Dietary fatty acid supply can affect stress response in fish during early development. Although knowledge on the mechanisms involved regulation of tolerance is scarce, it has often been hypothesised that eicosanoid profiles influence cortisol production. Genomic actions are mediated by cytosolic receptors which may respond to cellular signalling. An experiment was designed test effects feeding gilthead sea-bream larvae with four microdiets, containing graded arachidonic (ARA) levels (0·4,...
Three isonitrogenous (520 g protein kg−1 DM) and isoenergetic (25 MJ diets containing increasing levels of flaxseed oil (FxO; 0%, 40% 70% total added oil) at the expense fish (FO) were tested for 33 weeks in groups 61 individually PIT-tagged halibut (initial weight, 849 ± 99 g). Effects on growth performance, fillet nutritional sensory quality determined. Specific rate (0.2% day−1), feed conversion ratio (1.2–1.3) nitrogen energy retention not affected by dietary treatments. Dietary fatty...
Soybean lecithin (SBL), used as a phospholipid source in larval fish diets, may compromise growth and survival marine species, affect gene expression, due to differences fatty acid composition relative lecithins (ML). The potential of SBL gilthead seabream microdiets compared ML was evaluated. Two stocking densities were tested order exacerbate possible dietary effects: 5 20 larvae L(-1). Larvae reflected profiles: linoleic higher, whereas eicosapentaenoic arachidonic acids lower fed groups...
