چکیده

Cultured largemouth bass (LMB) cannot be sold as food in some lucrative markets due to regulatory restrictions that protect wild LMB. Distinguishing between cultured and wild fish could open food markets for cultured fish. Wild LMB eat freshwater fish and cultured LMB eat diets high in marine fish meal and oil, which should produce differences in flesh composition. We analyzed the proximate and fatty acid composition of wild and cultured LMB muscle to determine the potential for distinguishing fish origin analytically. Protein and moisture were higher in wild fish, while lipid was higher in cultured fish. The n-3 and n-6 fatty acids, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), and the ratio of n-3 to n-6 fatty acids all differed between cultured and wild fish. The n-3 to n-6 ratio and n-3 LC-PUFA were higher in cultured fish, while elevated arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) in wild fish was a key distinguishing feature.

Impacts of gamma radiation on nutritional components of minimal processed cultured sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

  Eviscerated sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax were irradiated by Cobalt-60 at commercial irradiation facility at dose of 2.5 and 5 kGy at 2–4°C. The influences of the irradiation on proximate, fatty acid and amino acid composition in cultured sea bass were investigated. Significant differences (P < 0.0.5) were found between non-irradiated and irradiated sea bass in terms of moisture, protein, fa...

Effect of catch-and-release angling on growth of largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides

Catch-and-release angling is popular in many parts of the world and plays an increasingly important role in management of recreational fisheries. Although the magnitude of catch-and-release mortality is well documented for many species, potential sublethal effects have been little studied. An experiment was conducted to assess directly the effects of catch-and-release angling on growth of large...

Identification, Molecular Cloning of IL-1β and Its Expression Profile during Nocardia seriolae Infection in Largemouth Bass, Micropterus salmoides

In the present study, IL-1β cDNA was identified and analyzed from largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Full length IL-1β mRNA was obtained using Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends (RACE), which contains 78 bp 3'-UTR, a 455 bp 5'-UTR, and an open reading frame (ORF) of 702 bp coding for 233 amino acid residues. The molecular weight and theoretical isoelectric point of largemouth bass IL-1β pro...

Survival of Foul-Hooked Largemouth Bass(Micropterus salmoides)

We conducted a field experiment to determine the survival rate of foul-hooked (hooked external to the oral cavity) largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) caught and released by recreational anglers. Of 42 largemouth bass caught with hard-plastic baits containing three treble hooks, 15 were hooked only within the mouth and 27 had at least one hook penetrating the external surface of the fish (i...
