Effect of pretreatments on chemical compositions of mince from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and fishy odor development in protein hydrolysate

Fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) have gained increasing attention as nutritious fish products. Lipid oxidation associated with fishy odor in FPH limits its utility. Thus, an appropriate pretreatment of fish mince prior to hydrolysis by lowering pro-oxidants and lipid substrates could tackle such a problem. Different pretreatments of Nile tilapia minces including (1) washing (W), (2) washing and membrane removal (W-MR), and (3) washing/membrane removal followed by acid or alkaline solubilization (W-MR-Ac or W-MR-Al) were conducted prior to hydrolysis. During the hydrolysis process, degree of hydrolysis (DH) and chemical changes were monitored. Color and sensory properties of milk fortified with hydrolysates prepared from mince without and with pretreatment were also determined. Among the pretreated mince samples, W-MR-Al contained the lowest remaining myoglobin and heme iron contents and also showed the lowest total lipid and phospholipid contents (P?<?0.05). When mince and W-MR-Al were hydrolyzed using Alcalase for up to 120?min, higher DH were found in W-MR-Al. Furthermore, lower peroxide values, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and non-heme iron contents of hydrolysates from W-MR-Al were also observed (P?<?0.05). When FPH powder from mince and W-MR-Al (0.3% to 0.5%) were fortified in milk, the former yielded a lower likeness score (P?<?0.05) at all levels used. The addition of the latter up to 0.5% had no effect on likeness of all attributes, compared with control (without FPH). An appropriate pretreatment of mince was a promising approach to lower fishy odor problem, caused by lipid oxidation in FPH.     

不同蛋白水解物对花鲈(Lateolabrax japonicus)生长性能及非特异性免疫的影响

实验以基础饲料组[含30％鱼粉蛋白(FM)]为对照组,用鱼蛋白水解物(FPH)、猪血蛋白水解物(PBPH)、酵母蛋白水解物(YPH)和豆粕蛋白水解物(SPH)分别替代配方中10％的鱼粉蛋白,配制成5组等氮等脂的饲料,喂养初始平均体重为31.99 g的花鲈(Lateolabrax japonicus)8周,探讨饲料中不同蛋白水解物对花鲈生长、饲料利用、体组成成分及非特异性免疫的影响.结果显示:各处理组实验鱼存活率在97.78％-98.89％之间,没有显著性差异(P＞0.05);FPH组与FM组的末重和特定生长率最高,两者之间没有显著差异(P＞0.05),但显著高于PBPH组、SPH组和YPH组(P＜0.05);FPH组饲料效率高于FM组、PBPH组和YPH组(P＞0.05),且显著高于SPH组(P＜0.05);各实验处理组鲈鱼摄食率没有显著差异(P＞0.05);FPH组蛋白效率比显著高于FM组、PBPH组、SPH组和YPH组(P＜0.05);FPH组、FM组和YPH组的蛋白质沉积率显著高于PBPH组和SPH组(P＜0.05).饲料中添加FPH和YPH会显著增加花鲈肝脏和血清中碱性磷酸酶、酸性磷酸酶、超氧化物歧化酶、溶菌酶活性和总抗氧化能力,显著高于FM组、PBPH组和SPH组(P＜0.05).FPH组的花鲈鱼体粗蛋白含量高于FM组和YPH组,但差异不显著(P＞0.05),FPH组显著高于PBPH组和SPH组(P＜0.05).综上所述,4种不同蛋白水解物替代鱼粉后投喂花鲈幼鱼,鱼蛋白水解物效果最好,其次是酵母蛋白水解物、猪血蛋白水解物和豆粕蛋白水解物.     

