چکیده

The influence of dietary protein source (fishmeal, soy-protein concentrate and soy-protein concentrate supplemented with methionine) on voluntary feed intake, daily feeding rhythm and nutritive utilisation of diet was studied in the gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) fed by hand or demand feeding. Fish weighing 21 g were maintained indoors under natural conditions of temperature and photoperiod (transparent ceiling) and allowed ad libitum or self-feeding of experimental diets for 26 days, with three replicates per treatment. In the first experiment, the influence of hand or demand feeding on growth rate and feed utilisation of a fishmeal-based control diet was studied. In a second trial, involving different protein sources, fish were maintained under the experimental conditions for 6 days after 20 days training. The general composition of the experimental diets was: 45% protein, 14% lipids and 20% carbohydrates. Results showed that: (1) gilthead sea bream preferentially feed in the afternoon and evening; (2) demand feeding improved both food conversion and protein efficiency; (3) the protein source appeared to induce changes in the timing of feeding; and (4) supplements of methionine advanced the time of feeding and lengthened ingestion phases.

Effect of enviromental temperature on heat shock proteins (HSP30, HSP70, HSP90) and IGF-I mRNA expression in Sparus aurata

Ambient temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting physiological mechanisms and biochemical reactions of living organisms. Thus the effect of ambient temperature on HSPs and IGF-I gene expression levels in the liver and muscle tissues of Sparus aurata were investigated in this research. The levels of HSPs, and IGF-I gene expression of the liver and muscle of Sparus...

Feeding, physiology and growth responses in first-feeding gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) larvae in relation to prey density

21 The effects of prey density (0.1, 1 and 10 rotifer ml ) on feeding, oxygen uptake, growth, survival and energetic efficiencies in Sparus aurata larvae were investigated. Dry weights and 21 total lengths at day 15 after hatching were similar in larvae fed with 10 and 1 rotifer ml but 21 were significantly higher than in larvae fed with 0.1 rotifer ml . These differences were a consequence of ...

Gluconeogenic enzyme gene expression is decreased by dietary carbohydrates in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata).

Our objective is to understand the low metabolic utilization of dietary carbohydrates in fish. We compared the regulation of gluconeogenic enzymes at a molecular level in two fish species, the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), known to be relatively tolerant to dietary carbohydrates. After cloning of partial cDNA sequences for three key gluconeogenic enzymes (...

Seabream (Sparus aurata) long-term dominant-subordinate interplay affects phagocytosis by peritoneal cavity cells.

Fish are sensitive to stressful conditions that affect their innate immune systems and increase their susceptibility to diseases. We examined the social stress of paired gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata). Social hierarchies (dominant/subordinate) were characterised by behavioural changes, such as "aggressiveness" and "feeding order"; hierarchical positions were established within an hour of exp...

The kinetics of nutrient incorporation into body tissues of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) females and the subsequent effects on egg composition and egg quality.

The interaction between essential dietary components and changes in tissue nutrient reserves, egg quality and egg composition, were studied from 60 d before and during the spawning of Sparus aurata broodstock. Fish were given isonitrogenous (550 g/kg dry weight) and isolipidic (100 g/kg dry weight) diets, based on protein and lipid extracts of squid meal. Diets differed in the levels of n-6 (10...
