“…In particular, A. nigrofasciatus was fed only with cladocerans and Artemia metanauplii, whereas the peak in α-amylase activity in P. splendida and C. urophthalmus was detected after their weaning onto an inert compound diet (López-Ramírez et al 2011;Uscanga-Martínez et al 2011;Toledo-Solís et al 2015). In addition, the α-amylase activity was higher in A. nigrofasciatus and C. urophthalmus than in P. splendida, confirming results from previous studies that reported a higher α-amylase activity in herbivorous, omnivorous, and detritivorous species in comparison with carnivorous ones (Falcón-Hidalgo et al 2011;Solovyev et al 2014).…”

“…As amylolytic activity in fish intestines seems to be directly associated with carbohydrate levels and the composition of their diets (Corrêa et al 2007), present results might be due to the inclusion of plant protein sources in the experimental diets. Moreover, different plant protein sources, the level of starch in the diets, as well as the feeding habits of the fish species can affect α-amylase activity (Fernández et al 2001;Logothetis et al 2001;Corrêa et al 2007;Falcón-Hidalgo et al 2011).…”

This study aims to describe changes in the activity of digestive enzymes of the zebra cichlid, Archocentrus nigrofasciatus, from hatching until 30 d after hatch (d.a.h.), and to evaluate the effects of feeding diets with different levels of fishmeal (FM) substitution with alternative nonanimal protein sources from 30 d.a.h. up to the age of 60 d.a.h. Results indicated that the developmental patterns of digestive enzymes from the exocrine pancreas and intestine are similar to those of other phylogenetically close cichlids, although they seemed to develop faster than other species as indicated by the peaks in enzyme activity, which were detected at younger stages of development. The 100% FM replacement with different alternative nonanimal protein sources had a negative impact on the growth performance of A. nigrofasciatus juveniles, whereas fish fed the diet with a 50% FM replacement showed similar results to those fed the 100% FM diet. Fish showing the lowest growth rate had also the lowest enzyme activity, especially in relation to the intestinal brush border enzymes. This study assesses the digestive capabilities and nutritional condition of the zebra cichlid fish and provides knowledge on the potential for FM substitution in their feeds.

“…The difference in trypsin and chymotrypsin activities might be associated with the differences in the mechanism that regulates the production of both enzymes in the digestive system of this specie (Falcón‐Hidalgo et al . ). A similar increase in the activities of trypsin and chymotrypsin with development has been described in Labeo rohita by Chakrabarti et al .…”

“…A great number of studies have shown that developmental stage influences the type and total activity of digestive enzymes present in fish (Chang, Horn, Dickson & Gawlicka ; Horn, Gawlicka & German ; Falcón‐Hidalgo, Forrellat‐Barrios, Carrillo‐Farnés & Ubieta‐Hernández ). On the other hand, a number of studies have evaluated differences in the activity of the main digestive enzymes related to the feeding habits.…”

Characterization of digestive enzymes protease and alpha-amylase activities in the thick-lipped grey mullet (Chelon labrosus , Risso 1827)

Activities of pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, alphaamylase and lipase, as well as their optima and stability to pH and temperature, were determined in digestive extracts of thick-lipped grey mullet, Chelon labrosus, of three different sizes: Group 1 (45.2 AE 3.0 g), Group 2 (180.9 AE 4.2 g), and Group 3 (328.5 AE 43.3 g). SDS-PAGE zymograms were also used to assess the role of serine proteases in the digestive tract of C. labrosus. On the other hand, possible changes in the digestive enzyme profile of C. labrosus during development were observed, with a comparatively lower pepsin activity, higher activities of alkaline proteases and alpha-amylase and no lipase activity recorded in pre-adult specimens. It is suggested that these variations are linked to the changes in diet composition with age, moving from a partly carnivorous to a more herbivorous feeding habit.

“…Zhou et al [23] reported that chymotrypsin of marine fish that acclimated to cold regions has higher catalytic activities and S. dumerili is a species that acclimated to cold water. Falcón-Hidalgo et al [24] reported increasing activity of trypsin and chymotrypsin of Cuban Limia vittata and Cuban gambusia Gambusia punctate during the development of the species.…”
