The Effect of Thermal Treatment Method on Fatty Acid Composition in Northern Pike (Esox lucius) Fillets

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of thermal treatment methods, such as microwave cooking, steaming, and shallow pan-frying on fatty acids composition in northern pike fillets. All methods of thermal treatment increased fat content in the fillets. Microwave cooking decreased the proportion of saturated fatty acids and increased the proportion of total, n-3, and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids as compared with fresh fillets. Steam cooking did not affect the proportion of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, whereas pan-frying significantly increased the proportion of monounsaturated and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. All cooked fillets, regardless of the thermal treatment used, had acceptable n–6/n–3 ratio; however, microwave cooking enabled fish products to obtain more beneficial n-6/n-3 ratio than frying. Due to high polyunsaturated fatty acids content and low n-6/n-3 ratio, microwave cooking may be recommended for preparing wild pike fillets in households.

Fatty Acid Composition of Muscle,Liver, and Adipose Tissue of Freshwater Fish from Lake Victoria,Uganda

Fish oils may differ in fatty acid (FA) composition depending on diet. Oils extracted from muscle, liver, and adipose tissue of Nile perch (Lates niloticus), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), silver fish (Rastrineobola argentea), lungfish (Protopterus aethiopicus), Victoria squeaker (Synodontis victoriae), and two catfishes (Clarias gariepinus and Bagrus docmac) from Lake Victoria, a tropical freshwater lake, were evaluated for FA composition. Oil contents of muscles, livers, and adipose tissues were in the range of 3.16 to 13.8%, 3.62 to 53.4%, and 28.8 to 42.4%, respectively. Omega-3 polyunsaturated FA, particularly alpha-linolenic (ALA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA), docosapentaenoic (DPA), and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, were found to be in substantial amounts in oils from all seven fish species. Ratios of polyunsaturated FA to saturated FA (0.79 to 1.18) were in the range considered adequate for normal health. Overall, the results show that the fish species studied are a rich source of omega-3 polyunsaturated FA.     

Efficiency of Northern pike (Esox lucius) stocking in metropolitan France at large spatial and temporal scales

Stocking and electrofishing occurrence and abundance data for northern pike Esox lucius L. in >3800 km of French rivers across 7 years were compared to assess the effect of recreational fisheries stocking programmes on wild pike populations. A positive relationship was found between the additive effect of stocking and the size of the stocked pike. However, the stocking programmes implemented in France by recreational fishery managers from 2008 to 2013 increased the probability of pike occurring in the river network, without increasing abundance in well-established pike populations, because pike stocked in their early-life stages were used in most of the stocking programmes.     

The Composition of Northern Pike (Esox lucius L.) Populations in Four Shallow Waters in the Netherlands, with Special Reference to Factors Influencing 0+ Pike Biomass

The composition and abundance of Northern pike (Esox lucius L.) populations in four shallow waters was monitored during a 4–5 year period, using mark-recapture methods. In general, the populations were sampled by using a combination of fishing gear but pike that completed their first growing season (0+ pike) are captured quantitatively by electrofishing (3 kw, DC) exclusively. Within the length range of 0–54 cm fork length, the biomasses of 0+ pike appeared to be negatively correlated with those of larger pike. It is suggested that intraspecific predation is mainly responsible for these relations. The standing stock of <54-cm pike was found to be determined by the amount of aquatic vegetation and more especially so if the different habitat preference of 0+ pike, 0+ < pike < 41 cm and 41 cm ≤ pike < 54 cm was taken into account.     

