Influence of Dietary Lipids and Environmental Salinity on the n-3 Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Biosynthesis Capacity of the Marine Teleost Solea senegalensis

Fish vary in their ability to biosynthesise long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) depending upon the complement and function of key enzymes commonly known as fatty acyl desaturases and elongases. It has been reported in Solea senegalensis the existence of a Δ4 desaturase, enabling the biosynthesis of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which can be modulated by the diet. The present study aims to evaluate the combined effects of the partial replacement of fish oil (FO) with vegetable oils and reduced environmental salinity in the fatty acid composition of relevant body compartments (muscle, hepatocytes and enterocytes), the enzymatic activity over α-linolenic acid (ALA) to form n-3 LC-PUFA through the incubation of isolated hepatocytes and enterocytes with [1-¹⁴C] 18:3 n-3, and the regulation of the S. senegalensis fads2 and elovl5 in the liver and intestine. The presence of radiolabelled products, including 18:4n-3, 20:4n-3 and EPA, provided compelling evidence that a complete pathway enabling the biosynthesis of EPA from ALA, establishing S. senegalensis, has at least one Fads2 with ∆6 activity. Dietary composition prevailed over salinity in regulating the expression of fads2, while salinity did so over dietary composition for elovl5. FO replacement enhanced the proportion of DHA in S. senegalensis muscle and the combination with 20 ppt salinity increased the amount of n-3 LC-PUFA in hepatocytes.     

Soy protein concentrate as a protein source for Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis Kaup 1858) diets: effects on growth and amino acid metabolism of postlarvae

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of a dietary amino acid imbalance, originating from the use of a soy protein concentrate (SPC) as the major protein source, on the growth performance and amino acid metabolism of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) postlarvae. Senegalese sole (85.6±24.6 mg wet weight) were fed one of two experimental diets: one based on fish meal (FM) and another based on SPC. Diets were isonitrogenous (around 56% crude protein) and isoenergetic. Diet acceptability was very good and the growth rate was 6.9% day^?1 for sole eating the FM diet and 6.0% day^?1 for sole eating the SPC diet. Mass‐specific ammonia excretion and the activities of selected amino acid metabolic enzymes (ALAT, ASAT and GDH) did not present significant differences between treatments, although this may have been due to the high variability found for these parameters in the SPC treatment. This variability may suggest different capacities of individual fish to adapt to the possible methionine dietary deficiency. The utilization of amino acids as a substrate for lipogenesis does not seem to be affected by the dietary protein source, since NAPDH‐generating enzymes (G6PD and ME) had similar activities in both treatments. Amino acid metabolism in Senegalese sole postlarvae seems to be slightly affected by the dietary protein source. Nevertheless, the changes induced by the SPC diet do not seem to impair growth, at least at the high dietary protein level used in this experiment.     

Vibrio species isolated from diseased farmed sole,Solea senegalensis (Kaup), and evaluation of the potential virulence role of their extracellular products

Bacteria isolated from an outbreak with moderate mortalities in farmed sole, Solea senegalensis (Kaup), in the south of Spain were identified as Vibrio harveyi and V. parahaemolyticus. Only bacterial strains showing swarming were virulent in sole and caused mortalities in experimentally inoculated fish. However, the signs of the disease were only reproduced with V. harveyi. The intramuscular inoculation of the extracellular products (ECPs) of both species produced mortalities in inoculated fish and the appearance of surface ulcers in the case of V. harveyi. However, the inoculation of sublethal doses of ECPs to fish showed a protective effect against V. harveyi.     

Decision support system for economic analysis of grasshopper treatment operations in the African Sahel

A decision support system for benefit/cost analysis of chemical treatment of the Senegalese grasshopper, Oedaleus senegalensis (Krauss) (OSE), was created to assist in the training, analysis, and management of grasshopper treatment programmes. The system, known as GHLSIM, has linked simulation models, databases, and a user interface. Millet and sorghum phenology and yields are estimated by an FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization, United Nations) soil water deficit model. Outputs from the PRIFAS (Programme de Recherches Interdisciplinaire Français sur les Acridiens du Sahel) OSE biomodel, including daily grasshopper life stages and favourability for development, are converted to density estimates using survey data, oviposition rates, and natural and insecticide-caused mortality. Crop loss is estimated through crop injury units — a function of grasshopper stage densities, consumption rates, crop preference, crop stage susceptibility, and non-crop vegetation greenness. Second-year benefits of treatment are estimated from end-of-season egg-pod densities. The model was calibrated using published economic thresholds for four crop stages. Yield increases from a late-season grasshopper aerial treatment campaign, 22 September — 19 October 1987, at 13 sites in eastern Chad were estimated at 33%±20% (s.e.). Benefit/cost ratios were 2.6±0.5 for the first season, and 3.8±0.7 with second-year effects added. The analysis indicated that optimal timing was 5–10 days earlier than the actual treatments. Crop yield reports from treated and non-treated areas, a crop loss assessment conducted in Batha, Chad in October 1987 and a break-even analysis provide further evidence that the campaign was successful and cost-effective at most sites, as indicated by model results.

2012年1月,广东省经历了2次低温天气.本研究分别于2次降温后（3 ～10℃）和正常温度下（＞10℃）采集广州和肇庆2片试验林的非洲桃花心木叶片,测定相对电导率（REC）、丙二醛（MDA）含量、脯氨酸（Pro）含量、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性和过氧化物酶（POD）活性5个指标,分析了27个种源对寒害的生理响应模式.结果表明,2次降温均显著提高了非洲桃花心木的REC、Pro含量、SOD和POD活性.相比首次降温,第2次降温后,Pro含量、SOD和POD活性进一步提高,而REC则有所降低,表明植株在2次降温后进一步启动了自身的保护系统.该研究应用耐寒隶属函数值对27个种源进行综合评价,初步选出来自马里（种源10#,20#,22#）和布基纳法索（种源30#,31#,32#）的6个耐寒表现优异的种源.     

Evaluation of protein hydrolysis in raw sources by digestive proteases of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis,Kaup 1858) using a combination of an in vitro assay and sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of products

The hydrolysis of protein in different animal and plant sources by the intestinal proteases of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) was studied using a combination of an in vitro digestibility assay and the evaluation of the protein fractionation by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE). In vitro hydrolysis was performed for 90 min in a closed reactor maintained at constant pH and temperature. Samples of the reaction mixture at different time intervals were developed in SDS‐PAGE gels to evaluate the progressive hydrolysis of the different protein fractions in each protein source. A numerical value [coefficient of protein degradation (CPD)], which integrates the information obtained after image analysis of the gels, is proposed for comparison among proteins, according to the intensity of the hydrolysis produced by sole proteases. Additionally, the total free amino acid released from proteins was measured during the in vitro assay. Casein, squid meal and soybean concentrate (SBC) proteins showed very similar degradation patterns, with a quick and almost complete proteolysis within the first minutes of the enzymatic reaction. Fish and krill meals were hydrolysed more progressively. On the contrary, pea meal (PM) and corn gluten meal (CGM) showed scarce changes in their protein profile after 90 min of reaction. For animal protein sources, the final CPD values ranged from 77.6% to 87.0%, showing not significant differences. By contrast, PM (30.5%) and CGM (32.3%) presented significantly lower CPD values (P<0.05) as compared with SBC (90.6%). In general, a linear fitting was found between CPD and the release of free amino acids during in vitro protein hydrolysis. The present study provides detailed information, which, combined with the conventional in vitro digestibility studies, may help in the evaluation of different raw sources according to their protein degradation patterns. This information can be applied directly to estimate the protein nutritional quality of ingredients for Senegalese sole feeds.
