performance,antioxidant enzyme activities and tissue fatty acid composition of juvenile swimming crab,Portunus trituberculatus

An 8‐week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacement of fish oil (FO) with blending vegetable oils (VOs) on growth performance, antioxidant enzyme activities and fatty acid composition in tissue of swimming crab Portunustrituberculatus. Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated to contain VOs (colza oil: palm oil: linseed oil = 4:2:1) to replace 0 (the control diet), 250, 500, 750 and 1000 g/kg of FO (defined D0, D25, D50, D75, D100). Three hundred juvenile swimming crabs (initial weight 2.34 ± 0.08 g) were randomly stocked and sorted into 300 individual rectangle plastic baskets in three cement pools. Each treatment has three replicates, one replicate has 20 swimming crabs, and each diet fed 60 crabs distributed in 60 baskets. The results indicated that crabs fed the control diet showed significantly higher survival, final body weight, per cent weight gain (PWG), specific growth rate and moulting frequency, crude protein and crude lipid contents in muscles than those fed the D75 and D100 VO diets (p < .05). Crabs fed the D25 VO diet showed significantly higher concentration of triglyceride, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol and total protein, activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐Px) in haemolymph than those fed the control diet (p < .05). Fatty acid composition in hepatopancreas was positively correlated with dietary composition. In summary, based on the PWG, the optimal replacement of FO with VOs was estimated to be 250 g/kg. These findings demonstrated that swimming crabs make better use of FO than VOs.     

Effects of dietary lipid source on fatty acid composition,expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism and antioxidant status of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus)

This study determined the effect of different lipid sources on growth, feed use, lipid metabolism and antioxidant status of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus). Juvenile fish (56.9 ± 4.7 g) were divided into four triplicate groups and fed diets containing 30 g/Kg of fish oil (FO), olive oil (OO), peanut oil (PO) and linseed oil (LO), respectively, for 60 days. Weight gain and feed conversion ratio were not significantly different between the dietary groups, but we observed changes in the fatty acid composition of muscle and intraperitoneal fat reflecting the fatty acid profile of the dietary lipid source. In the hepatopancreas, the highest mRNA level of fatty acid translocase CD36 (FAT/CD36) and carnitine palmitoyl transferase (CPT‐1A) was both observed in the FO group. In muscle, the expression of FAT/CD36 and CPT‐1A in the LO group was significantly higher than that in other groups, except for CPT‐1A in the PO group. In addition, the lowest and highest content of malondialdehyde in serum was observed in OO and FO groups, respectively. In summary, dietary lipid source altered the fatty acid composition, potential uptake (FAT/CD36) and oxidation (CPT‐1A) of fatty acids, and antioxidant status of grass carp, which should be considered when selecting a lipid source.     

共轭亚油酸对日本沼虾生长、抗氧化及脂质代谢的影响

为了探讨共轭亚油酸对日本沼虾生长、抗氧化及脂质代谢的影响,实验用不同含量的共轭亚油酸(conjugated linoleic acid,CLA)替代鱼油,CLA添加水平分别为0%(CLA1)、1.5%(CLA2)、3%(CLA3)、4.5%(CLA4)和6%(CLA5),对日本沼虾进行为期8周的摄食营养实验。实验虾的初始均重为(0.102±0.0024)g,每组设5个平行。结果显示,随着CLA含量的增加,各组虾的增重差异不显著,但存活率却有降低趋势,其中CLA5组存活率显著低于CLA1组;肝胰腺中丙二醛(MDA)含量、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)活性随着CLA水平的增加呈现先降低再升高趋势,其中CLA1组SOD活力显著高于其余各组,当CLA含量超过4.5%(CLA4)时,日本沼虾肝胰腺中MDA含量显著增加;随着CLA水平的增加,血浆中胆固醇(TC)和甘油三酯(TG)含量显著降低;脂肪代谢相关基因B类Ⅰ型清道夫受体(SR-BI)、肉碱脂酰转移酶(CPT1)m RNA表达水平有一定的波动性,均在CLA4组达到最高,乙酰辅酶A羧化酶(ACC)m RNA表达水平呈先增加后降低趋势,其中CLA4组ACC基因表达量显著高于其余各组(P0.05)。研究表明,CLA的添加对日本沼虾抗氧化能力和脂质代谢过程产生了一定的影响,CLA添加对虾的生长性能未产生显著影响,但添加水平较高时(6%)会降低虾的存活率。     

