绿色微囊藻等不同食物对大型生长和脂类成分的影响

The growth and reproduction of Daphnia magna fed with Microcystis viridis and Chlorella spp respectively and 20% fish oil + 80% yeast and yeast were studied. The intrinsic rate of natural increase of Daphnia magna (rm) was 0.243 fed with Microcystis viridis, 0.301 with Chlorella spp., 0.244 with 20% fish oil + 80% yeast and 0.193 with yeast. The result showed that：Daphnia magna fed with Microcystis viridis had lower growth rates than that fed with Chlorella spp. an d 20% fish oil + 80% yeast which both had full fatty acids. And the Daphnia magna fed with yeast was the lowest. So the fatty acids composition of diet may affect the growth of Daphnia magna. This paper further examined total lipids and main HUFA (EPA and DHA) compositions of the continuous three generations of Daphnia magna (in order to get rid of t he effects of former diet) fed with different of above diets (except the yeast). The result showed that:the three generations of the D. magna fed with Microcystis viridis had the lowest total lipids and the percentages of the HUFA (EPA, and no DHA) have a significant decrease and get the lowest EPA in the final experiment because of the very low HUFA especially EPA and DHA in Microcystis viridis. So the results indicate that Microcystis viridis with low HUFA made the lower growth rate, spawn ing rate and hatching rate of Daphnia magna.     

PPARs调控剂对加州鲈生长及糖脂代谢的影响

为研究PPARs(过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体)调控剂对加州鲈(Micropterus salmoides)生长及糖脂代谢的影响,试验采用单因素梯度设计,以基础饲料为对照组,在基础饲料中分别添加调控剂罗格列酮0.3、1.5、7.5和37.5 mg/kg,饲喂初始体重为(3.90±0.04)g的加州鲈56 d后,测定了PPARs调控剂罗格列酮对加州鲈生长和糖脂代谢相关血液生化指标的影响。结果显示:与对照组相比,饲料中添加罗格列酮对加州鲈增重率、特定生长率、饲料系数和蛋白质效率无显著性影响(P>0.05)。添加7.5 mg/kg罗格列酮试验组加州鲈鱼体脂肪和肝脏脂肪含量显著低于对照组及其它试验组(P<0.05)。添加7.5 mg/kg和37.5 mg/kg罗格列酮试验组血清甘油三酯的水平显著低于对照组(P<0.05);随着饲料中罗格列酮添加水平的增加,试验各组鱼体血糖和谷丙转氨酶的水平呈下降趋势,但试验各组鱼体血糖和血清谷丙转氨酶的水平与对照组之间差异不显著(P>0.05)。结果表明,添加罗格列酮可预防加州鲈糖脂代谢混乱,防止加州鲈脂肪肝的发生。     

不同蛋白质和脂肪水平饲料对拉氏幼鱼生长、体成分和免疫力的影响

为探讨不同蛋白质和脂肪水平饲料对拉氏幼鱼生长、体成分和免疫力的影响,以鱼粉和豆粕为蛋白质源,以豆油为脂肪源,配制蛋白质水平分别为23%、28%、33%、38%,脂肪水平分别为5%、8%、11%的12种半精制饲料,饲喂初始均重为(27.60±0.13)g的拉氏幼鱼。每种饲料投喂3个网箱(重复),每个网箱放养30尾试验鱼,进行60 d的养殖试验。结果表明:饲料蛋白质水平对拉氏幼鱼的增重率(WGR)、特定生长率(SGR)、蛋白质效率(PER)和饲料系数(FCR)有显著影响(P0.05),饲料脂肪水平对拉氏幼鱼的PER和FCR有显著影响(P0.05),但饲料蛋白质和脂肪水平对各生长性能指标无显著的交互作用(P0.05)。23%和28%蛋白质组的W GR和SGR显著高于33%和38%蛋白质组(P0.05),8%脂肪组的FCR显著低于11%脂肪组(P0.05),与5%脂肪组差异不显著(P0.05)。随着饲料中蛋白质水平的升高,全鱼粗蛋白质、粗脂肪和粗灰分含量都呈现出先升高后降低的趋势,在蛋白质水平为28%时达到最高值,而全鱼水分含量不受饲料蛋白质水平的影响(P0.05)。随着饲料中脂肪水平的升高,全鱼粗脂肪含量呈现升高的趋势,但8%和11%脂肪组差异不显著(P0.05)。嗜水气单胞菌攻毒48 h后,低、中蛋白质组(23%和28%蛋白质组)的存活率高于高蛋白质组(33%和38%蛋白质组),低脂肪组(5%脂肪组)的存活率高于其他2个脂肪组(8%和11%组)。综合以上研究结果得出,拉氏幼鱼饲料的适宜蛋能比为23.67~26.03 mg/k J,蛋白质水平为23%~28%,脂肪水平为5%~8%。     

