Ontogeny of the digestive tract in mud loach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus larvae

This study on histological and mucous histochemistry characteristics of the digestive system of loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) was carried out from hatching (0 day after hatching, DAH) until 45 DAH. The peculiar development of both digestion processes and air‐breathing functions of the intestine was revealed. At 3 DAH, both the mouth and anus opened along with the first feed. At 4 DAH, lipid vacuoles appeared in the anterior part of the intestine and at 5 DAH the acidophilic supranuclear vacuoles appeared in the posterior part of the intestine. Mucous cells occurred in the buccopharynx and oesophagus after mouth opening and grew both in number and size as larvae grew. At 15 DAH, blood capillaries were found in the posterior part of the intestine. At 20 DAH, as a valve appeared in the intestine, the whole intestine could be divided into anterior, mid and posterior parts. With large numbers of blood capillaries and a very thin wall, a gas–blood barrier formed in the posterior intestine, which indicated that the dual roles of intestine were formed. These results suggested that the air‐breathing function of the digestive tract formed from 15 to 20 DAH, which is a critical period for loach larvae.     

圆斑星鲽仔鱼变态前消化系统发生的形态学和组织学研究

对初始孵化到孵化后26d（变态前）的圆斑星鲽（Verasper vazriegatus Temminck et Schlegel）仔鱼的消化系统发生进行形态学和组织学研究。研究表明，在水温为12．5～15．5℃时，初始孵化仔鱼消化道细而直，两端封闭，位于卵黄囊背方。随着仔鱼发育，消化道延长，肝胰脏出现。孵化后6d，仔鱼开口，消化道贯通，开始摄食。孵化后10d，消化道明显分为口咽腔、食道、胃、小肠、直肠，黏膜上皮褶皱增多。孵化后14d，卵黄囊消失，仔鱼完全依靠外源性营养。孵化后26d，胃壁较厚处出现胃腺，但不发达，幽门盲囊尚未出现。由结果可见，孵化后6d仔鱼开口，可开始投喂轮虫；孵化后26d，消化系统的结构和功能逐渐完善，消化吸收能力增强，但由于胃的结构和功能尚不完善，此阶段还应以活体饵料为主，一方面可逐渐加大轮虫的投喂量，另一方面可适当投喂较大的卤虫无节幼体等。本研究旨为圆斑星鲽人工育苗中饵料种类及投喂时间的选择提供理论依据。

延迟首次投喂对胭脂鱼仔鱼生长、摄食及消化酶活性的影响

在水温(19±0.5)℃条件下,为研究不同饥饿时间对胭脂鱼仔鱼生长、摄食及消化酶活性的影响,设定两个实验:实验一,设置完全饥饿组(S)和正常摄食组(C);实验二,设置延迟0(对照组)、1、3、5、7、9和11 d投喂组,分别记作D0、D1、D3、D5、D7、D9和D11。实验历时29 d。结果显示:(1)孵化后7 d胭脂鱼仔鱼初次摄食,14 d时卵黄物质耗尽,27 d进入不可逆点期(PNR),在抵近PNR时,胸角特征明显,死亡率显著增加;(2)恢复摄食后,D1和D3组仔鱼体质量与D0组无显著差异,表现出完全补偿生长效应;(3)在饥饿1～7 d过程中,胭脂鱼仔鱼的胰蛋白酶和淀粉酶活性显著下降(P<0.05),随着饥饿时间的延长,饥饿9～11 d仔鱼的胰蛋白酶和脂肪酶活性显著上升。恢复摄食后19日龄时,胰蛋白酶活性随饥饿时间的延长呈先上升后下降的趋势,但淀粉酶活性与其相反,呈先降后升的趋势;29日龄时,随饥饿时间的延长脂肪酶和淀粉酶活性均呈显著上升趋势。 结果表明,饥饿会导致胭脂鱼仔鱼的生长、摄食和消化酶活性产生明显的变化,其补偿生长随饥饿时间的不同而不同;在恢复摄食后,不同饥饿程度仔鱼在不同恢复时间消化酶恢复策略并不一致,饥饿时间越长越倾向于对碳水化合物的利用,但其内在机制有待进一步研究。     

Growth performance,survival and body composition of southern flounder Paralichthys lethostigma larvae fed different formulated microdiets

