Effect of dietary lipid level on growth, lipid metabolism and oxidative status of largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides

Dietary Supplementation of Astaxanthin Improved the Growth Performance, Antioxidant Ability and Immune Response of Juvenile Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) Fed High-Fat Diet

“…Our previous research indicated 18.08% of dietary lipid impaired the growth of largemouth bass, Zhou et al (2020) also reported that largemouth bass fed 20% dietary lipid showed lower WG than those fed 10% dietary lipid [ 13 ]. Meanwhile, in another study, the optimal lipid requirement of largemouth bass was 18.42% [ 31 ]. The different results in lipid requirement of largemouth bass may result from the differences in diet formulation and environmental factors.…”

Effects of dietary lysolecithin on growth performance, feed utilization, intestinal morphology and metabolic responses of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

“…For example, herbivorous grass carp Ctenopharyngodon Idella fed high fish oil diets (lipid levels: 60 and 100 g/kg dry diet) resulted in decreased feed intake, poor growth performance, hepatic pathology and higher blood lipid peroxidation (Du et al, ). Also, high dietary lipid level (233 g/kg dry diet, fish oil: soybean oil = 3:7) induces oxidative stress of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides coupled with a depressed growth performance (Guo et al, ). These inevitably affect fish health condition and flesh quality of the carcass.…”

Farming largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) with lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and radicchio (Cichorium intybus) in aquaponics: effects of stocking density on fish growth and quality, and vegetable production

“…Notwithstanding water characteristics remained within acceptable limits for LMB growth, health and welfare (Brown et al, 2009), throughout the trial, fish daily growth rate (0.41 g d -1 , on average), specific growth rate (0.17% d -1 , on average) and feed conversion ratio (2.73, on average) were rather unsatisfactory (Table 2). In studies that dealt with recirculating aquaculture system tanks, LMB juveniles (15 g initial weight) reached average specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio of 3.14% per d and 1.25, respectively (Li et al, 2018;Guo et al, 2019). According to Yuan et al (2019), LMB (8 g initial weight) reared in ponds achieved a final weight of 539 g in 240 days, showing daily growth rate, specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio of 2.21 g d -1 , 1.75% per d and 0.95, respectively.…”

“…On the other hand, even if the diet used in the current study was the same offered (without problems) in the commercial farm where fish were purchased, it was little appetized and could have played a role in reducing fish growth performance (Junjie and Shengjie, 2018;Li et al, 2018;Guo et al, 2019).…”

“…Indeed, previous studies reported that largemouth bass can be farmed at largely different stocking densities and under a wide range of conditions, i.e. from 7 kg m -3 in indoor tanks (Guo et al, 2019) to 35 kg m -3 in in-pond raceway systems (Wang et al, 2019). Nevertheless, previous studies showed no effect of the stocking density on LMB performance (initial weight 36 g) farmed in in-pond raceway systems at two stocking densities (initial stocking density 2.45 vs. 4.10 kg m -3 ) (Wang et al, 2019) or in LMB (initial weight 112 g) reared in a recirculating aquaculture system and stocked at 2.24, 6.72 or 13.4 kg m -3 (Watts et al, 2016).…”
