Effect of dietary lipid level on growth performance and feed utilization by European sea bass juveniles (Dicentrarchus labrax)

Nutritional homeostasis in carnivorous southern catfish (Silurus meridionalis): is there a mechanism for increased energy expenditure during carbohydrate overfeeding?

“…Similar results have been reported in rats when fed unwanted carbohydrate (Curcio et al, 1998;Even et al, 2003). Generally speaking, the dietary protein had a higher SDA coefficient compared to dietary lipid and carbohydrate in studies on fishes (Tandler and Beamish, 1979;Jobling and Davies, 1980;Peres and Oliva-Teles, 2001). Harper (1971) suggested the SDA coefficients of protein, lipid and carbohydrate were 30%, 13% and 5%, respectively.…”

Effects of dietary carbohydrate/lipid ratios on growth, body composition, and nutrient utilization of hybrid catfish (Pseudoplatystoma reticulatum x Leiarius marmoratus)

“…Because of that, DFC was the same for all treatments. According to Peres and Oliva-Teles (1999), feed intake for a 24% lipid diet seemed to be regulated by protein rather than by energy intake in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax).…”

Compared to fish oil alone, a corn and fish oil mixture decreases the lipid requirement of a freshwater fish species, Carassius auratus gibelio

“…For marine species, fish oil may be the suitable dietary lipid source, but for these freshwater species, plant oil may be the reasonable diet lipid source as well as fish oil (De Silva et al, 2010;Gunstone and Harwood, 2007;Tocher, 2010;Turchini et al, 2009). Numerous studies have investigated the use of plant oil to replace fish oil in the formulation of aqua-feeds of cultured species in recent years; however, dietary lipid requirement data obtained for most freshwater or marine cultured species were based on fish oil as the lipid source (Ghanawi et al, 2011;Pei et al, 2004;Peres and Oliva-Teles, 1999). It is unknown, in general, whether the previously obtained lipid requirement concentrations based on fish oil require adjustments in view of the replacement of fish oil by plant oil.…”
