However, in the larvae, the DHA/EPA ratio was between 2.14 (A100 treatment) and 3.07 (A0 treatment), being comparable to or even higher than those described for other marine larvae [9,45,52] and suggesting a sort of compensatory mechanism for conserving the physiological HUFA ratios, as has been described for other marine species as the Senegalese sole [53] and the gilthead seabream [54].…”

The sustainable expansion of aquaculture relies on a sufficient supply of eggs and larvae, which are the first step of life cycle management. However, marine fish larval rearing generally depends on live feed production, which needs additional facilities and labor. The flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus), a promising species for aquaculture diversification, has a precocious digestive system development, supporting the feasibility of early weaning strategies. For these reasons, this study evaluated survival, growth, proximate and fatty acid composition, and gene expression of Mugil cephalus larvae reared under three different weaning protocols. Three co-feeding treatments, two with different Artemia sp. concentrations (A100 and A50, 2 and 1 Artemia sp. mL−1 day−1, respectively) and one with only rotifers administered as live feed along the feeding trial (A0), were assessed from 22 to 36 days post-hatching (dph). The A0 treatment performed better in survival (64.79 ± 7.40%) than the A100 protocol (32.46 ± 12.82%). In contrast, the larvae of the A100 treatment presented significantly higher final length (15.51 ± 0.86 mm) than those of the A0 treatment (12.19 ± 1.45 mm) and higher final weight (41.28 ± 1.48 mg) than those of the A50 and A0 treatments (31.23 ± 3.65 mg and 24.03 ± 7.99 mg, respectively). On the other hand, the expression of digestive enzyme- and somatotropic factor-related genes did not show differences between treatments. The present results support the convenience of treatment A0 in maximizing survival, as rotifers should be maintained until 30–32 dph (until a total larval length of at least 10 mm). However, to improve growth and minimize size dispersion, Artemia sp. addition is recommended from day 26 to day 29 post-hatching (total larval length of 8 to 9 mm).

Divergent molecular responses of greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) to acute salinity stress revealed by comparative transcriptome analysis

Greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) is an important commercial fish for its high growth rate and excellent flesh quality. However, its sensitivity to variations of water salinity poses challenges to the cage culture. In this study, the greater amberjack were reared in the optimum salinity (30 ppt, CK) and undesired regimes (10 and 40 ppt) for 72 hours. The molecular adaptive mechanisms to salinity stress were revealed by the comparative transcriptome analysis for the gills and kidneys. In gills, a total of 445 and 423 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in 10 and 40 ppt salinity stress groups, respectively. Those DEGs were involved in cartilage and skeletal development, ions transport, and immune response. The major ion secretion and osmoregulation transport proteins gene slc12a2/nkcc1 and cftr expression levels were significantly down-regulated at 10 ppt, but slightly activated at 40 ppt, compared with the control group. The expression changes in response to the Na+, K+ movement, and Cl- ion secretion reduced under the hypo-osmotic exposure and ion excretion boost upon hyper-salinity stress. Meanwhile, the cartilage and skeletal development were enhanced in the gills by hypo- or hyper-salinity stimuli, which is critical for maintaining gill structures and improving respiration and osmoregulation under salinity stress. In kidneys, 600 and 539 DEGs were identified in 10 and 40 ppt groups, respectively. Those DEGs were enriched in oxygen transport, pronephros development, regulation of growth, blood coagulation, ion transmembrane transport, and immune response. While the known renal Na+/Cl– co-transporter gene slc12a3/ncc expression level was significantly down-regulated at 10 ppt, the organic cation transporter 2 gene slc22a2, ammonium transmembrane transport gene rhd and rhag expression levels were overexpressed under the hyper-salinity condition at 40 ppt, contributing to the salts secretion and ammonium transport regulation, to combat the osmotic influx of salts following the drink of seawater and elevated ammonia production upon high salinity stress. These findings advance our knowledge of adaptative mechanisms to the salinity stress and provide theoretical guidance for the optimal breeding mode for the aquaculture of greater amberjack.

“…As stated above, the feeding sequence of S. dumerili larvae usually includes Artemia sp. nauplii, enriched or not, from as early stages as 10 days posthatch (dph) [ 10 , 11 ]. However, the fatty acid composition of Artemia sp., even after enrichment, is usually deficient in n -3 LC-HUFA, particularly in DHA [ 19 , 20 ].…”

Most commercial products available for Artemia sp. enrichment include high levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to boost its nutritional value, though with limited success. In this regard, the present study evaluated the alternative utilization of eicosapentaenoic acid (20 : 5n-3; EPA) oils to improve the n-3 long-chain highly unsaturated fatty acid content (n-3 LC-HUFA) in enriched Artemia sp. to feed greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) larvae. Five experimental emulsions containing increasing levels of EPA from 0.8% to 60% of total fatty acids (TFA) and n-3 LC-HUFA (1.3%–70.6% TFA) were formulated. Each diet was fed to greater amberjack larvae (17–35 days posthatch (dph)) in three replicate 200-L tanks. The dietary EPA supplementation significantly improved larval growth during the feeding trial and survival at 35 dph ( P < 0.05 ). In addition, larval fatty acid profiles showed a positive correlation with dietary EPA. Finally, despite the sum of total skeletal anomalies and column anomalies were not significantly affected by dietary EPA, increasing dietary EPA, and n-3 LC-HUFA tended to reduce the incidence of these types of anomalies in greater amberjack larvae at 35 dph. Based on these results, S. dumerili larvae could be successfully grown with low DHA but high EPA-rich oil enrichment products when n-3 LC-HUFA content in Artemia sp. is maintained in sufficient amounts.
