A growth trial was conducted to evaluate the effects and safety of nucleotides in low fish meal diets on the growth performance, antioxidative capacity and intestinal morphology of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus). High fish meal control diet was formulated with 500 g kg?1 fish meal. Seven levels (0.075, 0.15, 0.225, 0.300, 1.5 and 3.0 g kg?1, respectively) of nucleotides were added to a low fish meal basal diet, which was formulated with 400 g kg?1 fish meal. The eight experimental diets were fed to groups of juvenile turbot (initial weight: 6.0 ± 0.03 g) for 60 days. Results showed that compared with high fish meal control diet, low fish meal basal diet treatment had lower total antioxidative capacity (T‐AOC), glutathione peroxidase activity, fold height of proximal and distal intestine, enterocyte height of all evaluated enteric section and microvillus height of mid‐intestine and distal intestine (P < 0.05). However, supplemented nucleotides in diets could significantly improve growth (specific growth rate, SGR), feed utilization, antioxidative capacity and intestinal morphology of turbot (P < 0.05). Broken‐line regression analysis of SGR and T‐AOC showed that the optimal supplemental levels of dietary nucleotide for juvenile turbot were 0.366 and 0.188 g kg?1, respectively. In summary, 0.300 g kg?1 of dietary nucleotides was helpful in improving growth, feed utilization, antioxidative capacity and intestinal morphology of turbot fed with low fish meal diet. Excessive dietary nucleotides (3.0 g kg?1) might cause oxidative stress and morphological damage in intestine and then reduce the growth of turbot.  相似文献

Two 8‐week growth trials were conducted in indoor recirculation system to evaluate the protein requirements for juvenile (3.70 ± 0.20 g) and pre‐adult (85.2 ± 0.70 g) gibel carp, Carassius auratus gibelio var. CAS III. Six isoenergetic diets were formulated for each trial using fish meal and casein as protein sources, and protein level was 250–450 g kg?1 in Trial 1 and 200–450 g kg?1 in Trial 2. With the increasing dietary protein, feeding rate (FR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Weight gain (WG) increased first and then reached a plateau in 330–450 g kg?1 in Trial 1 (P > 0.05), while decreased after the maximum value in 350 g kg?1 in Trial 2 (P < 0.05). Productive protein values (PPVs) were lower in 370–450 g kg?1 in Trial 1 and 400–450 g kg?1 in Trial 2 (P < 0.05). Increasing dietary protein level increased protein content and decreased lipid content in whole fish body and white muscle (P < 0.05). Apparent digestibility coefficient of dry matters (ADCd) decreased, while apparent digestibility coefficient of protein (ADCp) increased in 370–450 g kg?1 in Trial 1 and 250–450 g kg?1 in Trial 2 (P < 0.05). Trypsin activity significantly increased in 370–450 g kg?1 in Trial 1 (P < 0.05) and was not affected in Trial 2 (P > 0.05). Hepatic alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities in both trials increased when dietary protein was above 400 g kg?1 (P < 0.05). Based on quadratic regression of WG, it was estimated that dietary protein requirement for maximum growth was 414 g kg?1 (digestible protein of 376 g kg?1) and 365 g kg?1 (digestible protein of 324 g kg?1) for juvenile (3.70 g) and pre‐adult gibel carp (85.2 g).  相似文献

