Effects of dietary fish oil replacement on growth and carcass proximate composition of juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer)

An experiment was carried out to determine the effects of dietary fish oil replacement at an optimal level on the growth and carcass proximate composition of juvenile barramundi or sea bass (Lates calcarifer). Ten fish feeds were formulated to contain iso‐ingredients with theoretically identical dietary lipid levels but with different sources of lipids (fish oil, soybean oil, canola oil and linseed oil) replacing dietary fish oil. Three hundred fish were equally divided into 30 70‐L plastic tanks (three replicate tanks for each treatment). Fish were fed with experimental diets for 40 days within closed recirculating freshwater systems (70 L h^?1, 28°C and 12L:12D). Growth, specific growth rate, food conversion ratio (FCR) and carcass proximate composition were determined. Dietary lipids significantly affected (P<0.05) the growth of the fish. Good growth and low FCR were observed in all treatments. Therefore, fish oils can be partially replaced by vegetable oils to reduce the feed cost. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in lipid, moisture and protein content in fish carcasses among the group. However, juvenile barramundi showed increasing lipid and moisture content in muscle, whereas decreasing protein content when compared to the initial fish.     

Effect of the addition of Chaetoceros calcitrans,Navicula sp. and Phaeodactylum tricornutum (diatoms) on phytoplankton composition and growth of Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone) postlarvae reared in a biofloc system

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of Chaetoceros calcitrans, Navicula sp. and Phaeodactylum tricornutum (diatoms) on phytoplankton composition and the growth of Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae reared in a biofloc system . Four treatments were used: BFT (biofloc system without feed and no addition of diatoms); BFT‐F (biofloc system with feed and no addition of diatoms); BFT‐D (biofloc system with the addition of diatoms and no feed); and BFT‐FD (biofloc system with the addition of feed and diatoms), all in triplicate. The shrimp (16 ± 0.02 mg) were stocked at 2500 postlarvae m^?3 and fed a commercial feed. Diatoms were added on the 1st, 5th, 10th and 15th day at a density of 5 × 10⁴ cells mL^?1 for each species. No significant differences (P > 0.05) between treatments were observed for gross primary production, net ecosystem production and water column respiration rate. However, significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed for nitrite, orthophosphate, alkalinity, final weight, weight gain, yield, feed conversion ratio (FCR), phytoplankton and cyanobacteria composition. The BFT‐FD treatment had better performance parameters for final weight (270 mg), weight gain (254 mg), yield (0.67 Kg m^?3) and FCR (0.61), indicating the benefits of the diatoms C. calcitrans, Navicula sp. and P. tricornutum for decreasing cyanobacteria and improving growth of L. vannamei postlarvae reared in biofloc systems.

在(25.8±1.7)℃条件下,测定了方斑东风螺(5.25±0.53)g在不同时间(7、15、25和40d)饥饿处理后再投饵30d过程中的生长参数、基本营养成分及组织RNA/DNA比值的变化。饥饿状态下,螺体水分含量逐渐上升,第15天时显著高于对照组;脂肪与糖原含量均下降,并分别于饥饿15d、25d时显著低于对照组(P<0.05);而蛋白质含量在不同处理组间无显著性差异(P>0.05);足肌与肝胰脏中RNA/DNA比值均随饥饿时间延长而逐渐降低。恢复生长后,除饥饿40d组含水量显著高于对照组外(P<0.05),该组其余营养成分及其它各组相应指标均恢复至或接近对照组;RNA/DNA比值除在饥饿40d组肝胰脏中仍较低外均接近或显著高于对照组。各组幼螺摄食率(FR)均高于或显著高于对照组(P<0.05),体重增量、食物转化率(FCE)在前3处理组及特殊生长率(SGR)在饥饿7d与25d组均与对照组间无显著差异(P>0.05),而饥饿15d组的SGR显著高于对照组(P<0.05);饥饿40d组尽管FR显著提高,但体重增量、FCE及SGR均显著低于对照组(P<0.05)。结果表明,方斑东风螺幼螺饥饿时主要消耗脂肪与糖原...     

