Dietary nutrient composition affects digestible energy utilisation for growth: a study on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and a literature comparison across fish species

Abstract: The effect of the type of non-protein energy (NPE) on energy utilisation in Nile tilapia was studied, focusing on digestible energy utilisation for growth (k gDE ). Furthermore, literature data on k gDE across fish species were analysed in order to evaluate the effect of dietary macronutrient composition. A total of twelve groups of fish were assigned in a 2 £ 2 factorial design: two diets ('fat' v. 'starch') and two feeding levels ('low' v. 'high'). In the 'fat'-diet, 125 g fish oil and in the 'starch'-diet 3… Show more

“…Irrespective of the fat intake, trout in the present study predominantly deposited dietary fat into body fat with a high-fat retention efficiency (>92%). This confirms the overall low utilization of ingested fat for energy production through oxidation and the large capacity of trout to store body fat without compromising DEI, as previously reported in this species (7,8,34,37) and other fish (38).…”

“…The apparent digestibility of energy (<72% in Table ) in the current study, which was similar with the report of Jin (), was less than that of Schrama et al . () in Nile tilapia. The different dietary energy concentrations and energy sources could be the main reason.…”

“…Feeding is a key factor for individual survival and growth (Elliott, 1976;Schrama et al, 2012) but it is also important for food web composition and can alter the composition of aquatic communities (Herrmann et al, 2012;Winkelmann et al, 2011). Feeding-mediated interaction is not limited to direct predation and individual growth but also involve competition for nutrients and other more complex interactions.…”
