The effects of using thraustochytrid Schizochytrium sp. as source of lipid and fatty acids in a formulated diet on growth, survival, body composition, and salinity tolerance of juvenile donkey’s ear abalone, Haliotis asinina, were investigated. Treatments consisted of diets either containing a 1:1 ratio of cod liver oil (CLO) and soybean oil (SBO) (Diet 1) or thraustochytrid (Diet 2) as source of lipid and fatty acids at 2 % level. Natural diet Gracilariopsis heteroclada (Diet 3) served as the control. No significant difference in growth was observed in abalone fed Diet 3 (SGR: 5.3 % BW day?1; DISL: 265 μm day?1) and Diet 2 (SGR: 5.2 % BW day?1; DISL: 255 μm day?1). Survival ranged from 78 to 85 % for all treatments and was not significantly different from each other. A 96-h salinity stress test showed highest survival of 84 % in abalone fed Diet 2 compared with those fed diets 1 and 3 (42 %). The high growth rate of abalone fed Diet 2 and high tolerance to low salinity could be attributed to its high DHA content (8.9 %), which resulted to its high DHA/EPA ratio of 10.5 %. These fatty acids play a significant role in abalone nutrition. The fatty acid profile of abalone meat is a reflective of the fatty acid profile of the oil sources in the diet. The present study suggests that the use of Schizochytrium oil in lieu of CLO and SBO can support good growth of abalone which is comparable with abalone fed the natural seaweeds diet.  相似文献

We isolated the rotifers Brachionus ibericus and Proales similis from the sediment of shrimp tanks and studied their individual demographic characters and competition between them at two food levels (0.25?×?106, 1.00?×?106 cells ml?1 of Nannochloropsis oculata at 25 °C) and salinities ranging from 10 to 30‰. Our hypothesis was that growth rates would be higher with increasing food levels and salinities. Observations were taken twice a day for life table studies and daily once for population growth experiments. Using survivorship and fecundity data, we derived various life history variables. Although the average life span (7.6?±?0.4 days) and gross reproductive rate (33.8?±?2.9 neonate female?1 day?1) of B. ibericus were higher than those of P. similis (average life span 5.4?±?0.6 days and gross reproductive rate 13.0?±?0.6 neonate female?1 day?1), the population growth experiments showed that P. similis had higher r values (0.32?±?0.005 day?1) than B. ibericus (0.23?±?0.002 day?1) at 1.0?×?106 cells ml?1 of N. oculata. The rotifer P. similis was more adversely affected due to the presence of B. ibericus than vice versa. The data are important for developing techniques for a large-scale culture of these rotifers as food in aquaculture.  相似文献

Five diets were compared for their efficiency at maturing the gonads of the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis. The diets consisted of a 1:1:1 mixture of Isochrysis galbana (T-Iso), Pavlova lutheri, and Chaetoceros calcitrans given at concentrations of 2.4 × 1011 cells day?1 for the positive control treatment (PF) and 3.0 × 1010 cells day?1 (=1/8) for the negative control treatment (NF). The other three treatments, MB10+, MyStock+, and Frippak+, consisted of the NF diet supplemented with one of the micro-encapsulated diets MB10 (mixture of dried algae), MyStock (formulated diet), and FRiPPAK® Fresh #1 CAR (larval shrimp diet) at a level of 0.2% of the live weight (LW). Treatments PF, MB10+, and MyStock+ led to high percentages of spawning animals (80, 78, and 85%, respectively) and large numbers of eggs (on average 3.0 × 106 eggs female?1). Females given the NF and Frippak+ treatments produced only half the number of eggs per female, and only 17 and 6%, respectively, of the animals spawned. A high hatching rate was observed for all treatments, 71% for the pure algae diets PF and NF and more than 80% for the micro-encapsulated diets. The larvae resulting from the NF treatment were smaller, with 41% of D-larvae measuring less than 90 μm, whereas with the other treatments only 5–11% belonged to that size category. The four most important fatty acids found in mussel eggs were 16:0, 16:1(n?7), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA); these represented at least 50% of the fatty acids in all treatments. The high DHA content of MB10 and MyStock was not reflected in the fatty acid composition of the eggs whereas the high concentration of linoleic acid in MyStock was. To our knowledge, this is the first time that mussels are successfully conditioned with formulated feeds.  相似文献