Coral reef fish are collected from the wild and exhibited in aquaria worldwide. Some of the fish spawn in captivity; however, the eggs are usually neglected. In this study, we collected the eggs spawned naturally in the exhibit tanks, hatched and cultured them indoor in 2000‐L fibreglass tanks (initial density = 18 000 egg tank?1). We applied an inorganic fertilization method commonly used in freshwater fish culture in raising these coral reef fish larvae. We maintained inorganic phosphorus concentration at 100 μg P L?1 and inorganic nitrogen at 700 μg N L?1 daily in the fertilized group (n = 4), while the control tanks (n = 4) were fed with rotifers (10 ind mL?1). Chlorophyll a at particle sizes of both 0.45–20 μm and >20 μm, as well as NH3‐N, NO3‐N, and PO4‐P concentrations were significantly higher in the fertilized group than the control. Zooplankton in the size groups of 10–50 μm (mainly flagellates) and 50–100 μm (mainly ciliates) were abundant (about 10~60 ind mL?1) during 3–7 days in fertilized tanks. The average larval fish survival rate at 21 day after hatch in fertilized group was consistently higher than the control in two trials. The experiments demonstrated that the inorganic fertilization approach can be successfully adapted for coral reef fish culture in an aquarium to achieve sustainable exhibits.  相似文献

An 8‐week feeding trial was conducted to determine the optimum dietary methionine (Met) requirement of juvenile Pseudobagrus ussuriensis with an initial average weight of 0.60 g reared in indoor flow‐through and aerated aquaria. Six isonitrogenous (430 g kg?1 protein) and isolipidic (50 g kg?1 lipid) test diets were formulated to contain graded levels of crystalline L‐methionine (4.9, 9.0, 11.8, 14.2, 18.1 and 20.8 g kg?1 dry diets, respectively) at a constant dietary cystine level of 2.5 g kg?1 dry diets. Equal amino acid nitrogen was maintained by replacing methionine with non‐essential amino acid mixture. Fish were randomly allotted to 18 aquaria (1.0 × 0.5 × 0.8 m) with 50 fish to each glass aquarium. Fish were fed twice daily (08:00 and 16:00) to apparent satiation. No significant difference was observed in survival of fish (84.67–91.33%). Specific growth rate (SGR), weight gain (WG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein productive value (PPV) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) were significantly affected by different dietary methionine levels (P < 0.05). WG, SGR PPV and PER increased, while FCR decreased with increasing dietary methionine level from 4.9 to 11.8 g kg?1 (P < 0.05). However, with further increase from 11.8 to 20.8 g kg?1, WG, SGR PPV and PER significantly decreased, FCR increased (P < 0.05). The whole body and muscle composition were affected by different dietary methionine levels (P < 0.05). Condition factor (CF) increased with increasing dietary methionine levels up to 11.8 g kg?1 (P < 0.05) and after 11.8 g kg?1 methionine diet, but not significant, declines were observed (P > 0.05). Hepatosomatic index (HSI) of the 4.9, 9.0, 11.8 and 14.2 g kg?1 Met diets was significantly higher than that of fish fed diets 18.1 and 20.8 g kg?1 Met diets (P < 0.05). Viscerosomatic index (VSI) of the 4.9, 9.0 and 11.8 g kg?1 Met diets was significantly higher than that of fish fed diets 14.2, 18.1 and 20.8 g kg?1 Met diets (P < 0.05). Quadratic regression analysis of WG and PER against dietary methionine levels indicated that the optimal dietary methionine requirement for maximum growth and feed utilization of juvenile Pseudobagrus ussuriensis was 14.3 and 14.1 g kg?1 dry diet (35.3 and 34.8 g kg?1 dietary protein), respectively, in the presence of 2.5 g kg?1 dry diets cystine.  相似文献

