Identification of Feeding Stimulants for Tiger Puffer

Abstract: Feeding stimulants for the tiger puffer Takifugu rubripes were identified by omission test using the synthetic clam Tapes japonicus extract, based on a daily feeding rate for casein diet with each test solu tion. The amino acid fraction showed remarkably higher feeding stimulant activity than those of nucleo tide and other chemical fractions in the extract. Among 18 chemicals in the amino acid fraction, Lserine, L-aspartic acid, glycine, and L-alanine showed slightly higher activity than deionized water, but l… Show more

“…Betaine is a naturally occurring tertiary amine (trimethylglycine) present in most organisms. Its application in aquafeed has increased during the last decade, often used as a feeding stimulant for several species of fish (Mackie & Mitchell 1983; Takaoka et al. 1995; Knights 1996; Papatryphon & Soares 2000; Xue & Cui 2001) to enhance the growth performance.…”

In addition, betaine can play a role in the osmoregulation (De Vooys & Geenevasen 2002) and act as a methyl donor, which in turn may be used for the synthesis of methionine, carnitine, phosphatidyl choline and creatine, and plays a key role in protein and energy metabolism (Sheard & Zeisel 1989).…”

“…Positive feeding responses are also achieved when betaine supplements were dissolved in culture liquid. Thus, betaine is usually considered as a positive taste component of fish diets (Carr, 1976;Kolkovski, Arieli, & Tandler, 1997;Kubitza et al, 1997;Takaoka, Takii, Nakamura, Kumai, & Takeda, 1995;Virtanen, Hole, Resink, Slinning, & Junnila, 1994).…”

“…Fish production in closed systems has several advantages compared to open culture systems using floating net cages, including high productivity because of controlling water temperature, salinity, and oxygen levels, little damage from red tides, rainfall, or typhoons, and less discharge of organic wastes to the coastal environment. Previous reports for tiger puffer have focused on nutrition and disease prevention (Kanazawa et al 1980; Nakagawa et al 1986; Kakuta et al 1988; Takaoka et al 1995; Takii et al 1995a, 1995b, 1997a, 1997b; Ukawa et al 1996; Hirazawa et al 2000, 2001), and available information for developing closed aquaculture techniques is limited. Nitrogenous excretion of tiger puffer, which is needed to design water treatment units for closed systems, was estimated for 24‐g‐size fish (Kikuchi et al 1996).…”
