“…Compared with AFG, significantly higher concentrations in LD, ALP, TCHO, HDLC, TP, and GLU content were found in GFG, C. idellus in GFG exhibited better physiological functions in response to the changes in food nutritional composition. This is consistent with results demonstrated in other fish species, e.g., Pagrus major (Mohammed et al, 2016 ) and C. carpio (Imanpoor et al, 2016 ). These findings suggest that feeding C. idellus with grass can promote the metabolism and transport of various substances in the body.…”

et al. 2018

Fish muscle, the main edible parts with high protein level and low fat level, is consumed worldwide. Diet contributes greatly to fish growth performance and muscle quality. In order to elucidate the correlation between diet and muscle quality, the same batch of juvenile grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) were divided into two groups and fed with either grass (Lolium perenne, Euphrasia pectinata and Sorghum sudanense) or artificial feed, respectively. However, the different two diets didn't result in significant differences in all the detected water quality parameters (e.g., Tm, pH, DO, NH3/NH4+-N, NO3--N, NO2-, TN, TP, and TOC) between the two experimental groups. After a 4-month culture period, various indexes and expression of myogenic regulatory factor (MRFs) and their related genes were tested. The weight gain of the fish fed with artificial feed (AFG) was nearly 40% higher than the fish fed with grass (GFG). Significantly higher alkaline phosphatase, total cholestrol, high density cholestrol and total protein were detected in GFG as compared to AFG. GFG also showed increased hardness, resilience and shear force in texture profile analysis, with significantly bigger and compact muscle fibers in histologic slices. The fat accumulation was most serious in the abdomen muscle of AFG. Additionally, the expression levels of MyoG, MyoD, IGF-1, and MSTNs were higher, whereas Myf-5, MRF4, and IGF-2 were lower in most positional muscles of GFG as compared to AFG. Overall, these results suggested that feeding grass could promote muscle growth and development by stimulating muscle fiber hypertrophy, as well as significantly enhance the expression of CoL1As. Feeding C. idellus with grass could also improve flesh quality by improving muscle characteristics, enhancing the production of collagen, meanthile, reducing fat accumulation and moisture in muscle, but at the cost of a slower growth.

“…Over 10 years later, Trenzado et al (64) kept supporting this lack of connection between cortisol secretion and vitamin C. Nevertheless, Liu et al (20) reported the beneficial immunomodulatory and antioxidant effects of vitamin C in stressed fish, stating that dietary ascorbic acid supplements alleviate chronic stress effects. In this sense, Imanpoor et al (21) have recently demonstrated that vitamin C is a beneficial dietary supplement for improving the growth performance, survival, skeletal development and resistance to salinity stress of common carp fry. In spite of being object in many studies, there is not a general statement on the beneficial effects on vitamin C on the stress resistance, though no study indicates negative consequences of this feed supplement.…”

“…In this sense, those papers were, probably, the first evidences of dietary effects on the fish stress response (19). At the same time, vitamins (mainly ascorbic acid) were also target substances in that type of studies (20, 21). Lastly, thanks to new biotechnological protocols developing new substances, isolating/extracting biomolecules more efficiently, or including any additive in commercial feeds, many works have also described the effects of specific molecules (e.g., amino acids, nucleotides, polysaccharides, etc.)…”

The Use of Dietary Additives in Fish Stress Mitigation: Comparative Endocrine and Physiological Responses

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the last years, studies on stress attenuation in fish have progressively grown. This is mainly due to the interest of institutions, producers, aquarists and consumers in improving the welfare of farmed fish. In addition to the development of new technologies to improve environmental conditions of cultured fish, the inclusion of beneficial additives in the daily meal in order to mitigate the stress response to typical stressors (netting, overcrowding, handling, etc.) has been an important research topic. Fish are a highly diverse paraphyletic group (over 27,000 species) though teleost infraclass include around 96% of fish species. Since those species are distributed world-wide, a high number of different habitats and vital requirements exist, including a wide range of environmental conditions determining specifically the stress response. Although the generalized endocrine response to stress (based on the release of catecholamines and corticosteroids) is detectable and therefore provides essential information, a high diversity of physiological effects have been described depending on species. Moreover, recent omics techniques have provided a powerful tool for detecting specific differences regarding the stress response. For instance, for transcriptomic approaches, the gene expression of neuropeptides and other proteins acting as hormonal precursors during stress has been assessed in some fish species. The use of different additives in fish diets to mitigate stress responses has been deeply studied. Besides the species factor, the additive type also plays a pivotal role in the differentiation of the stress response. In the literature, several types of feed supplements in different species have been assayed, deriving in a series of physiological responses which have not focused exclusively on the stress system. Immunological, nutritional and metabolic changes have been reported in these experiments, always associated to endocrine processes. The biochemical nature and physiological functionality of those feed additives strongly affect the stress response and, in fact, these can act as neurotransmitters or hormone precursors, energy substrates, cofactors and other essential elements, implying multi-systematic and multi-organic responses. In this review, the different physiological responses among fish species fed stress-attenuating diets based on biomolecules and minerals have been assessed, focusing on the endocrine regulation and its physiological effects.