To assess the effects of A3α‐peptidoglycan (A3α‐PG) extracted from Bifidobacterium sp. on the immune response and disease resistance of sea cucumber, different concentrations (0, 0.5, 5 and 50 mg mL?1) of A3α‐PG suspensions were used to perform hypodermic injection on Apostichopus japonicus, followed by a Vibrio splendidus challenge. Total coelomocyte count (TCC), phagocytosis activity and activities of four immunological enzymes in both cell‐free coelomic fluid (extra‐cellular, EC) and coelomocyte lysate supernatant (intracellular, IC), including acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD), were measured at 2, 6, 14 and 24 h post injection (hpi). The TCC was not significantly affected (P > 0.05) by A3α‐PG, ranging from 1.84 × 106 to 3.53 × 106 cells mL?1. The coelomocyte phagocytosis activity was significantly activated (P < 0.05) in all the A3α‐PG treatments, whereas no significant difference was observed between them except 24 hpi (P > 0.05). The EC‐ACP activity in the 5.0 mg mL?1 treatment increased significantly (P < 0.05) at all sampling times, while the IC‐ACP activity in the 50 mg mL?1 treatment increased significantly (P < 0.05) at 2 hpi. Also, the 5.0 mg mL?1 treatment had significant (P < 0.05) increase in the EC‐ALP activity within 14 hpi and the EC‐POD activity at 2 hpi, respectively, while significantly (P < 0.05) enhanced IC‐ALP and IC‐POD activities were observed in the 50 mg mL?1 treatment within 6 hpi and at 2 hpi, respectively. Only the 5.0 mg mL?1 treatment showed significant (P < 0.05) increase in the EC‐SOD activity at 2 hpi and IC‐SOD activity within 14 hpi, respectively. The challenge test showed that the animals treated with 50 mg mL?1 of A3α‐PG had notably lower cumulative mortality after 14 days following V. splendidus exposure. All together, these results suggest that A3α‐PG could positively enhance immune response that effectively promotes the health status of A. japonicus against V. splendidus infection.  相似文献

This study was conducted to determine the optimal dietary biotin requirement of juvenile Megalobrama amblycephala. Quadruple groups of fish (initial average weight 2.01 ± 0.01 g) were fed thrice daily with six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic purified diets containing 0 (basal diet), 0.015, 0.049, 0.158, 0.624 and 2.49 mg kg?1 biotin, respectively, for 8 weeks. Results showed that survival rate, final weight, feed intake, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio and nitrogen retention efficiency all increased significantly (P < 0.01) as dietary biotin levels increased from 0 to 0.049 mg kg?1, whereas the opposite was true for feed conversion ratio. Dressout percentage, condition factor, hepatosomatic index, viscera/body ratio all showed no significant difference (P > 0.05) within the biotin range tested. Contrary to moisture content, whole‐body protein and lipid contents showed a positive correlation with dietary biotin levels. In addition, liver biotin content increased significantly (P < 0.05) with increasing dietary biotin levels up to 0.624 mg kg?1. Hepatic pyruvate carboxylase (PC) and acetyl‐CoA carboxylase (ACC) activities both showed an increasing trend as dietary biotin levels increased. Based on the regression analysis of weight gain, hepatic PC and ACC activities, the optimal dietary biotin requirement of juvenile Megalobrama amblycephala is estimated to be 0.063, 0.071 and 0.075 mg kg?1, respectively.  相似文献

The effect of the different dietary carbohydrate types and levels on growth performance, haematological indices and hepatic hexokinase (HK) and glucokinase (GK) genes expression involved in control of glucose metabolism, was studied in juvenile mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio). Two carbohydrates (glucose and starch) diets with two levels (250 and 500 g kg?1) were fed to triplicate groups of 35 fish for 60 days. The best weight gain rate and specific growth rate were observed in fish fed with 250 g kg?1 glucose diet and 500 g kg?1 starch diet (P < 0.05). Fish fed with 500 g kg?1 glucose showed low feed utilization, with the highest food conversion ratio and the lowest protein efficiency ratio (P < 0.05). Hepatosomatic index was significantly higher in fish fed with glucose diets and the 500 g kg?1 starch diet compared to 250 g kg?1 starch. CHOL, HDL‐C and LDL‐C were significantly highest in fish fed with 500 g kg?1 starch than all other diets (P < 0.05). Hepatic GK mRNA expression level and activity were positively related to glucose and starch levels (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that hepatic glycogen concentration was increased by dietary carbohydrate content (P < 0.05). These results suggest that GK may play a major role in the postprandial glucose utilization in juvenile mirror carp.  相似文献