Effects of dietary fish oil replacement by various vegetable oils on growth performance,body composition and fatty acid profile of juvenile Malaysian mahseer,Tor tambroides

The current study was carried out to investigate the effects of replacing dietary fish oil with different vegetable oil sources and ratios on the growth performance and tissue fatty acid profiles of juvenile Tor tambroides. Three different vegetable oils (sunflower oil, linseed oil and palm oil) were used in two different substitution ratios (50% and 100%). A diet without replacement (100% fish oil) was used as a control. Triplicate groups of T. tambroides juveniles (5.0 ± 0.4 g) were fed the test diets for 9 weeks. The highest weight gain was observed in fish fed palm oil diets that, of course, were reared in aquaria. There was a significant effect (P < 0.05) of the percentage of fish oil replacement on the liver weight after controlling for the effect of fish weight (P < 0.05). The viscera weight significantly increased (P < 0.05) in fish on vegetable oil diets, and its highest amount observed among fish fed palm oil diets. Vegetable oil inclusion significantly reduced eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) concentrations in both muscle and liver of fish except for fish on 50% palm oil diet that had similar liver DHA content with those on control diet.     

Effect of replacing dietary fish oil with soybean oil on production performance and fillet lipid and fatty acid composition of juvenile cobia Rachycentron canadum

As a marine carnivore exhibiting exceptionally high growth rates, cobia are considered a species for which fish oil (FO) replacement may be difficult. However, partial, if not complete, FO replacement is necessary to ensure sustainability. We evaluated the effects of graded substitution of dietary FO with soybean oil (SO) in cobia culture. Feeds contained FO (100% FO), SO (0% FO) or blends of the two (67% FO, 33% FO) as the supplemental lipid source. Production performance was largely unaffected by partial replacement of FO with SO: feed intake and final weight were reduced only in the 0% FO dietary treatment. Fillet total lipid fatty acid (FA) composition differed among the dietary treatments, closely approximating dietary FA profile. As increasing amounts of FO were replaced, SO‐associated FA became enriched within the fillet lipid at the expense of FO‐associated FA. Fillet lipid classes were associated with a particular FA signature, regardless of dietary FA profile. SO can replace a substantial amount of dietary FO; however, juvenile cobia appear to exhibit a nominal requirement for intact long‐chain polyunsaturated FA. Therefore, aggressive FO replacement may result in essential fatty acid deficiencies unless the feeds can be amended with alternative sources of these essential nutrients.     

Effects of dietary lipid sources on growth performance,lipid metabolism and antioxidant status of juvenile Russian sturgeon Acipenser gueldenstaedtii

Six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were used to test the influence of lipid source on growth performance, antioxidant status and lipid metabolism of juvenile Russian sturgeon, Acipenser gueldenstaedtii. Each diet was supplemented with 90 g kg^?1 of lipid from each of six sources including fish oil (FO), beef tallow (BT), sunflower oil (SO), linseed oil (LO) and equal combinations of FO + SO + BT (FSB) or LO + SO + BT (LSB). After 56 days, fish fed LSB demonstrated highest weight gain, specific growth rate and lowest hepatosomatic index among all groups. The n‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the whole fish were highest in the SO group, and n‐3 PUFAs were highest in fish fed LO. The fish fed FO contained highest n‐3 highly unsaturated fatty acids. Triglyceride in the serum of fish fed LSB was lowest, but was not significantly different from that in the SO group. Triglyceride in the serum of fish fed FO and BT was highest among all groups. Lipase, malate dehydrogenase and lipoprotein lipase activities were highest in fish fed LSB. Serum malondialdehyde in fish fed LSB was significantly lower than in fish fed FO or SO, but no significant differences were found among fish fed LSB, BT, LO or FSB. Fish fed LSB showed higher catalase activity and total antioxidant capacity than fish fed FO or FSB. This study indicates that linseed, sunflower oil and BT mixed oil are a suitable lipid source and can benefit growth performance and antioxidation in juvenile sturgeon.     

