Summary: This study evaluated the potential of various alternative marine lipid sources to replace commercially available fish oil in turbot feed. The results showed that the alternative diets were as efficient as the control diet in terms of growth performance and feed efficiency. One of the alternative diets (ALGAMIX) had a higher content of EPA + DHA in fish muscle, exceeding the recommended levels for human consumption, and showed potential for improving muscle antioxidant capacity.

Summary: This study measured the responses of turbot at different concentrations of Tralopyril to determine the changes induced by long-term exposure. The results showed that Tralopyril affected immune response, synthesis and metabolism of steroids and fat, as well as the synthesis, secretion, and action of parathyroid hormone and growth hormone. The study also revealed abnormal growth and disturbance of calcium regulation caused by Tralopyril, potentially attributed to the inhibition of vitamin D receptor. This study provides scientific data for understanding the toxicological effects of Tralopyril and its potential threat to environmental health.

Summary: The booming fish farming industry has led to a shortage of fish oil supply, resulting in the use of alternative oils in fish feeds and a reduction of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) in fish products. This study explored the efficacy of an fish oil-finishing strategy to restore muscle quality in farmed tiger puffer. The strategy successfully recovered LC-PUFA content and volatile flavor compounds in the fish after being fed poultry oil-based diets.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of acetate on turbot fed a diet with a high proportion of soybean meal (SBM). The results showed that the addition of 1.0% acetate effectively promoted fish growth, improved mucosal barrier and digestive enzyme activities in the intestine, alleviated intestinal inflammation and oxidative stress caused by high SBM diet, and increased the anti-infectious ability of turbot. Therefore, the supplementation of acetate can effectively alleviate the adverse effects of high SBM diet on turbot growth and intestinal health, and improve fish resistance to bacterial infection.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the relationship between habitual fish oil use and the risk of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). A total of 408,023 participants without prior CKD were enrolled from the UK Biobank. Fish oil use and dietary intakes were assessed through questionnaires. The study found that habitual fish oil use was associated with a lower hazard of CKD, and there were consistent inverse relationships between fish consumption and circulating omega-3 PUFA concentration with incident CKD.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) on intestinal microbiota and health of turbot fish. The results showed that an appropriate level of FPH improved growth performance, alleviated structural damage to the intestine caused by plant protein, and regulated immune-related inflammatory factors. Additionally, moderate levels of FPH in diets modulated the abundance of potentially probiotic and pathogenic bacteria in the intestine.

Summary: The characterization of the turbot mpx gene and protein revealed structural features and expression patterns, with mpx being highly expressed in neutrophils while epx1, epx2b1, and epx2b2 showed distinct tissue-specific expression. In response to parasite stimulation, mpx and epx2b1 exhibited differential expression patterns in turbot, suggesting unique regulatory mechanisms for each gene. Phylogenetic analysis classified the epx/mpx genes of Gnathostomes into three clades, with EPX2 containing turbot mpx and epx2b1 sharing orthologous genes with other teleosts and holosteans.

Summary: Different commercially available fermented soybean meals (FSBM) have varying effects on the growth performance of juvenile turbot. FSBM3 and FSBM4 showed higher growth performance when substituting fish meal, and the content of water-soluble protein, TCA-soluble protein, and trypsin inhibitor can serve as key indicators in the quality evaluation of FSBM.

Summary: Vegetable oil is being used as a substitute for fish oil in crustacean diets due to a global shortage. However, the effects of different substitution levels on the health and metabolism of crustaceans are not well understood. This study found that replacing 50% of fish oil with linseed oil did not affect the growth performance and feed utilization of juvenile swimming crab. Summary: A substitution ratio of less than 50% is recommended for linseed oil in the diet of Portunus trituberculatus.

Summary: This study identified and compared the allergenicity and epitope mapping of alpha and beta parvalbumin (PV) in turbot fish. The results showed that alpha PV had lower IgE/IgG binding capacity compared to beta PV. Alpha PV also had less similarity in sequence homology with allergen sequences in the database. These findings provide valuable information for PV epitopes and enhance the diagnostic tools for fish allergy.

Summary: The study investigated the response of intestinal microbiota to fish oil finishing (FOF) strategy in tiger puffer. It was found that terrestrially sourced oils impaired intestinal function during the growing-out period, but this was significantly recovered by re-feeding with fish oil-based diet. The 16S rDNA sequencing analysis showed improved bacterial community similarity after FOF, indicating the important role of intestinal microbiota in the recovery process.

Summary: A 12-week feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing fish oil (FO) with beef tallow (BT) on the fatty acid composition of farmed tiger puffer (Takifugu rubripes). The results showed that dietary BT inclusion reduced the contents of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) in both the muscle and liver of the experimental fish, and the liver displayed a more drastic decrease than the muscle. However, alternate feeding between FO and BT-based diets resulted in a higher LC-PUFA content than the standard direct replacement.

Summary: The effects of imbalanced dietary BCAAs, specifically Leu, on the growth and metabolism of turbot were investigated in this study. The results showed that turbot exhibited high plasticity to an excess of any particular BCAA in terms of growth. Excessive intake of a specific BCAA increased its concentration in the plasma, muscles, and liver, and also influenced intestinal amino acid absorption and BCAA catabolism.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