A growth experiment was conducted to determine the optimum dietary protein‐to‐energy (P/E) ratio of juvenile Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis. Six practical diets were formulated with P/E ratios ranging from 15.94 to 21.25 g protein MJ?1 gross energy (g MJ?1). Results showed that specific growth rates related with molting were significantly affected by dietary P/E ratio (P < 0.05). The specific growth rates both in body weight (SGRw) and carapace width (SGRcw) for the entire experimental period were not significantly affected by dietary P/E ratio (P > 0.05). Molting frequency, survival rate and crab body composition were also significantly affected by dietary P/E ratio (P < 0.05). Rate of precocity displayed negative trends with growth rate, and the trend with SGRcw was significant (P < 0.01). The activities of alkaline phosphatase, trypsinase and steapsin were significantly affected by dietary P/E ratio (P < 0.05). Molting frequency (P < 0.001), SGRw1‐2 (P < 0.05) and SGRw0‐2 (P < 0.05) were positively and significantly related to alkaline phosphatase activity. We recommend 18.13–19.20 g MJ?1 as the optimum dietary P/E ratio for juvenile E. sinensis, based on growth performance, rate of precocity and digestive enzyme activities.  相似文献

An 8‐week‐feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary chitosan oligosaccharide complex with rare earth (COS‐REE) on growth performance and innate immune response of turbot, Scophthalmus maximus L. (Initial average weight was (12.1 ± 0.1) g) as well as disease resistance against Edwardsiella tarda. Six practical diets (approximately 53.01% protein and 12.57% lipid) were formulated to contain graded levels (0, 75, 150, 300, 600 and 1200 mg kg?1) of COS‐REE. Results of the present study showed that, compared to the control group (0 mg kg?1), the specific growth rate (SGR) was significantly higher in fish fed the diet with 300 mg kg?1 COS‐REE (P < 0.05), while the feed conversion ratio (FCR) significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The phagocytic index (PI) and the activity of super oxide dismutase (SOD) of serum in fish fed the diet with 300 mg kg?1 COS‐REE was significantly higher than fish fed the control diet (P < 0.05), but no significant differences were observed in malondialdehyde (MDA) and hepatic metallothionein (MT) concentrations. After 8 weeks, fish were challenged by intraperitoneal injection with E. tarda, and COS‐REE‐treated fish demonstrated increased protection capability. These results suggested that COS‐REE could enhance growth, innate immunity and disease resistance in turbot, and the optimum dose was approximately 300 mg kg?1.  相似文献

Light is a key environmental factor that influences the growth, culture and survival of aquatic organisms. This study examined the effects of different light qualities (red, orange, white, blue and green light) and intensities (5 μmol m?2 s?1, 15 μmol m?2 s?1 and 40 μmol m?2 s?1) on the hatching and metamorphosis of larva of Haliotis discus hannai Ino and the growth and survival of juveniles. It was found that under blue and green light, the hatching success rate and metamorphosis of larva were significantly higher than those for any other light quality (P < 0.05), and there was a decreasing trend with an increase in light intensity. Under red and orange light, the abnormality rate of trochophores in each light intensity treatment and the time required for the metamorphosis of larva were significantly higher than those for any other light group (P < 0.05). Both the abnormality and metamorphosis rates significantly increased with light intensity. Under white light, at an intensity of 40 μmol m?2 s?1, the settlement and size of larva at metamorphosis were significantly smaller than those for any other light intensity (P < 0.05). Under red and orange light, the SGR of juvenile abalone in each light intensity treatment was significantly lower than that in any other light group (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was identified (P > 0.05). Therefore, selecting blue and green light and controlling the light intensity to 5–15 μmol m?2 s?1 during fingerling reproduction of abalone should increase the hatching success rate of larva and the yield per water body.  相似文献

