L-carnitine is a multi-functional nutrient which plays a leading role in fatty acid metabolism in mammals and other eukaryotes. Its main physiological function is to promote fatty acid b-oxidation to produce energy, which reduces body fat content and improves body weight without affecting moisture content in whole body and muscle. In recent years, its dietary supplementation in aquaculture nutrition has been studied in different cultured species. It has been proved that L-carnitine can improve growth and increase lipid utilization rate in some aquatic animals. However, such beneficial effects of dietary L-carnitine are limited or absent in other species. The reasons for the conflicting results obtained on L-carnitine functions in aquatic animals need to be elucidated. This review explores comprehensively the different physiological functions of L-carnitine in various aquatic animals. In the end, research strategies are provided to elucidate the existing conflicts on dietary L-carnitine application in aquaculture nutrition in order to promote its utilization in aquatic feed industry.

“…This study demonstrated that the K and Zn may impact on the growth and survival of T. molitor larvae. An earlier study also demonstrated that the K and Zn had effect on the growth of larvae [6]. However, the metamorphosis plays an important role in the metal accumulation in holometabolous insects, which is particularly important in environmental studies [2].…”

Mealworm beetles have been used in numerous experiments as bioindicators. The aim of our experiment was to study the elemental composition in three larvae, pupae and first and second generation adult stages during their life cycle. We selected 180 larvae from a genetically similar population and put them in three groups, in two boxes (60 larvae in each box). Larvae were fed with mashed potato made of the same quality and quantity of potato powder. Then, we selected 10 individuals from each stage to the elemental analysis, using the ICP-OES method. The following elements were analysed in the studied stages: Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S, Sr and Zn. The results of principal component analysis demonstrated that based on elemental composition, different stages were separated with each other, but in the cases of the three larvae stages, high overlap was found. The results of the GLM ANOVA showed significant differences between the different stages of metamorphosis-based elemental composition. Our results show that the calcium and magnesium were found in a relatively high concentration, while the iron and zinc may be essential elements during the metamorphosis. Our results also show that in insect, the concentration of sodium was higher than in the pupa which may cause by hemolymph. We also demonstrated that the metamorphosis has an effect on the concentration of elements. Our study shows that in the different stages of insects, there are significant changes in the elemental composition of different stages of insects during their metamorphosis.