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of micro‐bound diets (MBD) on southern flounder larvae. In experiment 1, four MBDs were formulated with different protein sources as follows: MBD 1: herring meal, MBD 2: menhaden meal, MBD 3: menhaden and squid meal; MBD 4: menhaden, squid and herring meal. In experiment 2, four MBDs were formulated as follows: MBD 5: menhaden, squid and herring meal; MBD 6: menhaden, squid, herring and attractants; MBD 7: menhaden, squid, herring and casein, and MBD 8: menhaden, squid, herring, casein and attractants. In experiment 3, three groups were maintained as follows: Group 1: live feed; Group 2: co‐fed with MBD 6; and Group 3: MBD 6. In experiment 1 on 35 dph, survival and body weight (BW) of the fish fed MBD 4 was significantly higher than the MBDs 1 and 2. In experiment 2 on 34 dph, fish fed MBD 6 had significantly higher BW than the commercial microdiets. In experiment 3 on 21 dph, fish receiving only MBD had significantly lower survival than the other groups. Growth, survival and larval fatty acid composition suggested that co‐feeding MBD 6, a mixture of marine protein sources plus attractants was more effective than the other MBDs.     

Development and distribution of intestinal enzymatic activity in Paralabrax maculatofasciatus (Steindachner, 1868) larvae fed with live prey

We describe the development and distribution of intestinal aminopeptidase M, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV, non-specific esterase, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase, using enzyme histochemistry techniques, in the spotted sand bass larvae ( Paralabrax maculatofasciatus ) under culture conditions. All digestive enzymes tested showed a positive reaction from first feeding (day 2) and throughout the study period (day 30). At first feeding, the main enzymatic activity was in the mucosa throughout the intestines. Later, enzymatic activity occurred in the liver, kidney and stomach. All enzymatic activities increased from days 15 to 20, remaining constant until the end of the study. This enzymatic activity suggests the onset of maturation of the digestive tract. After day 20, a positive reaction was recorded in the pyloric caeca for all tested enzymatic activities. Our study confirms the digestive and absorptive functions in the intestines in spotted sand bass larvae from first feeding. It also brings new insight to establish an early weaning strategy during cultivation of spotted sand bass larvae.     

中国龙虾早期叶状幼体消化道的组织结构观察

利用光镜和电镜对中国龙虾叶状幼体发育早期(Ⅰ～Ⅳ期)消化道的组织学、组织化学和超微结构进行了研究。消化道可分为前肠、中肠和后肠。前肠包括口、食道和胃。消化道壁由粘膜层、结缔组织层、肌肉层和外膜组成。除中肠外,其余消化管壁上皮均覆盖有几丁质层。消化道结构随幼体发育逐渐复杂化。口部的口器发达。食道壁内褶形成四个食道嵴。贲门胃的结构简单,至Ⅳ期幼体只有胃磨齿的雏形;幽门胃内具有由栉状刚毛组成的腺滤器,其结构与过滤功能逐渐完善。中肠上皮细胞具微绒毛,胞质中富含胞器。后肠有六个纵嵴。各段管壁上皮细胞内的胞器以线粒体与内质网居多。在各期幼体消化道中,几丁质层具较多的多糖类物质,中肠上皮细胞含少量糖原;肌细胞内含丰富蛋白质,幽门胃与中肠上皮的含量次之。还探讨了龙虾幼体消化道的结构与功能的关系。     

Histological and histochemical changes in the digestive tract of white sturgeon larvae during ontogeny

Ontogenetic changes in digestive tract histology and digestive enzyme histochemistry were investigated 11 to 36 days post-hatch in white sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus larvae. From initiation of exogenous feeding (12 days post-hatch), larvae were fed a commercial salmonid diet for the ensuing 24 days. The digestive system of white sturgeon displayed a high degree of morphologic organization and functionality at the onset of exogenous feeding. An enhancement of digestive capacities occurred with transition to active feeding. On day 2 of feeding, there was a clear increase of alkaline phosphatase, aminopeptidase M, dipeptidyl peptidase IV, and -glutamyl transpeptidase activity in the brush border of the spiral intestine. This strong activity is an apparent confirmation of the importance of this segment of the intestine for protein digestion and nutrient absorption. The functional development of the pyloric intestine occurred on day 4 and was concomitant with an increase in the activity of brush border and cytoplasmic enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase, dipeptidyl peptidase II, - and -galactosidases. The absence of acetylcholinesterase, lactase, nonspecific esterase, and weak activity of exopeptidases and alkaline phosphatase in the anterior intestine suggests that this segment of the intestine may be less important in nutrient absorption than the pyloric and spiral intestines. The observed quantitative and qualitative differences in enzyme activity along the intestine indicate a high degree of specialization of each segment for specific digestive and absorptive processes.     

