“…Weight gains recorded in this study were lower than those reported from other nutritional studies concerning sea cucumber (Yang et al, 2005;Dong et al, 2006;Zhou et al, 2006;An et al, 2007;Okorie et al, 2008). This may be related to the presence of antinutritional factors and/or deficiency in essential amino acid such as methionine in dietary soybean meal (Rumsey et al, 1994;Anderson and Wolf, 1995).…”

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary lipid sources on the growth and fatty acid composition of juvenile sea cucumber. For 12 weeks, three replicate groups of sea cucumber (average weight 1.4 g) were fed one of three diets, containing squid liver oil (SLO), soybean oil (SO), or linseed oil (LO) as a dietary lipid source, or a control diet (CON) without added lipids. Sea cucumber survival was not significantly different among dietary treatments (P>0.05). The highest weight gain was observed in sea cucumber fed the SLO diet, whereas the weight gain of sea cucumber fed the SO diet was the lowest among dietary treatments (P<0.05). No significant differences were found in the moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, and ash contents of whole sea cucumber body among dietary treatments (P>0.05). Concentrations of 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3 were significantly higher in sea cucumber fed the SLO diet than in those fed on the other diets. The highest 18:2n-6 and 18:3n-3 contents were observed in sea cucumber fed the SO and LO diets, respectively. The results of this study suggest that squid liver oil could be used as a good lipid source in formulated diets for juvenile sea cucumber.

“…The variation in growth performance may be attributable to differences in water temperature [38][39][40]. Although sea cucumbers can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, growth occurs only between 12 and 21 °C, and the optimum temperature for growth is 16-18 °C [41][42][43]. On the other hand, high stock density (50 sea cucumbers/40 L) in treatment was likely a factor in the unsatisfactory growth performance.…”

“…This is much higher compared with many other marine aquaculture species (Shirley and Stickle, 1982;Tian et al, 2004;Zhu et al, 2004;Sun et al, 2006;An et al, 2007;Sun et al, 2007).…”

“…Sander (1973) reported a riseand-fall pattern in respiration of two polychetes when temperature changed. The proportion of respiration energy was a major component of the total energy budget for N. japonica (Table 3), as is the case in many marine invertebrates (Shirley and Stickle, 1982;Zhang et al, 1998b;Wang F. et al, 2004;An et al, 2007).

Growth and energy budget of the polychaete, Neanthes japonica, at various temperatures (17, 20, 23, 26 and 29℃) were investigated in this study. The growth, as indicated by final dry weight and specific growth rate (SGR), increased with increasing temperature, with the maximum level at 26℃, and then decreased significantly at 29℃. A similar trend was observed in feeding rate, food conversion efficiency (FCE) and apparent digestive rate (ADR). However, no significant differences were detected in ADR among all the temperature treatments. In the pattern of energy allocation, faeces energy was only a small component of energy budget and had little influence on the proportion of food energy allocated to growth. The metabolic energy accounted for a large portion of energy intake for each temperature treatment. The nitrogen excretion was appreciable with changing temperature. The two expenditure terms (respiration energy and excretion energy) in energy budget were the major factors influencing the proportion of food energy allocated to growth. These results revealed that temperature affected the growth of N. japonica mainly by influencing feeding rate and FCE. In addition, regression equations describing the relationship between feeding rate, faecal production, SGR, FCE and temperature were obtained. The optimum temperatures for feeding rate, FCE and SGR were estimated at 25.01℃, 24.24℃ and 24.73 ℃, respectively, from the regression equations.