Impact of microwave-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis on functional and antioxidant properties of rainbow trout <Emphasis Type="Italic">Oncorhynchus mykiss</Emphasis> by-products

Fishery by-products can be better utilized following enzymatic hydrolysis treatment to produce fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) with potentially enhanced interface-stabilizing properties (e.g. functionality). The production of FPH could be accelerated through the application of rapid heating methods [e.g. microwave-assisted heating (MW)] rather than slower conventional heating (CH) treatments. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of microwave heating during enzymatic hydrolysis on the functionality and antioxidant properties of FPH. Trout by-products were hydrolyzed with Alcalase at an enzyme substrate ratio (E:S) of 0.5, 1.7, and 3.0% (w/v), respectively, for 3, 5 and 15 min using a microwave system (1200 W, 20% power with 50% duty cycle at 50–55 °C) and a conventional heating method (water bath at 50 °C). The degree of hydrolysis and protein solubility was higher (P < 0.05) for the MW-FPH than for the CH-FPH. MW-FPH at 5 min (0.5% E:S) demonstrated higher (P < 0.05) emulsifying activity and emulsion stability than CH-FPH with the same treatment. Foam capacity and stability were also greater (P < 0.05) for MW-FPH samples that were treated 15 min by microwave-assisted heating (0.5% E:S) when compared to CH. Overall, MW-FPH exhibited higher (P < 0.05) 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl and ferric ion reducing capacity than CH-FPH. We therefore conclude that microwave-assisted hydrolysis is an alternative method to produce FPH with improved solubility, emulsifying activity, foaming properties and antioxidant activity.     

Quality changes of shrimp cracker covered with fish gelatin film without and with palm oil incorporated during storage

Impact of fish gelatin film incorporated without and with palm oil on the quality changes of fried shrimp cracker stored for 15 days at room temperature was investigated, in comparison with nylon/linear low-density polyethylene (nylon/LLDPE) film. The moisture content and water activity of shrimp cracker packaged with all films increased during storage (p < 0.05). The lowest moisture content and water activity were found in the sample packaged with nylon/LLDPE film throughout the storage (p < 0.05). Sample packaged with fish gelatin films incorporated with palm oil generally had lower moisture content than those without oil added during the first 12 days of storage (p < 0.05). During 15 days of storage, shrimp cracker packaged with nylon/LLDPE film generally had the lower PV and TBARS value as well as volatile compounds, except for n-nonanal, than those stored in fish gelatin films, regardless of oil incorporation. The decrease in crispiness and increase in toughness occurred in all samples during the 15 days of storage. Nevertheless, the lower changes were observed in the sample packaged with nylon/LLDPE film. Overall, gelatin film showed excellent oxygen barrier property, which was associated with the retardation of lipid oxidation. The incorporation of oil into gelatin film could lower WVP, but negatively increased oxygen permeability of the resulting film. Thus, the improvement of gelatin film is still required.     

Replacement of fishmeal by two types of fish protein hydrolysate in feed for postlarval shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei

After filleting of tilapia, the material remaining is discarded and this waste represents about 700 g/kg of fish body volume, corresponding to carcass and viscera. These leftovers are important sources of proteins that can be used as feed in aquaculture industry by producing protein hydrolysates. In this study, two protein hydrolysates of tilapia were produced, with one (FPH1) and two (FPH2) hours of hydrolysis. The nutritional composition of the hydrolysates showed desirable levels of crude protein and essential amino acids. Electrophoresis revealed peptides ranging from 10 to 250 kDa. In addition, caseinolytic activity was recorded by zymogram. The hydrolysates were incorporated separately in experimental diets to replace fishmeal at distinct levels: 0, 40, 80 and 120 g/kg, totalizing seven diets named 0 (control), 40H₁, 80H₁, 120H₁, 40H₂, 80H₂ and 120H₂. A 45‐day feeding trial was carried out to evaluate the zootechnical performance of postlarvae fed these diets. In conclusion, the use of FPH2 as a substitute for fishmeal promotes better shrimp growth than FPH1 and allows higher levels of substitution. In addition, it is recommended a 60 g/kg fishmeal replacement by FPH2 to improve growth.     

Antioxidant and ACE Inhibitory Activities of Kawakawa (Euthynnus affinis) Protein Hydrolysate Produced by Skipjack Tuna Pepsin