Growth and proximate composition of the Chaetoceros calcitrans f. pumilus under different temperature, salinity and carbon dioxide levels

The marine diatom Chaetoceros calcitrans f. pumilus has been examined for its potential source as live feed in aquaculture. The present study investigated effects of temperature (20, 25 and 30 °C), salinity (25 and 35) and carbon dioxide addition (air+CO₂) on the growth and proximate composition of C. calcitrans under laboratory conditions. The growth and biomass of C. calcitrans were primarily affected by carbon dioxide addition, and to a lesser extent by temperature and salinity. In general, lipid and carbohydrate contents were higher at lower temperatures (20 and 25 °C), while the protein content was unaffected. Carbon dioxide addition increased protein, while lowering carbohydrates, but had no effect on lipid content. Carbohydrates were increased while lipids and protein decreased at the highest salinity (35±0.9). These results should be taken into consideration when evaluating the dietary value of this micro alga for aquaculture.     

Effects of varying dietary docosahexaenoic acid levels on growth,proximate composition and tissue fatty acid profile of juvenile silver pomfrets,Pampus argenteus (Euphrasen, 1788)

This study investigated the effects of varying dietary levels of decosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on growth performance, proximate composition and whole body fatty acid profiles of juvenile silver pomfret, Pampus argenteus. Triplicate groups of fish (30.55 ± 0.08 g) were fed diets containing 5.2%, 9.31% and 13.38% DHA (% of total fatty acids) or 0.85%, 1.52% and 2.18% DHA on dry diet weight for diets 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Survival was not affected by dietary DHA levels. The growth performance and feed utilization parameters of fish fed diets 2 and 3 were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than those fed diet 1, although these parameters in diets 2 and 3 did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). Whole body lipid and fatty acid profiles were influenced by dietary DHA levels. Significantly higher n‐3 fatty acids particularly DHA, DHA:EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid) ratios and n‐3:n‐6 ratios were observed in fish fed diets 2 and 3 compared to those fed diet 1. Better growth performance and higher whole body DHA:EPA (2.31, 2.29) ratios and n‐3:n‐6 ratios (2.17, 2.12) observed in fish fed diets 2 and 3, respectively, suggests that silver pomfret juveniles have a higher requirement for n‐3 fatty acids, notably DHA for optimum growth and survival.     

Quality of farmed salmonids with emphasis on proximate composition, yield and sensory characteristics

Salmonid aquaculture has focused for many years on enhancing the quantity of fish produced. However, optimization of the quality of salmonids may lead to improved consumer acceptance and higher prices for the farmed product. The present review evaluates how the quality of salmonids is affected by parameters such as feed type, level of dietary intake (ration) and growth. Feed composition has a major influence on the proximate composition of salmonids. In particular, whole body lipid as well as the lipid content in the edible fillet is directly related to dietary fat content, while the fatty acid composition of the fish flesh is also strongly influenced by the dietary fatty acid profile. While fish body composition appears to be largely influenced by feed composition, an increase in other parameters such as feed ration and fish size also results in enhanced adipose deposition and decreased water content in the fish body. The protein content, however, remains more or less stable. An increase in fish body lipid content is not necessarily a negative factor, depending upon the processing procedure that follows. However, an increase in body fat content is generally accompanied by a reduction in slaughter yield, owing to an increase in the weight of viscera in relation to body weight. Although salmonid flesh quality with respect to levels of proximate constituents and yield appears to be under the strong influence of feed composition and feed amount, the sensory characteristics, such as odour, flavour, texture, etc., are only governed by these factors to a small degree. Tactics for the rearing of salmonids for specific purposes should therefore take into consideration the fact that the level of proximate constituents in the whole body as well as the fillet are readily manipulated by feed composition and feeding strategies, whereas the sensory parameters are less affected by these variables.     

Effect of environmental factors on the fatty acid profiles and physicochemical composition of oysters (Crassostrea gasar) in Amazon estuarine farming

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of environmental factors on the fatty acid profiles and physicochemical composition of Crassostrea gasar cultured in two locations with differences in salinity and precipitation gradients. The study period was divided into four seasonal divisions—the rainy–dry transition period, the dry season, dry–rainy transition and the rainy season. The salinity, pH and temperature were measured at each site during specimen collection. A total of 712 oyster samples were used for fatty acid profiling and physicochemical analysis. Salinity and precipitation were the environmental parameters that influenced the fatty acid profile and physicochemical characteristics of oysters. C. gasar exhibited excellent values of n3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (DHA, EPA and eicosatrienoic), with a predominance of these acids during periods of higher precipitation. Variations in precipitation and salinity resulted in significant differences in oyster nutritional characteristics. Oysters grown in Amazonian estuaries can be considered nutritious throughout the year, with better conditions during the rainy season.     