Weaning of Atlantic halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus L. using formulated diets with various levels of ascorbic acid

Atlantic halibut larvae (120 mg) were weaned to formulated diets with different supplementations of ascorbate- poly-phosphate, ApP (300, 2000 and 3000 mg ascorbic acid (AA) equivalents kg⁻¹ diet). The experiment lasted for 50 days with cofeeding of enriched Artemia and formulated diets during the first 30 days. During the last 20 days, only formulated diets were offered to the fish. One control group was fed only Artemia (770 mg AA kg⁻¹ dry weight) during the entire experimental period. The specific growth rate during the 50 days was ≈ 4.5% day⁻¹ and the mean weights in all dietary groups were ≈ 1 g when the experiment was terminated. No differences in mean weight and mortality were observed between the groups fed formulated diets and that fed Artemia during the experiment. The fish size in the groups fed formulated diets ranged between 0.10 and 3.05 g and this differed from the Artemia group where the size ranged between 0.35 and 1.35 g. Dietary levels of ApP had no positive effect on growth and survival. The retention of AA was significantly higher in the groups fed high dietary levels of ApP. Apparently, the bioavailability of high dietary levels of ApP appeared to be low for young halibut. After stressing the fish using a high-salinity challenge test, no significant difference in survival occurred among the dietary groups. Cortisol levels in plasma recorded 3 h post stress was significant lower in the Artemia group compared with the groups fed the formulated diets.     

The effect of different diets on the growth and mortality of juvenile pikeperch (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Sander lucioperca</Emphasis>) in the transition from live food to formulated feed

The efficiencies of four feeding methods were compared in the transition period from live food to dry feed in pikeperch (Sander lucioperca). Pond-nursed fry were trained to artificial feed without a transition (Group P) and with a transition, using a combination of dry feed and different kinds of live food—Chironomus larvae (Group C), Tubifex (Group T) and Daphnia (Group D)—during a 12-day-long trial. The ratio of dry feed for the transition groups was increased from 0 to 100% in 3-day intervals. The highest specific growth rates and condition factors were detected for Group C (4.2%, 1.46 ± 0.5) and Group T (4.2%, 1.48 ± 0.6), respectively. The survival percentages of the groups were as follows: 86.7 ± 9% (Group C), 78 ± 4% (Group T), 52 ± 1.4% (Group D) and 41 ± 9% (Group P). The rate of cannibalism ranged between 6.3 and 13.7% during the transition period. Larger-sized fish seemed to learn more rapidly to accept dry feed than their smaller counterparts.     

日本鳗鲡仔鱼的开口饵料和行为特征

在连续多年日本鳗鲡人工繁殖实验的基础上,研究了不同饵料对日本鳗鲡仔鱼存活率的影响,并记录了仔鱼的运动特征和摄食行为。结果显示,与对照组(不投饵)相比,投喂以鲨鱼卵、磷虾提取液为基础的饵料和以鲨鱼卵、海蜇匀浆液为基础的饵料以及微绿球藻液均提高了日本鳗鲡仔鱼的存活率,仔鱼发育至柳叶鳗前期阶段;而投喂以鲨鱼卵、卤虫匀浆液为基础的饵料和以卤虫匀浆液、磷虾提取液为基础的饵料,以及轮虫、海带+龙须菜匀浆液或海蜇以及发酵鲨鱼肉,均降低日本鳗鲡仔鱼的存活率。实验同时还研究了日本鳗鲡仔鱼的主动摄食行为,摄食时仔鱼先用吻端反复多次触碰食物,然后张开下颌咬食,证实了日本鳗鲡早期仔鱼的摄食方式是触碰后咬食。     

Rearing zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae without live food: evaluation of a commercial, a practical and a purified starter diet on larval performance