The present study was conducted to demonstrate the dietary myo-inositol requirement and its effects on the growth, proximate composition and blood chemistry of Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii). Triplicate groups of 30 fish (initial weight 11.90?±?0.12 g) were fed different diets containing graded levels of myo-inositol (28.75, 127.83, 343.83, 565.81, 738.15 and 936.28 mg kg?1) until satiation for 56 days. The fish were weighed after a 24-h fast, and six fish were used for whole body composition analysis. Further, the liver and muscle were sampled from another six fish for lipid analysis. The blood and liver were sampled from the remaining six fish for haematology and fatty acid analysis. The weight gain of fish increased with myo-inositol content, from the 28.75- to 343.83-mg kg?1 myo-inositol treatment groups, and then stabilised. The liver lipid content and hepatosomatic index decreased significantly from 21.91 to 19.14% and from 3.20 to 2.76% with increased dietary myo-inositol supplementation, respectively. The whole body lipid content generally decreased from 6.33 to 5.55%. The content of liver-saturated fatty acids decreased significantly (28.13%) in the 936.28-mg kg?1 treatment group. The content of plasma non-esterified fatty acids increased with the increase in dietary myo-inositol supplementation from 0.77 to 1.17 mmol L?1, whereas the content of triglycerides significantly decreased from 4.62 to 3.28 mmol L?1. In conclusion, the optimum myo-inositol requirement was found to be 336.1 mg kg?1, based on weight gain in a two-slope quadratic broken-line model.  相似文献

Fairy shrimp is known as a nutritional food for fish and crustaceans in aquaculture. In most hatcheries, the microalga Chlorella sp. appears to be the most common, suitable, and nutritious food to feed fairy shrimp. In this study, we attempted to determine other alternative algal diets for cultivation of fairy shrimp Branchinella thailandensis. Seven experimental diets including three treatments of dried Spirulina sp. at 0.75 (S1), 1.5 (S2), and 3.0 mg dry weight individual?1 (S3); three treatments of Chlorococcum humicola at 5 × 105 (Ch1), 1 × 106 (Ch2), and 2 × 106 cells mL?1 (Ch3); and a control diet (Chlorella vulgaris at 1 × 106 cells mL?1) were fed to 5-day-old shrimp for 15 days. Evaluation of growth performance, egg production, survival percentage, and nutritional and carotenoid content of the experimental fairy shrimp revealed that Ch3 is the most suitable algal diet. Our results suggest that C. humicola is the best alternative food source for the cultivation of B. thailandensis. In addition, dried Spirulina powder is also a good choice when live algae are not available and can be used as an alternative feed in fairy shrimp cultures.  相似文献

Seeking alternatives to the depleting fish oil are crucial for marine fish aquaculture, which is currently dependent on fish oil as the primary source of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAs). Five isonitrogenous (46% crude protein) and isolipidic (16% crude lipid) feed diets (FO, ISO2.9, ISO4.8, ISO6.7, ISO8.6) were formulated by partially replacing fish oil with microalgae Isochrysis galbana. These diets were fed to triplicate tanks of Trachinotus ovatus (mean initial weight 1.92 g) for 80 days. This work demonstrates that a moderate inclusion (around 4.5–5.0 wt%, equivalent to the replacement of 24–26 wt% fish oil) of I. galbana biomass in fish diet improves fish growth performance, lipid deposition and enhances total n-3 fatty acids, DHA, and EPA contents in neutral and polar lipids (PLs) of fish muscle and liver of T. ovatus. The results disclosed in this study suggest that I. galbana microalgae represents a potential high-quality substitute for fish-based ingredients in aquaculture feeds, which can be a promising sustainable solution to resolve the depleting fish oil resource in a cost-effective manner.  相似文献