ABSTRACT

Pepsin enzyme from skipjack tuna was extracted for the production of kawakawa (Euthynnus affinis) fish protein hydrolysate. Using ultra-fractionation, Kawakawa protein hydrolysates were separated into four different fractions, including fractioned protein hydrolysate I (FPH I) (< 1 kDa), FPH-II (1–3 kDa), FPH-III (3–10 kDa), and FPH-IV (> 10 kDa). The antioxidant activity was assessed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity, inhibition of linoleic acid oxidation, reducing power tests, and chelating activity of metal ions. Results indicated that FPH II fraction peptides had higher antioxidant activity in comparison with the other fractions, followed by FPH I. Further, the fractions were evaluated for angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, and IC₅₀ value ranged from 0.45 to 1.86 mg/ml with higher activity in FPH I (IC₅₀ 0.45). Finally, the amino acid profile of different fractions was analyzed. The fractions exhibited significant amounts of hydrophobic amino acids, which could perform as hydrogen donors, frustrate the free radicals, and inhibit the ACE. The recovered pepsin from the viscera was used to produce hydrolysates with good biological activities. Peptides lower than 3 KDa had antioxidant activity as positive controls and significant ACE activity. These are very important findings that could be used to conduct further research in a preclinical study of these peptides.

Characterization and Cryoprotection of Invasive Silver Carp (Hypophthalmicthys molitrix) Protein Hydrolysates

ABSTRACT

Silver carp (Hypophthalmicthys molitrix) is regarded as an invasive, underutilized freshwater fish causing environmental and economic complications along the U.S. Mississippi River System. In this study, silver carp protein hydrolysates (FPH) were obtained from 30, 60, 90, 120, and 240 min hydrolysis with Protamex®. Amino acid composition showed polar amino acids, including Asp and Glu, and freed hydrophobic residues in FPH-90 and FPH-240. Protein surface hydrophobicity of FPH increased with increasing degree of hydrolysis. Cryoprotection was evaluated using a muscle (mince) food system with 6% FPH (w/w) from each hydrolysis time condition, an untreated mince (CTRL), and 8% (w/w) 1:1 sucrose-sorbitol (SUSO), respectively. After six freeze-thaw cycles (D7), all FPH treatments had lower (p < 0.05) expressible moisture, indicating strong water-holding capacity by the FPH. FPH formulations also imparted antifreeze activity equal to or better than SUSO, with the FPH-90 exhibiting higher (p < 0.05) proportion (43.9%) of unfrozen water at D7. Results from this study provide preliminary evidence for development of effective cryoprotectants using an underutilized, invasive fish species that can be exploited for environmental and economic gain in the form of value-added ingredients and further provide opportunities to understand the fundamental physicochemical properties governing cryoprotection of FPH in a frozen mince system.     

Effect of dietary common carp by‐product protein hydrolysates on antioxidant status in different organs of zebrafish (Danio rerio)

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary protein hydrolysates from common carp (Cyprinus carpio) by‐products on the antioxidant status of zebrafish (Danio rerio). Common carp by‐product was hydrolysed using Alcalase to a degree of hydrolysis of 15%. The zebrafish were fed for 44 days with four different diets with increasing levels of carp by‐product hydrolysates (CBH0: 0 g/kg; CBH25: 25 g/kg; CBH50: 50 g/kg; CBH100: 100 g/kg). The gills, muscle and brain were dissected at the end of the feeding trial in order to evaluate the total antioxidant capacity against peroxyl radicals (ACAP) and lipid peroxidation (TBARS). Although total antioxidant capacity did not show differences in muscle (p > 0.05), lipid peroxidation was reduced in the muscle of fish fed the CBH50 diet. Brain lipid peroxidation showed a significant reduction (p < 0.05) in all groups when compared with the control diet CBH0. Antioxidant properties of protein hydrolysates indicate their potential as nutraceuticals since (a) a reduction in muscle lipid peroxidation was verified, implying that their use could enhance the quality and shelf life of fish fillets; and (b) a decrease in brain lipid peroxidation was registered, highlighting the potential use of fish protein hydrolysates for the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases.     

Taurine alone or in combination with fish protein hydrolysate affects growth performance,taurine transport and metabolism in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.)

