Abstract:

 The aim of this study was to determine the activity of digestive enzymes during the fry development of Rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ), which has a remarkable role in food digestion and absorption in the first feeding. The assessment of digestive enzymes activity of gastric (pepsin), pancreatic (trypsin, chymotrypsin, α-amylase and lipase) and intestinal (alkaline phosphatase) revealed that enzymes were available on the first day after hatching (DAH) but their activity showed no significant difference from hatching to day 12 (P > 0.05). An increased activity was seen between 12 and 18 DAH and this activity was significantly higher than the first 12 days (P < 0.05). In the primary stages after yolk sac absorption (after 20 to 31 days), enzymes activity showed an increased profile however none of them showed a significant difference between 20 to 31 DAH (P > 0.05). These results could be used as a basis for formulating a suitable feeding and also selecting the best time for starting the feeding so that optimum nutritional values and cost-effectiveness are achieved.

Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

Rainbow trout are classified as Oncorhynchus mykiss, and as such belong to the same genus as Pacific salmon, and to the family Salmonidae, which includes Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), various trout (Salvelinus sp.), Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus), Arctic grayling (Thymallus arcticus) and whitefish (Coregonus sp.). Rainbow trout are native to areas around the North Pacific Ocean, from souther...

Effect of bacterial single cell protein in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) diet on body composition and digestive enzymes activity

In this study, body composition and digestive enzymes activity was assessed in rainbow trout fry (weight 2.51 ± 0.55 g) fed by bacterial single cell (BSC) as a dietary protein source replaced with fish meal as completely randomized design with triplicate for 6 weeks. Experimental diets were prepared in 5 treatments as isonitrogenous with different levels of fish meal and BSC (100% fish meal (A)...

Intersex Occurrence in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Male Fry Chronically Exposed to Ethynylestradiol

This study aimed to investigate the male-to-female morphological and physiological transdifferentiation process in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to exogenous estrogens. The first objective was to elucidate whether trout develop intersex gonads under exposure to low levels of estrogen. To this end, the gonads of an all-male population of fry exposed chronically (from 60 to 136 days...

Vitellogenin receptors during vitellogenesis in the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss.

Rainbow trout vitellogenin receptors have been characterized by ligand blotting and Scatchard analysis. Their evolution has been studied over a reproductive cycle in a broodstock of 2-year-old females. The receptors were prepared from ovarian membrane homogenates and were solubilized using n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside. The visualization of the receptor by ligand blotting using 125iodine-vitel...

Protein level affects the relative lysine requirement of growing rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry.

The effect of two digestible protein levels (310 and 469 g/kg DM) on the relative lysine (Lys; g Lys/kg DM or g Lys/100 g protein) and the absolute Lys (g Lys intake/kg 0.75 per d) requirements was studied in rainbow trout fry using a dose-response trial. At each protein level, sixteen isoenergetic (22-23 MJ digestible energy/kg DM) diets were tested, involving a full range (2-70 g/kg DM) of si...