Effects of salinity on growth,nutrient composition,fatty acid composition and energy metabolism of Scylla paramamosain during indoor overwintering

Three salinities (4‰, 12‰ and 25‰) were selected to determine the effects of different salinities on the growth, survival, nutrition and energy metabolism of Scylla paramamosain during indoor overwintering. Growth performance (survival rate, condition factor, hepatopancreatic index, weight gain rate and specific growth rate), nutrient composition (ash, moisture, crude fat, crude protein and total nitrogen), fatty acids, energy metabolites (glycogen, glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol and lactic acid) and energy metabolic enzymes (hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase) were measured and calculated. The results showed that S. paramamosain exhibited the best growth and survival at 25‰ and worst at 4‰ after overwintering. In addition to consuming crude fat, excess protein was also broken down to provide energy in the 4‰ and 12‰ groups. The content of unsaturated fatty acids in the 25‰ group was higher after overwintering. Glycogen and glucose consumption and triglycerides, cholesterol and lactic acid production were lowest in the 25‰ group. The activity of hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase was highest in the 4‰ group and lowest in the 25‰ group. The activity of hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase in the hepatopancreas was higher than in the muscle. In conclusion, S. paramamosain uses less energy, has more unsaturated fatty acids and has a higher survival rate at a salinity of 25‰ after overwintering. The results of this study provide helpful information the indoor overwintering S. paramamosain in aquaculture production systems.     

低盐度对泥东风螺(Babylonia lutosa)稚螺生长与存活的影响

采用盐度渐变和突变2种方法试验低盐度对平均体重3.7 mg、平均壳高(2.24±0.24)mm的泥东风螺稚螺生长与存活的影响。结果表明:盐度28时,稚螺的生长速度最快,盐度降到24时,对稚螺的影响并不明显,摄食基本正常,但活力略有降低;变态7 d的泥东风螺稚螺能够适应高于21的低盐环境,存活基本正常,有比较高的成活率,但对其摄食和生长有一定的影响;当盐度突变至18时,泥东风螺稚螺仍能存活,突变至15时,则不能存活;而盐度渐变至15时,稚螺仍可存活;盐度逐渐降低只可扩大泥东风螺稚螺的存活盐度范围,但其对最适生长盐度范围影响有限。     

Influence of different diets on the growth,survival, fecundity and proximate composition of brine shrimp Artemia franciscana (Kellog, 1906)

Artemia franciscana was studied under in vitro conditions, and fed with five different microalgae species, two organic diets and one mixed diet to evaluate the nutritional profile and growth performance. The A. franciscana instar‐I nauplii were stocked at a density of 100 per litre of ground borewell water with a salinity of 70 ppt in a plastic container and the culture continued for 12 days. The A. franciscana was fed with five microalgal species, such as Tetraselmis sp., Chaetoceros sp., Isochrysis sp., Thalassiosira sp. and Nannochloropsis sp., and organic diets of rice bran, soybean meal, and a mixture of Tetraselmis sp. and Chaetoceros sp. with rice bran, giving a total of eight experiments. The growth of A. franciscana was measured by length, and was observed to be the greatest (10,850 μm) in the group that was fed the mixed algae combination, and the lowest (7,290 μm) in the group that was fed Nannochloropsis sp. Among the different treatments, the highest survival value of 76% was seen in the group that was fed Chaetoceros sp. The fecundity was higher in A. franciscana that were fed with algae Chaetoceros sp., while the lower rate was observed with the group that was fed Nannochloropsis sp. Analysis of proximate composition showed increased levels in the animals fed with Chaetoceros sp. (lipid, 19.40%; eicosapentaenoic acid, 6.70 mg; docosahexaenoic acid, 10.20 mg; amino acids: proline, 2.06 μg; histidine, 0.77 μg, arginine, 0.65 μg, glycine, 0.80 μg, glutamic acid, 1.75 μg; threonine, 1.42 μg) and the mixed diet (protein, 58.59%; carbohydrate, 21.30%; amino acids: asparagine, 0.90 μg; serine, 1.65 μg; tryptophan, 1.66 μg; leucine, 1.50 μg; phenylalanine, 1.14 μg; valine, 0.66 μg). All components showed the lowest level in the diet fed with Tetraselmis species. These A. franciscana populations showed better survival, higher fecundity and biochemical profiles when cultured with microalgae Chaetoceros sp. These data are useful to improve A. franciscana culture in aquaculture to produce quality cysts and biomass, especially in feeding larvae of marine species.

