    Abstract: The present study was aimed at evaluating the effects of the feed additive curcumin on the growth and non-specific immune responses in juvenile Wuchang bream (Megalobrama amblycephala). Six experimental diets were formulated to contain graded curcumin levels (0, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 240 mg/kg of diet, respectively). After 60 days feeding trial, fish fed the 60 mg/kg curcumin diet had significantly higher weight gain rate (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR), and significantly lower feed conversion ratio (FCR) than the control group. The number of leucocytes (WBC), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), alternative pathway of complement (ACH50), and respiratory burst activity increased with increasing dietary curcumin levels up to 60 mg/kg, and thereafter declined. Significantly lower alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) activities were observed in fish fed the 60 mg/kg curcumin diet compared to those in the control group. Fish fed with the diets containing 60 and 120 mg/kg curcumin had significantly higher TNF-α and ACH50 activities than those in the control, and the fish fed diets supplemented with 60 and 240 mg/kg curcumin had significantly higher IL-1β activities than those in the control. The results suggest that appropriate dietary curcumin supplementation (60 mg/kg curcumin of diet) significantly improved growth and non-specific immune responses in juvenile M. amblycephala.

    Abstract: The effects of dietary arachidonic acid (ARA) levels on growth performance, whole-body proximate composition, digestive enzyme activities, and gut morphology were studied in juvenile golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus. Six diets were formulated with six levels of ARA. Fish were fed twice daily to apparent satiation for 56 days (8 weeks). Weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), protein efficiency ratio (PER), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and viscerosomatic index (VSI) were significantly affected by dietary ARA levels (P 〈 0.05). WG, SGR and PER increased with the increasing levels of ARA (P 〈 0.05), and thereafter slightly declined (P 〉 0.05); they were highest in fish fed the diet with 0.51% ARA and the lowest in fish fed the diet containing 0.15% ARA. Linear regression analysis on SGR indicated that the recommended optimum dietary ARA level for optimal growth of juvenile golden pompano was 0.53%. Whole body protein significantly declined when dietary ARA levels increased from 0.15% to 0.88% (P 〈 0.05), and were lowest in fish fed the diet containing 0.88% ARA. The whole body lipid content showed an opposite trend compared with whole body protein. Pepsin activities showed no significant differences among treatments (P 〉 0.05), while lipase activities of fish were significantly influenced by dietary ARA levels (P 〈 0.05). The number of goblet cells and intestinal villus length increased with increasing levels of ARA from 0.15% to 0.51% (P 〈 0.05), and decreased thereafter. Goblet cells of fish fed diets with 0.36%, 0.51%, 0.71% ARA were higher than in the other groups (P 〈 0.05).

    Abstract: Enteritis has resulted in large economic losses in channel catfish aquaculture. Yet only scarce information is available on Plesiomonas shigelloides as a causal agent for this disease. In this study, a virulent strain, temporarily named BD1, was isolated from diseased channel catfish suffering from enteritis, and was identified as P. shigelloides through molecular and phenotypic methods. A phylogenetic tree was also constructed to determine its taxonomic position. In addition, the BD1 isolate has developed multiple resistances to aminoglycosides, amphenicols, quinolones, tetracyclines and sulfonamides drugs for veterinary uses in aquaculture as revealed when screened against a range of common antibiotics. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of P. shigelloides as a potential pathogen of enteritis in channel catfish.

    Abstract: An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary emodin supplementation on growth, non-specific immunity, and protection against Aeromonas hydrophila infection in juvenile Megalobrama amblycephala. A basal diet was supplemented with 0 (control), 15, 30, 60 and 120 mg emodin/kg to formulate five experimental diets. Each diet was randomly allocated to triplicate tanks of fish in a circulating water system (initial average weight 3.49±0.045g, 25 fish per tank). At the end of the feeding trial, fish fed the diet supplemented with 0 and 120 mg emodin/kg had lower weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) than those in the other treatment groups, but no significant differences were observed among diets supplemented with emodin from 15 to 60 mg/kg. A significant increase on feed conversion ratio (FCR) of fish fed diet supplemented with 120 mg emodin/kg was observed. The white blood cell count (WBC), respiratory burst activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) activity first increased and then decreased with increase of the dietary emodin levels. Fish fed the 30 mg emodin/kg supplemented diet had higher WBC, respiratory burst activity, SOD and TNF-α activity, and lower MDA content, than fish fed diets supplemented with 0 and 120 mg emodin/kg. In the bacteria challenge experiment with A. hydrophila, fish fed a diet supplemented with 30 and 60 mg/kg had a lower cumulative mortality rate than the control group. These results indicated that appropriate dietary emodin supplementation (especially 30 mg emodin/kg diet) could enhance the growth and immune responses of fish and improve resistance to infection by A. hydrophila.

