The effect of different dietary iron levels on growth and hepatic iron concentration in juvenile gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio)

Abstract: Summary An 83‐day growth trial was conducted using a flow‐through system to examine the effects of different dietary iron levels on growth and hepatic iron concentration in juvenile gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio). Six purified diets supplemented with different levels of iron (0, 10, 30, 60, 100 and 200 mg kg−1) (as ferrous sulfate) were fed to triplicate groups of fish (initial weight 2.12 ± 0.00 g per fish). The results showed that the addition of iron to the basal diet did not significantly affect th… Show more

“…It has almost replaced crucian carp for its higher growth rate in recent years and annual production was around 3 million tonnes (Fishery Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China 2010). A number of studies have been reported on feeding regime, feeding stimulants, compensatory growth and macronutrient requirement (Xie et al 2001;Yang et al 2006;Tan et al 2009;Pei et al 2004;Pan et al 2009). However, many of the quantitative requirements of microelement for gibel carp have not been determined.…”

“…Although it is expressed in several organs, highest expression levels are in general observed in the liver, because this organ functions as the main storage of iron in most organisms. In fish, maintenance of optimal hepatic iron and blood haematocrit concentration seem to depend on a certain threshold in dietary iron concentration (Pan et al 2009). Due to the iron-chelating effects of phytic acid, reduced transcription rates may be primarily caused by an iron deficiency and, therefore, imply potential malnutrition.…”