A 30‐day experiment was conducted to evaluate inorganic nitrogen control, biofloc composition and shrimp performance in zero‐exchange culture tanks for juvenile L. vannamei offered a 35% (P35) or 25% (P25) crude protein feed, each feed supplemented with additional carbohydrate to increase the C/N ratio to 20:1 (CN20) or 15:1 (CN15). Sucrose was used as a carbohydrate to manipulate the two C/N ratios based on the carbon and nitrogen content of both the feeds and sucrose. The four treatments were referred to as: P35 + CN20, P35 + CN15, P25 + CN20 and P25 + CN15. Each treatment consisted of four replicate tanks (125 L), each stocked with 28 shrimp (equivalent to 224 shrimp m?3). Bioflocs formed and developed based on initial inoculation in all four treatments; and monitored water quality parameters were maintained within acceptable ranges for shrimp culture throughout the experiment. No significant effects (P > 0.05) of dietary protein level, C/N ratio or their interaction were observed on biofloc development (BFV, TSS and BFVI) and inorganic nitrogen (TAN, NO2?‐N and NO3?‐N) concentrations. At the end of the experiment, proximate analysis of the bioflocs collected from the four treatments showed crude protein levels of 21.3% ~ 32.1%, crude lipid levels of 1.6% ~ 2.8% and ash levels of 43.4% ~ 61.4%. Extracellular protease and amylase activities of the bioflocs were 9.9 ~ 14.4 U g?1 TSS and 293.5 ~ 403.8 U g?1 TSS respectively. Biofloc composition and enzyme activity were both affected by dietary protein level (P < 0.01) and C/N ratio (P < 0.05). Survival, per cent weight gain and protein efficiency ratio of shrimp were not affected (P > 0.05) by dietary protein level, C/N ratio or their interaction; however, the feed conversion ratios were significantly lower (P < 0.05) in treatments with high dietary protein (P35) compared with those in treatments with low dietary protein (P25). The results from this study demonstrate that dietary protein level and C/N ratio manipulation can have important implications for water quality, biofloc composition and shrimp performance in intensive, zero‐exchange biofloc‐based culture systems.  相似文献

This study was conducted to compare the effects of manganese sulphate (Mn‐S), glycine manganese(Mn‐Gly) and manganese 2‐hydroxy‐4‐(methylthio)butyrate (Mn‐HMB) on juvenile cobia, Rachycentron canadum L. Treatments consisted of 0, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 mg supplemental Mn kg?1 from Mn‐S, Mn‐Gly or Mn‐MHB. Growth performance, manganese status, antioxidant activities and tissue mineral content were analysed after a 70‐day feeding period. Specific growth rate (SGR) increased with feeding 6.29 to 12.65 mg Mn kg?1 diet from the Mn‐S or 6.86 to 12.39 mg Mn kg?1 from the Mn‐Gly or 6.50 to 8.33 mg Mn kg?1 from the Mn‐HMB and then plateaued above these levels. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) show decreasing first and then increased trend. Survival rate (SR) were not affected by the dietary treatments (P > 0.05). Fish fed diets supplemented with manganese at levels of 4–32 mg Mn kg?1 had obviously higher hepatic Mn‐SOD activity (P < 0.05); on the contrary, hepatic has lower malondialdehyde (MDA) content (P < 0.05) than fish fed the basal diet. The manganese concentrations of whole body and vertebrae increased with increasing dietary Mn levels from 2–32 mg Mn kg?1 (independent on manganese sources). Dietary Mn supplementation did not significantly influence the copper concentrations of whole body and vertebrae, the zinc concentrations of whole body and liver. Analysis by the broken‐line regression of SGR indicated that the optimal dietary Mn requirements in juvenile cobia were 15.42, 11.22 and 10.50 mg Mn kg?1 diet from Mn‐S, Mn‐Gly or Mn‐HMB respectively.  相似文献