A 2 × 3 factorial study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary protein levels (DPLs) and feeding rates (FRs) on the growth and health status of juvenile genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT), Oreochromis niloticus. Triplicate tanks of fish (initial weight 15.87 ± 0.11 g) were fed diets containing 25 or 35% protein at rates of 3, 5, or 7% body weight per day (BW day?1) for 8 weeks. At the end of the feeding trial, the results showed that fish growth (final mean weight 34.61–81.07 g) and condition factor (3.39–4.45 g cm?3) increased with the DPLs and FRs. Feed efficiency (FE, 0.48–0.88) increased as DPLs increased but decreased as FRs increased; the opposite trend was observed for feed cost (FC, 3.24–5.82 CHN Yuan kg?1) and hepatosomatic index (0.98–2.33%). Apparent protein retention efficiency (APRE, 23.92–38.78%) was reduced by high FR. A 35% protein diet resulted in higher (P < 0.05) FE and APRE, and lower (P < 0.05) FC at 5% BW day?1 than those at 7% BW day?1. As FRs increased, lipid contents of the hepatopancreas, viscera, muscle, and eviscerated body increased, while moisture contents of hepatopancreas and viscera decreased. All serum biochemical parameters, including glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase activity and levels of creatinine, glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and total protein were unaffected by DPL or FR (P > 0.05), except urea nitrogen levels, which were affected by DPLs (P < 0.05). Moreover, the size of hepatocytes and the area ratio of hepatocyte vacuoles were enlarged (P < 0.05), whereas the area ratios of the nucleus and cytoplasm were reduced (P < 0.05) with increasing FRs. These results suggested that the optimal feeding strategy for juvenile GIFT is 35% protein diet at 5% BW day?1.  相似文献

To investigate the illuminance requirements for the culture of red algae in finfish effluent, both Chondrus crispus and Palmaria palmata were assessed simultaneously at three irradiances. Apical tips, 3.5 cm length, were stocked at 2 g L?1 in 1-L glass flasks with enriched seawater in two 24-day experiments, at 10 and 14 °C, respectively. Palmaria grew up to 70 % better and up took more nutrients than Chondrus under five of the six experimental conditions, except at 14 °C and low irradiance (daily photon dose of 3.4 mol photon m?2 day?1). Specific growth rate of both species at high irradiance, 13.1 and 17.2 mol photon m?2 day?1, at each trial, 10 and 14 °C, respectively, was 40 and 20 % better than at medium irradiance, but nutrient uptake was similar at both medium and high irradiance. Chondrus growth rate was higher during Experiment 2 (14 °C and 17.2 mol photon m?2 day?1) than during Experiment 1 (10 °C and 13.1 mol photon m?2 day?1), while Palmaria growth rate was similar in both trials, but always significantly higher than Chondrus. In the range 10–14 °C, Palmaria is the best candidate for integration with Atlantic halibut juveniles (Hippoglossus hippoglossus).  相似文献

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of feeding low protein diets (~20BFd20.13; ~22BFd22.20; ~24BFd24.32, and ~26BFd26.44) in the presence of the biofloc on the growth performance and feed utilization of (Fenneropenaeus indicus) in comparison with commercial feed of 35% CP as control. The present study was based on application of genetic, nutritional and pathological tools. The biofloc was developed in the low protein diet using molasses as a carbon source. Fifty juveniles F. indicus with an average body weight of 0.52?±?0.03 g were stocked in 50 L plastic tanks. Low protein diets and the control were tested in three replicates over a 112 days feeding trial. There were significant differences in protein, amino acids profile, lipids and fatty acids profile between the control and low diets group in the presence of the biofloc. However, less variation was noticed in the whole body composition (protein, amino acid profile, lipids and fatty acid profiles) of the shrimp between the control and low diets groups in the presence of the biofloc. There were no significant differences in final weight between control and low diets groups. Same trend was noted in the SGR, which did not vary significantly between low protein diets and control. However, the utilization of the biofloc by shrimp as a feed source was evident by the significant differences (P<?0.05) in FCR between low protein diets and control. There was a significant difference in the shrimp survival (%) (P<?0.05) between the low protein diets and the control which ranged between 86.66 % and 66.66 %, respectively. The development of biofloc significantly reduced the TAN, nitrate NO3-N and nitrite NO2-N levels in the low protein diets tanks. Diagnostic of mortality cases revealed that biofloc can serve as a biosecurity system for shrimp farmimg. RAPD-PCR were used to study the epidemiology of Vibrio parahaemolyticus responsible for early mortality syndrome (EMS) isolated from the water of culture system. The OPC5 (GATGACCGCC) primer produced bands ranged from 1 to 8 with sizes from 0.2–5.0 kb.  相似文献