乌伦古湖白斑狗鱼摄食生态的初步研究

2007年4月至2008年9月对乌伦古湖153尾白斑狗鱼,进行食性研究.结果表明,白斑狗鱼的食物组成包括池沼公鱼、湖拟鲤、东方欧鳊、银鲫、贝加尔雅罗鱼、粘鲈、麦穗鱼、尖鳍鮈、北方花鳅、北方须鳅、中华绒鳌蟹、摇蚊幼虫、水生昆虫共12种饵料生物,主要以池沼公鱼(IRI=88.44%)、湖拟鲤(IRI=6.66%)和银鲫(IRI%=2.57%)为主.白斑狗鱼除繁殖期外,其他月份摄食率都很高,繁殖期过后5月中旬摄食率达到65%,8月份达到68%,冬季封冰下达到66.7%.白斑狗鱼平均饱满指数变化较大,其变化幅度在0.0016～0.2286之间.Shannon-Wiener多样性指数H' 5月份最小为0.5128,8月份最大为1.9863.Pielou均匀度指数J' 5月份最小为0.4668,8月份最大为0.7993.8月份白斑狗鱼食物Pielou均匀度指数J' 均高于5月份.     

Effects of Injection of Protein Solutions Prepared from Fish By-products on Yield and Chemical Properties of Chilled and Frozen Saithe (Pollachius virens) Fillets

Fish gelatine and protein solutions prepared from saithe by-products were injected into saithe fillets. Effects on weight changes, water holding capacity, and chemical composition of the fillets were investigated after chilled (2, 5, and 7 days) and frozen (14 and 49 days) storage. The results showed that higher weight yields were obtained by adding proteins and salt to the fillets in comparison with only salt, especially in chilled fillets. The drawback of the injection was that higher drip losses were found during storage and thawing than for untreated fillets. Effects of injection on water content were only significant after 2 days of chilled storage, but differences leveled out after longer storage time and with freezing and thawing of the fillets. The procedure applied in this study seems to be promising for utilization of by-products such as trimmings as an ingredient in higher value products like fillets, in comparison to mince products.     

Spatiotemporal ecology of juvenile Muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) and Northern Pike (Esox lucius) in upper St. Lawrence River nursery bays during their inaugural fall and winter

Understanding the spatial ecology of juvenile freshwater fish beyond summer months is an essential component of their life history puzzle. To this end, declines in the natural populations of sympatric Muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) and Northern Pike (Esox lucius) in the upper St. Lawrence River prompted study of spatiotemporal patterns and habitat requirements associated with earlier life stages of these congeneric, freshwater predators in fall and overwinter periods. Over 75 age-0 esocids were tagged and passively monitored using acoustic telemetry in four nursery embayments in fall and winter months from 2015 and 2017 months to elucidate spatiotemporal ecology and test hypotheses related to emigration. Presence, residency, space and habitat use were assessed and modelled against key environmental (i.e. water temperature and level) and biological (total length) covariates using mixed effect models. Muskellunge were found to spend more time in deeper, littoral regions with canopy-forming, submerged aquatic vegetation while Northern Pike aggregated in the deepest, highly vegetated region of their nursery embayment. Results suggest fish may exhibit transitionary movements in fall months and may span outwards into nearshore regions along the main river channel. Studies informing coastal restoration initiatives to increase Muskellunge production are encouraged to assess sympatric habitat use relative to prominent embayment structures and further explore depth partitioning by these young predators. With a substantial influence from water-level regulation on use of nursery habitat, future studies must work in concert with management plans aimed at producing more natural riverine cycles and thus increased recruitment of Esox species.     

Fatty Acid Composition and Oxidative Stability of Fish Oil Products in Turkish Retail Market

The fatty acid composition and oxidative stability of fish oil and syrups available in the Turkish retail market were examined in this study. The major saturated fatty acids in capsules and syrups were palmitic acid (16:0) and stearic acid (18:0). The monounsaturated fatty acid contents of fish oil products have very different results (10.71–50.46%). The results show that the label claims for total omega-3, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid presented a reasonable accuracy for the examined products, but it was noted that some of the results showed a considerable difference with the labels.