The effect of dietary lecithin and lipase,as a function of age,on n-9 fatty acid incorporation in the tissue lipids of Sparus aurata larvae

The present study tested the effect of dietary lecithin and exogenous lipase on the incorporation of oleic acid in the tissue lipids of gilthead seabream larvae (Sparus aurata). Two of four microdiets were prepared by the addition of [¹⁴C]oleic acid as free fatty acid (FFA) to diets containing either 5% cuttlefish liver oil (CLO) or 5% soybean lecithin. Glycerol tri[1-¹⁴C]oleate was similarly incorporated in two other diets identical in lipid (4% cuttlefish liver oil, 1% soybean lecithin) and non-lipid composition but differed in that one contained a supplement of 0.05% porcine lipase. The effect of these diets was tested by following the incorporation of the label (dpm/mg larvae DBW) in the neutral and phospholipid fractions of seabream larvae at four different ages (21, 27, 32 and 45 days after hatching).A significant (p<0.05) effect of dietary lecithin on the incorporation of labelled FFA in both larval neutral and phospholipid fractions was demonstrated at all ages. This was particularly pronounced during early development (day 21) where fish fed the lecithin supplement incorporated 6.75 times more label than the diet containing [¹⁴C]oleic acid in CLO. The dietary lecithin enhancing effect diminished with age but was still significant at day 45 (2.17 times more label). In addition, the label was considerably higher in the phospholipid fraction compared to the neutral lipid, reflecting the high demand for membrane synthesis during rapid growth. Lecithin fed larvae demonstrated a higher consumption rate and efficiency of incorporation than fish consuming the cuttlefish liver oil diet, suggesting an emulsifying function for dietary phospholipid.In contrast, the supplementation with lipase showed a clear effect only in older fish where 45 day old larvae fed the lipase diet demonstrated a 3.42 times increase in radioactivity in their tissue lipids. This late lipase response may be the result of an insufficient level of dietary lecithin (M) and a short intestinal length being ineffective, in the early larval stages, in incorporating labelled free fatty acid from dietary glycerol tri[1-¹⁴C]oleate breakdown.     

Effect of different dietary lipid sources on growth and gonad maturation of pre‐adult female Cherax quadricarinatus (von Martens)

The effects of four dietary lipid sources (fish oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, pork lard) on growth and gonad maturation of pre‐adult female red claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus, were evaluated. Performance was evaluated by weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), survival, feed conversion ratio (FCR), gonadosomatic index (GSI), fatty acid composition, and vitellogenin (vg) gene expression. The proportion of saturated fatty acids (SFA), mono‐unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and poly‐unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in hepatopancreas varied as a result of lipid source, while differences in muscle were limited to MUFA levels. Vg expression and growth, but not GSI, differed significantly, with peak expression and optimal growth observed in red claws receiving the soybean oil diet. Conversely, diets high in EPA (20:5n3) and DHA (22:6n3) produced suboptimal results, suggesting that the importance of maturation diets with high EPA and DHA content may be exaggerated. As the dietary lipid requirements of growing and reproductively active red claw crayfish were satisfied by a plant oil that contained high levels of 18‐carbon unsaturated fatty acids, soybean oil may be an economic alternative to the expensive lipid‐fortified feed currently utilized by the aquaculture industry.     

Effects of dietary protein and lipid level on growth and body composition of juvenile ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis) reared in seawater

A 3 (protein levels, 380, 460 and 520 g kg^–1 diet) × 2 (lipid levels, 65 and 140 g kg^–1 diet) factorial experiment with three replicates was conducted. Weight gain, feed efficiency and daily feed intake were not significantly affected by dietary protein level, but were by dietary lipid level. Weight gains of fish fed 65 g lipid kg^–1 diet were significantly, or slightly, higher than for 140 g lipid kg^–1 diet at all protein levels. Daily protein intake was significantly affected by both dietary protein and lipid levels ( P  < 0.002). Daily lipid intake was not significantly affected by dietary protein level, but was by dietary lipid level ( P  < 0.001). Protein efficiency ratio was significantly affected by dietary protein level ( P  < 0.02), but not by dietary lipid level. Protein efficiency ratio tended to improve with the decrease of dietary protein level at the same lipid level. Moisture, protein and lipid contents of whole fish were significantly affected by dietary lipid level ( P  < 0.01). Increased dietary lipid did not improve growth or feed efficiency, but increased body fat deposition. It was concluded that the optimum dietary protein and lipid level for growth of juvenile ayu may be 380 and 65 g kg^–1 diet, respectively, when fish were fed to satiety three times daily in seawater.     

