“…This shows that COS can promote the growth performance of tiger puffers. Similar results have been reported in derbio, pompano ( Trachinotus ovatus ; Lin, Mao, Guan, Lin, & Luo, ), and koi ( Cyprinus carpio ; Lin, Mao, Guan, Lin, Luo, Pan, ). The growth increase in aquatic animals fed prebiotic diets may be attributed to the ability of COS to increase the length of the villi and depth of the crypt of the jejunum and ileum (Gibson & Roberfroid, ; Walsh, Sweeney, Babar, Flynn, & O'Doherty, ).…”

“…However, some researchers have observed depressed growth in rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ; Luo et al., ), tiger shrimp ( Penaeus monodon ; Niu et al., ), and tilapia ( Orechromis niloticus ; Qin, Hairui et al., ; Qin, Zhang et al., ). Some studies have shown that the mechanism of growth promotion by COS depends on the dosage, molecular weight, duration of feeding, environmental temperature, route of administration, and species; Dalmo and Bøgwald () and Lin, Mao, Guan, Lin, & Luo () thought the amounts used here were not sufficient to enhance the growth performance and that such supplementation does not actually affect the growth of fish.…”

“…Some studies of COS have already been conducted in mice (Cho et al., ; Kang et al., ; Okamoto et al., ), pigs (Wang, Yoo, Kim, & Kim, ; Yan & Kim, ) and broilers (Huang et al., ; Keser, Bilal, Kutay, Abas, & Eseceli, ; Zhou et al., ), and beneficial effects on growth performance, immunity, and blood profiles have also been reported. Among aquatic animals, COS have been reported to affect growth performance and immunity in Trachinotus ovatus (Lin, Mao, Guan, Lin, & Luo, ), Cyprinus carpio (Lin, Mao, Guan, Lin, Luo, Pan, ), Oncorhynchus mykiss (Luo et al., ), Orechromis niloticus (Qin, Hairui et al., ; Qin, Zhang et al., ), and Penaeus mondon (Niu et al., ).…”

Summary The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different dietary chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) levels on digestive enzyme activity, intestinal bacteria flora, and growth performance of the tiger puffer (Takifugu rubripes). Some 600 fish (initial body weight 129.2 ± 3.1 g) were randomly allocated into twelve 2,000‐L blue cylinder aquaria with 1,500‐L of sea water and divided into four groups (n = 3 aquaria/diet). The fish were fed experimental diets supplemented with different levels of COS (0% [control, L1], 0.05% [LC1], 0.1% [LC2], and 0.2% [LC3]) for 8 weeks. During the experiment, the water temperature was 18 ± 1°C, salinity 28 ± 0.1, pH 8.0 ± 0.1 (mean ± SD, n = 672); airstones were positioned at the bottom of the tank, dissolved oxygen content was above 7.0 mg/L, with a photoperiod of 12 hr light: 12 hr dark. The results showed that dietary COS significantly increased growth performance, intestinal‐somatic index (ISI), and intestinal protease as well as lipase activity (p < .05). However, dietary COS did not have a significant effect on the condition factor (CF), hepatosomatic index (HSI), viscerosomatic index (VSI), survival, or muscle proximate composition of tiger puffers (p > .05). High‐throughput sequencing analysis showed that COS affected the richness and diversity of intestinal microbial species. The Shannon index of intestinal bacterial flora was significantly higher in the control group than in other groups (p < .05). However, dietary COS supplementation did not alter the phyla species of intestinal bacterial flora. There were significantly more Aliivibrio and Bacillus in LC3 than in other groups, and there were significantly fewer Faecalibacterium, Escherichia, and Bacteroides than in other groups at the genus level (p < .05). It can be concluded that dietary COS can improve the growth performance and intestinal digestive enzyme activity and alter the intestinal bacterial flora in the tiger puffer, Takifugu rubripes.

“…Also, chitinase and/or chitinolytic bacteria could be added to dietary insects to improve the digestibility of the chitin-protein complexes (Kroeckel et al, 2012), as shown for tilapia fed diets containing crustacean shell (Zhang et al, 2014). Alternatively, chitin could be degraded by chemical or enzymatic methods before being added to fish diets as chito-oligosaccharides (COS), acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) or chitosan (Shiau and Yu, 1999;Se-Kwon and Niranjan, 2005;Lin et al, 2012aLin et al, , 2012b. Like chitin, low levels of these metabolites have been shown to immunostimulate fish (Hoffman et al, 1997;Lin et al, 2012a).…”

Oligochitosan (COS) and oligo-β-glucan (βOG) were prepared by gamma Co-60 irradiation of chitosan/H O and β-glucan/H O solutions. The striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) was fed diets containing 0-200 mg COS, βOG, and a mixture of COS/βOG per kg feed for 45 days, and then challenged with Edwardsiella ictaluri bacterium. The effects of supplemented COS, βOG, and a mixture of COS/βOG on immune stimulation and growth performance in striped catfish were investigated. The results indicated that when striped catfish fed with 100-200 mg COS or βOG/kg feed the growth performance was significantly improved and the mortality was considerably decreased. Furthermore, striped catfish fed with supplementation of 50 mg COS + 50 mg βOG/kg feed was the best for increasing weight gain (∼26%) and for decreasing mortality (∼38%) compared with the control group. Moreover, phagocytic activity and lysozyme activity of fish were enhanced by feeding diet-supplemented COS and/or βOG. Thus, COS and/or βOG can be potentially utilized as the immunostimulants and growth promoters for aquaculture.
