Influence of dietary phospholipid on growth performance, body composition, antioxidant capacity and lipid metabolism of Chinese mitten crab, Eriocheir sinensis

The effects of soy lecithin–enriched Artemia on growth and survival of the early stages of green tiger shrimp (Penaeus semisulcatus)

“…Also, the present study, fed diets with 3-4% level lecithin had higher DHA contents in whole body with a decrease in C18:1n-9. Similar results were also observed in Eriocheir sinensis (Lin et al 2020) and P. trituberculatus (Li et al 2014). The positive effects of phospholipid to the diets are also associated with the specific content of phospholipids (choline, inositol, and unsaturated fatty acids), and the transport of phosphine lipid in diets (Coutteau et al 1997).…”

“…The positive effects of phospholipid to the diets are also associated with the specific content of phospholipids (choline, inositol, and unsaturated fatty acids), and the transport of phosphine lipid in diets (Coutteau et al 1997). Phospholipids have been suggested to act as an emulsifier to improve lipid transport in the intestine and the absorption of LC-PUFA (Li et al 2016;Lin et al 2020). Another study also showed that dietary phospholipids could improve lipid transport and increase the efficiency of LC-PUFA absorption (Li et al 2016;Lin et al 2020).…”

“…PL are the lipid-containing phosphorus such as phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phatidylinositol (PI), and phosphatidylserine (PS) (Tocher et al 2008). The beneficial effects of dietary PL on survival, growth, molting, and resistance to stress have been reported on crustaceans (Gong et al 2000(Gong et al , 2001Roy et al 2006;Wu et al 2009Wu et al , 2010Wu et al , 2011Wang et al 2016;Li et al 2014Li et al , 2016Lin et al 2020). As a major well-known phospholipid, lecithin plays an important role in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in fish liver and carries fatty acids as an emulsifier in the body and in biological absorption systems (Steffens 1989;Tacon 1990;Akiyama et al 1992).…”

“…Dietary manipulation using phospholipid-rich lecithin has been shown to be a potential growth and performance enhancer in the development of Penaeus japonicus (Kanazawa et al 1985;Teshima et al 1983Teshima et al , 1986Kontara et al 1997); P. monodon: Paibulkichakul et al 1998);Litopenaeus v. (González-Félix et al 2002;Roy et al 2006;Sanchez et al 2014); P. merguiensis (Thongrod and Boonyaratpalin 1998); and Eriocheir sinensis (Wu et al 2011;Lin et al 2020). Also, some studies have demonstrated that the source of PL can influence the growth performance of aquatic animals due to the difference of antioxidant capacity and fatty acid profile in the diet (Miyashita et al 1994;Nara et al 1997;Hamza et al 2012;Azarm et al 2013;Li et al 2014).…”

“…The reported values range from 1 to 3% for crustaceans and between 1.5 and 12% for fish (NRC 2011). While investigations concerning the dietary lecithin requirements of certain post-larvae and juvenile crustacean have been extensively conducted (Thongrod and Boonyaratpalin 1998;González-Félix et al 2002;Roy et al 2006;Lin et al 2020), there is a pressing need for further nutritional research on the effects of lecithin in early life stages of marine crustaceans.…”