Fatty acid and proximate composition of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) muscle with regard to plasma lipids

The composition of tail muscle fatty acids from wild and cultured bluefin tuna reared on a diet based on herring and sardine, along with the plasma lipid profile of the farmed individuals, was determined. The total lipid content of farmed bluefin in this study was 0.922 g/100 g or 3.49 g of saturated fatty acids (SAFA), 4.48 g of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), 2.58 g polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) n‐3 and 0.37 g of PUFA n‐6 fatty acids; for wild specimens, it was 0.920 g/100 g, or 2.85 g of SAFA, 4.82 g of MUFA, 2.78 g PUFA n‐3 and 0.27 g of PUFA n‐6 fatty acids. The major fatty acids in this study were 16:0; 16:1, n‐7; 18:1, n‐9 and DHA 22:6, n‐3 acids. The sum of these major components accounted for more than 57% and 80% of the total fatty acids in all the samples of farmed and wild tuna respectively. No significant differences in the proximate composition were demonstrated between farmed and wild samples, except for the energy value, in favour of the farmed tuna. Statistically, glucose tends to increase together with cholesterol (CHOL) and plasma triglyceride, as for these pairs, it showed positive correlation coefficients and P>0.05. Some measured tuna metabolites demonstrated strong mutual correlations, especially GLU, CHOL and TRIG, which are crucial factors in the lipid profile of animals.     

不同温度和盐度条件对脆江蓠生长及其生化组分的影响

在不同温度（14℃、17℃、20℃、23℃和26℃）和不同盐度（5、10、15、20、25、30和35）条件下培养脆江蓠（Gracilaria chouae）,观察测定其生长及藻体生化组分的变化。试验结果显示,脆江蓠生长的适宜温度为14～26℃,最适温度为17～20℃,在此温度条件下藻体可以保持最快相对生长速率（relative growth rate,RGR）;温度高于20℃时脆江蓠的生长受到抑制。在生长状态、光合色素和抗氧化等方面,脆江蓠对低温的耐受能力要比高温强。脆江蓠生长的适宜盐度为20～35,最适盐度为30,在此盐度条件下藻体可以保持最快RGR,盐度低于20时脆江蓠的生长受到抑制。高盐度培养条件下脆江蓠在生长状态、光合色素和抗氧化等方面强于低盐度培养条件。     

Changes of proximate compositions and myoglobin content in the dorsal ordinary muscles of the cultured Pacific bluefin tuna <Emphasis Type="Italic">Thunnus orientalis</Emphasis> with growth

ABSTRACT:   Using the dorsal ordinary muscle (DOM) of cultured Pacific bluefin tuna (body length [BL]: 47.5–81.8 cm, body weight [BW]: 2.1–13.5 kg, n  = 15), the changes of proximate compositions and myoglobin (Mb) content with growth were investigated. There was a positive correlation ( r  = 0.9832, P  < 0.05) of BL and BW in cultured tuna. The protein contents of the DOM of cultured tuna decreased ( P  < 0.05) and the lipid contents had a tendency to increase (not significantly) with growth. The meat color changed from pink to red with growth. In addition, the Mb contents of the DOM of cultured tuna increased ( P  < 0.05) from 1.0 mg/g (minimum BW fish) to 3.8 mg/g (maximum BW fish) with growth. These results indicate that the increase of the Mb content in the DOM of cultured tuna is not caused by the restriction of exercise and overfeeding between 2.1 kg and 13.5 kg of BW.     

Effects of salinity on the growth and lipid composition of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) cells in culture

The direct effects of osmotic pressure (salinity) on growth performance and lipid composition were investigated in fish cells in culture. Cell lines from a relatively stenohaline marine species, turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) (TF) and an anadromous species, Atlantic salmon (AS) were cultured in media supplemented with NaCl to produce osmotic pressures varying from 300 to 500 mOsm kg⁻¹. The growth rates of the two cell lines were affected in a similar manner by the salinity of the media with the rank order for both peak cell numbers and growth rates up to the day of peak cell number being 300 > 350 > 400 > 450 > 500 mOsm kg⁻¹. Cell death occurred in both cell lines in older cultures at all salinities with the greatest loss of viable cells in media of 300 and 350 kg⁻¹. However, there were quantitative and qualitative differences between the cell lines in their lipid metabolism in response to the salinity of the media. The lipid content expressed per cell showed a positive correlation between lipid per cell and salinity in TF cells, but this was less apparent in AS cells. The percentage of total polar lipid classes increased with increasing salinity in TF cells due mainly to graded increases in the percentages of choline phospholipids. In contrast, there were no significant differences in the proportions of polar and neutral lipid classes with salinity in AS cells. The only significant effect of salinity in AS cells was a decreased proportion of dimethylacetals in total lipid at the highest salinity. The same significant effect of salinity on dimethylacetal content of total lipid was observed in TF cells. However, in addition there was a graded decrease in the percentage of 18:2n-9 in TF cell total lipid with increasing salinity. This was accompanied by increased percentages of total n-3 and n-6 PUFA with higher proportions of both groups of PUFA at 450 and 500 compared with 300 mOsm kg⁻¹. The results show that environmental salinity, in the absence of hormonal or other physiological stimuli, has direct effects on the growth and lipid metabolism of fish cells and that these effects differ in cells from different fish species.     