Effects of dietary tea polyphenols on growth,biochemical and antioxidant responses,fatty acid composition and expression of lipid metabolism related genes of large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea)

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary tea polyphenols (TP) on growth performance, biochemical and antioxidants responses, fatty acid composition, and lipid metabolism‐related gene expressions of large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea). Four diets were formulated with different levels of TP (0.00%, 0.01%, 0.02% and 0.05%). Results showed that growth performance of L. crocea were not different among dietary treatments. Compared with the control group, fish in 0.02% TP group had lower body and hepatic lipid content and lower total cholesterol content. The minimum content of triglycerides and low‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol were found in 0.05% TP group. Hepatic n‐6 PUFA and n‐3 PUFA were significantly higher in TP supplementation groups. Malondialdehyde content was lower in TP supplementation groups, and superoxide dismutase activity was higher in 0.01% TP group than the control group. The mRNA expressions of carnitine palmitoyltransferase1, acyl‐CoA oxidase and peroxisome proliferators‐activated receptor α were up‐regulated in 0.01% and 0.02% TP groups, while lipoprotein lipase expression was down‐regulated in TP supplementation groups than the control group. Results suggested that 0.01%–0.02% TP supplementation could reduce the deposition of liver lipid of L. crocea caused by high‐lipid diet, which might be due to the increase in lipid oxidation related gene expressions.

为了研究饲料中添加茶多酚对大菱鲆生长、抗氧化能力及脂肪代谢相关基因表达的影响,以初始体质量为(13.51+0.31) g的大菱鲆幼鱼为实验对象,设计4组添加不同梯度茶多酚(0%、0.01%、0.02%和0.05%,干重添加量分别为0、100、200和500 mg/kg)的等氮等脂实验饲料,进行为期70 d的摄食生长实验。结果显示:①与对照组相比,饲料中添加0.01%～0.02%茶多酚显著提高了大菱鲆幼鱼增重率(WGR);饲料效率(FE)随饲料中茶多酚添加水平升高而升高,但各组间差异不显著;随饲料中茶多酚添加水平升高,大菱鲆肝体比(HSI)呈降低趋势,且显著低于对照组;②鱼体组成分析表明,投喂添加茶多酚饲料组大菱鲆鱼体和肝脏粗脂肪含量呈下降趋势,且在茶多酚添加水平为0.02%～0.05%时达到最低值,显著低于对照组;③与对照组相比,投喂添加茶多酚饲料组大菱鲆血清总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)活性显著升高,且各添加组间差异不显著;超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性随茶多酚的添加水平升高呈先升高后降低趋势,且在添加水平为0.02%时显著高于对照组;血清丙二醛(MDA)含量随茶多酚添加水平升高而降低,且在添加水平为0.02%～0.05%时显著低于对照组;④大菱鲆肝脏固醇调节元件结合蛋白1(SREBP-1)表达量随着饲料中茶多酚添加水平升高而降低,且在添加水平为0.02%～0.05%时达到最低值,显著低于对照组;脂肪酸合成酶(FAS)表达量随茶多酚添加水平的升高呈先降低后升高趋势,且在添加水平为0.02%时显著低于对照组;过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体α(PPARα)表达量变化趋势与FAS相反,且在添加水平为0.02%时达到最高值。肉毒碱棕榈酰转移酶1(CPT1)表达量随饲料中茶多酚添加水平升高而升高,显著高于对照组,且各添加组间差异不显著。研究表明,高脂饲料中添加茶多酚能促进大菱鲆生长、降低肝脏脂肪过度沉积并提高血清抗氧化能力,高脂饲料中添加0.02%茶多酚是大菱鲆幼鱼生长的最适添加量。     

