Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) grazing on duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza)

The aims of this experiment were (1) toquantify the ability of grass carp to processduckweed and (2) to assess indirect changes inwater chemistry and phytoplankton community,caused by grass carp feeding. Yearling grass carp sized 126 ± 7.7 mm (TL) and19.6 g in weight were kept in 9 laminate tanksof 1 m³ for 14 days. Two stockingdensities (2 and 6 fish per m³) anda control without fish were used. Standard growthrate (SGR) of grass carp fed exclusively onduckweed was 0.70% body weight (BW) d^–1and food conversion ratio (FCR) reached 2.0(average water temperature =21.1 ± 3.8 °C). Daily food intakewas 0.2 g of duckweed dry weight (DW), i.e.,1% of average BW of grass carp. SGR ofduckweed growing in 20 × 20 cm floatingenclosures, differed significantly[F(6,2) = 417.9; p = 0.002] between the twostocking densities of grass carp and thecontrol tanks (without fish). Mean SGR ofduckweed was 0.02 g g^–1 day^–1 and thehighest SGR was recorded in the control tanks.Both decrease in NH₄-N and increase inNO₂-N concentrations differedsignificantly between the treatments[F(2,2) = 45.3; p = 0.02 and F(2,2) = 19.2; p = 0.04 respectively]. Changes in other nitrogenand phosphorus components (NO₃-N, TN, TPand PO₄-P) caused by stocking of grasscarp were not significant. Biomass ofphytoplankton, dominated by filamentous algaeand blue-greens, increased proportionately tostocking density of grass carp. Althoughduckweed has a large potential for nutrientremoval, the most common pathway for thenutrients released through grass carp grazingif duckweed cover is loose is theirincorporation into phytoplankton biomass.     

Effect of dietary lipid level on growth, feed utilization and body composition by juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

A study was undertaken to determine the effect of dietary lipid level on growth, feed efficiency and body chemical composition of juvenile grass carp. Seven isonitrogenous diets (400 g kg^?1 crude protein) containing seven dietary lipid level (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 g kg^?1 dry matter) were fed to triplicate groups of 40 fish with initial weight 6.52 g, for 70 days. No obvious and assured essential fatty acid deficiency symptom appeared in fish fed the lipid‐free diet. Excess dietary lipid level (100 and 120 g kg^?1) resulted in decreased feed intake. The best growth performance and feed utilization was observed in fish fed 20–40 g kg^?1 dietary lipid. The fish fed a lipid‐free diet had the lowest protein efficiency and protein retention. Growth performance and feed utilization increased with the increasing dietary lipid levels up to 40 g kg^?1 dietary lipid. Higher dietary level (above 40 g kg^?1) made growth performance and feed utilization decrease and no protein sparing effect was observed. Lipid retention decreased as dietary lipid level increased. Mesenteric fat index (MFI) increased, hepatosomatic index (HSI) decreased with dietary lipid level. The increased MFI and simultaneous decrease lipid retention can be explained by differences in growth. The effect of dietary lipid levels on the chemical composition of tissues was significant only for whole body and muscle. The excess lipid content of liver in all groups was regarded as a slight symptom of fatty liver, which was partly identified by microscopic structural study and lower plasma lipid indexes, comparing to the initial plasma data. In conclusion, grass carp is a fish with low energy requirement and excess dietary lipid level should be avoided.

Qualitative and quantitative strategies of thermal adaptation of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) cytoplasmic malate dehydrogenases

Malate dehydrogenase isozymes of grass carp,Ctenopharyngodon idella, were identified by mitochondrial preparation and thermal denaturation. The structural and kinetic characteristics of chromatographically separated thermostable and thermolabile cMDHs were different in (1) half-life at 42°C, 10 min and 24 h, respectively, (2) optimal substrate, oxaloacetate and malate, concentrations, and (3) the apparent Michaelis-Menten constants of NADH and oxaloacetate.Total MDH activity in white muscle of 11°C-acclimated fish was about twice that of the 30°C-acclimated group. In addition, the ratio of the thermostable to thermolabile cMDH activity in white muscle of 30°C-acclimated fish was significantly higher than that of 11°C-acclimated fish. These results suggest that temperature acclimation can induce temperature compensation in MDH activity and differential expression of thermostable and thermolabile cMDH isozymes in freshwater fish.     