Owing to the increasing importance of zebrafish as a vertebrate model in many fields of research, efforts must be made to breed and maintain this species in laboratory. Zebrafish larvae are traditionally reared on cultured live paramecia during the first 9 days of exogenous feeding, followed by a combination of paramecia and artemia nauplii until day 21, making larval rearing expensive, labour intensive and unpredictable. Thus, a trial was conducted with zebrafish larvae in order to evaluate the suitability of artificial diets as an alternative to live food during the first 21 days of exogenous feeding. Five dietary treatments were tested: (1) artemia nauplii; (2) a commercial; (3) a purified; (4) a practical diet, all delivered continuously; (5) the same practical diet delivered manually. The best overall larval performance was achieved in the group fed artemia nauplii (86% survival, 14.3 mm standard length, 46.1 mg wet weight). Compared with existing results obtained with the traditional live food schedule, our results suggest that paramecia might not be the most suitable first food for zebrafish, and that artemia nauplii could be used as the only live food. The present work demonstrates that zebrafish larvae can be reared without live food with a significant growth and a high survival, provided that an appropriate artificial diet is presented in a continuous way. Among the diets tested, the practical diet, if continuously delivered, led to the best performance assuring a mean standard length of 72% of that obtained with artemia and a similar survival rate. Moreover, the purified diet, supporting over 50% survival and an appreciable growth, could be useful in some toxicological studies in which a well‐defined diet is needed.     

Post-prandial protease activity in the digestive tract of African catfish Clarias gariepinus larvae fed decapsulated cysts of Artemia

The alkaline proteolytic activity in the gut of African catfish larvae was studied during short time ranges from 30 min to 4 h after ingestion of decapsulated Artemia cysts. The variation in total protease and trypsin activities during the day was monitored during starvation, after one single meal ingestion, and during continuous feeding. In starved larvae the enzymatic activity was low and did not change in time. No significant endogenous secretion of digestive enzymes was detected. The level of alkaline proteolytic activity found in starved larvae was further considered as the basal level. In larvae fed only one meal during the day, the enzyme activity significantly increased from 3 h post-feeding up to a maximum level found 12 h after feeding. In the larvae receiving a meal every 4 h, the effect of feeding on the proteolytic activity was significantly different from the one in fish fed only once a day. The total protease activity in this dietary treatment changed according to the time of feeding and fluctuated around a constant level, which was intermediate between the maximum and the basal level. No rhythmic cycle of enzyme production in the fish was observed when the proteolytic activity was studied during a cycle of 24 h. When specific trypsin activity was measured, a similar pattern was found as with the total protease. The contribution of digestive enzymes from Artemia to the total digestion of food by the catfish larvae was calculated to be less than 1% of the total amount of the proteolytic activity measured in the larval gut.     

Three different lipid sources in formulated start-feeds for turbot (Scophthalmus maximus, L.) larvae – effect on growth and mitochondrial alteration in enterocytes

Turbot, Scophthalmus maximus, larvae were start‐fed with formulated feeds containing soya phospholipids (SP), marine phospholipids (MP) or triacylglycerol (TAG). The levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were the same in the MP and TAG feeds. The control group was given rotifers (R). The larvae were offered feed from day 4 post‐hatch. Larvae fed formulated feed with added MP showed good initial growth and there were no significant differences in weight on day 6 between this group and the group given rotifers. Using feed with added TAG enriched with EPA and DHA gave no growth at all. Using SP as the lipid source in the feed resulted in reduced initial growth. Electron microscopical examination of enterocytes was performed on larval intestines on day 6. Larvae fed MP, TAG or rotifers had normal looking enterocytes with numerous normal looking mitochondria. In the enterocytes of larvae fed SP the mitochondria appeared swollen with a translucent matrix and fragmented cristae. Thus, SP or TAG appear not to be suitable as the sole source of lipids and/or phospholipids in start‐feed for turbot larvae and the effects of MP are not solely caused by high levels of EPA and DHA.     