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different oils on growth performance of juvenile Anguilla marmorata. Five isonitrogenous and isoenergetic experimental diets were formulated to contain fish oil (FO), sunflower oil (SFO), peanut oil (PO), corn oil (CO) and soybean oil (SBO), respectively, as lipid sources each at an inclusion level of 50 g/kg. The diets were fed to apparent satiation for 10 weeks, twice a day to triplicate tanks of 30 fish each with an initial body weight 6.00±0.06 g. Weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) of fish fed the FO and SBO diets were markedly higher than those fed the CO diet, while no other difference in WG and SGR were observed among other treatments. Fish fed FO and SBO diets had better feed utilization than the other diet fish groups. Muscle of fish fed the FO diet had significantly higher levels of C20:5n-3 and n-3/n-6 ratio compared with fish fed vegetable oil (VO) diets, while muscle n-6 PUFA and C18:2n-6 content showed an opposite trend. The present results suggest that soybean oil is a suitable replacement for fish oil for Anguilla marmorata.

    Abstract: A feeding experiment was carried out to develop a practical diet with low fishmeal for juvenile golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) by substituting fishmeal protein with soybean products mixture. Six isocaloric (17.6 KJ g−1) diets were designed by replacing 0 (FM100), 5 (FM95), 10 (FM90), 15 (FM85), 20 (FM80), and 25% (FM75) of the fishmeal with soybean products mixture (SPM) (soybean meal and soybean protein concentrate). The experiment diets were supplemented with 1.5%, 3%, 4.5%, 6% and 7.5% squid paste as attractants or palatability enhancer. The experimental fish (6.9 g) were cultured in sea cages (1.0 m × 1.0 m × 1.5 m) with 25 fish in each cage. Fish were fed the corresponding experimental diets to satiation twice daily for 8 weeks. At the end of the feeding experiment, no differences were found in the final weight and weight gain (WG) of fish fed FM100, FM85, FM80, and FM75 diets (P 〉 0.05). The WG was significantly (P 〈 0.05) better in the fish-fed FM95 diet compared to FM100 and FM75 diets. FCR in diet FM95 and FM90 was significantly (P 〈 0.05) than that of FM80 and FM75, but these values were not significantly different from those in other treatments. Although the condition factor value in diets FM90, FM85, and FM80 was significantly (P 〈 0.05) higher than that of FM100, these values were not significantly different from the rest of the other groups. There was no statistical difference in SGR, FR, VSI, and survival rates among different dietary treatments. The plasma AST activity was significantly lower in fish fed FM90 diet compared to fish fed with control, FM85, FM80, and FM75 (P 〈 0.05). There was no significant difference in plasma AST among all dietary treatments except FM95 and FM90. In contrast, the plasma AKP activity showed the opposite trend. Compared with the control, the fish-fed FM80 and FM75 diets had significantly decreased plasma cholesterol, triglyceride total protein, albumin, and globulin level (P 〈 0.05) while significantly increasing plasma COR levels (P 〈 0.05). There was no significant difference in ALT, Urea and glucose values among all treatments. No statistical difference was observed among the FM100, FM80, and FM75 treatments for those of plasma LYZ activity, C3, and C4 levels. The hepatic T-AOC and SOD activities were significantly increased in fish fed the FM90 diet (P 〈 0.05) compared to those in fish fed with FM100 diet. According to the current experiment, it can be concluded that SPM supplemented with SP could partially substitute fishmeal (25%) for juvenile golden pompano without any adverse symptoms.

    Abstract: The ability of black Carp Mylopharyngodon piceus, to utilize high levels of dietary carbohydrate was assessed using artificial purified feed, containing normal (20%, NS group) and high (40%, HS group) levels of digestible carbohydrate. After a 10 week feeding trial, specific growth rate, weight gain rate, and protein efficiency ratio of the HS group were significantly lower (P 〈 0.05). The 40% carbohydrate diet significantly influenced the crude protein and crude fat levels in the muscle tissue (P 〈 0.05). Plasma cortisol of the HS group was significantly lower (P 〈 0.05), and levels of plasma triglycerides and total cholesterol were highly significantly lower (P 〈 0.01). Hepatic superoxide dismutase concentrations of the HS group were lower (P 〈 0.05), and contents of the carbohydrate metabolic enzyme, hepatic pyruvate kinase were highly significantly lower (P 〈 0.01). Hepatic ultrastructure results show that the high carbohydrate diet induced sedimentation of glucose and fat in the hepatic cells, and ultrastructural damage was observed. Although Mylopharyngodon piceus are able to tolerate long-term feeding of the 40% carbohydrate diet, effects on growth and immunity were negative resulting in ultrastructural damage of the hepatic cells.