Dietary zinc requirement of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) based on growth and mineralization

A growth trial was conducted to estimate the optimum requirement of dietary zinc (Zn) for grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Triplicate groups of grass carp (3.97 ± 0.05 g) were fed diets containing graded levels (13, 25, 34, 53, 89 and 135 mg kg^?1) of Zn for 8 weeks. Grass carp fed with dietary Zn levels higher than 34 mg kg^?1 significantly increased final body weight, weight gain and specific growth rate (P < 0.05). For body composition, fish fed with dietary Zn levels higher than 53 mg kg^?1 significantly decreased the moisture contents but increased the lipid contents of whole body and liver. Whole body, scales, vertebrae and liver mineralization were all affected significantly (P < 0.05) by dietary Zn levels. Zn contents in whole body, scales, vertebrae and plasma were linearly increased up to the 53 mg kg^?1 dietary Zn and then remained stable beyond this level. Grass carp fed with dietary Zn levels higher than 53 mg kg^?1 significantly increased triacyglyceride and total cholesterol contents and plasma alkaline phosphatase activity in plasma (P < 0.05). Broken‐line analysis indicated that 55.1 mg kg^?1 dietary Zn was required for maximal tissue storage and mineralization as well as optimal growth of grass carp.     

Dietary available phosphorus requirement of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

A growth trial was conducted to estimate the optimum concentration of dietary available phosphorus (P) for grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Triplicate groups of grass carp (5.59 ± 0.02 g) were fed diets containing graded levels (2.36, 4.27, 6.31, 8.36, 10.4 and 14.8 g kg^?1) of available P for 8 weeks. Grass carp fed with the P‐supplemented diets had significantly higher specific growth rate, weight gain, protein efficiency ratio and feed efficiency than fish fed with the basal diet. In whole‐body composition, protein content increased, while lipid content decreased with the increase in P level in diet (P < 0.05). Fish fed with the P‐supplemented diets had significantly higher whole body, vertebrae and scales mineralization (P < 0.05), but Ca/P ratios were not influenced. The blood chemistry analysis showed that dietary available P had distinct effects on P, Ca and Mg contents, as well as on the contents of triacylglycerol and total cholesterol. Broken‐line analysis indicated that 8.49 g kg^?1 dietary available P was required for maximal tissue storage and mineralization as well as optimal growth.     

饲料中添加不同水平的维生素D3对草鱼幼鱼生长和体成分的影响

本文以酪蛋白和脱脂豆粕为蛋白源,糊精为糖源,玉米油和豆油为脂肪源的半纯化饲料为基础饲料,研究维生素D3对草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idellus)幼鱼生长及体成分的影响。维生素D3共设0,100,200,500,1000,2000,3000 IU/kg 7个添加梯度,每一梯度设3个重复,每个重复放养60尾初始体质量(3.86±0.34)g的草鱼,在(26.9±3)℃的流水系统中养殖8周。结果显示:维生素D3对草鱼幼鱼增重率、特定生长率、饲料系数、存活率、体水分、粗蛋白质、粗脂肪含量和血清钙浓度没有显著性影响(P>0.05);对照组和添加100 IU/kg维生素D3的试验组中,草鱼幼鱼的粗灰分显著低于其它试验组(P<0.05);与对照组相比,饲料中添加维生素D3对全鱼钙磷含量、血清磷离子浓度以及碱性磷酸酶活性影响显著(P<0.05)。根据维生素D3对全鱼钙磷含量的影响,草鱼幼鱼饲料中维生素D3适宜的添加量为1000 IU/kg。     

The evaluation of secondary stress response of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella, Val. 1844) after exposing to the saline water

The stress response of grass carp to salinity was evaluated assessing the levels of hematocrit, leucocrit, plasma glucose, sodium, potassium and calcium. Mean hematocrit values increased following exposure to salinity. Mean leucocrit values elevated after exposure to salinity for 24 h, then decreased. Mean plasma glucose increased during saline exposure for 48 h and then decreased to normal values. Plasma sodium and chloride levels were increased to their highest values after 48 h. While plasma potassium value increased with the exposure time, plasma calcium values were not affected by salinity exposure.     

