Francisella noatunensis subsp. orientalis (Fno) (syn. F. asiatica) is an emergent Gram‐negative facultative intracellular bacterium. Although it is considered one of the most pathogenic bacteria in fish, there are no commercially available treatments or vaccines. The objective of this project was to determine the most efficacious concentration of florfenicol (FFC) [10, 15 or 20 mg FFC kg?1 body weight (bw) per days for 10 days] administered in feed to control experimentally induced infections of Fno in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.), reared in a recirculating aquaculture system. The cumulative mortality of fish that received 0, 10, 15 or 20 mg FFC kg?1 bw per day was 60, 37, 14 and 16%, respectively. Francisella noatunensis subsp. orientalis genome equivalents were detected in water from all challenged groups with slight reduction in the concentration in the florfenicol‐treated groups 4 days after treatment. The mean LOG of CFU Fno mg?1 spleen was 3–5 and was present in all challenged groups at necropsy 11 days after treatment (21 days after challenge). Results show that florfenicol administered at doses of 15 and 20 mg FFC kg?1 bw per days for 10 days significantly reduced mortality associated with francisellosis in Nile tilapia.  相似文献

Two experiments were conducted to test the effectiveness of different therapeutants against a mixed infection of Aeromonas hydrophila and Flavobacterium columnare in sunshine bass. Experiment 1 evaluated copper sulphate, florfenicol‐medicated feed and potassium permanganate (KMnO4) against a natural mixed infection. Experiment 2 further evaluated copper sulphate as a treatment to control an experimental mixed infection. In experiment 1, naturally infected untreated fish had the lowest final survival per cent, at 71%, while florfenicol‐medicated feed at 15 mg kg?1 body weight for 10 days or copper sulphate at 2.1 mg L?1 (1% of the total alkalinity) for 24 h produced the highest final survivals, at 90% and 88%, respectively. The final survival of the naturally infected fish administered florfenicol‐medicated feed was significantly different (P < 0.1) from the untreated fish. The survival curves for the florfenicol and the copper sulphate at 2.1 mg L?1 were significantly improved from the untreated fish. In experiment 2, fish were challenged by waterborne exposure to A. hydrophila and F. columnare and either not treated or treated with copper sulphate at 2.1 mg L?1. At the end of experiment 2, the per cent survival of the challenged fish treated with copper sulphate (99%) was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than the non‐treated (61%). The results illustrate clear benefit of florfenicol and copper sulphate against a mixed infection of A. hydrophila and F. columnare.  相似文献

Pharmacokinetics and elimination of florfenicol and florfenicol amine in grouper held in sea water at 23.3 ± 0.8 °C were studied using HPLC method after they were given a single peroral dose of florfenicol at 24 mg kg?1 body weight. Florfenicol was rapidly absorbed from intestine and distributed extensively to all the tissues examined. The maximum concentrations (Cmax, μg g?1 or μg mL?1) in plasma and tissues were observed at 2–6 h (the time to reach maximum concentration, Tmax) except for bile (Tmax = 24 h) and were in the order of intestine (52.02 ± 25.07) > bile (49.41 ± 28.16) > gill (45.12 ± 11.10) > plasma (28.28 ± 5.43) > liver (21.97 ± 12.08) > muscle (21.63 ± 6.12) > kidney (20.88 ± 11.28) > skin (19.10 ± 5.88). The drug distribution level was higher in plasma than in extravascular tissues except for bile, based on the ratios of the area under concentration–time curve between tissue and plasma (AUCtissue/plasma). The elimination of florfenicol was rapid in fish, and the corresponding half‐lives (T1/2β) in the order of magnitude were bile (13.92 h) > muscle or liver (12.31 h) > skin (11.77 h) > plasma (11.57) > gill (11.04 h) > intestine (10.55 h) > kidney (10.05 h). The delayed Tmax, lower Cmax and longer T1/2β for florfenicol amine compared with florfenicol were measured in grouper.  相似文献

