“…The average incidence of skeletal deformities was low compared to other studies with Senegalese sole that obtained between 40 and 80% of deformed fish (Gavaia et al., 2002; Fernández et al., 2009; Boglino et al., 2012). Low frequencies of skeletal malformations were observed in all groups, but none of the observed types of malformation seemed to be linked to ARA levels.…”

Summary To improve the understanding of the incidence of skeletal deformities in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis), a feeding trial was carried out to evaluate the effect of increasing dietary arachidonic acid (ARA) levels during the Artemia feeding period on larval growth and skeletogenesis. Larvae were fed from 8 to 50 days post hatching (dph) with Artemia nauplii enriched with three different levels of ARA: ARA‐Low, ARA‐Medium and ARA‐High (1.0, 4.5 and 7.0% ARA of total fatty acids, respectively). Increasing levels of dietary ARA did not affect significantly the survival. However, it influenced growth; larvae from the ARA‐M group presented the highest values of final standard length and dry weight (11.36 ± 0.47 mm and 5.86 ± 1.06 mg at 50 dph, respectively) and larvae from the ARA‐H group the lowest ones (9.53 ± 0.27 mm and 2.47 ± 0.26 mg at 50 dph). The skeleton of larvae fed the ARA‐M diet tended to be more calcified at 15 dph than that of larvae fed ARA‐L and ARA‐H diets. Larvae from the ARA‐M group tended to show a higher incidence of fusion of hypurals 3 and 4 (34.4 ± 3.1%) at 50 dph than the larvae from the other groups (18.7 ± 1.6%, in average). The latter results reflected a trend to a higher degree of skeletal development rather than a deformity, this being in agreement with the higher larval growth of this group. Besides, ARA levels did not affect significantly the incidence of total skeletal deformities (41.4 ± 1.5% in average). Larvae from all dietary treatments mostly displayed fusions of the vertebra 43 and 44 (32.2 ± 1.3% in average). The amount of 4.5% of total fatty acid of dietary ARA during Artemia feeding period promoted the best growth and proper skeletogenesis in Senegalese sole larvae.

“…The high percentage of skeletal deformities found in S. senegalensis under control temperature and pCO 2 conditions (70.9±2.7%), although similar to the values commonly found for this species under intensive rearing conditions (Fernández et al, 2009;Dionísio et al, 2012), may indicate that fish were potentially stressed in captivity and would, therefore, be more susceptible to the negative effects of higher temperature and CO 2 levels. Nevertheless, this fact does not exclude the amplifying effect that warming and hypercapnia had on the incidence of skeletal deformities.…”

Early life stages of many marine organisms are being challenged by rising seawater temperature and CO 2 concentrations, but their physiological responses to these environmental changes still remain unclear. In the present study, we show that future predictions of ocean warming (+4°C) and acidification (ΔpH=0.5 units) may compromise the development of early life stages of a highly commercial teleost fish, Solea senegalensis. Exposure to future conditions caused a decline in hatching success and larval survival. Growth, metabolic rates and thermal tolerance increased with temperature but decreased under acidified conditions. Hypercapnia and warming amplified the incidence of deformities by 31.5% (including severe deformities such as lordosis, scoliosis and kyphosis), while promoting the occurrence of oversized otoliths (109.3% increase). Smaller larvae with greater skeletal deformities and larger otoliths may face major ecophysiological challenges, which might potentiate substantial declines in adult fish populations, putting in jeopardy the species' fitness under a changing ocean.

“…Morphogenesis of marine fish larvae can be altered by changing dietary micronutrients such as vitamin A (Villeneuve et al 2006;Fernández et al 2009;Mazurais et al 2009), vitamins D and C (Darias et al 2011), and lipids (Cahu et al 2003b). Although previous studies have demonstrated that feeding with high levels of dietary nutrients (e.g., lipids, fatty acids, vitamins) can improve growth and survival and significantly reduce skeletal malformation (Koven et al 2003;Izquierdo et al 2013), excessive dietary lipids (e.g., DHA, DHA/EPA) and vitamins (e.g., vitamin A, C) can also lead to low survival (Fernández and Gisbert 2011;Hamre et al 2013;Ma and Qin 2014a) and high malformation (Izquierdo et al 2010;Haga et al 2011;Izquierdo et al 2013).…”

Molecular cloning and expression analysis of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) gene in golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus fed Artemia nauplii with different enrichments

The retinoid X receptors (RXRs) are involved in the skeletal development and other biological process such as blood vessel formation and metabolism. Partial sequences of RXRα and β genes were obtained, and their expressions were quantified on golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus at 28 days post hatching (DPH) to explore the molecular response to nutritional manipulation in fish larvae. As live food, Artemia nauplii were separately enriched with Nannochloropsis and Algamac 3080 and non-enriched Artemia nauplii (control) for fish feeding. The expressions of RXRs were detected in the embryos and fish larvae at early stages, suggesting that the skeletal development in golden pompano initiated before yolk re-sorption completion. Fish fed non-enriched Artemia nauplii ended up with higher jaw malformation. The highest specific growth rate was obtained when fish were fed with the Artemia nauplii enriched with Algamac 3080, and the lowest growth rate was observed when fish were fed with unenriched Artemia nauplii. The highest survival was obtained when fish were fed with non-enriched or Nannochloropsis-enriched Artemia nauplii. This study indicates that the use of enriched formula for Artemia nauplii can significantly affect the expression levels of RXRs and jaw malformation of golden pompano larvae, but there is no clear correlation between RXRs expressions and malformation rates when fish are subjected to nutrient challenge.