The objective of the present work was to determine the influence of artificial substrates that increase the area for biofilm development on the production performance of Farfantepenaeus paulensis juveniles in pens. Shrimp were stocked at a density of 20/m2 in pen structures (bottom area?=?50 m2) that were installed in the Patos Lagoon estuary. Two treatments with three repetitions were analyzed, where artificial substrates (polyethylene nets—1-mm mesh size) were added to increase the area for biofilm development by 100%, and where no substrates were added. During the experimental period, the biomass and the composition of the biofilm were assessed. After 86 days of rearing, no significant differences were found in shrimp performance between the treatments (p?>?0.05). However, the examination of the chlorophyll a, dry weight, and composition of the biofilm indicated that the shrimp were actively consuming the biofilm attached to the artificial substrates. Significant decreases in the abundances of nematodes >?500 μm after the 56th day and of tintinnids and rotifers between day 28 and day 42, indicated that the shrimp were selectively predating on these organisms. Moreover, a decrease in the chlorophyll a concentration in the biofilm suggests that the shrimp were consuming the microalgae. Although the increase in the area for biofilm development did not improve shrimp performance, the shrimp presented the highest growth rates when they consumed most of the biofilm microorganisms.  相似文献

Integration of tilapia to shrimp culture is currently being practiced to minimize the growth of pathogenic luminous bacteria. The microorganisms that are associated in tilapia may contribute to the inhibition of the growth of Vibrio harveyi through the production of secondary metabolites. In this study, two Bacillus strains (MJA1.1, MJA2.1) isolated from mucus of tilapia were evaluated for their possible application in shrimp culture. The inhibitory property of these isolates against V. harveyi was determined in vitro using co-culture assay in a liquid medium. Also qualitative extracellular enzyme assay was conducted to assess whether the bacterial isolates produce extracellular enzymes. Furthermore, the potential use of these isolates as shrimp feed additive was tested. Thereafter, shrimps were exposed to lethal dose of ammonia (140 mg l?1) to test the effects of the isolates in vivo. The results showed that in vitro co-culture assay after 72 h caused a significant decline in the population of V. harveyi in treatments with potential probiotic isolates. Both isolates showed protease, amylase, and cellulase activities. Although no significant difference was observed in growth, survival was significantly higher in shrimp fed with diets added with either of the isolates. The shrimp exposed to lethal dose of ammonia demonstrated better survival when supplemented with the probionts compared to the control group. Thus, the efficiency of the isolates in inhibiting V. harveyi population and the improvement of survival and resistance of cultured shrimp to ammonia stress indicate their potential as probionts for shrimp culture.  相似文献