膨化与非膨化饲料对大规格草鱼生长、体成分及部分生理生化指标影响

以商业配方为基础,配制膨化饲料和非膨化饲料饲喂初始体重（394.96±13.21g）草鱼（Ctenopharynodon idellus）120天,旨在对比这两种饲料对其生长、体成分及部分生理生化指标的影响。养殖试验在水库网箱（2m×2m×2m）中进行,每个处理组3个重复,每个重复30尾鱼。实验结果表明,与非膨化料组相比,膨化饲料组草鱼成活率和增重率显著提高（P＜0.05）,饵料系数显著降低（P＜0.05）,增重成本显著降低（P＜0.05）;肥满度、肝体比、脏体比和肠体比显著升高（P＜0.05）;鱼体血清血糖、甘油三酯、总固醇和过氧化氢酶显著升高（P＜0.05）;胰蛋白酶、淀粉酶和脂肪酶显著降低（P＜0.05）;肝脏谷丙转氨酶（GPT）显著升高,谷草转氨酶（GOT）显著降低（P＜0.05）;鱼体成分中水分和灰分无显著差异（P>0.05）,粗脂肪显著升高、粗蛋白显著降低（P＜0.05）。综上所述,与非膨化饲料相比,饲喂膨化饲料可使大规格草鱼生长性能和养殖效益提高,但会鱼体肥满度和粗脂肪含量提高。     

饲料中添加生物素对草鱼幼鱼生长、体成分和血清生化指标的影响

在纯化饲料中分别添加生物素0、0.05、0.10、0.20、0.40、0.80、1.60 mg/kg投喂初始质量为(5.92±0.25)g的草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idellus)幼鱼8周,研究了不同生物素添加量对草鱼幼鱼生长性能、饲料系数、机体营养成分、血清生化指标的影响。试验结果显示:与对照组相比,添加生物素提高了草鱼幼鱼的增重率、特定生长率,降低了饲料系数。添加量为0.40 mg/kg时草鱼幼鱼的特定生长率和增重率最大,饲料系数最低,并与对照组存在显著差异(P<0.05);添加不同水平生物素对草鱼幼鱼全鱼水分、粗蛋白、粗脂肪含量无显著影响,但添加量为0.40 mg/kg时粗蛋白含量最大。0.10 mg/kg组和0.20 mg/kg组的全鱼灰分含量显著高于对照组(P<0.05);添加生物素对血清总蛋白(TP)、血糖(GLU)和总胆固醇(TC)无显著影响,但显著提高了血清甘油三酯(TG)含量,各添加组TG含量均显著高于对照组(P<0.05),1.60 mg/kg添加组的高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)含量显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。综合本试验结果,草鱼幼鱼饲料中生物素适宜添加量为0.40 mg/kg。     

Dietary magnesium requirement and effects on growth and tissue magnesium content of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

A growth trial was conducted to estimate the optimum concentration of dietary magnesium (Mg) for grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Triplicate groups of grass carp (5.56 ± 0.02 g) were fed diets containing graded levels (187, 331, 473, 637, 779 and 937 mg kg^?1) of Mg for 8 weeks. Weight gain, specific growth rate and feed efficiency were linearly increased up to 637 mg kg^?1 dietary Mg and then levelled off beyond this level. For body composition, dietary Mg levels higher than 473 mg kg^?1 significantly decreased the moisture content but increased the lipid content of whole body, muscle and liver. Dietary Mg levels higher than 473 mg kg^?1 significantly decreased the ash contents of vertebrae, scales and muscle. Mg contents in whole body, vertebrae, scales and plasma were increased up to 637 mg kg^?1 dietary Mg and then levelled off beyond this level. However, Ca and P contents seem to be inversely related to dietary Mg. Dietary Mg levels higher than 473 mg kg^?1 significantly decreased Zn and Fe contents in whole body and vertebrae. Broken‐line analysis indicated that 687 mg kg^?1 dietary Mg was required for maximal tissue Mg storage, as well as satisfied for the optimal growth.     