饲料不同n-3/n-6脂肪酸比值对日本沼虾生长、虾体组分、血清抗氧化及相关基因表达的影响

为探讨饲料中n-3/n-6脂肪酸比值对日本沼虾生长性能、虾体肉质及血清抗氧化能力的影响,设计了5种不同n-3/n-6脂肪酸比值(D1:0.29、D2:0.56、D3:1.02、D4:2.20、D5:8.52)的等氮等脂饲料,进行了8周养殖实验,每组设4个重复,每个重复45尾虾。结果显示,饲料n-3/n-6脂肪酸比值对日本沼虾的存活率(SR)无显著影响;日本沼虾增重率(WGR)和特定生长率(SGR)随饲料脂肪酸比值的增加先升后降,D3组最高且显著高于D1组。饲料n-3/n-6脂肪酸比值对虾体粗脂肪(CF)和粗蛋白(CP)影响显著,D4组虾体粗脂肪显著高于其他各组;D3组虾体粗蛋白显著高于D2、D4和D5组。虾体肌肉脂肪酸比值受饲料脂肪酸比值的影响,肌肉中n-3/n-6脂肪酸比值与饲料中n-3/n-6脂肪酸比值存在显著的正相关关系。血清超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)在D5组达到最高且显著高于D1、D2和D3组,但与D4组差异不显著;D3组谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)最高且显著高于其他各组;D5组血清丙二醛(MDA)含量显著高于D1和D3组。饲料脂肪酸比值对日本沼虾肝胰腺抗氧化基因表达影响显著,D4组Hsp60表达量最高且显著高于D5组,但与D1、D2和D3组差异不显著;D2组Hsp70和Toll表达量最高且显著高于其他各组;D5组Myd88表达量最高且显著高于其他各组。综上所述,饲料中n-3/n-6脂肪酸比值为1.02～2.20,可以显著提高日本沼虾的生长性能和非特异性免疫力。     

Effects of conjugated linoleic acid on growth,body composition,antioxidant status,lipid metabolism and immunity parameters of juvenile Chu's croaker,Nibea coibor

A‐56 days feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the growth performance, feed utilization, biochemical composition, antioxidant status, lipid metabolism and immunity parameters of Chu's croaker Nibea coibor fed diets supplemented with different levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA): 0% (control), 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%. Each diet was randomly assigned to triplicate groups of 25 fish (initial body weight: 12.8 ± 0.1 g) in 15 floating cage. Weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) were not significantly affected. 2% of dietary CLA led to significant lower lipid content in both whole body and liver (p < .05). Muscle lipid content was significantly lower in fish fed 1.5% and 2% CLA (p < .05). Saturated fatty acid (SFA) increased while monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) decreased with increasing dietary CLA in tissues (p < .05). Increasing CLA significantly promoted hepatic lipase (HL), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), serum lysozyme (LSZ) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) while decreased serum triglyceride (TG) in both liver and serum (p < .05). Liver Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and total antioxidant capacity (t‐AOC) increased while malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased (p < .05). Our study shown that Chu's croaker can successfully incorporate CLA in tissues up to 2% dietary lipid without growth inhibition, and that CLA increased fish quality due to the increased parameters of lipid metabolism, specific immunity, hepatic antioxidant and CLA accumulation, and the reduction of tissue fat deposition.     

饲料脂肪水平对胭脂鱼幼鱼生长、体组成和抗氧化能力的影响

试验选用体重(6.73±0.21)g的胭脂鱼(Myxocyprinus asiaticus)幼鱼540尾,随机分成6个组,每组3个重复,每个重复30尾试验鱼。以大豆油为脂肪源,配制成脂肪水平为2.04%、4.43%、6.88%、9.02%、11.98%、13.39%的半精制饲料,进行为期56 d的生长试验,研究脂肪水平对胭脂鱼幼鱼生长、体组成及机体抗氧化能力的影响。结果显示:饲料脂肪水平对胭脂鱼的生长性能有显著影响(P<0.05)。脂肪水平为6.88%时,胭脂鱼增重率、特定生长率、蛋白质沉积效率最高,饲料系数最低。脂肪沉积效率随脂肪水平的增加呈下降趋势。随脂肪水平增加,胭脂鱼全鱼、肌肉和肝胰脏脂肪含量逐渐上升,至6.88%组后稳定,而全鱼水分、粗蛋白含量没有显著变化(P>0.05)。胭脂鱼机体抗氧化能力随着脂肪水平的增加呈现先升后降趋势,脂肪水平为6.88%时,总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)、超氧物歧化酶(SOD)值最大,丙二醛(MDA)值最小,即抗氧化能力最强。以增重率、特定生长率和饲料系数进行回归分析并考虑脂肪水平对胭脂鱼营养组成和抗氧化能力的影响,确定胭脂鱼幼鱼适宜脂肪水平为6.62%~7.02%。     

