Abstract: | To improve the nutritional quality of live foods and dry feeds ordinarily used for the seed production of amberjack Seriola dumerili, the nutrient contents of rotifers, Artemia nauplii and commercial feeds used in two larval production stations were evaluated. For comparison of the nutrient contents,
artificially produced larvae, wild-caught juveniles and wild zooplankton samples were also analyzed. The proportions of 22∶6n-3
in the polar lipid of the cultured larvae increased by feeding the dry feeds. The taurine contents of the cultured larvae
reflected the contents of their foods (rotifers<dry feed<Artemia nauplii). The taurine content and the proportion of 22∶6n-3 in Acartia spp. were higher than in foods fed to the larvae. These parameters in the wild juveniles were higher than the cultured ones.
The A/E ratios (each essential amino acid/total essential amino acids)×1000] of the total amino acids of the live foods and
dry feeds were similar to those of the cultured larvae, except for the lower ratios of histidine, arginine, threonine and
lysine in the live foods. The mucosal folds of the intestine of the cultured larvae did not show typical signs of dietary
phospholipid deficiency. These results suggest that requirements of nutrients such as 22∶6n-3 and taurine should be determined
for mass production of amberjack seeds. |