A feeding trial was conducted to study the effect of dietary lipid on growth performance and heat‐shock protein (HSP70 and HSP60) response of white seabass (WSB), Atractoscion nobilis. Five diets were formulated to contain 440 g kg?1 protein from 300 g kg?1 fish meal, 240 g kg?1 soybean meal and 100 g kg?1 soy protein concentrate with different levels of lipid: 100, 120, 140, 160 or 180 g kg?1. At the end of the trial, heat shock response based on HSP70 and HSP60 was measured in liver and white muscle from fish at ambient temperature and temperature shock conditions. Final weight and percent gain were significantly higher for fish fed the 100 g kg?1 lipid diet than for fish fed the rest of the diets (P ≤ 0.05). Feed conversion ratio was lowest for fish fed the 100 g kg?1 lipid diet. The HSP70 and HSP60 responses were positively correlated to dietary lipid levels following temperature shock. At ambient temperature, HSP60 and HSP70 responses in muscle and HSP60 response in liver increased with dietary lipid level. Temperature shock significantly increased the HSP response of fish in all treatments. Results of this study demonstrated that a moderate (110–120 g kg?1) level of dietary lipids would be recommended for production diets but a higher dietary lipid level may be required for optimal stress tolerance.  相似文献

Physiological responses and HSP70 mRNA expression to short‐term crowding were tested in juveniles genetically improved farmed tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (70.43 ± 4.43 g). Fish were kept at control group (5 g L?1) and stress groups (low density 10 g L?1, medium density 40 g L?1 and high density 70 and 100 g L?1) for 48 h. Each density was tested in triplicates. The effects of a short‐term exposure on the physiological responses of fish were determined before stress (0 h) and at 6, 12, 24 or 48 h post‐crowding. There was a significant increase in serum cortisol, total protein, lysozyme and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities in all stressed groups at 24 h post‐crowding (P < 0.05). Serum glucose and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) of 100 g L?1 stressed group were lower than that of the control after 48 h of crowding stress (P < 0.05). The levels of serum triglyceride and cholesterol in crowding stress with high density were significantly decreased compared with the control group at 48 h. The mRNA expression data showed that hepatic HSP70 mRNA levels were markedly elevated at all stressed groups. HSP70 mRNA levels of 70 and 100 g L?1 stressed groups decreased at 48 h compared with the 24 h post‐crowding. The protective ability of HSP70 was limited.  相似文献

A feeding trial of 84 days was carried out to evaluate the effects of olive cake (OC) on growth, feed utilization, digestibility of nutrient, haematological values and some blood chemistry parameters of juvenile hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus × Oreochromis aereus). Four diets were prepared including OC at levels of 0, 120, 240 and 360 g kg?1. Twenty fish per tank (initial weight 8.58 ± 0.09 g) were randomly distributed into 200‐L fibreglass tanks. Final body weight and specific growth rate of fish fed with diets OC12 were not significantly different compared to fish fed with the control diet. The best feed conversion rate and protein efficiency rate were obtained from the fish fed with the control and OC12 diets. Growth performance, feed conversion rate and protein efficiency rate of fish fed diets with OC incorporation levels of more than 12 per cent tended to decrease significantly (P < 0.05) compared to the control and OC12 diet groups. The apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) of dry matter significantly decreased (P < 0.05) with the increase of dietary OC levels, whereas the ADC of protein was not affected by dietary treatment. The ADC of lipid of fish fed with control and OC12 diets were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than those of fish fed with OC24 and OC36 diets. Mean corpuscular haemoglobin, cholesterol and triglycerides were affected by dietary OC level. The findings of this study show that OC can be incorporated to diets of juvenile hybrid tilapia up to 120 g kg?1 without any adverse effect on fish growth and feed utilization.  相似文献

Flavobacterium psychrophilum is responsible for significant economic losses in rainbow trout aquaculture. Antimicrobial treatment remains the primary means of control; however, there are limited choices available for use. The objectives of the study were therefore to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations for erythromycin and florfenicol in selected F. psychrophilum isolates and to evaluate their clinical treatment efficacy in experimentally infected rainbow trout. All isolates tested had moderate susceptibility to florfenicol and erythromycin except one isolate, which had low susceptibility to erythromycin. Two isolates (one with moderate and one with low susceptibility to erythromycin) were used in an experimental infection trial. Rainbow trout juveniles were injected intraperitoneally with 108 cfu/fish and after mortality had begun, fish were given erythromycin‐ and florfenicol‐medicated feed at a rate of 75 mg kg?1 day?1 and 10 mg kg?1 day?1 fish body weight, respectively, for 10 consecutive days. The splenic F. psychrophilum load was determined using an rpoC quantitative PCR throughout the 30‐day trial. Relative to antibiotic‐free controls, erythromycin treatment significantly (p < 0.05) reduced mortality of rainbow trout juveniles infected with FPG101, even when treatment was initiated after clinical signs developed.  相似文献

