“…Lipids, including phospholipids and essential fatty acids, are essential nutrients which significantly affect the growth and development of aquatic animals [ 15 , 52 , 53 ]. In this study, the lipid contents in the muscle of ivory shells were 1.11–1.28% of wet weight, and C22:6n3 (DHA), C20:4n6 (ARA), and C20:5n3 (EPA) were the top three PUFA, which showed similar results to previous reports [ 5 , 32 ]. As for the lipid changes, taurine supplement increased the crude lipid contents, which showed the opposite tendency with cultured fish Atlantic salmon Salmo sala [ 52 ].…”

In this study, an eight-week feeding trial was performed to investigate the effects of different taurine supplementation levels (0.0% as control, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, and 3.0%) on the growth performance, lipid composition, and antioxidant ability in juvenile ivory shells Babylonia areolata. The results showed that taurine supplementation significantly improved the specific growth rates (SGRs) and survival rates of ivory shell (except the survival rate in the 3.0% taurine diet group) (p < 0.05). The SGRs showed an increasing and then decreasing tendency with increasing dietary taurine supplementation, and the highest value was observed in the 2.0% taurine diet (2.60%/d). The taurine content in the muscle of ivory shells fed taurine-supplemented diets significantly increased when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The profiles of C22:2n6 in the muscle of ivory shells fed taurine-supplemented diets were significantly higher than in the control group (p < 0.05), and the highest values were observed in the 2.0% taurine supplementation group. The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) content in the hepatopancreas showed an increasing and then decreasing tendency with increasing dietary taurine supplementation, while the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration showed a decreasing tendency. Furthermore, the activities of pepsin and lipase in both the intestine and hepatopancreas significantly increased at moderate taurine supplementation levels compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Accordingly, obvious increases in the histological parameters in the intestine of ivory shells fed taurine-supplemented diets were also found. As for the antioxidant ability, the activities of the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) showed an increasing and then decreasing tendency with increasing dietary taurine supplementation, and the highest values were observed in the 1.0% and 1.0–2.0% taurine supplementation groups, respectively; the malondialdehyde (MDA) contents significantly decreased with increasing dietary taurine supplementation (p < 0.05). The taurine intake affected the expression of four appetite-related genes in the hepatopancreas, in which orexin and NPY showed an increasing and then decreasing tendency, while leptin and cholecyatoklnin decreased with increasing dietary taurine supplementation. In conclusion, moderate taurine supplementation in an artificial diet (about 1.5–2.0%) could improve the growth performance and antioxidant ability and change the lipid composition of juvenile ivory shells.

“…As an important fishery species, ivory shell has been widely cultured in many East and Southeast Asia countries, such as China, Vietnam, Thailand, etc. [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. In China, ivory shells are typically cultured in flow-through concrete/canvas ponds and fed with forage fish (such as Decapterus maruadsi ) [ 2 , 6 ].…”

“…The ivory shell (Babylonia areolata) is an aquatic animal widely distributed across tropical and subtropical coastal areas of the Indo-Pacific Ocean [1,2]. Recently, ivory shell culture has expanded rapidly in many East and Southeast Asia countries because of its faster growth rate, higher edible soft tissue ratio, and higher tolerance to unsuitable environmental conditions [2][3][4]. In China, the annual production of this species exceeded 20,000 tons, in which Hainan, Guangdong, Fujian, and Guangxi Provinces were the main cultural areas [5].…”

“…In China, the annual production of this species exceeded 20,000 tons, in which Hainan, Guangdong, Fujian, and Guangxi Provinces were the main cultural areas [5]. Currently, ivory shells are cultured in semi-outdoor flow-through systems and fed with forage fish (such as Decapterus maruadsi), and their breeding density is approximately 5-8 kg per square meter [3,4]. However, this type of low-tech breeding model is often affected by the fluctuation of various environmental factors, such as temperature, ammonia, and salinity, causing low growth rate and even death [2,4,6].…”

“…Zhou et al [2] showed that higher ammonia (≥5.0 mg/L) significantly depressed the ivory shells' growth performance, and the amino acid and fatty acid contents were significantly affected after long-time culture. Liu et al [4] reported that ivory shells cultured under higher-salinity conditions (35 and 40 ppt) showed obvious changes in the stress-related enzymes activities and body biochemical compositions compared to lower-salinity (20-30 ppt) groups. During their life, aquatic animals suffer from environmental variation and stress due to variables such as temperature, salinity, pH, oxygen, and ammonia [7].…”

In this study, the flavor compounds of ivory shell (Babylonia areolata) and their changes caused by ammonia and salinity stresses were studied. Ammonia stress improved the contents of free amino acids (FAAs), 5′-adenosine monophosphate (AMP), citric acid, and some mineral ions such as Na+, PO43−, and Cl−. The FAA contents decreased with increasing salinity, while the opposite results were observed in most inorganic ions (e.g., K+, Na+, Mg2+, Mn2+, PO43−, and Cl−). Hyposaline and hypersaline stresses increased the AMP and citric acid contents compared to the control group. The equivalent umami concentration (EUC) values were 3.53–5.14 g monosodium glutamate (MSG)/100 g of wet weight, and the differences in EUC values among treatments were mainly caused by AMP. Hexanal, butanoic acid, and 4-(dimethylamino)-3-hydroxy- and (E, E)-3,5-octadien-2-one were the top three volatile compounds, and their profiles were significantly affected when ivory shells were cultured under different ammonia and salinity conditions.
