This study evaluates the inclusion of lycopene in the commercial diet for Nile Tilapia exposured to a stressor. For 60 days, fish diet was supplemented with lycopene (600 mg kg^?1 diet) and at the end, subjected to confinement for 90 min. Zootechnical parameters (weight gain, specific growth rate and intake), hormonal (cortisol level), biochemical {enzyme activity and lipid peroxidation level [thiobarbituric acid (TBARS)]} and physical (instrumental colour) parameters were also evaluated. Supplementation with lycopene did not alter zootechnical parameters. In unconfined fish, catalase (CAT) activity was reduced in the white muscle of fish fed with lycopene; however, in red muscle, it was not altered. In fish under confinement, plasma cortisol increased as well as CAT, glutathione reductase (GR) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in both muscles. Lipid peroxidation of the fillet also displayed higher values. However, the lycopene supplementation abolished the effects of confinement available through cortisol levels, remaining unchanged in the above parameters, activity of CAT, GR and LDH in both muscles and TBARS content of the fillet; in addition, it did not induce alteration of fillet coloration. Inclusion of lycopene in commercial feed reduces the impact of confinement and does not alter the zootechnical parameters; additionally, no modification of the fillet colour from juvenile Nile tilapia was observed.  相似文献

An 8‐week feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on growth performance, muscle fatty acid profile, hepatic intermediary metabolism and antioxidant responses in genetically improved farmed Tilapia (GIFT) strain of Oreochromis niloticus (initial body weight: 42.6 ± 0.4 g, mean ± standard deviation). Three replicated groups of GIFT strain of Nile tilapia were hand‐fed to satiation, twice a day, with the diets in which CLA oil, containing mainly the bioactive cis‐9, trans‐11 and trans‐10, cis‐12 isomers, was included at 0 (control), 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 2.5%, respectively, at the expense of fish oil to maintain the constant lipid and energy levels. Growth performance and feed utilization showed no significant differences among the treatments (P > 0.05). The dietary inclusion of CLA modified total percentages of the main groups of fatty acids. Increasing saturated fatty acid content and reduced mono‐unsaturated fatty acid contents in muscle were observed with increasing dietary CLA inclusion (P < 0.05). Total n‐3 fatty acids and total polyunsaturated fatty acids tended to decline with increasing dietary CLA levels (P < 0.05), but n‐6 fatty acids showed no significant differences among the treatments (P > 0.05). Dietary CLA supplementation resulted in the significant increase in the trans‐10, cis‐12 and cis‐9, trans‐11 CLA isomers in muscle (P < 0.05) and also significantly influenced several hepatic enzymatic activities, such as succinate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, malic dehydrogenase, lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities (P < 0.05). Reduced superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities, and the decline in malondialdehyde levels were observed in fish fed the CLA‐supplemented diets (P < 0.05), indicating that dietary CLA supplementation showed a powerful antioxidant effect for this fish species. Our study was the first report involved in the effect of dietary CLA inclusion on hepatic intermediary metabolism and antioxidant responses in fish, which could be used as indicators of nutritional and physiological status of the fish species.  相似文献   

不同循环饥饿投喂模式对尼罗罗非鱼补偿生长的影响   总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3  

李建  王琨  陈建春  叶继丹 《水产学报》2014,38(6):869-876

为了探讨尼罗罗非鱼对不同循环饥饿投喂模式的补偿生长效应,本实验分别采用每天投喂(S0)及饥饿1 d+投喂3 d(S1F3)、饥饿1 d+投喂5 d(S1F5)、饥饿1 d+投喂7 d(S1F7)、饥饿2 d+投喂3 d(S2F3)、饥饿2 d+投喂5 d(S2F5)和饥饿2 d+投喂7 d(S2F7)6种不同的循环投喂模式,用含33%蛋白质和8%脂肪的饲料饲养尼罗罗非鱼(均重13.50 g),饲喂期为43 d。结果显示,S0组的增重率(806.74%)最高,与S1F3、S1F5和S1F7组差异不显著,但分别比S2F3、S2F5和S2F7组显著提高40.3%、33.6%和10.4%;S0组的特定生长率最低(5.36%),显著低于其他各组;与对照组相比,采用循环投喂模式没有改善饲料转化率和蛋白质效率,但却能明显提高日摄食率;各实验处理组肝体比、脏体比、肥满度、鱼体灰分含量、肌肉RNA/DNA比值及血清总胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇和尿素氮含量与对照组差异不显著;S1F3、S1F5和S1F7组鱼体蛋白质和脂肪含量、血清甘油三酯含量及血清谷丙转氨酶和谷草转氨酶活性与S0组差异不显著,但S2F3、S2F5和S2F7组鱼体蛋白质和脂肪含量及血清甘油三酯含量显著低于S0组,血清谷丙转氨酶和谷草转氨酶活性显著高于S0组。研究表明,尼罗罗非鱼在S1F3、S1F5和S1F7模式下获得了完全补偿生长,而在S2F3、S2F5和S2F7模式下仅获得了部分补偿生长,且均是通过提高恢复投喂期间的摄食量来实现补偿生长。在获得完全补偿生长的3组中,S1F3组的实际投喂天数最短,仅为33 d,比每天投喂模式缩短了23.3%,因此在本实验条件下,饥饿1 d+投喂3 d是最佳的循环饥饿投喂模式。  相似文献

