“…Nutritional modulation of mucosal immune response through administration of dietary pre‐ or probiotics received increasing attention in recent years (Lazado & Caipang ; Caipang & Lazado ; Merrifield & Rodiles ). There are limited published study regarding the effects of prebiotics on skin‐associated lymphoid tissues (SALT) and cutaneous mucus immune response (Rodrigues‐Estrada, Satoh, Haga, Fushimi & Sweetman ; Torrecillas, Makol, Caballero, Montero, Ginés, Sweetman & Izquierdo, ; Sheikhzadeh, Heidarieh, Karimi Pashaki, Nofouzi, Ahrab Farshbafi & Akbari ; Hoseinifar, Khalili, Khoshbavar Rostami & Esteban ; Hoseinifar, Sharifian, Vesaghi, Khalili & Esteban ; Hoseinifar, Mirvaghefi, Amoozegar, Sharifian & Esteban, ; Torrecillas, Montero, Caballero, Robaina, Zamorano, Sweetman & Izquierdo ; Adorian, Goulart, Mombach, de Menezes Lovatto, Dalcin, Molinari, Lazzari & da Silva ; Azimirad, Meshkini, Ahmadifard & Hoseinifar ; Carbone & Faggio ; Safari, Hoseinifar, Nejadmoghadam & Jafar ).…”

Comparative study on immunomodulatory and growth enhancing effects of three prebiotics (galactooligosaccharide, fructooligosaccharide and inulin) in common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

This study investigated the effects of different prebiotics, including galactooligosaccharide (GOS), fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and inulin (INL), on skin mucosal immune parameters, humoral immune responses as well as performance of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Two hundred and forty specimens (13.85 ± 0.85 g) were stocked in 12 fibreglass tanks assigned into three treatments and a control group. The experimental diets were formulated to have equal level (2%) of the prebiotics. At the end of the feeding trial, the highest skin mucus lysozyme activities and total immunoglobulin (total Ig) were observed in GOS‐fed group (P < 0.05). However, skin mucus protease activity showed no significant difference among different dietary groups (P < 0.05). Blood respiratory burst activity was significantly increased in all prebiotic‐fed fish compared to the control group (P < 0.05); the highest activity was observed in GOS treatment. Furthermore, evaluation of humoral immune response revealed that feeding with GOS‐supplemented diet significantly increased lysozyme and alternative complement (ACH50) activity as well as total Ig compared to the control and other prebiotic groups. While no significant difference was observed between FOS and INL groups, common carps fed GOS‐supplemented displayed improved (P < 0.05) growth performance, including final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR) and feed conversion ratio (FCR), compared to the control treatment. These results revealed that different prebiotics modulate carp growth and immune response in different manner, and GOS seems to be the most suitable prebiotic.

“…Teleost fishes are associated with diverse and dynamic microbial communities, located in their gastrointestinal tract, in their gills and on their skin (Merrifield and Rodiles, ). Fish microbiome has been mostly studied in the host's gastrointestinal tract, where it participates to essential functions, including larval development (Avella et al ., ), digestive process (Rawls et al ., ; Ray et al ., ), epithelium renewal (Rawls et al ., ; Cheesman et al ., ) and resistance to pathogens (Rawls et al ., ; Galindo‐Villegas et al ., ).…”

Summary Teleost fishes interact with diverse microbial communities, playing crucial functions for host fitness. While gut microbiome has been extensively studied, skin microbiome has been overlooked. Specifically, there is no assessment of the relative impact of host and environmental factors on microbiome variability as well as neutral processes shaping fish skin microbiome. Here, we assessed the skin microbiome of a Siluriforme, the European catfish (Silurus glanis) sampled in four sites located in Southwestern France. We assessed the relative roles of individual features (body size and genetic background), local environment and neutral processes in shaping skin microbiome. Catfish skin microbiome composition was distinct to that of other freshwater fish species previously studied with high abundances of Gammaproteobacteria and Bacteroidetes. We found no effect of catfish individual genotype and body size on the structure of its associated skin microbiome. Geographical location was the best catfish skin microbiome structure predictor, together with neutral models of microbiome assembly.

“…It has been shown that replacing fish meal with plant protein causes several effects on fish growth and body composition, histological and morphological changes in the digestive system which affect digestion (Caballero, Izquierdo, Kjorsvik, Fernandez, & Rosenlund, ; Green & McCornick, ; Hall & Bellwood, ; Jalili, Tukmechi, Agh, Noori, & Ghasemi, ; Krogdahl & Bakke, ), intestinal microbial community (Llewellyn, Boutin, Hoseinifar, & Derome, ; Merrifield & Rodiles, ; Ringø, Dimitroglou, Hoseinifar, & Davies, ) and fillet colour (Buttle, Crampton, & Williams, ; Saez, Abdel‐Aal, & Bureau, ). Therefore, in order to evaluate CPC properly, it is important to consider studying all the above‐mentioned parameters.…”

Evaluation of replacing fish meal with corn protein concentrate in Nile tilapiaOreochromis niloticusfingerlings commercial diet

Four isocaloric-isonitrogenous diets containing 0, 50, 100 and 190 g/kg corn protein concentrate (CPC) as replacement for dietary fish meal were fed to Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings for 8 weeks. Tilapia growth parameters were not significantly (p > .05) different in fish fed diets with 0, 50 and 100 g/kg CPC and found to be superior compared to those fed on 190 g/kg CPC. Fish dressing ratios and body composition were similar among all treatments. The electron microscope indicated that the stomach size of control fish was slightly smaller and the wall was thinner while the stomach of the fish fed all other levels of CPC undergone a remarkable size increase and their walls were thicker after feeding diets with CPC. Total aerobic bacterial and coliform counts were significantly decreased in fish intestine when fed diets with 100 and 190 g/kg CPC compared with fish fed diets with 0 g/kg or 50 g/kg CPC.This study indicates that it is possible to replace up to 534 g/kg of dietary fish meal in tilapia fingerlings using 100 g/kg of CPC without any negative effect on fish growth and proximate body composition.