饲料中花生四烯酸含量对刺参生长性能、抗氧化能力及脂肪酸代谢的影响

为探究饲料中添加花生四烯酸(arachidonic acid,ARA)对刺参(Apostichopus japonicus)生长性能、抗氧化能力及脂肪酸代谢的影响,选用初始体重为(10.78±0.06)g的刺参为研究对象,以鱼粉和发酵豆粕为主要蛋白质源,小麦粉为主要糖源制作基础饲料,通过在基础饲料中添加不同比例的ARA-纯化油,制成ARA含量分别为0.02%(对照组)、0.17%、0.36%、0.51%、0.59%和0.98%(占饲料干重)的6组等氮等脂的实验饲料,在室内循环水养殖系统进行为期56 d的养殖实验。结果表明,随着饲料中ARA含量的升高,刺参增重率(weight gain rate,WGR)呈先上升后降低的趋势,0.36%和0.51%ARA饲料组刺参WGR显著高于其他处理组(P0.05),刺参的特定生长率(specific growth rate,SGR)和饲料效率(feed efficiency,FE)与WGR具有相同的变化趋势;刺参体壁粗脂肪含量随饲料ARA含量升高呈先降低后升高的趋势,在0.51%ARA饲料组含量最低,且显著低于对照组与0.98%ARA饲料组(P0.05);同时,随饲料中ARA含量的提高,刺参体壁中ARA和n-6多不饱和脂肪酸(n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids,n-6 PUFA)含量呈显著上升趋势,而二十碳五烯酸(eicosapentaenioc acid,EPA)、二十二碳六烯酸(docosahexaenoic acid,DHA)和n-3多不饱和脂肪酸(n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids,n-3 PUFA)含量显著降低(P0.05);抗氧化能力方面,0.36%和0.51%ARA饲料组刺参肠道中超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)、过氧化氢酶(catalase,CAT)和总抗氧化能力酶(total antioxidant capacity enzyme,T-AOC)活性均显著高于对照组与0.98%ARA饲料组(P0.05),而肠道丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)含量呈相反的变化趋势(P0.05);刺参肠道中脂肪酸合成酶(fatty acid synthase,FAS)和乙酰辅酶A羧化酶(acetyl-Co A carboxylase,ACC)活性随饲料ARA含量的升高呈显著降低趋势(P0.05);刺参肠道中肉毒碱棕榈酰转移酶-1(carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1,CPT-1)活性随饲料ARA含量升高呈先升高后降低的趋势(P0.05)。研究表明,在本实验条件下,饲料中添加适量ARA(0.36%~0.51%)能够对刺参生长、抗氧化能力起到一定的促进作用,同时结果显示,饲料ARA含量会对刺参肠道内脂肪酸代谢产生一定的影响。     

Effects of different dietary lipid sources on tissue fatty acid composition,serum biochemical parameters and fatty acid synthase of juvenile mud crab Scylla paramamosain (Estampador 1949)

A 6‐week study was conducted to determine the effects of different lipid sources in pelleted diets on juvenile mud crab Scylla paramamosain. Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets containing 8% level of fish oil (FO), lard (LD), safflower oil (SO), perilla seed oil (PO) or mixture oil (MO; V_FO:V_SO:V_PO = 1:1:1), and a live food of marine bivalve Potamocorbula rubromuscula as the control diet (CF), were fed to groups of 25 juvenile crabs (average initial weight 7.4 g, carapace width 3.5 cm) in triplicate. The results showed that crabs fed MO had the highest survival (P < 0.05). The moisture content was significantly higher in crabs fed LD, SO and PO (P < 0.05). Crabs fed SO exhibited the lowest crude protein and lipid (P < 0.05). Ash contents were obviously lower in LD group (P < 0.05). Highest total lipid in the hepatopancreas and muscle was in LD and FO group respectively. Glucose, total cholesterol and low‐density lipoprotein were higher while high‐density lipoprotein was lower (P < 0.05) in LD group. Tissue fatty acid compositions were consistent with those in diets. FO and MO diets had the same depression effect like CF on fatty acid synthase activity and mRNA expression in the hepatopancreas. The results of this study indicated that FO and mixed oil are suitable for preparation of pelleted diets with better effects for juvenile S. paramamosain compared with live food, and the ratio of n‐6/n‐3 fatty acids in pelleted diets must be <1.     