Histological alterations in the liver of sea bream, Sparus aurata L., caused by short- or long-term feeding with vegetable oils. Recovery of normal morphology after feeding fish oil as the sole lipid source

This study evaluated the effects of fish oil (FO) replacement by vegetable oils [soybean oil (SO), rapeseed oil (RO), linseed oil (LO)] and subsequent feeding with FO on the liver morphology of sea bream. A short-term trial (3 months) and long-term trial (6 months) were carried out feeding sea bream with the following experimental diets: FO100%; SO60% + FO40%; RO60% +FO40%; LO60% + FO40%; SO + RO +LO60% + FO40%. Finally, all groups from the long-term trial were fed with FO100% for 95 days (washout period). Liver samples were taken for histological and biochemical studies. In both the short- and long-term trials, livers of sea bream fed LO60% and SO + RO + LO60% showed a similar hepatic morphology to that observed in fish fed FO100%. In contrast, sea bream fed SO60% showed an intense steatosis, with foci of swollen hepatocytes containing numerous lipid vacuoles. After the washout period, a considerable reduction of the cytoplasmic vacuolation and the lipid vacuole accumulation were observed in the livers of fish fed the different experimental diets. The results of this study suggested that the type of non-essential fatty acid, characteristic of vegetable oils, induces the appearance of steatosis in the following order: linoleic acid > linolenic acid > oleic acid. However, the liver alterations found during the experimental periods with vegetable oils are reversible when the fish are re-fed with a balanced diet (FO100%), indicating the non-pathological character of these histological changes.     

Threonine supplementation reduces dietary protein and improves lipid metabolism in Pekin ducks

1. This study was conducted to investigate the efficiency of threonine (Thr) supplementation on reducing dietary crude protein (CP) content and the effects of Thr on lipid metabolism in Pekin ducks. The effects of dietary CP concentration (160, 190 and 220 g/kg) and Thr supplemental concentration (0, 0.7, 1.4, 2.1 and 2.8 g/kg) on growth performance, carcass, liver lipid and plasma profiles were determined in Pekin ducks from 1–21 d of age.

2. A total of 720-d-old male Pekin ducks were randomly allotted to 1 of 15 dietary treatments with 6 replicate cages of 8 birds per cage for each treatment according to average body weight.

3. Dietary Thr supplementation improved growth performance and breast muscle percentage at all CP diets, and ducks fed Thr-supplemented diets had higher plasma concentrations of some plasma amino acids. Thr supplementation reduced the concentrations of total lipid, triglyceride, cholesterol in liver, and plasma low density lipoprotein cholesterin concentration at 160 and 190 g/kg CP, whereas it increased triglyceride concentration at 160 g/kg CP.

4. Thr requirements based on quadratic broken-line model estimation were 6.6 and 7.0 g/kg for optimal average daily gain (ADG), and 6.7 and 7.3 g/kg for breast muscle percentage of Pekin ducks from 1–21 d of age at 190 and 220 g/kg CP, respectively. The dietary Thr requirements and estimated ADG (55.18 vs. 55.86 g/d/bird) and breast muscle percentage (2.79% vs. 2.75%) of Pekin ducks did not differ between 190 and 220 g/kg CP according to the t-test results.

5. Dietary CP level could be reduced to 190 g/kg in Pekin ducks from 1–21 d of age with Thr supplementation to balance dietary amino acids, and Thr supplementation prevented excess liver lipid deposition in this instance.     

Effect of dietary lipid level on juvenile black sea bass Centropristis striata fed two protein sources

A 10-week feeding trial was conducted with juvenile black sea bass Centropristis striata fed isonitrogenous diets (46% CP) with four lipid levels (7, 10, 13 and 16%) to identify dietary lipid levels supporting maximum weight gain and efficiency. Menhaden fish meal (FM) and animal protein concentrate (APC) were used in a 2×4 factorial experiment to evaluate effects of protein quality and lipid level on production. Weight gain, thermal growth coefficient, protein and energy retention, proximate composition and hepatic indices were evaluated. Weight gain was higher (P<0.05) in FM treatments and no protein sparing effect was observed. All growth, efficiency and retention parameters, except apparent net protein utilization (ANPU) among FM diets, were independent of dietary lipid. Based on proximate composition, diets should be restricted to no more than 13% lipid in 46% CP diet, and can be reduced to 7% without loss of growth and efficiency. Second order polynomial regressions on ANPU indicated 10–12% dietary lipid in a 46% CP diet is appropriate depending on protein quality. Reducing dietary lipid in current commercial feeds fed to black sea bass could represent a substantial cost savings in feed production.