The free fatty acid level in fish oil products was generally low (0.13–1.95% of oleic acid). Peroxide value of all examined products was below the limit of 10 meq kg^?1 oils for edible oil as indicated in Codex (1999). It was detected that the p-Anisidine value of fish oil capsules (5.36–8.90) was considerably lower than for fish oil syrups (21.86–26.74). According to our results, the totox value of fish oil capsules evaluated in this study (7.08–17.35) was within acceptable limits. However, fish oil syrups (34.72–38.06) highly exceeded the upper tolerable limit (26).     

Quality and Shelf Life Assessment of Puffer Fish (Lagocephalus guentheri) Fillets during Chilled Storage

The aim of the study was to quantify the shelf life and quality characteristics of puffer fish, Lagocephalus guentheri, fillets on chilled storage at 2 ± 1°C. The puffer fish muscle contains 16.14% protein, 80.76% moisture, 0.99% ash, and 0.17% fat. The mouse bioassay proved the absence of tetradotoxin in muscle, liver, skin, and gonads of the fish. The polyunsaturated fatty acid to saturated fatty acid (P/S) ratio of puffer fish was found to be 1.3, with n-3 to n-6 ratio of 3.27. The puffer fish had hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic ratio (H/H) value of 2.68, artherogenicity index of 0.43, and thrombogenicity index of 0.29. Beheaded and deskinned fishes were filleted and were studied for 10 days of chilled storage. The physical, chemical, sensory, and microbiological parameters showed significant (p < 0.05) changes during the entire storage period. While the hydrolytic rancidity was significantly correlated to springiness, gumminess, and chewiness of fillets, the peroxide value (PV) correlated with the color attributes and pH. The hardness of the samples decreased significantly and was evident in both sensory and instrumental analysis. With storage time, the yellowness of the fillets increased steadily. The results of this study can help in improving processing, preservation, and marketing aspects and enhance the utility of puffer fish.     

Seasonal Changes in Quality and Fatty Acid Composition of Black Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis)

The study was designed to assess the seasonal variations in the quality and lipid profile of mussel meat (Mytilus galloprovincialis) harvested along the Bulgarian coast of the Black Sea. The trial period lasted from June to October, and the sampling was carried out in the area of Varna Bay. Technological quality of the mussels was determined by measuring the water holding capacity (WHC) and cooking and roasting losses. Proximate composition, total aerobic plate count, and fatty acid analysis were carried out. Technological parameters and nutritional quality of the mussel meat were strongly affected by the season. During the summer, the mussels had higher mass, meat content, and meat yield (p < 0.001) compared to the early autumn, which corresponds to the lowest protein content during this season. Lipid profile showed seasonal variations in both individual and total fatty acid amounts (p < 0.001). Saturated fatty acids (SFA) had the highest content in summer, while monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) decreased gradually until the autumn. The content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) reached its peak in October, contributing to the most favorable values of the nutritional indices of lipids in the early autumn.     

The Effect of Culture System on Proximate Composition and Amino and Fatty Acid Profiles of Peled Coregonus peled Fillets

Proximate composition and amino and fatty acid profiles of peled fillets of both sexes reared in a pond-based system (PS) and intensively cultured in a recirculating aquaculture system (RS) were compared. Significantly higher values of dry matter, fat, and caloric value were found in RS fish, irrespective of sex. Fish from the PS group showed a higher percentage of saturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) than those of the RS group. Percentages of n-3 PUFA were lower in the RS group compared to the PS group, while percentages of n-6 PUFA were higher in RS, irrespective of sex. The ratio of n-3:n-6 PUFA was significantly higher for the RS group. Fillets of the PS group showed significantly higher EPA and DHA percentages compared to RS fish. Significant differences were found in amino acid profile, with the PS group showing higher content, especially of serine, glutamic acid, methionine, leucine, and lysine.     