Dietary calcium requirement and effects on growth and tissue calcium content of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)

A growth trial was conducted to estimate the optimum concentration of dietary calcium (Ca) for grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Triplicate groups of grass carp (4.52 ± 0.02 g) were fed diets containing graded levels (2.75, 4.51, 6.24, 7.99, 9.66 and 11.5 g kg^?1) of Ca for 8 weeks. Weight gain, feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio were linearly increased up to the 7.99 g kg^?1 dietary Ca and then maintained stable beyond this level (P < 0.05). Dietary Ca levels higher than 7.99 g kg^?1 significantly increased the ash contents of whole body, vertebrae and scales. Ca contents in whole body, vertebrae and scales were linearly increased up to the 7.99 g kg^?1 dietary Ca and then maintained stable beyond this level (P < 0.05). In contrast, dietary Ca levels higher than 9.66 g kg^?1 significantly decreased Mg contents in whole body, vertebrae and scales. Dietary Ca levels higher than 7.99 g kg^?1 significantly increased plasma alkaline phosphatase activity. However, plasma Ca, P and Mg contents were not significantly affected by dietary Ca supplements (P > 0.05). Polynomial regression analysis indicated that 10.4 g kg^?1 dietary Ca was required for maximal tissue storage and mineralization as well as optimal growth.     

投饲率对草鱼生长、体组成和能量收支的影响

为了建立草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idella)的精准投喂模型管理系统,研究了不同投喂水平下草鱼的能量收支。实验在水温(27.5±2.0)℃条件下,选用初始体重(71.03±1.13)g的草鱼,共设5个不同投饲水平(饥饿、1%鱼体重(1%BW)、2%BW、4%BW和饱食),研究摄食水平对草鱼生长、鱼体组分和能量收支的影响。结果显示:随投喂水平的增加,草鱼鱼体水分减少,粗蛋白含量、粗脂肪含量和能量增加,灰分含量先减少后增加。特定生长率和热积温生长系数均随投喂水平的增加先增加再降低,在5%鱼体重时达到最大,且高于饱食投喂组。饵料转化率(FE)在投喂水平为体重2%组最高,且显著高于其他各组。干物质和能量表观消化率随投喂水平的增加而显著增加,蛋白质表观消化率在投喂水平为体重2%组显著高于其他组。生长能比例随投喂水平的增加而显著增加,而在体重2%组到饱食组间均无显著性差异;代谢能与生长能相反。在最大投喂水平下的能量收支方程为:100 C=21.72 F+4.25 U+45.85R+28.18 G或100 A=61.94R+38.06G。结果表明,5%鱼体重的投喂量为草鱼此阶段的最佳投喂水平。     

Effects of dietary phosphorus and starch levels on growth performance,body composition and nutrient utilization of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella Val.)

Six iso‐nitrogenous (410 g kg^?1) diets with three levels of total phosphorus (P4, P10 and P18 g kg^?1) and two levels of starch (S200 and S350 g kg^?1) were fed to triplicate groups of 30 fish to evaluate whether the high level of dietary phosphorus could improve the utilization of starch. Over 8‐week‐growth trial, best weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) (P < 0.05) were observed in fish fed the P10/S200 and P18/S200 diets. WG and SGR significantly decreased as starch levels increased whereas for P4, while lipid contents of liver and whole body, hepatosomatic index and intraperitoneal fat ratio (IPF) significantly increased. These results suggested that high dietary starch will depress the growth performance and cause lipid accumulation. Within both starch levels, fish fed diet with P4 tended to produce lower (P < 0.05) WG and SGR, and had higher (P < 0.05) values of IPF. The whole body lipid, ash, calcium, phosphorus and iron contents were significantly affected by dietary phosphorus levels. Supplied phosphorus could improve the growth and decrease the whole body lipid, but there is no more effect after the phosphorus requirement was met at 10 g kg^?1.     

