Effects of dietary arachidonic acid on larval performance, fatty acid profiles, stress resistance, and expression of Na+/K+ ATPase mRNA in black sea bass Centropristis striata

Effects of feeding frequency of live prey on larval growth, survival, resistance to hyposalinity stress, Na+/K+ ATPase activity, and fatty acid profiles in black sea bass Centropristis striata

“…Stringent regulations on harvesting of wild populations and the potential for limited future supplies and higher market prices of ocean-caught black sea bass have stimulated studies on black sea bass aquaculture to help meet market demand. Techniques for spawning adult black sea bass in captivity (Watanabe et al, 2003;Berlinsky et al, 2005), raising larvae through juvenile stages in a hatchery (Berlinksy et al 2000, Copeland andWatanabe, 2006;Rezek et al, 2010;Carrier et al, 2011;Watanabe et al, 2015), and for growing juvenile fish to market sizes (Copeland et al 2003(Copeland et al , 2005Watanabe, 2011) have been developed in the eastern US for black sea bass, and there is now developed technology to support commercial-scale hatchery operations. Based on research funded in North Carolina by federal and state agencies, premium market size black sea bass are being produced in marine recirculating aquaculture systems at UNCW's Aquaculture Facility (Wrightsville Beach) as well as startup farms in North Carolina, Virginia and Maine.…”

“…In aquaculture, it is more practical to feed rotifers Brachionus rotundiformis and brine shrimp nauplii Artemia franciscana to fish larvae because the techniques to culture these organisms have been standardized (Stottrup and Attramadal, 1992;Dhert, 2001;Bentley et al, 2008;Watanabe, 2011). However, these prey organisms are nutritionally deficient and must be enriched, particularly with essential fatty acids (EFAs), before feeding them to the fish larvae (Watanabe et al, 1983;Izquierdo et al 1989;Koven et al, 2001;Sorgeloos et al, 2001, Rezek et al 2010Carrier et al, 2011;Watanabe et al, 2014Watanabe et al, , 2016. Live feed organisms are expensive to produce because they require intensive manpower to grow and to improve nutritional value and are challenging to produce on a consistent basis (Bentley et al, 2008;Slembrouck et al, 2009).…”

Production Economic Analysis of Black Sea Bass Juveniles to Support Finfish Mariculture Growout Industry Development in the Southeastern United States

“…Techniques for spawning adult black sea bass in captivity (Berlinsky et al, 2005;Watanabe et al, 2003), raising larvae through juvenile stages in a hatchery (Berlinksy et al, 2000, Carrier et al, 2011Copeland & Watanabe, 2006, Rezek et al, 2010, and for growing juvenile fish to market sizes , Watanabe, 2011 have been developed in the eastern United States for black sea bass, and there is now sufficient developed technology to support commercial-scale hatchery operations.…”

Supplementation of arachidonic acid rich oil in European sea bass juveniles (Dicentrarchus labrax) diets: effects on growth performance, tissue fatty acid profile and lipid metabolism

“…ARA is an essential fatty acid for fish as appropriate levels of this FA are required to achieve proper growth performance, development and survival (Carrier et al 2011;Boligno et al 2014;Lund et al 2007Lund et al , 2010, lipid metabolism (Martins et al 2012;Norambuena et al 2012), reproduction (Furita et al 2003Norambuena et al 2012Norambuena et al , 2013) stress resistance (Koven et al 2001(Koven et al , 2003Rezek et al 2010), immune system function (for review see Montero and Izquierdo 2010) as well as resistance to disease (Xu et al 2010). It also is the main precursor for the synthesis of 2-series prostaglandins (Smith et al 2002) and is known to affect signaling pathways and membraneassociated enzyme activities by modifying the fatty acid profile of cell membranes (Waagbø 2006;Calder 2008).…”