Evaluation of weaning performance of California halibut (Paralichthys californicus) larvae using growth,survival and digestive proteolytic activity

This study evaluated weaning success of California halibut, Paralichthys californicus, larvae onto a microdiet at various stages of development utilizing growth, survival and digestive enzyme activity. Weaning onto a microdiet was evaluated at 16, 26, 36 and 46 days posthatch (dph). Alkaline and acid proteases and leucine aminopeptidase activities were measured after weaning and compared between the weaned treatment and Artemia‐fed controls. Survival was significantly lower in the microdiet‐fed treatments compared to the control groups. Growth was significantly reduced in all weaning treatments compared to the control, except for the 46 dph group. No differences in enzyme activities were detected between treatment and diet at 16 and 26 dph; however, activities were higher for the microdiet‐fed larvae at 36 and 46 dph. This study demonstrates that California halibut larvae possess a differentiated and effective digestive system early in development and can be weaned with relative success (>40% survival) before completion of the metamorphosis (i.e., 36 dph). The lack of weaning success at an early date cannot be entirely because of the absence of a functional stomach but could be related to, among other factors, the low‐microdiet ingestion rates observed and higher leaching of smaller microdiets.     

The effect of dipeptide,Lys‐Gly,supplemented diets on digestive tract histology in juvenile yellow perch (Perca flavescens)

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of three formulated diets: wheat‐gluten‐protein‐based diets supplemented with Lys‐Gly dipeptide (LG) or free lysine and glycine (FL), a control diet without lysine supplementation (C) and commercial starter Bio Oregon (BO) for on the growth and digestive system morphology of yellow perch. After 48 days of experimental feeding, fish fed LG diet showed the highest body mass. Fish fed LG diet showed the highest number of gastrin/cholecystokinin positive cells and the lowest number of CD3‐positive cells. The brush border of anterior intestine was the most PepT1 immunopositive in fish fed LG diet, the weakest in fish fed C diet. The largest hepatocytes were observed in fish fed BO, while the smallest in those fed FL diet, the difference being statistically significant. Relative hepatocyte cytoplasm volume occupied by lipids was higher in fish fed BO and FL compared to those fed C and LG. Number of proliferating cell nuclear antigen‐positive hepatocyte nuclei did not significantly differ among experimental groups. These results indicate that wheat‐gluten‐protein‐based diets supplemented with dipeptide Lys‐Gly (LG) were appropriate for yellow perch.     

Evaluation of various diets for the optimum growth and survival of larvae of the penaeid prawn Penaeus japonicus Bate

Four types of food were tested to determine their effects on the growth and survival of larvae of the penaeid shrimp Penaeus japonicus Bate. The food types were live cells of Candida utilis (yeast), freeze-dried Candida utilis, microparticulate diet, and microencapsulated diet (commercial product). The diatom Chaetoceros gracilis was fed to larvae as a control. Two sets of experiments were carried out; the first was run in outdoor 1.5 ton tanks, and the second in indoor 1.2 ton tanks. In the outdoor experiment, the best survival and growth from nauplius to postlarva stage were obtained using microparticulate diet. During the first week of culture, freeze-dried Candida utilis resulted in the highest growth and survival among examined diets, but both factors dropped dramatically after the mysis stage. In the indoor experiment, the best growth and survival were obtained using live cells of Candida utilis from nauplius stage to end of mysis stage followed by brine shrimp. Tested diets were analysed for their contents of crude protein, total lipids, total carbohydrates, amino acid profiles and fatty acid contents.     

Survival and growth of selected marine fish larvae first fed with eggs and endotrophic larvae of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus

Two sets of experiments were carried out to evaluate the potential of eggs and endotrophic larvae of captive Paracentrotus lividus as alternative live prey for marine fish larvae first feeding. The first consisted in rearing sparids, Diplodus sargus and Sparus aurata, larvae until 15 days after hatching in a recirculation system. Compared with the commonly used live prey – rotifer Brachionus spp. – general lower values of survival and growth were obtained when fish larvae were fed with the alternative live prey. Among these, eggs showed to be the preferred feeding. Broodstock feed showed to play a fundamental role on prey quality and consequent fish larvae survival. In the second set of experiments, the 24‐h ingestions of the first feeding larvae in static water were determined for five currently cultured fish larvae species. Except for larger and more predatory Dicentrarchus labrax larvae, there was a trend for higher P. lividus egg ingestion, followed by pre‐plutei and prisms. Prey size, colour and movement affected food selection by fish larvae. It is concluded that, in spite of the alternative live prey being readily consumed by all tested fish larvae, they cannot however presently compete with rotifers in marine fish larvae first feeding.