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of taurine (Tau) alone or in combination with fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) on growth performance, the expression of Tau transporter (TauT) and metabolic profile in juvenile turbot. FM, FPH0, FPH0+T, FPH10 and FPH10+T diets, respectively, contained 300, 150, 150, 80, and 80 g/kg fishmeal. FPH10 and FPH10+T diets contained 62 g/kg FPH. FPH0+T and FPH10+T diets were, respectively, prepared by supplementing the FPH0 and FPH10 diet formulations with 8 g/kg Tau. Specific growth rate was the highest in FM group and the lowest in FPH10 group. TauT mRNA levels in fish fed Tau supplemented diets were significantly lower than that in Tau unsupplemented diets. NMR‐based metabolomics analysis showed that Tau contents in liver of FPH0+T and FPH10+T were significantly higher than that of FM, FPH0 and FPH10. In muscle, Tau contents were significantly decreased in the FPH10+T versus FPH0 and the FPH10+T versus FPH10 comparisons. In conclusion, 62 g/kg FPH to replace fishmeal may not affect Tau synthesis, transport and metabolism. However, Tau supplemented alone or in combination with a certain level of FPH could reduce the requirement for Tau synthesis and transport and increased Tau levels in muscle and liver.     

Fish protein hydrolysate in diets of turbot affects muscle fibre morphometry,and the expression of muscle growth‐related genes

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) in diets for turbot on growth performance, muscle fibre morphometry, and the expression of muscle growth‐related genes. A control diet (FPH0) contained 0 g/kg FPH, and four experimental diets were formulated replacing fishmeal with FPH at levels of 45 (FPH4.5), 120 (FPH12), 180 (FPH18) and 300 (FPH30) g/kg. Fish fed the FPH12 and FPH18 diets had higher specific growth rate (SGR) than fish fed the FPH0 diet (p < .05), and a quadratic regression was found between SGR and dietary FPH level (p = .001, R² = .677). Cross‐section area (CSA) and the length of sarcomere in the FPH12 group increased compared with the control group (p < .05), and a quadratic regression was observed between CSA and dietary FPH level (p = .006, R² = .574) and between sarcomere length and dietary FPH level (p = .018, R² = .788). An appropriate level of FPH down‐regulated myostatin 2 gene expression and up‐regulated proliferating cell nuclear antigen gene expression, while the expression of myogenic regulatory factors was not affected by dietary treatments (p > .05). To conclude, an appropriate level of FPH may improve muscle growth by regulating the expression of muscle growth‐related genes, and muscle microstructure and ultrastructure.     

Nutrient utilization in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) fed increased levels of fish protein hydrolysate during a period of fast growth

The present work was designed to study whether changes in dietary protein quality by means of partial inclusion of fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) would alter fish growth, feed utilization, protein retention and metabolism and fish health in general. FPH was produced after hydrolysing whole minced herring using the industrial enzyme Alcalase®. The dietary protein source, low‐temperature‐dried (LT) fishmeal nitrogen was exchanged with FPH nitrogen at six levels of inclusion ranging from 0 to 300 g kg^?1. The experimental diets were fed to post‐smolt (1+) Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), with mean initial weight of 174 g for a period of 68 days. All diets were iso‐nitrogenous, iso‐energetic and contained the same amount of amino acids. Fish fed medium inclusion of FPH (180–240 g kg^?1) showed a tendency to have higher feed intake than fish fed lower and higher levels of FPH inclusions. Significant higher individual specific growth rates were present in fish fed diets with 180 and 240 g kg^?1 FPH when compared with those fed 300 g kg^?1. Feed conversion ratio increased significantly (R² = 0.61) and protein efficiency ratio decreased significantly (R² = 0.59) in fish fed increased levels of FPH. Further, apparent digestibility of crude protein and the amino acids arginine, lysine, methionine and phenylalanine increased significantly with increased dietary inclusion of FPH. Plasma free amino acids, ammonium and urea indicated that FPH amino acids was absorbed earlier and nonsynchronously, and may thus be more prone to be catabolized than in those fish fed the less solubilized protein. FPH inclusion did not have an impact on fish health, as evaluated by haematology and clinical parameters.