Nucleotides (NT) are widely used as an immunostimulant in aquaculture. A 10-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary NT on the growth performance, immune response, disease resistance and intestinal morphology of the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (initial mean body weight: 0.39 ± 0.00 g). Five isolipidic (about 7 % crude lipid) and isonitrogenous (about 39 % crude protein) practical diets were supplemented with graded levels of NT (0, 60, 90, 120 and 1200 mg kg?1), respectively. These diets were named as N1, N2, N3, N4 and N5. Each diet was randomly fed to six tanks of shrimps, and each tank contained 40 shrimps. The shrimps were fed four times daily (07:00, 11:00, 16:00 and 21:00 h). The results showed that there were no significant differences in survival, final weight, specific growth rate, feed intake, feed conversion ratio and whole-body compositions among all the treatments (P > 0.05). Shrimps fed the control diet had the significantly lowest activities of superoxide dismutase, total nitric oxide synthase and lysozyme (P < 0.05). However, those parameters increased when dietary NT increased from 60 to 120 mg kg?1 and decreased as inclusion level increased to 1200 mg kg?1 (P < 0.05). The cumulative mortality of the shrimps challenged with Vibrio parahaemolyticus was significantly higher in the treatments without dietary NT supplementation than those in treatments with dietary NT (≥90 mg kg?1) (P < 0.05). The jejunum wall thickness in shrimps fed the control diet was significantly lower than that in the treatments of N2, N3 and N4 (P < 0.05). For the villus height, the highest value (49.29 µm) was found in N3. In summary, the present study showed that 90 mg kg?1 of dietary NT is the optimum dietary level for good gut health, immune response and disease resistance of Pacific white shrimp fed a diet with 18 % fish meal.  相似文献

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the commonest probiotics incorporated in aquafeeds. An 84-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of varying dietary inclusions of S. cerevisiae, 0% (control), 3% (YF3), 5% (YF5), and 7% (YF7), on growth, stress tolerance, and disease resistance in juvenile (body mass ~?21 g) Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Fish were randomly distributed in groups of 20 into 12 1-m3 hapas and fed isoenergetic (~?17 kJ g?1 gross energy) and isonitrogenous (~?300 g kg?1 crude protein) diets at 3% of their bulk weight daily. Specific growth rates were significantly higher for the yeast-fed fish (0.77–0.78% day?1) than for the control fish (0.60% day?1) and resulted in significantly higher mean final weights for the yeast-treated groups. Protein and lipid retention efficiencies were also significantly higher in the yeast-fed fish than in the control group. In subsequent stress challenge trials, the yeast-fed fish had greater tolerance to acute heat as well as hypoxia exposure than the control fish. Survival rates of the yeast-treated groups following sudden exposure to elevated water temperature (40 °C) ranged from 82.5 to 100% compared to 15% for the control. Mean survival rates following a 24-h hypoxia exposure were also generally significantly higher for the yeast-fed fish. The probiotic groups recorded a relative percent survival (RPS) of 75% after a 14-day Aeromonas hydrophila infection challenge. The results of this study indicate that S. cerevisiae as an additive in Nile tilapia diets has beneficial impacts on growth, stress tolerance, and disease resistance.  相似文献

The kinetics of astaxanthin degradation and lipid oxidation in shrimp oil from hepatopancreas of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) as affected by storage temperature were studied. When shrimp oil was incubated at different temperatures (4, 30, 45 and 60 °C) for 16 h, the rate constants (k) of astaxanthin degradation and lipid oxidation in shrimp oil increased with increasing temperatures (p < 0.05). Thus, astaxanthin degradation and lipid oxidation in shrimp oil were augmented at high temperature. When shrimp oils with different storage conditions (illumination, oxygen availability and temperature) were stored for up to 40 days, astaxanthin contents in all samples decreased throughout storage (p < 0.05). All factors were able to enhance astaxanthin degradation during 40 days of storage. With increasing storage time, the progressive formation of primary and secondary oxidation products were found in all samples as evidenced by the increases in both peroxide values (PV) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) (p < 0.05). Light, air and temperatures therefore had the marked effect on astaxanthin degradation and lipid oxidation in shrimp oils during the extended storage.  相似文献

