Abstract:

Background: Determination of digestive enzymes activity would provide critical information in the design of appropriate diet. Sobaity, Sparidentex hasta is found in the Persian Gulf and  cultured in countries adjacent to it. OBJECTIVES: This study investigated proteolytic, amylase and lipase activities in the intestine of Sparidentex hasta captured from the  Persian Gulf. METHODS: 60 immature S. hasta (mean weight: 520 ± 50g) were captured during summer and autumn of 2012 from Mussa Creek, North West of the Persian Gulf. After euthanization, fish were dissected and the complete digestive tracts (from stomach to anus) were removed. The intestines were separated for each fish and divided to 3 parts; proximal, mid portion and distal. After homogenization, supernatants were removed and enzymes activities were assayed chemically. RESULTS: The highest activity of protease (395.2 ± 32.6 mU mg-1 protein) was recorded in the proximal portion of the intestine compare to the 2 other parts (p0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that the pattern of activity of digestive enzymes in S. hasta is consistent with the overall pattern of digestive enzymes activity in carnivorous fish. These data can be used to design special diets for this species.

Potential of poultry by-product meal as a main protein source in diets formulated for juvenile sobaity (Sparidentex hasta)

A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the potential of using poultry by-product meal (PBM) as a partial replacement for fish meal (FM) in the diets for juvenile sobaity. Six iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipidic diets were formulated to contain graded levels of PBM, at 0 (as control diet), 15, 25, 35, 45, and 55% of FM replacement. Each diet was fed to groups of 20 juvenile sobaity in trip...

Effects of branched-chain amino acid deficiency in diets on growth factors, pancreatic enzymes activity and whole body proximate of Sobaity seabream juvenile (Sparidentex hasta)

On the current study the effects of reducing branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) in diets of Sobaity sea bream in a constant level (40%) on growth and nutritional indices, pancreatic enzymes activity, whole body chemical proximate and amino acids, was assessed. This experiment was conducted in Marine Fish Research Station of Imam Khomeini harbor during July and August of 2014. For these purposes,...

The effect of dietary supplementation of L-carnitine on growth indices and survival rate in Sobaity seabream Sparidentex hasta

One of the major issues in aquaculture is to keep balance between growth rate of fish and optimal use of consumed food. L-carnitine is considered an effective food supplement for fish growth. Sobaity seabream is one of the commercially important species in the Persian Gulf that is highly considered in aquaculture too. Growth indices and survival rate of 240 Sobaity fingerlings with mean weight ...

Effects of soy protein base diet supplemented with lysine and methionine on digestive enzymes activity and hematological parameters in silvery-black porgy (Sparidentex hasta) juveniles

The effect of dietary partial replacement of fish meal (FM) with soybean protein (SP) alone or in combination with lysine (Lys) and methionine (Met) supplementation were tested in a 60-day feeding trial for silvery-black porgy (Sparidentex hasta) juveniles. Seven isoproteic (ca. 50% crude protein) and isoenergetic (ca. 22.4 MJ kg-1) diets were formulated in which 45% (SP45), 60% (SP60) and 75% ...

Effects of dietary soybean lecithin on growth performance, feed utilization and hematological parameters of juvenile sobaity seabream (Sparidentex hasta)

The current study aimed to evaluate effects of four levels (0, 2, 4 and 6 % of diet) of soybean lecithin in the isoproteic and isoenergitic (50% protein and 18.5 kj/g) diets on growth performance, feed utilization and hematological parameters of juvenile sobaity seabream (Sparidentex hasta) with initial weight of 37.9±0.16 g. At the end of 56 days of feeding trial, results showed that growth pe...