A study was conducted to estimate the optimum requirement of dietary phosphorus (P) for Channa argus × Channa maculata. Effects of dietary P levels on the tissue composition, serum biochemical parameters and antioxidant status were also examined. Five practical diets were formulated to contain graded levels (4.8 g kg?1, 6.4 g kg?1, 7.9 g kg?1, 9.4 g kg?1 and 11.0 g kg?1) of available P from dietary ingredients and monocalcium phosphate (MCP). Each diet was randomly assigned to triplicate groups of 30 juvenile fish (initial body weight, 20.50 ± 0.53 g) for 8 weeks. The results showed that the specific growth rate (SGR) and weight gain (WG) were all significantly improved by dietary P up to 9.4 g kg?1 (P < 0.05) and then levelled off beyond this level. Broken‐line analysis showed maximum weight gain (WG) was obtained at dietary available P concentrations of 9.6 g kg?1. With the increase in dietary P level, protein efficiency rate (PER) increased significantly and reached a plateau, while the feed conversion ratio (FCR), the mesenteric lipid somatic index (MSI) and the whole‐body lipid content significantly reduced (P < 0.05). Dietary P levels also affected the mineralization (ash and P) of whole body, vertebrae and scale (P < 0.05). Quadratic analysis based on P contents in whole body, vertebrae, scale and ash content in vertebra indicated that the available P requirements were 10.4, 9.8, 10.0 and 10.3 g kg?1, respectively. However, no differences were found in the whole‐body moisture, crude protein, serum calcium (Ca) contents or Ca/P value, as well as the viscerosomatic index (VSI) and hepatosomatic index (HSI) among all the treatments (P > 0.05). Triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) decreased significantly, while serum P content, HDL‐C/TC and HDL‐C/LDL‐C value increased significantly with dietary available P levels (P < 0.05). No significant changes in superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were observed (P > 0.05), but serum catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities and the ratio of CAT/SOD and GPx/SOD increased significantly with increasing dietary P levels (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the optimal P requirement of juvenile snakehead in practical feed was 9.6 g kg?1. Signs of P deficiency were characterized by poor growth, slightly reduced mineralization and the antioxidant capacity and an increase in body lipid content.  相似文献

This study was conducted to determine dietary thiamine requirement of juvenile Sclizothorax prenanti and evaluate the effect of dietary thiamine levels on growth performance, body composition and haemato‐biochemical parameters for this fish species. The seven experimental diets were formulated to contain the graded levels of thiamine (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 100 mg kg?1 diet, respectively), providing the actual dietary thiamine values of 0.31 (control), 9.82, 21.49, 29.83, 41.66, 62.24 and 114.58 mg kg?1 diet, respectively. Each diet was assigned to three replicate groups of S. prenanti (initial body weight: 13.46 ± 0.28 g, means ± SD) for 60 days. Increasing dietary thiamine level up to 21.49 mg kg?1 diet increased weight gain rate (WGR), specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency (FE) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) (P < 0.05), beyond which they remained nearly unchanged. Similarly, hepatic thiamine concentration and several serum biochemical parameters (transketolase activity, triglyceride and total cholesterol contents) increased with increasing levels of thiamine up to 21.49 mg kg?1 diet (P < 0.05) and, thereafter, remained almost constant. However, no significant differences in body composition (moisture, protein, lipid and ash contents) were found among dietary thiamine treatments (P > 0.05). Analysis by the broken‐line regression of WGR, SGR, FE, PER, hepatic thiamine concentration and serum transketolase activity indicated that dietary thiamine requirements in juvenile S. prenanti were 18.45–25.91 mg kg?1 diet.  相似文献