In the present study, cellulase, protease, lipase and amylase activities were performed to investigate the effects of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis CF4MRS bioencapsulation of Artemia franciscana. Our results show that cellulase activities (total cellulase—FPase activity, exoglucanase and endoglucanase—CMCase activity) were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in A. franciscana tissue homogenates compared to those in the control group after 8 h of L. lactic bioencapsulation. Notably, an exception case was found in β-D-glucosidase activity, whereby the cellulase activity was not significantly different (P > 0.05) compared to the control group. Administrations of L. lactis at cell concentration of 108 CFU mL?1 showed considerable improvement of other important enzymatic activities such as amylase, protease and lipase in A. franciscana. The amylase/protease ratio in probiotic-treated A. franciscana was recorded at 0.343, approximately two times higher than those without probiotic administration (0.184). In contrary, amylase/lipase ratio showed half of a reduction (0.330) in L. lactis-administrated A. franciscana compared to the control (0.614). Our study suggests that important digestive enzymes, e.g., cellulase, amylase, protease and lipase, can be enhanced through bioencapsulation of A. franciscana with L. lactis subsp. lactis, which could in turn lead to further stimulation of endogenous enzymes in the fish and shrimp larvae.  相似文献

As amino acids (AAs) are vital molecules in the metabolism of all living organisms and are the building blocks of enzymes, a 6-week feeding trial was conducted for determining the influence of dietary essential amino acid (EAA) deficiencies on pancreatic, plasma, and hepatic enzyme activities in silvery-black porgy (initial weight 4.7?±?0.01 g) juveniles. Eleven isoproteic (ca. 47%) and isoenergetic (ca. 20.5 MJ kg?1) diets were formulated including a control diet, in which 60% of dietary nitrogen were provided by intact protein (fish meal, gelatin, and wheat meal) and 40% by crystalline AA. The other 10 diets were formulated by 40% reduction in each EAA from the control diet. At the end of the experiment, fish fed with threonine-deficient diet showed the lowest survival rate (P?<?0.05), whereas growth performance decreased in fish fed all EAA-deficient diets, although the reduction in body growth varied depending on the EAA considered. Pancreatic enzymes (trypsin, lipase, α-amylase, and carboxypeptidase A) activities significantly decreased in fish fed the EAA-deficient diets in comparison with fish fed the control diet (P?<?0.05). Fish fed with the arginine-deficient diet had the highest plasma and liver alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase levels (P?<?0.05). Plasma and liver lactate dehydrogenase and superoxide dismutase showed the highest and lowest values, respectively, in fish fed the arginine and lysine-deficient diets (P?<?0.05). Plasma metabolites were significantly affected by dietary EAA deficiencies (P?<?0.05). The results of this study suggesting dietary EAA deficiencies led to reduction in growth performance as well as pancreatic and liver malfunction. Furthermore, arginine and lysine are the most limited EAA for digestive enzyme activities and liver health in silvery-black porgy.  相似文献

In this study, Enterobacter cloacae bacterium was isolated from curd and its antibacterial potential against the pathogen Plesiomonas shigelloides was evaluated using the freshwater ornamental fish Kenyi cichlid (Maylandia lombardoi). Among the bacterial isolates, E. cloacae exhibited tolerance to acidic pH 2 and demonstrated the highest antibacterial activity against P. shigelloides in various in vitro assays. Dietary supplementation of E. cloacae with prebiotic supplement 2% mannan oligosaccharide improved the growth performance and reduced the toxic metabolites such as nitrite in culture tank water of Kenyi cichlid. In vivo application of E. cloacae with mannan oligosaccharide significantly elevated (p?<?0.05) white blood cell counts (88.47?±?2.15 103 mm?3) and respiratory burst activity (0.243?±?0.007) of Kenyi cichlid when challenged with P. shigelloides. Intestinal morphology of Kenyi cichlid fish treated with probiotic and prebiotic combinations showed improved intestinal architectures. The present findings confirm that the isolated bacterium E. cloacae is a potential probiotic and can be used effectively to prevent infection of P. shigelloides in freshwater ornamental fish culture.  相似文献