Streptococcus agalactiae is an emerging pathogen of fish and has caused significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The main objective of this study is to assess whether pathogenic differences exist among isolates from different geographic locations. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) were administered an intraperitoneal injection of suspension containing USA, Brazil, Honduras, Israel, or Kuwait S. agalactiae isolates at concentrations ranging from 10² to 10⁷ cfu mL^?1. The LD₅₀ values 7 days after challenge were as follows: USA (1.0 × 10² cfu mL^?1), Brazil (1.5 × 10³ cfu mL^?1), Honduras (6.8 × 10³ cfu mL^?1), Israel (1.0 × 10⁴ cfu mL^?1) and Kuwait (7.2 × 10⁵ cfu mL^?1). Fish from all groups exhibited lethargy, anorexia, exophthalmia, corneal opacity, erratic swimming, petechiae and mortality. Opercular clearing and ascites were only found after infection with certain geographic isolates. The findings in this study indicate that S. agalactiae isolates of different geographic origin can cause significant mortalities after experimental challenge and can have different pathogenic capacities. Isolates from the Americas (USA, Brazil and Honduras) were more pathogenic to Nile tilapia than isolates from the Middle East/Asia (Israel and Kuwait).  相似文献   

Combined effects of temperature and salinity on yolk utilization in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)          下载免费PDF全文

Wang Hui  Liang Guodong  Liu Jiahui  Yang Hongshuai  Qiang Jun  Xu Pao 《Aquaculture Research》2015,46(10):2418-2425

The combined effects of temperature and salinity on the yolk utilization of sac fry in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were investigated using central composite experimental design and response surface approach. Based on the preliminary trials, temperature was determined to range from 22 to 34°C, and salinity ranging from 2 ppt to 10 ppt. The utilization was mensurated in terms of yolk sac volume. Results showed that the linear effects of temperature and salinity on the yolk utilization was significant (P < 0.01); the quadratic effects of and the interaction between the two factors were significant (P < 0.05); temperature was more important than salinity in influencing the yolk utilization. The model equation of yolk sac volume towards temperature and salinity was established. From those high R² values, the model had excellent goodness of fit to experimental data and could be applied for predictive purpose. What with the production cost, it is suggested that the temperature/salinity combination, i.e. 28–30°C/4–6 ppt, be employed during the period of sac fry rearing, in which the yolk utilization was on average 98.6%.  相似文献

The effect of various dietary starch to proteins ratios (STA/P) on growth performance, oxidative status and liver enzyme activities involved in intermediary metabolism in juvenile Nile tilapia was evaluated. Four isocaloric‐practical diets (12.73 MJ kg^?1 digestible energy) with increasing STA/CP ratios were formulated. These were designated D₀ (344 g crude protein (CP) and 163.5 g starch (STA) kg^?1), D₁ (310 g CP and 243 g STA kg^?1), D₂ (258 g CP and 322 g STA kg^?1) and D₃ (214 g CP and 401 g STA kg^?1). Each diet was fed to triplicate groups of 60 fish (2.7 g) for 45 days. Compared with the control diet (D₀), significantly (P < 0.05) depressed growth and feed efficiency were observed only in the groups fed on diet D₃. The activities of hepatic enzymes involved in glycolysis and lipogenesis pathways were significantly enhanced in groups fed on diet D₃ compared with other diets. A significant (P < 0.05) increase in catalase activity was detected only in groups fed on diet D₃. Similarly, a significant (P < 0.05) enhancement in superoxyde dismutase, glutathione S‐transferases and glutathione peroxidise was observed in groups fed on diets D₂ and D₃ compared with other diets. Results demonstrate the ability of juvenile Nile tilapia to spare protein by dietary carbohydrate.  相似文献   

Time related alterations in digestibility and faecal characteristics as affected by dietary composition in the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.)          下载免费PDF全文

A Keramat Amirkolaie  J W Schrama 《Aquaculture Research》2015,46(5):1078-1086

After being shifted to a new diet, time related alterations in digestibility, faecal waste production and faeces recovery in Nile tilapia were assessed in relation with dietary ingredient composition. Four experimental diets were formulated according to a 2 by 2 factorial design: two starch inclusion levels (20 or 40%) and two maize starch types (native versus gelatinized). After introduction to the experimental diets, faeces were collected weekly from Week 2 till 6 using settling tanks. Digestibility of ash, organic matter and dry matter increased with time (P < 0.001). For organic and dry matter the time related alteration in digestibility were different between both starch types (P < 0.05). All faecal waste characteristics altered with time (P < 0.01). The incline in faeces recovery with time was affected by starch type (P < 0.01); being the largest at the 40% gelatinized maize diet. In conclusion, the minimal length of the adaptation period in digestibility studies for obtaining unbiased digestibility estimates is dependent on diet composition, in this study with Nile tilapia 4 weeks for diets with gelatinized starch and 6 weeks with native starch.  相似文献