脂质对中华花龟不同组织脂肪酸组成的影响

将体质量(1828±468)g的4龄雌性成体中华花龟随机分成4组,常温饲养在150cm×50cm×50cm的水池中,每组6只,分别投喂饲料中鱼油为豆油替代0%、33.3%、66.7%和100%的饲料,每周投喂2次。饲养1年后,从每组中随机取6只中华花龟,检测肝脏、肌肉、卵巢中脂肪酸的组成。试验结果表明,饲料中鱼油比例较高(豆油替代0%和33.3%鱼油组)能促进肝脏和肌肉中二十碳五烯酸和二十二碳六烯酸的积累,但豆油替代率对卵巢二十碳五烯酸和二十二碳六烯酸的积累影响不显著。饲料中花生四烯酸在肌肉和卵巢中大量累积,豆油替代33.3%鱼油组肌肉和豆油替代0%鱼油组卵巢中花生四烯酸占总脂肪酸的含量[(5.26±0.94)%、(1.31±0.04%)]最高,肝脏中花生四烯酸积累较少。豆油替代66.7%和100%鱼油组肝脏中亚油酸含量显著高于其他两组(P0.05),豆油替代100%鱼油组卵巢中亚麻酸含量最高(P0.05)。饲料中豆油替代鱼油比例升高促进了中华花龟组织中亚油酸和亚麻酸的积累,抑制了二十碳五烯酸、二十二碳六烯酸和花生四烯酸等的积累;当豆油替代33.3%鱼油时,中华花龟肝脏、肌肉、卵巢中脂肪酸组成及含量与全鱼油组差异不显著。     

Comparison of Proximate Composition and Fatty Acid Profile of On-Growing and Wild Mediterranean Horse Mackerel (Trachurus mediterraneus)

ABSTRACT

On-growing of horse mackerel is not known in the world. Recently, we have initiated on-growing of the Mediterranean horse mackerel in the Black Sea. Therefore, we aim to compare proximate composition and fatty acid profile of on-growing and wild horse mackerels to evaluate the effect on their nutritional value. Captured horse mackerels less than 13 cm were kept on-growing in sea cages and fed sea bass feed for a year in the southern Turkish Black Sea. Results showed seasonal variations in the proximate contents and fatty acid profile of both on-growing and wild fish groups (p < 0.05). Protein contents of the wild horse mackerel group were significantly higher than the on-growing mackerel group, while the opposite situation was observed for lipid contents (p < 0.05). Despite higher eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels (as fatty acid methyl esters %) of wild horse mackerel in comparison with on-growing group, much higher EPA + DHA contents were accounted for in on-growing fish in the edible portion resulting from higher lipid contents of these samples. The results suggest that lower amounts of fish meat, 50–90 g, from on-growing mackerel would cover the daily suggested value of EPA + DHA; this level is calculated as 51–150 g for wild fish meat.     

Effects of Frying-Chilling-Reheating on the Lipid Content and Fatty Acid Composition of Cultured Sturgeon (Huso huso,Beluga) Fillets

Slices of Huso huso were fried, chilled, and then reheated to evaluate for the changes in lipid characteristics. The total lipid content of raw sample was 3.09 g/100 g which consists of 29.1 g/100 g saturated fatty acids (SFAs), 42.554 g/100 g monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), and 28.126 g/100 g polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). In fried samples, levels of C18 fatty acid groups, MUFAs, PUFAs, and n6/n3 ratio increased while SFAs, EPA, and DHA content decreased. Upon chill storage, C18:2 fatty acid and n6/n3 ratio decreased while n3 fatty acids increased slightly. Free fatty acid (FFA) decreased after frying, but peroxide value (PV) increased with subsequent decrease at chilled condition.     