This study was conducted to evaluate dietary protein and carbohydrate requirement of juvenile Hawaiian limpets Cellana sandwincensis. A total of 64 juvenile limpets (3.12 ± 0.86 g) were fed five different dietary protein levels ranging from 270 to 470 g kg?1 for 90 days. Carbohydrate and lipid levels were held constant at 180 and 49.7 g kg?1, respectively. Weight gain and growth rates of the animals did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) among the protein levels ranging from 270 g kg?1 (0.30 % day?1) to 470 g kg?1 (0.23 % day?1). Next, opihi were fed four diets with protein levels from 210 to 500 g kg?1 with a constant carbohydrate level at 120 g kg?1. Weight gain and specific growth rates of opihi increased with increasing dietary protein from 210 to 350 g kg?1, and significantly (P < 0.05) decreased at the 500 g kg?1 diet. Highest weight gain, growth rates, and protein efficiency ratio were achieved at 350 g kg?1. Elevated carbohydrate levels (180–370 g kg?1) produced a significant difference (P < 0.05) in growth. The fastest growth rates of animals were obtained with 270 g kg?1 (0.27 % day?1) and 320 g kg?1 (0.26 % day?1). The weight gain of animals fed 180 and 370 g kg?1 carbohydrate diets were significantly (P < 0.05) lower than those of animals fed 270 and 320 g kg?1. We conclude that about 350 g kg?1 protein and 320 g kg?1 carbohydrate levels could be used for opihi.  相似文献

Administration of probiotic candidates in fish has generally been shown as a useful strategy to improve growth performance, survival, digestive enzyme activity, and gut microbiota. Unfortunately, the sero-immunological responses of different fish to different probiotic candidates are poorly understood. The present study assessed the effect of Pediococcus acidilactici as a probiotic on the biochemical and immunological parameters of beluga. Fish (248.32?±?10.21 g) were fed a control diet (without P. acidilactici( and three different doses of P. acidilactici-supplemented diets (107, 108, and 109 CFUg?1 diets) for 8 weeks. On week 8, blood and serum were sampled. Dose-dependent increase of immunological parameters (respiratory burst activity, lysozyme content, serum antibacterial activity, and total immunoglobulin) and biochemical parameters (total protein and albumin levels) was observed. However, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were significantly increased in the juvenile beluga fed by 109 CFUg?1 P. acidilactici-supplemented diet compared to the other groups. Based on the results of this evaluation, it is reasonable to conclude that the inclusion of P. acidilactici as probiotic in diets for juvenile beluga improves the sero-immunological parameters of the fish and should be considered by farmers as a strategy to improve fish health.  相似文献

A 12-week feeding trail was conducted to assess the effect of rare earth-chitosan chelate (RECC) on growth performance and immune responses of gibel carp, Carassius auratus gibelio. Isonitrogenous and isolipid experimental diets were supplemented with graded levels of rare earth-chitosan chelate (RECC 0, 0.8, 4 and 8 g Kg?1). A total of 720 gibel carps (initial body weight about 14.32 g) were divided randomly into four groups with six replicates, respectively. Fish were fed with the experimental diets three times every day. At the end of the feeding trail, the survival rate was higher than 96 %. Weight gain rate and specific growth rate (SGR) significantly increased with RECC supplementation up to 0.8 g Kg?1 (P < 0.05) and tended to decline at higher supplementation levels, while feed conversion ratio was not significantly different between groups (P > 0.05). Based on broken-line regression analysis of SGR, the optimum dietary RECC was estimated to be 0.71 g Kg?1 of the diet. Condition factor and viscerosomatic index were not significantly affected by RECC (P > 0.05), while hepatosomatic index in the group fed with 0.8 g Kg?1 RECC (3.45 ± 0.10 %) was significantly lower than in other groups (P < 0.05). Plasma ALT was significantly affected by RECC (P < 0.05), while AST was not. Plasma total protein and albumin were increased with RECC supplementation up to 0.8 g Kg?1 and decreased significantly at higher supplementation levels (P < 0.05). RECC supplementation significantly decreased plasma urea and glucose concentration and increased plasma creatinine concentration significantly (P < 0.05). Respiratory burst activity of phagocytes and myeloperoxidase activity were not significantly different between groups, while superoxide dismutase activity and nitrogen monoxide concentration were increased with the increasing level of RECC in the diets. In conclusion, RECC could enhance growth performance and improve immunity of gibel carp.  相似文献