A 12‐week feeding trial was conducted in eighteen 70 L indoor polyvinyl circular troughs provided with a water flow‐through system (1–1.5 L min?1) at 28 ± 1 °C to evaluate the dietary tryptophan requirement of fingerling Catla catla (3.45 ± 0.24 cm; 0.60 ± 0.13 g). Six casein‐gelatin‐based amino acid test diets (330 g kg?1 crude protein; 13.6 kJ g?1 digestible energy) containing graded levels of L‐tryptophan (1.0, 1.4, 1.9, 2.3, 2.8, 3.4 g kg?1 dry diet) were fed to triplicate groups of fish near to satiation at 08:00, 12:30 and 17:30 h. Absolute weight gain, feed conversion ratio, protein gain, RNA/DNA ratio, hepatosomatic index, viscerosomatic index, condition factor and haematological indices improved with the increasing levels of tryptophan from 1.0 to 2.3 g kg?1 of dry diet. Significantly higher carcass protein was obtained at 2.3 g tryptophan per kilogram of the dry diet. Exponential analysis of absolute weight gain, feed conversion ratio, protein gain and RNA/DNA ratio against dietary tryptophan levels at 95% maximum and minimum responses displayed the tryptophan requirement at 2.5, 2.3, 2.5 and 2.1 g kg?1 dry diet, respectively. Inclusion of dietary tryptophan in the range of 2.1–2.5 g kg?1 dry diet, equivalent to 6.4–7.6 g kg?1 dietary protein, is recommended in formulating tryptophan‐balanced feed for the culture of this fish species.  相似文献

An 8‐week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the optimum dietary protein and lipid levels for growth, feed utilization and body composition of Pseudobagrus ussuriensis fingerlings (initial weight: 3.40 ± 0.01 g). Twelve diets containing four protein levels (350, 400, 450 and 500 g kg?1 crude protein) and three lipid levels (50, 100 and 150 g kg?1 crude lipid) were formulated. Fish were randomly allotted to 36 aquaria (1.0 × 0.5 × 0.8 m) with 25 fish to each glass aquarium. Fish were fed twice daily (08:00 and 16:00) to apparent satiation. The results showed that weight gain and specific growth rate (SGR) decreased with increasing dietary lipid level from 50 to 150 g kg?1 at the same dietary protein level. Fish fed the diets containing 150 g kg?1 lipid exhibited higher feed conversion ratio (P < 0.05), lower protein efficiency ratio (PER) and nitrogen retention efficiency (NRE) relative to fish fed the diet containing 50 and 100 g kg?1 lipid. Weight gain and SGR significantly increased with increasing dietary protein from 350 to 450 g kg?1 at the same dietary lipid level, and even a little decline in growth with the further increase in dietary protein to 500 g kg?1. Daily feed intake, NRE and PER were significantly affected by both dietary protein and lipid levels (P < 0.05) and tended to decrease with increasing dietary protein and lipid levels. Whole‐body protein content increased as protein levels increased and lipid levels decreased. Whole‐body lipid and muscle lipid content increased with increasing dietary lipid level, and decreased with increasing dietary protein at each lipid level. There was no significant difference in condition factor and viscerosomatic index among fish fed the diets. Hepatosomatic index was affected by dietary lipid level (P < 0.05), and increased with increasing dietary lipid level at the same protein level. These results suggest that the diet containing 450 g kg?1 protein and 50 g kg?1 lipid with a P/E ratio of 29.1 mg protein kJ?1 is optimal for growth and feed utilization of P. ussuriensis fingerlings under the experimental conditions used in the study.  相似文献

A 35 days feeding trial was conducted to assess the haemato‐immunological response of Labeo rohita fingerlings fed ethanolic leaf extracts of Psidium guajava and Mangifera indica, and infected with Aeromonas hydrophila. Six iso‐nitrogenous (354.6–361.6 g kg?1) purified diets were prepared with graded level of leaf extracts viz., control (basal feed without any extract); TG‐5 (5 g kg?1 guava extract); TG‐10 (10 g kg?1 guava extract); TM‐5 (5 g kg?1 mango extract); TM‐10 (10 g kg?1 mango extract); and TGM (5 g kg?1 guava extract +5 g kg?1 mango extract). Haematological, immunological, biochemical, along with antioxidant enzyme activities were examined after a 35 day‐feeding trial and following a 7 day challenge with A. hydrophila. The haemoglobin, total leucocyte and erythrocyte counts, respiratory burst activity, lysozyme, total protein, albumin and globulin contents increased significantly (P < 0.05) in leaf extracts fed groups compared with the control in pre‐ and post‐challenge conditions. A significant (P < 0.05) decrease was observed in SOD (superoxide dismutase) and catalase activities of the treatment groups compared with the higher value in control. The trends in mortality indicated that groups of fish showing significantly elevated haemato‐immunological responses had the lowest mortality following challenge with A. hydrophila. The results showed that extracts of P. guajava and M. indica appear to be potential immunostimulant at an inclusion level of 5 g kg?1 in the diet of rohu. But, mixing of both the extract at similar level did not show any synergistic effect, which needs to be tested at its lower level of inclusion.  相似文献