Dietary manganese requirement of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella Val.) based on growth and tissue manganese concentration

A growth trial was conducted to estimate the optimum concentration of dietary Manganese (Mn) for grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Triplicate groups of grass carp (3.97 ± 0.05 g) were fed diets containing graded levels (4.0, 8.9, 13.8, 18.7, 23.6 and 33.3 mg kg^?1) of Mn for 8 weeks. Weight gain, specific growth rate and feed efficiency were linearly increased up to the 18.7 mg kg^?1 dietary Mn and then levelled off beyond this level. For body composition, lipid contents in whole body, muscle and liver decreased significantly with increasing dietary Mn level. Grass carp fed with dietary Mn levels higher than 19.7 mg kg^?1 significantly decreased condition factor. Whole body, vertebrae and scales mineralization were all affected significantly by dietary Mn levels. Mn contents in whole body, vertebrae and scales were linearly increased up to the 18.7 mg kg^?1 dietary Mn and then levelled off beyond this level. Contrarily, Ca and P contents seem to be inversely related to dietary Mn. However, dietary Mn levels had no significant effect on body Fe contents. Broken‐line analysis indicated that 20.6 mg kg^?1 dietary Mn was required for maximal tissue Mn storage, as well as satisfied for the optimal growth of juvenile grass carp.     

Effects of dissolved oxygen and dietary lysine levels on growth performance,feed conversion ratio and body composition of grass carp,Ctenopharyngodon idella

In order to investigate the effects of lysine and dissolved oxygen on grass carp, the grass carp were fed with 13, 15 and 17 g kg ⁻¹ lysine diet at about 6 mg L⁻¹ (high dissolved oxygen, HO group) or 3.5 mg L⁻¹ (low dissolved oxygen, LO group) dissolved oxygen level, for 8 weeks. The fish were fed to apparent satiation by hand. The results showed that apparent digestibility of protein, energy and dry matter were decreased significantly when grass carp were fed at 3.5 mg L⁻¹ dissolved oxygen, and feed intake (FI) was also inhibited by low dissolved oxygen (P < 0.05). Weight gain, protein retention, protein efficiency, feed conversion ratio and amino acid retention of fish at 6 mg L⁻¹ dissolved oxygen level were significantly improved at 3.5 mg L⁻¹ dissolved oxygen level (P < 0.05). Weight gain, protein and amino acid retention, and feed efficiency of grass carp at the two dissolved oxygen levels were significantly improved by lysine supplementation (P < 0.05). The dietary lysine level and dissolved oxygen of water had an interaction effect on feed conversion ratios (P < 0.05). Grass carp fed at low dissolved oxygen level showed lower liver protein and fat contents. Plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity of grass carp fed at 3.5 mg L⁻¹ dissolved oxygen level was significantly increased compared to 6 mg L⁻¹ dissolved oxygen level (P < 0.05). Our results show that low dissolved oxygen level of water is harmful to the liver of grass carp.     

不同投喂频率下草鱼对5种非粮蛋白源利用效率的比较

采用双因素正交试验(3ｘ5)评估了草鱼在3种投喂频率下对豆粕(美国)、乙醇梭菌蛋白、黄粉虫、小球藻、棉籽蛋白粉的利用效率。以5种原料为单一蛋白源配制5种等氮等能饲料,在池塘网箱(1mｘ1.5mｘ1.5m)中,分别以投喂频率(2次/d、3次/d和4次/d)投喂初始体质量~80g的草鱼8周,考察草鱼的生长性能,全鱼和肌肉营养成分以及血清生化指标。研究结果表明：黄粉虫试验组(2次/d)草鱼表现出最低的生长性能;豆粕(4次/d)和乙醇梭菌蛋白(3次/d和4次/d)试验组草鱼表现出最高的生长性能;投喂频率与蛋白源对草鱼的末重,饲料系数,蛋白质效率和增重率有交互作用(P＜0.05)。除小球藻试验组,各试验组草鱼的终末体质量和蛋白质效率随着投喂频率的增加而增加。不考虑蛋白源,投喂频率为4次/d的草鱼生长性能显著高于2次/d。 不考虑投喂频率,黄粉虫和棉籽浓缩蛋白组的增重率和蛋白质效率显著低于豆粕、乙醇梭菌蛋白和小球藻三组(P＜0.05),饲料系数则表现出相反的趋势(P＜0.05)。不同的投喂频率下,五种蛋白源对草鱼的形体指标(肝体比、脏体比、肥满度)和全鱼和肌肉的基础营养成分均无显著影响(P＞0.05)。投喂频率对草鱼血清的碱性磷酸酶和葡萄糖有显著影响(P＜0.05),投喂2次/d的碱性磷酸酶的活性显著高于投喂3次/d和投喂4次/d(P＜0.05),投喂4次/d试验鱼的葡萄糖含量显著高于投喂2次/d和3次/d(P＜0.05)。黄粉虫试验组草鱼血清中的谷丙转氨酶和谷草转氨酶活性显著高于豆粕组和小球藻组(P＜0.05)。本试验条件下,以生长性能为评价指标,草鱼适宜的投喂频率为3~4次/d,草鱼对五种蛋白源饲料的利用能力为：乙醇梭菌蛋白=豆粕=小球藻>棉籽浓缩蛋白>黄粉虫。     