温度与盐度对方斑东风螺胚胎发育及幼虫生长的影响

在水温14～33℃（盐度34）、盐度18-40（水温25．5-26℃）范围内各设12个梯度，采用突变法进行温、盐度对方斑东风螺[Babylonia areolata（Link）]卵囊孵化及幼虫生长实验。结果显示：（1）方斑东风螺胚胎发育适宜水温为23～31℃，最适水温为25-30℃；适宜盐度为28-38，最适盐度为30～38。在适宜水温和盐度范围内，孵化速度随水温和盐度升高而加快，但以水温的影响效应最明显；温度或盐度超过其适宜范围时，孵化率明显下降或幼虫畸形率明显增大。（2）幼虫适宜水温及最适水温与胚胎发育的基本一致；适宜盐度和最适盐度存在向高盐度延伸的现象，其适宜和最适盐度下限分别为30和32。温盐度超过适宜范围时，死亡率明显增大，生长受到抑制。     

温度和盐度对二种观赏海藻微繁与生长的影响

Effect of different dietary levels of commercial wood charcoal on growth,body composition and environmental loading of red tilapia hybrid

A 60‐day feeding study was performed to evaluate the role of dietary commercial wood charcoal (CWC) in fish growth performance, body composition and water quality of fingerlings red tilapias (Oreochromis mossambicus × Oreochromis niloticus). Four levels of charcoal (10, 20, 30 and 40 g kg^?1) were added to the control diet (0 g kg^?1 CWC) and fed to red tilapias (initial weight of 1.20 ± 0.04 g). At the end of the feeding trial, the fish weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio and energy retention of the fish groups fed 30 and 40 g kg^?1 (CWC) in diet were significantly (P < 0.05) higher comparing with all other tested fish groups. Moreover, some proximate composition such as crude protein and nitrogen retention efficiency g kg^?1 of the fish groups fed on 30 and 40 g kg^?1 CWC diets showed higher values (P < 0.05) than those of other tested fish groups (0, 10 and 20 g kg^?1 CWC). Apparent digestibility coefficients of protein and dry matter were improved (P < 0.05) in CWC‐tested fish groups compared to the control fish group. These data were powered by the data of the water quality that showed significant (P < 0.05) enhancement in both dissolved oxygen and ammonia concentrations by the increment in dietary charcoal levels. The above‐mentioned parameters' data suggested that 30 g kg^?1 dietary CWC can be considered as a suitable level to maintain normal growth of red tilapia juveniles as well as to enhance water quality of the rearing area.     

低盐度胁迫不同时间对褐牙鲆幼鱼生长的影响

将驯养于海水盐度为19的褐牙鲆（Paralichthys olivaceus）幼鱼放入盐度为5的海水中胁迫0周（对照）、1周、2周、3周和4周后,立即将海水盐度调节至19,养殖到第10周,观察幼鱼的生长情况。研究发现,低盐度海水养殖的褐牙鲆幼鱼体质量仅在低盐胁迫的第1周内显著小于对照组,不同处理的日生长系数在第3周与第5周呈现显著性差异,其余时间阶段内不同处理的体质量和日生长系数未见显著差异。胁迫阶段褐牙鲆幼鱼摄食率整体上略低于对照处理,但恢复阶段摄食率未出现大于对照处理的一致趋势。整个试验期间经低盐度处理的褐牙鲆幼鱼饲料转化效率略大于对照处理。试验结果显示,低盐度5对褐牙鲆幼鱼的生长没有产生长期影响,也不能通过较长时间的低盐度养殖引起褐牙鲆幼鱼的补偿生长效应。
