Abstract

Copra, groundnut, soya, sunflower, rapeseed, cottonseed and leucaena meals were tested individually at various inclusion levels in comparison with a control diet (30% protein) containing fishmeal for male Sarotherodon mossambicus in a series of three trials. Despite the low feeding rates achieved in the recirculating systems used in these studies, all the protein sources except leucaena promoted reasonable growth even at high dietary inclusion levels. At the 25% plant protein level the diets containing oil-seed meals supported comparable growth to the fishmeal controls in all three trials; at the 50% level, growth rates were lower with copra, groundnut and soya. Only three sources were tested at the 100% plant protein level. All produced lower growth rates than the controls. In declining order they were cottonseed, soya and groundnut. The value of the different plant protein sources is discussed in relation to dietary essential amino acid levels and determined toxic factors.

Alternative feed technology in aquaculture
2023, Recent Advances in Aquaculture Microbial Technology
The aquaculture e feed industry is one of the flourished areas of interest among researchers, and many advanced technologies are being used in this field for better feed production. Considering the market rise for fish and shellfish, especially for human consumption, the quality and quantity of products are pivotal. Better production strategies in aquaculture depend on an effective feeding approach and quality of feed ingredients. Fish meal and fish oil are the most important protein and oil sources used in aquadiet around the world. However, the sustainability of these ingredients is in question because of the decline of fish meal and fish oil availability. In this scenario, alternative feed ingredients are needed to be developed in the aquaculture feed industry as they could limit the use of conventional use of fish meal and fish oil and may enhance the quality and quantity of aquaculture produce. Hence, the present chapter discusses the alternative feed ingredients such as nonmicrobial feed ingredients and microbe-based feed ingredients as feed additives in the aquaculture industry. Major nonmicrobial feed ingredients used in aquaculture feed preparation are plant-based feed additives, insect-based feed additives, and animal byproducts. Microbe-based feed additives mainly used in aquaculture are microbial fermentation products, beneficial microbes (direct addition as probiotics), and microbial secondary metabolites and/or microbe-derived nutrients. Broad investigation on the production of alternative feed ingredients and studies on their biological effect on fish and shellfish wellbeing will assure restricted reliance on fish meal in prospective aquaculture practice.
The efficiency of adding amino acid mixtures to a diet free of fishmeal and soybean meal as an attractant in yellow river carp (Cyprinus carpio var.)
2022, Aquaculture Reports
Five treatment groups were set up in the feeding experiment: the fishmeal diet (positive control, PC), fishmeal-free diet (negative control, NC), complex amino acid 1 (0.4% alanine, 0.5% arginine and 0.7% glycine, AA1), complex AA2 (0.4% alanine, 0.7% glycine and 0.2% histidine), and complex AA3 (0.5% arginine, 0.7% glycine and 0.2% histidine). Each treatment had 4 replicates with 40 fish (initial weight 12.81 ± 0.17 g). The results showed that compared with the NC group, the complex AA1 and AA2 attractants significantly increased the final body weight, weight gain rate, and specific growth rate and decreased the viscera index and hepatopancreatic index of yellow river carp, and the complex AA1 attractants performed better (P < 0.05). The specific growth rate of the complex AA1 attractants was significantly higher than that of NC group by 4.83%. The results of fish body composition showed that compared with the NC group, the complex AA1 attractants significantly increased the crude protein content of yellow river carp (P < 0.05). Blood biochemical indices showed that the contents of glucose and total protein in the AA1, AA2 and AA3 groups were higher than those in the NC group and lower than those in the PC group (P < 0.05). Compared with the NC group, the activities of serum lysozyme in the AA1, AA2 and AA3 groups increased by 10.36%, 13.21% and 8.86% respectively (P < 0.05). The complex AA1, AA2 and AA3 attractants increased the activities of the superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and total antioxidant capacity in the serum, liver, and gill tissue of the yellow river carp, and reduced the malondialdehyde content to a certain extent, among which the complex AA1 attractant was the best. Compared with the NC group, the addition of compound amino acid attractants in the fishmeal-free diet increased the height of the anterior intestinal fold of yellow river carp, and AA1 performed best. The thickness of the anterior intestinal muscle layer in the AA1, AA2 and AA3 groups was higher than that in the NC group to varying degrees (P < 0.05). In summary, the addition of complex amino acid attractants to a fishmeal-free diet can significantly improve the total antioxidant and immune capacity; additionally, the growth performance of yellow river carp was improved. At the same time, the addition of the complex attractant significantly increased the height of the anterior intestinal fold, indicating that the complex amino acid attractants can also promote intestinal digestion and absorption while also reducing intestinal injury. It can be concluded that the complex amino acid attractant combined with 0.4% alanine, 0.5% arginine and 0.7% glycine is more suitable when added to the fishmeal-free diet of the yellow river carp.