The experiment was conducted to determine the leucine requirement of juvenile Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone) in low‐salinity water (0.50–1.20 g L?1). Six diets were formulated to contain 410 g kg?1 crude protein with fish meal, peanut meal and precoated crystalline amino acids with different concentration of l ‐leucine (16.72, 19.60, 22.06, 24.79, 27.28 and 30.16 g kg?1 dry diet). Each diet was randomly assigned to triplicate groups of 30 shrimps (0.38 ± 0.002 g), and the feed trial lasted for 8 weeks. The results indicated that the maximum weight gain was observed at 24.95 g kg?1 dietary leucine group, whereas the diets containing higher leucine concentration conversely reduced the growth performance (P < 0.05). Moreover, the highest body protein content and body protein deposition and the lowest haemolymph AST and ALT activities were also found at 24.95 g kg?1 dietary leucine group. With the increase in leucine in diets, a dose‐dependent increase was found in body lipid content and haemolymph urea concentration. The polynomial regression calculated using weight gain, feed efficiency and body protein deposition indicated that the optimal dietary leucine requirement for L. vannamei reared in low‐salinity water was 23.73 g kg?1 leucine of dry diet, correspondingly 57.88 g kg?1 of dietary protein.  相似文献

The aim of the present work was to obtain the lipid utilization of Octopus vulgaris supplying formulated semi‐moist diets with different contents in cod oil (reduced from water content): 0 g kg?1 (A0, 138 g kg?1 lipids DW; N = 4), 100 g kg?1 (A100, 286 g kg?1 lipids DW; N = 6) and 200 g kg?1 (A200, 388 g kg?1 lipids DW; N = 6). The rest of the ingredients were constant in the three diets: 200 g kg?1 gelatin, 100 g kg?1 egg yolk powder, 150 g kg?1 freeze‐dried Todarodes sagittatus and 50 g kg?1 freeze‐dried Sardinella aurita). Survival was 100% with the three diets. The highest absolute feeding (15.8 ± 1.2 g day?1), growth (9.6 ± 1.4 g day?1; 0.91% BW day?1) and feed efficiency rates (60.3%) were obtained with diet A0. This diet also showed greater retention of lipid and protein than A100 and A200. Protein digestibility was above 95% in all of the diets. Only diet A0 led to a high lipid digestibility coefficient (81.25%), which fell drastically to 12.3% in A200. It was notable the high polar lipid digestibility rates (83–89%) respect to neutral lipids (2–87%) in all diets. The best results were obtained with lipid feeding rates of around 1 g day?1 and a suitable lipid content on 130–140 g kg?1 DW in formulated diets for O. vulgaris.  相似文献

Six hundred Labeo rohita (average weight, 6.78 g) were distributed in 24 tanks (25 fish per tank), which were allotted to eight experimental groups in triplicates. Half of the experimental groups were maintained at ambient water temperature of 26 °C, whereas the other half were exposed to 32 °C for 1 week then later maintained at 26 °C for 4 weeks. Fish reared under different temperature regimes were fed one of the four diets containing 200 g kg?1, 300 g kg?1, 400 g kg?1 or 450 g kg?1 protein. Growth, feed efficiency and protein retention were higher at 32 °C and continued for the next 2 weeks after decreasing the temperature. The dietary protein level and water temperature interactions were more effective in modulating the response of hepatic glucokinase than that of hexokinase and pyruvate kinase. In contrast, hepatic gluconeogenesis was not affected by rearing temperature. Hepatic aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activity was found higher (P < 0.05) at low temperature and at high protein level. It is suggested that the metabolic activities of fish are triggered by short‐term exposure to higher temperature and the increased metabolic activity extended for a duration of 3 weeks during which 400 g kg?1 dietary protein level was found to support growth of fish.  相似文献