Effects of fish oil with difference oxidation degree on growth performance and expression abundance of antioxidant and fat metabolism genes in orange spotted grouper,Epinephelus coioides

The present study was designed to assess the effects of fish oil with different oxidation degree on growth performance, serum biochemistry parameters and expressive abundance of oxidative stress and fat metabolism genes of orange spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides. The oxidized fish oil was conducted as follows: storage temperature: 4°C, ambient temperature (AT, [31.5 ± 3.5]°C); storage time: 45, 90, 135 days; antioxidant contents: 30 mg/kg (ethoxyquin [EQ]), 300 mg/kg Higher EQ (HEQ). According to the different treated conditions, 14 kinds of fish oil with different oxidation degree were obtained: T_F+EQ [positive control (fresh oil + EQ)], T_F (negative control [fresh oil]), T_4°C+45d+EQ, T_4°C+45d+HEQ, T_4°C+90d+EQ, T_4°C+90d+HEQ, T_4°C+135d+EQ, T_{4°C+135d+HEQ}, T_AT+45d+EQ, T_AT+45d+HEQ, T_AT+90d+EQ, T_AT+90d+HEQ, T_AT+135d+EQ, T_AT+135d+HEQ. Groupers were fed isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets containing 14 kinds of fish oil for 8 weeks, respectively. The results showed that survival, weight gain rate and thermal growth coefficient decreased as oxidation degree of dietary fish oil increased (p < 0.05). Higher serum total protein, triglyceride and glucose were observed with ascending oxidation degree of fish oil (p < 0.05). The genes expression levels of catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase were up‐regulated with dietary oxidized level increasing (p < 0.05). In addition, the similar status also appeared in expression of peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), hormone‐sensitive lipase (HSL) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) genes. In conclusion, the fish oil would show negative influence on the fish health until peroxide value and p‐anisidine value in oil exceed 12.96 meq/kg and 20.89. The best storage condition for fish oil is 4°C, 45 days and 30 mg/kg EQ which could keep fish oil available property to grouper.     

Growth,antioxidant capacity,intestine histology and lipid metabolism of juvenile red claw crayfish,Cherax quadricarinatus,fed different lipid sources

Five dietary lipid sources (fish oil, soybean oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil and linseed oil) were evaluated in juvenile red claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus, based on the response of growth, antioxidant capacity, intestine histology, whole‐body composition, fatty acid nutrition and lipid metabolism. Crayfish were fed in quadruplicate net cages for 8 weeks. Crayfish fed diets with fish oil, soybean oil and linseed oil obtained significantly higher weight gain and specific growth rate than those fed the other two diets. Survival, condition factor and hepatosomatic index were not significantly affected by lipid sources. Lipid sources also do not affect the whole‐body composition of crayfish. Serum SOD, T‐AOC and GSH‐PX activities of crayfish fed the palm oil and rapeseed oil diets had a significantly lower value than those fed other diets. The minimum concentrations of MDA have been observed in crayfish fed the soybean oil diet. The activity of ACC in the hepatopancreas of crayfish fed the linseed oil diet showed the highest value, and the CPT‐1 activity was not significantly affected by different lipid sources. Crayfish fed the soybean oil diet showed significantly higher TC and TG contents in hepatopancreas than those fed other diets. Crayfish fed linseed oil diet had a significantly higher percentage of EPA, C18:3n?3 and Σn?3 PUFA in muscle than those fed other treatments. Most of the fatty acid compositions in the hepatopancreas had a close correlation to fatty acid compositions in diets. All findings in this study indicate that soybean oil is the advantageous lipid source for juvenile C. quadricarinatus which can reflect in satisfactory growth performance, antioxidant capacity and fatty acid nutrition of edible tissues.