Proximate Composition and Nutritional Profile of the Black Sea Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicholus) Whole Fish,Fillets, and By-Products

ABSTRACT

In this study, the proximate composition and nutritional profile of the Black Sea anchovy and its by-products were investigated. The total yield of by-products from anchovy was about 32% of the whole fish based on wet weight. The protein and fat contents of anchovy by-products were 13.39 and 10.02% for head, 16.47 and 15.50% for frame, and 12.05 and 23.90% for viscera, respectively. Significant differences were detected among the pH and color properties of anchovy whole fish, fillet, and by-products. Profiles of amino acids, fatty acids, and minerals of anchovy by-products showed they are rich sources of lysine (6–7% of total amino acids), leucine (5–6% of total amino acids), and a number of essential amino acid, polyunsaturated fatty acids (about 32–40% of total fatty acids), n-3 fatty acids (about 27–34% of total fatty acids), eicosapentaenoic acid + docosahexaenoic acid (about 26–32% of total fatty acids), and various minerals (P, Fe, Ni, Ca, Mn, Na, and Zn). These results revealed that anchovy by-products can be utilized for the production of value-added products such as protein powder, protein hydrolyzates, fish oils, and mineral supplements.

The Variations in Proximate Chemical Composition and Fatty Acid Profile in Different Parts of the Thornback Ray (Raja clavata) Caught from Black Sea,Turkey

Proximate chemical composition and fatty acid (FA) profile of different parts and sexes of ray (Raja clavata) were compared. The proximate values of liver samples significantly differed from other body parts (p < 0.05). Pectoral fin had the highest moisture, protein, and ash contents (78.6, 20.5, and 1.2%, respectively). The highest fat content (39.7%) was observed for liver samples. A significant variation was also observed between sexes in terms of proximate and FA values (p < 0.05). The levels of saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) varied between 27.1–32.1, 14.9–19.0, and 34.3–39.5%, respectively, in total fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). The highest total PUFA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) values were observed in the edible portion of liver for both sexes due to high contents of fat, despite the low values of % total FAME in comparison with other body parts. Significant variations among FA levels were observed for different body parts (p < 0.05). The highest DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) values were found in the edible portion of the liver and calculated as 6.8 and 2.3 g/100 g, respectively, indicating the importance of utilizing the liver of this species.     

Changing of fat content and fatty acid profile of reared pike (Esox lucius) fed two different diets

Fat content and fatty acid profile of two pike yearling groups grown on two different diets were compared. The groups originated from culture on artificial feed. One group (cultured pike fed first pellet then prey‐fish (PF)) was fed with natural food, live prey‐fish, while the other one (cultured pike fed exclusively pellet (PP)) by trout feed through a 3‐month experimental period. Growth of pike was lower with PP than with PF. The trout feed resulted in an increase of the fat content of fillet and the formation of abdominal fat depots. Feeding of natural food decreased the fat content. The proportion of the saturated fatty acids in fillet was higher in the (PF) group. The n‐6 fatty acids (arachidonic C20:4n‐6 and docosatetraenic C22:4n‐6 acids) were lowest in PP‐fed pike. Regarding total n‐3 fatty acids ratio there was no significant difference between the groups, but the level of α‐linolenic (C:18:3n‐3) acid showed significant difference among groups.     

Proximate,Fatty Acid,and Amino Acid Compositions of Fish Muscle and Egg Tissue of Hilsa (Tenualosa) ilisha

The total lipid profile including the fatty acid composition and amino acid composition in eggs of Hilsa (Tenualosa) ilisha was studied in comparison with its muscle tissue. The eggs contained 30.4% lipid (on dry basis), which was 1.2 times higher than that of the muscle tissue lipid. The major portion of the egg lipid was composed of wax ester (about 47.6%) followed by triacylglycerol (TAG), phospholipid (PL), and cholesterol. The muscle tissue lipid contained TAG as the major fraction (41.8 ± 1.48%). Total amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) was about 43 ± 0.05% and 32.4 ± 0.24% in egg PL and body tissue PL fractions, respectively. Among fatty alcohols of egg wax ester, 16:0 alcohol is predominant (56.4 ± 3.02%). Both the egg and muscle tissues are rich in all essential amino acids. The results indicate that muscle and eggs from Hilsa are rich in essential amino acids, PUFA, and phospholipids which are essential for human health and membrane development.