Threonine is the third‐limiting essential amino acid in diets based on cereal ingredients. A 4‐week trial was conducted to determine the threonine requirement of large Nile tilapia based on fish growth, feed efficiency, body composition, protein and amino acid retention. Six hundred fish (563.3 ± 15.1 g) were distributed into twenty 1.2‐m3 cages. Five diets containing 288 g kg?1 of crude protein, 12.7 MJ kg?1 of digestible energy and 8.9, 10.5, 12.2, 13.7 and 15.4 g kg?1 of threonine were elaborated. Fish were hand‐fed five times a day to extruded diets. Significantly, differences in growth performance and amino acids retention among the treatments were observed. Fish fed 10.5 g kg?1 of threonine showed higher daily weight gain, gutted weight and fillet weight (P < 0.05) compared to fish fed with other experimental diets. Diets containing 8.9–15.4 g kg?1 of threonine did not affect whole body and muscle proximate composition. Based on second‐order regression analysis, the dietary threonine requirement estimated based on final gain, fillet weight and fillet yield was 12, 12.1 and 11.5 g kg?1 diet, respectively. The dietary threonine requirement for maximum fillet yield of Nile tilapia was estimated to be 11.5 g kg?1.  相似文献

The present research evaluated the effects of four feeding stimulants on feed intake (FI), growth performance, body composition, serum biochemical parameters, digestive enzyme activities and appetite‐related gene expression for juvenile GIFT tilapia. Five experimental high plant‐based diets (with 0, 0.4 g kg?1 dimethyl‐β‐propiothetin (DMPT), 0.6 g kg?1 dimethylthetin (DMT), 1.8 g kg?1 tryptophan (Trp) and 6 g kg?1 betaine (Bet), respectively supplemented) were fed to juvenile GIFT tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) (3.34 ± 0.01 g) for 8 weeks. The results showed that FI was significantly increased by Trp and DMT. The highest specific growth rate (SGR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) was observed for fish fed Bet diet, followed by DMT. Serum triglyceride was significantly increased by DMPT. Fish fed Bet diet showed significantly higher intestinal protease, liver protease and intestinal amylase activities. The neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA expression in brain was significantly improved by Trp, and ghrelin mRNA expression in stomach was significantly increased by DMT. It is concluded that supplementation of Trp or DMT could act as an effective feeding stimulants (FS) in high plant‐based diets for juvenile GIFT tilapia, which might be associated with the relatively higher orexigenic (NPY or ghrelin) genes expression, and supplementation of Bet could improve SGR, PER and reduce feed conversion ratio (FCR) of juvenile GIFT tilapia.  相似文献

This study was conducted to determine the systemic, mucosal immunity and protective capacity of the feed‐based adjuvant vaccine (FAV) of Streptococcus agalactiae following oral vaccination against streptococcosis in tilapias. Two hundred and sixteen red tilapia fish were divided into three major groups. Each major group consisted eight tilapia kept in nine 2000 L glass aquaria. At day 0, all fish from the FAV group were fed with feed that had been incorporated with an adjuvant, while fish in the feed‐based vaccine (FNV) group were fed with vaccine incorporated into the pellet without adjuvant. Fish in the control‐unvaccinated group, FC, were fed with normal commercial pellet. Booster dose was performed on day 14 post immunization. Fish from each group were sacrificed on a weekly basis for the entire 7 weeks. Serum, body mucus and gut lavage fluid were evaluated for antibody responses by indirect ELISA, while histological examination was carried out on the gut following intraperitoneal challenge. The FAV group had a significantly higher protection (P < 0.05) following challenge with 3.4 × 109 CFU mL?1 of live S. agalactiae than FNV group. This level of protection may be due to high antibody responses, increase in size of gut‐associated lymphoid tissue and high number of lymphocytes in the FAV group.  相似文献

We investigated the efficacy of praziquantel (PZQ) and fenbendazole (FBZ), each administered by bath and orally, against the monogenean Lepidotrema bidyana Murray, a gill parasite of the freshwater fish silver perch, Bidyanus bidyanus (Mitchell). PZQ and FBZ were each administered by bath at 10 mg L?1 for 48 h and on surface‐coated feed pellets at 75 mg kg?1 per body weight (BW) per day for 6 days. Bath treatments of PZQ and FBZ had an efficacy of 99% and 91%, respectively, against adult L. bidyana. Oral treatments of PZQ and FBZ had an efficacy of 79% and 95%, respectively, against adult L. bidyana. Fish rejected feed pellets surface‐coated with PZQ, suggesting that palatability of surface‐coated PZQ‐medicated feed is poor, which undermined efficacy. In all trials, some juvenile parasites were present on fish after treatment during efficacy assessment, indicating that efficacy may be lower against juvenile parasites or that recruitment occurred post‐treatment, demonstrating that repeat treatments are necessary to effectively control L. bidyana in aquaculture.  相似文献