为了探讨鱼蛋白水解物对黄颡鱼生产性能的影响,以日本鳀粉为对照,以实用型黄颡鱼饲料配方模式为基础开展实验:1以30.5%鱼粉为对照(FM),在相同配方模式下,以6%鱼蛋白水解物(MPH6)替代20%的鱼粉;2以30.5%鱼粉为对照(FM),在无鱼粉日粮中分别添加3%(FPH3)、6%(FPH6)、12%(FPH12)鱼蛋白水解物;共设计5组等氮等能实验日粮,在池塘网箱中养殖黄颡鱼[初始体质量(30.08±0.35)g]60 d。结果显示:与FM相比,FPH12在SGR、FCR、PRR和FRR方面均无显著差异,而MPH6、FPH3、FPH6组SGR降低了15.45%~24.39%,FCR升高了32.14%~42.86%,MPH6、FPH6差异显著,在PRR和FRR方面,MPH6、FPH3、FPH6组PRR降低了21.11%~27.78%,MPH6组FRR降低了41.51%;全鱼水分、粗蛋白、粗脂肪和灰分各组间差异不显著,FPH3、FPH6、FPH12肌肉多种游离氨基酸水平显著高于FM,其中Thr、Val、His与其在日粮中的水平显著相关;FPH6组HSI显著低于FM,鱼蛋白水解物对CP、VSI、肠体比的影响不显著;血清AST、ALT、HDL、LDL、TP、CHOL、TG无显著差异,FPH3组ALB显著低于FM。研究表明:黄颡鱼日粮中,12%鱼蛋白水解物(干物质)与30.5%鱼粉在生长速度、饲料效率、血清生理指标等方面具有一定的等效性;过高的植物蛋白日粮影响了黄颡鱼的生产性能;饲喂鱼蛋白水解物日粮使黄颡鱼肌肉游离氨基酸的含量升高,特别是呈味氨基酸的含量增加。     

Common Kilka Hydrolysis: Investigation of Functional and In Vitro Antioxidant Properties of Hydrolysates Obtained by Kiwifruit and Ginger Proteases

The functional and in vitro antioxidant properties of common kilka fish protein hydrolysates with different degree of hydrolysis (DH) obtained by kiwifruit protease (KP) and ginger protease (GP) were evaluated. The electrophoretic patterns of hydrolysates showed the presence of one major band in different DHs with a molecular weight of less than 25 kDa. Protein solubility was positively correlated with DH, and the solubility of KP and GP hydrolysates (HKP and HGP, respectively) at 15% DH was higher than other DHs (p ≤ 0.05). Higher emulsifying and foaming properties were observed in HKP over a pH range of 2–10 (p ≤ 0.05), and in vitro antioxidant activity was higher in HKP at 15% DH as seen from 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging and ferric-reducing power. Thus, the results reveal that DH and enzyme type affects functional properties and antioxidant activity of the hydrolysates.     

Peptide profile of the sardine protein hydrolysate affects food utilization and intestinal microbiota of Nile tilapia

The present study evaluated effects of the degree of hydrolysis and peptide profile of sardine (Sardinella sp.) protein hydrolysates (SPH) from muscle tissue wastes on productive performance, body composition, hematological parameters, biochemical parameters of metabolism, antioxidant response, and intestinal microbiology tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Diets containing three SPH with different degrees of hydrolysis (low: 5.5%; intermediate: 27.9%, and high: 62.5%) were compared to a control diet with fish meal. The experimental design was completely randomized with four treatments and five repetitions. One hundred eighty tilapia juveniles (6.16?±?2.0 g) were distributed in 20 polyethylene tanks of 70 l of useful volume and were evaluated during 56 days. No direct relationship was observed between the degree of hydrolysis of SPH and fish productive performance. Feed consumption was reduced in all diets with SPH (means 53.03 g) compared to the control group (65.91 g), which impaired fish growth and metabolic reserves. Feed utilization was affected by the SPH peptide profile. SPH with a more diverse peptide profile (mean 1.40) had a feed efficiency similar to the control diet (1.22). Changes in biochemical and metabolic parameters in tissues, oxidative response, and microbial populations were observed but may be associated with the low consumption of diets containing SPH. Results suggest that it is necessary to properly characterize hydrolysates and understand their composition before applying fish feed.