A 49‐days feeding trial was conducted to study the effects of sodium butyrate on growth performance, gut morphology of juvenile grass carp. Five isoenergetic and isonitrogenous experimental diets were compounded by the supplementation in the basal diet with gradient sodium butyrate at 0, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000 mg kg?1 respectively. A total of 375 juvenile grass carp (with initial body weight of 3.8 g) were randomly allocated into five diet treatments, and each treatment has three replicates. The results showed that the specific growth rate (SGR) of SB1000 and SB2000 group was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of the other groups. Moreover, the lowest SGR was observed in SB3000 group. Feeding rate and the whole‐body proximate composition including moisture, crude lipid, crude protein and crude ash were not affected by sodium butyrate (P > 0.05). Total superoxide dismutase activities in hepatopancreas in the experimental groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Glutathione peroxidase activity in hepatopancreas was significantly upregulated by dietary sodium butyrate level (P < 0.05). However, the activity of total antioxidant capacity and the contents of malondialdehyde were not significantly different among groups. The expression levels of mRNA encoding PepT1 and LAT2 in the foregut both showed a first increasing and then decreasing tendency as dietary sodium butyrate level increased (P < 0.05), and peaked in SB1000 and SB2000 groups respectively. The results indicated that appropriate dietary supplementation of sodium butyrate at 2000 mg kg?1 could improve the growth, antioxidant ability and intestinal absorption capacity of the juvenile grass carp.  相似文献

A growth trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of chelated (Mintrex? Mn, Mn‐M) or inorganic (MnSO4·H2O, Mn‐S) manganese (Mn) on growth, feed utilization, tissue Mn deposition and liver superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in turbot Scophthalmus maximus. A semi‐purified basal diet was formulated to be deficient in Mn (3.7 mg kg?1) and contained tricalcium phosphate and sodium phytate at levels of 20 and 5 g kg?1, respectively. Ten other diets were made by adding five levels (5, 10, 20, 35 and 55 mg Mn kg?1 diet) of either the Mn‐M or Mn‐S to the basal diet, respectively. The 11 experimental diets were fed to groups of turbot (mean initial weight: 4.6 g) for 8 weeks. Results showed that the specific growth rate (SGR), feed intake, whole body Mn/vertebra Mn concentration and Mn‐SOD activity in liver were significantly improved by Mn supplementation (P < 0.05). On the basis of SGR, vertebra Mn concentration or liver Mn‐SOD activity data, dietary Mn requirement was estimated to be 10.5, 46.3 or 12.9 mg kg?1 for turbot fed Mn‐S, and the same was estimated to be 7.6, 43.0 or 22.5 mg kg?1 for turbot fed Mn‐M, respectively. There was no significant difference in growth, feed intake, whole body Mn concentration or vertebra Mn concentration between the two dietary Mn sources (P > 0.05).  相似文献

A basal isonitrogenous and isoenergetic plant‐based diet (Control) was supplemented with either 10 g kg?1 sodium diformate (NaDF), 4000 FTU kg?1 phytase (Phy) or a combination of both additives (NaDF + Phy). Three hundred juvenile rainbow trout with an average weight of 120 g were randomly distributed into 12 fibreglass tanks (300 L). After 65 days of trial, fish fed diets containing phytase, NaDF or the combination of both additives showed a higher growth rate (P < 0.05) compared to fish fed Control diet. NaDF increased feed intake (P = 0.032), while phytase inclusion resulted in a better feed conversion ratio (P < 0.0001) and a higher N retention efficiency (P = 0.02) compared with the Control. Apparent digestibility of P, Ca, Mg and Zn was improved by the use of phytase (P < 0.005) as well as P, Ca and Mg retention efficiency in fish (P < 0.0001). Using 4000 FTU kg?1 phytase in plant‐based diets resulted in a 13% and 50% reduction in N and P loadings, respectively. The use of NaDF in combination with phytase in a plant‐based diet for rainbow trout resulted in a higher weight gain than that when NaDF was used alone.  相似文献