Two trials were conducted to investigate protein requirements of juvenile (3.18 g in Trial 1) and on‐growing (87.1 g in Trial 2) gibel carp, Carassius auratus gibelio var. CAS III. Six isoenergetic diets containing 250–500 g kg?1 dietary protein were formulated using soy protein concentrate (SPC) and casein as protein sources. The results showed that weight gain (WG) increased when dietary protein increased from 250 to 400 g kg?1 and decreased at 400 to 500 g kg?1 CP in Trial 1, while WG increased when dietary protein increased from 250 to 350 g kg?1 and kept constant at 350 to 500 g kg?1 CP in Trial 2. With increasing dietary protein, feed conversion ratio (FCR) decreased, while protein retention efficiency (PRE) decreased in Trial 1 and was not affected in Trial 2. Apparent digestibility coefficient of protein (ADCp) increased with increasing dietary protein in two trails. Trypsin activity increased with dietary protein in the juveniles and was not affected in on‐growing fish. Hepatic alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities increased with dietary protein. Broken‐line and quadratic regression of WG estimated that dietary protein requirements for maximum growth were about 402–427 g kg?1 for the juvenile and 337–418 g kg?1 for on‐growing gibel carp.  相似文献

The effects of nucleotides on growth, and physiological and antioxidant parameters were evaluated by feeding Pelteobagrus fulvidraco diets supplemented with 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 1.0 or 1.5 g kg?1 of nucleotides respectively. All nucleotide groups showed higher specific growth rate, feed efficiency, protein efficiency ratio, whole‐body lipid content and serum cholesterol concentrations than the control group, but the significant difference was seen only between fish from the 1.5 g kg?1 nucleotide group and fish from the control group. Whole‐body ash content in fish from the 0.6 g kg?1 nucleotide group, and liver superoxide dismutase and catalase in fish from the 0.4 g kg?1 nucleotide group were significantly higher than those in fish from the control group. Respiratory burst activity was significantly higher in fish from the 0.6, 1.0 and 1.5 g kg?1 nucleotide groups than in fish from the control. This finding was accompanied by lower liver concentrations of thiobarbituric acid‐reacting substances in fish from the same groups compared to those from the control group. The results indicate that dietary nucleotides could improve growth and antioxidant responses in juvenile yellow catfish.  相似文献

To quantify dietary L‐tryptophan requirement of fingerling Heteropneustes fossilis (6.66 ± 0.08 g), casein–gelatin‐based isonitrogenous (38% CP) and isoenergetic (14.72 kJ g?1 DE) purified diets with eight levels of L‐tryptophan (0.12%, 0.16%, 0.20%, 0.24%, 0.28%, 0.32%, 0.36%, 0.40% dry diet) were fed to triplicate groups of fish twice daily to apparent satiation for 12 weeks. Incremental levels of dietary tryptophan from 0.12 to 0.28% significantly (P < 0.05) improved absolute weight gain (AWG; 14.3–65.9 g fish?1), feed conversion ratio (FCR; 5.9–1.5), protein retention efficiency (PRE; 6.2–32.2%), haemoglobin (Hb; 6.5 to 11.9 g dL?1) and haematocrit (Hct; 23.5–33.8%). To determine the precise information on tryptophan requirement, data were subjected to broken‐line and second‐degree polynomial regression analysis. Broken‐line regression analysis reflected highest R2 values for AWG g fish?1 (0.999), PRE% (0.993), Hb g dL?1 (0.995) and Hct% (0.993) compared with R2 values obtained using second‐degree polynomial regression analysis of AWG g fish?1(0.949), PRE% (0.890), Hb g dL?1(0.969) and Hct% (0.943), indicating that data were better fit to broken‐line regression analysis. Hence, based on broken‐line regression analysis at 95% maximum response, tryptophan requirement of fingerling H. fossilis is recommended between 0.24% and 0.27% dry diet (0.63–0.71% protein).  相似文献