     

Fish protein hydrolysate affected amino acid absorption and related gene expressions of IGF‐1/AKT pathways in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)

The effects of fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) on growth, peptide and amino acid (AA) transporters, postprandial free AA and related gene expression of IGF‐1/AKT pathway were evaluated in turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). Three diets were formulated to contain the same low level of fishmeal; meanwhile 0, 45 and 180 g/kg FPH were, respectively, supplemented to the FF (FPH‐free), FL (FPH‐Low) and FH (FPH‐High) diets. Fish fed the FH diet improved the growth compared with the other groups. For peptide and AA transporters, PepT1, B⁰AT1, CAT1 and PAT1 mRNA levels in proximal or distal intestine decreased in fish fed the FH diet. The concentration of free total essential AAs in serum was higher in the FH treatment than that in the FF treatment at 2 and 6 hr after feeding. For IGF‐1/AKT pathway in muscle, IGF‐1, 4E‐BP1 and FoxO1 mRNA levels were the highest in the FH group, whereas IGF‐1R mRNA levels were the highest expression level in the FF group. In conclusion, down‐regulated AAs transport, alleviated the delayed postprandial peak of serum‐free AAs and increased muscle protein synthesis were observed to improve the growth when turbot was fed high FPH level diets containing a high plant protein.

Replacement of fishmeal by fish protein hydrolysate and biofloc in the diets of Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the gradual replacement of fishmeal with fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) and biofloc flour (BF) in the diets of white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae (2 mg). Five diets (420 g kg^?1 of crude protein) were formulated, and these replaced 0 (control), 10, 20, 30 and 40% (T0, T10, T20, T30 and T40, respectively) of the fishmeal. A commercial diet was used as an external control. The alternative ingredients FPH and BF were added at a ratio of 1 : 1. After 42 days, the shrimp survival was higher than 99% in all the treatment groups. A regression test indicated that the ideal fishmeal substitution level to obtain optimal zootechnical parameters (final weight, weight gain and protein efficiency) is between 15.16 and 16.5%. In this study, we demonstrated that BF and FPH are potential ingredients that can be used to replace fishmeal in L. vannamei postlarvae diets.     

Development of Optimized Edible Packaging Based on White-cheek Shark (Carcharhinus dussumieri) Skin Gelatin Biopolymer: Mechanical,Water Vapor Permeability,and Structural Properties

White-cheek shark skin gelatin (WSG) edible films were optimized with respect to their barrier, mechanical, and structural properties using response surface methodology (RSM), with the introduction of gelatin concentrations (1–4% w/v based on film forming solution) and glycerol contents (15–35% w/w based on gelatin weight) as the independent variables. WSG films with moderate levels of glycerol had higher tensile strength (TS), elastic modulus (EM), and elongation at break (E@b) depending more significantly on gelatin content. Adding higher levels of glycerol, film roughness was observed to decrease exponentially but water vapor permeability (WVP) increased linearly. Structural analysis using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed more aggregated protein structures at higher gelatin content, which could be strongly related to the notable increase of contact angle. According to the model, the optimum conditions for the WSG film formula were found to be 3.3% WSG and 19.3% glycerol, giving a predicted maximum E@b, TS, EM, roughness, and contact angle of 183%, 4.4 MPa, 92 MPa, 4.93 nm, and 101°, respectively, with a predicted minimum WVP of 11.8 g.mm/day.m².kPa.     

An evaluation of replacing fish meal with cottonseed meal protein hydrolysate in diet for juvenile blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala): Growth,antioxidant, innate immunity and disease resistance

This study evaluated effects of fishmeal replacement by cottonseed meal protein hydrolysate (CPH) on growth, antioxidant and immunity of Megalobrama amblycephala and its resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila. Fish (average weight: 38.66 ± 0.08 g) were divided into five groups and fed with five isonitrogenous (320 g/kg crude protein), isolipidic (70 g/kg crude fat) and isocaloric (17.8 MJ/kg gross energy) diets replacing fishmeal with 0%, 1%, 3%, 5% and 7% CPH, respectively. The control diet contained 60 g/kg fishmeal. Final weight and weight gain of fish fed 5% and 7% CPH were significantly lower than that of fish fed control diet (p < 0.05). 3% CPH significantly increased total protein, globulin, acid phosphatase, C3 and C4 contents of plasma and total‐superoxide dismutase and catalase activities of liver (p < 0.05), as well as upregulated the antimicrobial peptides 1 and 2 (Leap‐1 and Leap‐2) expression levels in liver and spleen (p < 0.05). After challenge, the lowest mortality was observed in fish fed 3% CPH, and it was significantly lower than that in fish fed the 7% CPH (p < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary fishmeal replacement by 3% CPH could increase antioxidative capacity, as well as enhance immunity of fish.
