Effect of dietary (n-3) highly unsaturated fatty acids on growth and survival of fat snook (Centropomus parallelus, Pisces: Centropomidae) larvae during first feeding

Abstract: The effect of rotifers, Brachionus rotundiformis (S-type), fed three different diets: A (rotifer fed Nannochloropsis oculata), B (rotifer fed N. oculata and bakers yeast, 1:1), and C (rotifer fed N. oculata and bakers yeast, 1:1, and enriched with Selco â ), was evaluated based on the survival, growth and swim bladder inflation rate of fat snook larvae. Rotifers of treatment A had higher levels (4.58 mg/g dry weight) of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) than B (1.81 mg/g dry weight), and similar levels (0.04 and 0.0… Show more

“…On the other hand, inclusion of dietary DHA did not significantly affect S. rivoliana larval growth. Similar results have been reported in other marine teleost species, such as S. aurata (Hernández‐Cruz et al., ; Izquierdo et al., ), P. pagrus (Roo et al., ), Coryphaena hippurus (Kraul, ) and Centropomus parallelus (Seifert, Cerqueira & Madureira, ), where fish performance was not influenced by increasing dietary levels of DHA. Contrarily to what could be expected taking into account other studies from the Seriola genus (Furuita, Takeuchi, Watanabe et al., ; Matsunari et al., ; Takeuchi et al., ), larval growth was slightly higher among the larvae fed the lowest DHA dietary content (Diet DHA0; 0.25% DHA, dw), albeit no significant differences were observed.…”

“…Moreover, increase in the dietary DHA content well over the requirements did not cause negative effects in gilthead sea bream larval survival in agreement with the results obtained in other species (Kraul ; Seiffert et al . ). However, a DHA increase from 1 to 5% in similar early‐weaning diets for European sea bass negatively affected larval survival (Betancor et al .…”

“…However, this change of prey did not improve larvae survival, which was very low in all treatments (from 0.2% to 2.4%) 2 weeks after hatching. Another first-feeding experiment tested the dietary value of the rotifer fed microalgae, baker's yeast or a commercial emulsion (Seiffert et al 2001). Yolk-sac larvae, obtained through hCG induction of wild broodfish, were stocked in 36-l tanks at a density of 30 l -1 .…”
