“…In the slipper limpet Crepidula fornicata , which reproduces from February to October, the foot and visceral mass of females showed different fatty acid compositions, as previously reported in other gastropod species [55,56]. Furthermore, both tissues showed different seasonal patterns along the reproductive period (Figure 4A and B).…”

Seasonal Variations in Maternal Provisioning of Crepidula fornicata (Gastropoda): Fatty Acid Composition of Females, Embryos and Larvae

Recruitment success of marine invertebrate populations not only depends on the number of recruits but also on their quality which affects their survival. In species characterized by a mixed development (encapsulated embryonic development and release of planktotrophic larvae), the offspring quality depends on both maternal provisioning and larval feeding. Here, we investigated potential changes of maternal provisioning over the whole reproductive period in a gastropod with a mixed development: Crepidula fornicata . In its introduction area, C . fornicata reproduces from February to October, which implies that both adults and larvae are exposed to different food availabilities. Maternal provisioning was assessed by measuring the fatty acid (FA) composition of females, encapsulated embryos and larvae, in February, May, July and September 2009. FA are essential resources for the development of embryos and larvae, and are key biomarkers of offspring quality. Our results showed differences in FA composition between muscles, visceral masses, and encapsulated embryos. In particular, FA composition of embryos was similar to that of the visceral mass. Seasonal variations in FA composition were observed: in the middle of the reproductive season (May and July), female tissues and embryos showed a higher proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids and especially ω3, as compared to the beginning and end of the reproductive season (February and September). This showed that through maternal provisioning the quality of C . fornicata offspring was higher in the middle of the reproductive season. Whether this would result in an increase of recruitment success and juvenile performance would require further investigations.

“…Our finding supported the belief that feeding behavior and diet compositions influenced the fatty acid composition of these three herbivorous species. Similar high ARA levels have been reported for other herbivorous fish and mollusk species that consume mainly algae, such as Turbo cornutus [26], Crassostrea gigas, [27], Siganus canaliculatus [22], Siganus rivulatus and Siganus luridus [28]. Moreover, surprisingly high ARA levels were also observed in Epinephelinae species, which are the predominant carnivorous predatory fish in coral reef environments, eating mainly small young and juvenile herbivorous fish such as Siganidae species [32].…”

“…On the other hand, only trace amounts of n-6 PUFA, such as AA, are detected in marine fish [18]. However, there are several other marine species that contain comparatively high levels of n-6 PUFA in theirs lipids, including some kinds of algae [24,25] and herbivorous species such as abalone [26] and oyster [27].…”

The lipid and fatty acid compositions in the various organs (muscle, liver, other viscera) and stomach contents of three common herbivorous fish species in Japan, Siganus fuscescens, Calotomus japonicus and Kyphosus bigibbus, were examined to explore the stable 20:4n-6 (arachidonic acid, ARA) sources. Triacylglycerol (TAG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn), and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) were the dominant lipid classes, while the major FA contents were 16:0, 18:1n-9, 16:1n-7, 14:0, 18:0, 18:1n-7, and some PUFA, including ARA, 20:5n-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA), 22:5n-3 (docosapentaenoic acid, DPA), and 22:6n-3 (docosahexaenoic acid, DHA). The amounts of these fatty acids were varied among species and their lipid classes. Phospholipids contained higher levels of PUFA than TAG. However, ARA in both phospholipids and TAG was markedly present in the muscle and viscera of all specimens, particularly in C. japonicus and K. bigibbus. Moreover, their ARA levels were higher than the levels of DHA and EPA. The observed high ARA level is unusual in marine fish and might be characteristic of herbivorous fish. Furthermore, ARA was the dominant PUFA in the stomach contents of the three species, suggesting that the high ARA level originated from their food sources. The above indicates that these three herbivorous fishes are ARA-rich marine foods and have potential utilization as stable ARA resources.

“…More controlled feeding studies using natural diets are required for validation of indicator FAs and to im prove understanding of biosynthesis and selective retention. These studies can also help to quantify variation in FAs among tissue types, life history stages, and reproductive phases, as these factors can have a significant impact on FA composition (Hughes et al 2006, Mateos et al 2010.…”
