Sulfated Polysaccharides in Diets for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in the Initial Growth Phase

Dietary sulfated polysaccharides extracted fromCaulerpasp. andPadinasp. modulated physiological performance, antibacterial activity and ammonia challenge test in juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

“…In this frame, Kim et al (2014) revealed that Sargassum fusiform and Ecklonia cava as dietary additives up to 6% failed to show any appreciable positive effect on the organsomatic index of olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). A corroborated view have been pronounced by Fabrini et al (2017), who reported that dietary SP E could not significant effect (up to 1.5%) on zootechnical indices on the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Contradictory findings have been declared in our prior research (Safavi et al, 2019).…”

“…There are many causative reasons by which SP E may stimulate growth enhancement, some of which inhibit the activity of the myostatin protein whereby, increasing an elevated hyperplasia and hypertrophy rate in the muscle fibre area (Ramazanov et al, 2003). Some authors pointed out that SP E leads to higher activities of digestive enzymes in aquatic animals, whereby accretion digestion, absorption and feed utilisation (Fabrini et al, 2017; Ramazanov et al, 2003). However, a few studies have contemplated that sulfated extracts reinforce the innate and adaptive immune system by virtue of the presence of bioactive compounds (e.g., hydrocolloids, colourants and polyphenols) (Abdel‐Latif et al, 2022; Arokiarajan et al, 2022; Güroy et al, 2022; Lee et al, 2017; Mohan et al, 2019; Rudtanatip et al, 2017; Sharma & Baskaran, 2021; Sony et al, 2019; Thépot et al, 2021; Yun et al, 2022), the improvement of the width and height of villi can take part in intestinal absorption, which is essential in enhancing growth performance (Mahgoub et al, 2020; Sotoudeh & Mardani, 2018; Thépot et al, 2021).…”

Canary seed, Phalaris canariensis, has higher nutritional value than giant kelp seaweed, Macrocystis pyrifera, as feed ingredient in diets for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

“…Recent research on brown seaweeds has demonstrated beneficial effects of biologically active metabolites in Nile tilapia. Some of these metabolites and effects can be summarized as follows: (a) Effect on nonspecific immune response, disease resistance, and growth performance of low molecular weight sodium alginate (Van Doan et al, 2016); (b) prebiotic effect on growth performance (Van Doan et al, 2016); (c) improved carcass yield (Costa et al, 2013); (d) sodium alginate source for textural feed properties (Van Doan et al, 2017); (e) low‐fat food products with fewer calories and less saturated fatty acids (Roohinejad et al, 2017); and (f) sulfated polysaccharides in the initial growth phase (Fabrini et al, 2017). These aspects suggest that the functional compounds of M. pyrifera could be favorable for the performance of O. niloticus .…”

“…Phalaris canariensis and M. pyrifera seemed to be adequate feedstuffs when they were used at low dietary levels in feed, besides they are rich sources of biologically active metabolites. (Roohinejad et al, 2017); and (f) sulfated polysaccharides in the initial growth phase (Fabrini et al, 2017). These aspects suggest that the functional compounds of M. pyrifera could be favorable for the performance of O. niloticus.…”

The Effectiveness of Dietary Fucoidan Compared to the Combination of Fucoidan with Turmeric on the Growth of African Catfish (Clarias Gariepinus)

“…Canciyal et al (2016), also reported that giving a fucoidan diet as much as 3% kg -1 of feed could increase the weight growth of giant prawns. Fabrini et al (2017) reported that the sulphated polysaccharide fucoidan, used in diets for Oreochromis niloticus with 30 days of rearing, was not effective in increasing performance parameters and muscle growth.…”