Ethoxyquin (EQ) is the most common synthetic antioxidant used for preventing rancidity in fish foodstuffs. However, literature related to the effects of dietary EQ on performance of fish was limited. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of EQ on performance and EQ residue in muscle of juvenile Japanese seabass Lateolabrax japonicus and to estimate the optimal EQ concentration in the diet. Graded levels [0 (control), 50, 150, 450 and 1350 mg EQ kg?1 diet] of EQ were added to the basal diet, resulting in five dietary treatments in the experiment. Each diet was fed to triplicate groups of seabass (initial body weight 8.01 ± 0.76 g) for 12 weeks in floating sea cages (1.5 × 1.5 × 2.0 m, 30 fish per cage). Survival ranged from 78.9 to 86.7%, and was irrespective of dietary EQ levels. The specific growth rate (SGR) of fish fed diets supplemented with ≤50 mg kg?1 EQ had significantly (P < 0.05) higher SGR than fish fed diets supplemented with ≥150 mg kg?1 EQ, the highest SGR was observed in fish fed diet with 50 mg kg?1 EQ supplementation. Feed intake (FI) and feed efficiency (FE) were not significantly (P > 0.05) different among dietary treatments. Fish fed diets with 50 and 1350 mg kg?1 EQ had a significant (P < 0.05) lower body lipid content than fish in the control group. Muscle EQ level significantly increased when dietary EQ increased. Optimal EQ concentration estimated by polynomial regression based on maximum growth of juvenile Japanese seabass was 13.78 mg kg?1 diet.  相似文献

To provide a specific lighting system to aquaculture, a completely randomized design with five light treatments with three replicates was used to investigate effects of light intensity on juvenile Epinephelus coioides reared in artificial sea water. The weight gain rate (WG, %), specific growth rate (SGR % day?1), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and survival rate (S, %) were significantly higher at the 320–1150‐lx treatments (P ≤ 0.05) compared with the other treatments, but the highest food conversion ratio (FCR) was at the 0‐lx treatment and the lowest at 600–1150 lx. Total protease, amylase and lipase activities in liver, stomach and intestine were significantly higher at 320–1150‐lx conditions and significantly lower at 0 lx (P ≤ 0.05) than in the other treatments. The highest contents of crude protein and crude lipid were observed at 600–1150 lx and 320–550 lx respectively. However, both moisture and ash were highest at 0 lx and lowest at 600–1150 lx. The results indicated that light intensity could significantly affect husbandry parameters, digestive enzymes and whole‐body composition of juvenile E. coioides, with optimal light intensity being at 600–1150 lx.  相似文献

A 16‐week feeding trial was conducted to assess the effects of replacing fish meal (FM) with cottonseed meal (CM) on the growth performance, feed utilization, plasma biochemical composition and target of rapamycin (TOR) pathway gene expression of juvenile blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala). Five isonitrogenous (36% crude protein) and isoenergetic (16 MJ kg?1) diets with graded replacing levels of CM (replacing 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% FM with CM) and similar lysine and methionine concentrations were fed to triplicate groups of fish. Results revealed that specific growth rate (SGR), feed intake and protein efficiency ratio (PER) of group fed with diets replacing FM with CM up to 50% were significantly higher than others (P < 0.05). However, final body weight and feed conversion ratio (FCR) remained similar up to 25% and thereafter significantly decreased and increased, respectively, as the replacement level increased (P < 0.05). Replacement levels significantly decreased hepatosomatic index and viscerosomatic index (P < 0.05), but did not significantly affect condition factor and whole body compositions. Free gossypol mainly accumulated in liver and significantly increased in diets CM75 and CM100 than CM0 (P < 0.05). Replacement significantly influenced plasma urea contents (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, increasing replacement of FM with CM in diets increased insulin‐like growth factor I (IGF‐1) gene expression in liver of blunt snout bream. Target of rapamycin (TOR) gene expression in diet CM100 was significantly lower than that in diets CM0 and CM75, while the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E‐binding protein 2 (4E‐BP2) gene expression was not affected by the replacement level of CM in diets. Therefore, based on final body weight and FCR, it suggested that up to 25% of FM (150 g kg?1 in basal diet) could be replaced by CM in diets, which was 112.5 g kg?1 FM and 192.9 g kg?1 CM, for juvenile blunt snout bream.  相似文献