Nutritional pathology
2022, Fish Nutrition
The nutritional pathology of fish always reflects not just the dietary elements but also the feed formulation, balance of nutrients, and feeding system involved. Diets may induce pathologies not only because of specific deficiency but also because of toxic elements they contain, which will modify the pathophysiology of the animal. Temperature and quality of nutrition modify not only growth rate but also the speed of the various repair mechanisms and immune systems and so diet and temperature also play a role in the occurrence of pathological changes and also the rate at which they develop.
Transcriptome analysis of the influence of high plant protein based diet on Trachinotus ovatus liver
2021, Fish and Shellfish Immunology
Seeking out fish meal (FM) alternatives is an important requirement for aquaculture all over the world. And most practitioners believe that the plant protein is most potential for FM surrenal. While high plant protein feed caused some common problems in aquatic livestock: the absorption rate and growth rate are decreased, and even caused digestive tract inflammation. In present study, the inflence of high plant protien feed in Trachinotus ovatus was investigated using illumina HiSeqTM2000 based RNA-Seq. By comparing the two groups of cDNA libraries developed from high plant protien based diet or FM based diet fed T. ovatus livers, 836 unigenes were significantly upregulated, and 345 were significantly down regulated. KEGG analysis indicated that the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are mainly metabolic-related genes. It was found that more than 28 DGEs beloned to the protein metabolism and absorption, lipid biosynthesis or other metabolic pathways. It indicated that high plant protein based diet had broad effects on metabolism on T. ovatus. There were also more DEGs belong to immune-related signaling pathways, include genes were involved in pathpathogen resistance and genes related to immunity system. These DEGs provided useful clues to explore the mechanisms that high plant protein based diet caused side effects on T. ovatus. These results improved our current understanding of the response of high plant protein based diet in T. ovatus, and outstanding the reasons of the side effect caused by high protein based diet.
Effects of replacing menhaden fishmeal with cottonseed flour on growth performance, feed utilization and body composition of juvenile red drum Sciaenops ocellatus
2020, Aquaculture
Low-gossypol cottonseed flour (CSF) is a promising plant protein feedstuff to partially replace fishmeal (FM) in aquafeeds. In the present study, two feeding trials were conducted to evaluate the performance of juvenile red drum Sciaenops ocellatus fed diets with FM substituted by CSF. In feeding trial 1, the Reference diet was formulated to contain 43% crude protein equally contributed by menhaden FM and soy protein concentrate. Five experimental diets were prepared with, 0 (Reference), 25, 50, 75 and 100% of the dietary protein from FM replaced by CSF with lysine (Lys), methionine (Met) and taurine (Tau) supplemented to established requirement levels. In trial 2, the diet with 75% of FM protein replaced with CSF was supplemented with potential palatability enhancers such as glycine, fish solubles, krill meal, inosine monophosphate (IMP) and citric acid. In trials 1 and 2, diets were fed to triplicate groups of juvenile fish with average initial weights (±SEM) of 3.4 ± 0.1 and 23.3 ± 0.3 g/fish for 8 and 6 weeks, respectively. In feeding trial 1, fish responses including percent weight gain (WG), feed efficiency (FE) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) were gradually reduced with increasing levels of CSF substitution, resulting in significant (P < .05) negative linear trends. However, growth responses were not appreciably reduced until more than 50% of the FM protein was replaced with CSF. Condition factor (CF) and intraperitoneal fat ratio also significantly decreased with increasing dietary CSF levels, as did whole-body protein composition. In feeding trial 2, the WG, FE and PER tended to be improved by citric acid and IMP supplementation of the basal diet in which 75% of FM protein was replaced with CSF (CSF75), although the differences did not reach significance (P > .05). The whole-body protein of fish fed CSF75 + IMP diet was significantly (P < .05) higher than fish fed the un-supplemented CSF75 diet. In conclusion, CSF with Lys, Met and Tau supplementation was able to replace up to 50% of crude protein provided by menhaden FM in the diet without drastically affecting growth performance or body composition of red drum. Additionally, supplementation of IMP and citric acid to a diet containing higher levels of CSF tended to improve growth performance of red drum due to enhanced feed utilization.