运用生物能量学模型预测草鱼生长、饲料需求和污染排放

为预测不同生长阶段草鱼生长性能、饲料需求量和污染排放量,提高草鱼投喂管理水平,本研究运用特定增长率(SGR)、日增长率(DGC)、日均增重(ADG)和热积温系数(TGC)等生长模型计算草鱼在不同生长阶段的生长速率,并通过计算定期采样中实际观测值和预测值最小残差平方和法选出最优生长模型。饲料需求模型通过估算鱼类消化能需求量决定,根据能量收支原理,通过计算鱼体储积能(RE)、基础代谢能(He E)、摄食热增能(Hi E)以及尿液和鳃的代谢能(UE+ZE),来估算草鱼的消化能,再根据所用饲料的消化能含量来确定草鱼对饲料的需求量。草鱼污染物排放主要采用营养物质平衡法计算。在模型验证时,以粗蛋白分别为33%、28%、23%的饲料投喂不同生长阶段的草鱼,将草鱼体质量和饲料系数(FCR)的模型预测值与实际观测值进行比较。结果显示,与其他生长模型(SGR、ADG、DGC)相比,调整后的TGC模型能更精确预测草鱼的生长情况;草鱼体质量和FCR预测值与观测值之间显著相关;每生产1 t鱼(体质量为0.5~2 500 g),其消化能需求量约为1.55×107 k J,消耗1 t饲料或生产1 t鱼所排放的总固态污染物分别为440和623 kg。研究表明,该复合性营养模型可以有效地估计实际养殖中草鱼生长、饲料需求量和污染物排放量,有望为草鱼差异化上市、节省饲料成本、减少饲料浪费以及养殖场的污染评价提供有效的预判工具。

草鱼幼鱼对异亮氨酸的需要量

以初始体重（8.25±0.37） g的草鱼幼鱼为试验对象,分别采用异亮氨酸（isoleucine,Ile)水平为0.77 %、1.07 %、1.37 %、1.67 %、1.97 %和2.27 % 6组等氮(粗蛋白35.25 %)半纯化日粮对草鱼进行了72 d生长试验,研究其日粮异亮氨酸需要量。结果表明：（1）日粮Ile水平为1.67 %时,草鱼增重率、特定生长率和蛋白质效率最高,饲料系数最低;鱼体空壳率和肥满度达到最大值,内脏指数最小;草鱼体水分、体脂最低,体蛋白、灰分最高;肌肉水分最低,粗蛋白最高。而各水平之间肌肉粗脂肪无显著差异(P> 0.05);日粮Ile水平为1.67 %时,草鱼肌肉Ile含量和肌肉氨基酸总量最高。（2）随日粮Ile水平增加,肌肉RNA/DNA呈先升后降趋势,Ile 1.67 %水平组最高;而肝脏谷氨酸脱氢酶却呈先降后升趋势,Ile 1.67 %水平组最低。血氨在Ile 0.77 % ~ 1.67 %水平组之间处于稳定状态,高于1.67 %水平后呈上升趋势。血清白蛋白受日粮Ile水平的影响不显著（P> 0.05）。（3）随日粮Ile水平增加,血清甘油三酯和胆固醇均呈先降后升趋势,且在Ile 1.67%水平组,两项指标均为最低值,显著低于其他水平组（P< 0.05）。根据增重率、特定生长率、饲料系数和蛋白质效率与日粮Ile水平的二次曲线关系,确定草鱼幼鱼日粮(粗蛋白35.25 %) Ile适宜需要量范围为1.41 %～1.49 %(日粮基础)或4.0 %～4.23 %(日粮蛋白基础)。
