    Notes: The development of cataracts in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., was studied in 16 groups of smolts fed diets differing in prooxidant (iron, copper, manganese) and antioxidant (vitamin E, vitamin C, astaxanthin) composition and lipid level for 23 weeks in sea water, using a 27--3 reduced factorial design. The seven dietary variables were systematically varied at low (requirement level and 150 g lipid kg−1) and high levels (below known toxic levels and 320 g lipid kg−1). A mean endpoint cataract incidence of approximately 36% was observed. High dietary levels of vitamin C and astaxanthin reduced cataract frequency, whereas high dietary lipid level, iron and manganese were associated with increased cataract frequencies. Considering the nutritional status of selected organs of the fish, only the status of ascorbic acid correlated negatively to cataract development (P 〈 0.05). The lens glutathione (GSH) status was not correlated to cataract frequency, nor statistically explained by the dietary variables. However, the study shows that balancing the diet with respect to pro- and antioxidant nutrients may significantly protect Atlantic salmon against development of cataracts. An incidence of reversible osmotic cataract observed at week 14 was positively correlated to plasma glucose concentration.

    Notes: Bone deformities represent an increasing, unsolved problem for intensive farming of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L. To increase insight into nutritional and environmental impacts on bone mineralization, 16 groups of Atlantic salmon parr were fed diets with different levels of menadione sodium bisulphite (MSB), vitamin D3, and calcium (Ca), and exposed to different levels of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) based on a multivariate factorial design (24). The composition of the experimental diets was either a high or low level of each of the design variables. In addition, four groups (centre points) were fed a diet with intermediate levels of all dietary parameters and exposed to an intermediate level of dissolved CO2 to record the variation among tanks. After 6 weeks in fresh water, fish were marked according to group, transferred to a common net pen in sea water and fed commercial feed for another 11 weeks. High levels of CO2 decreased fish growth both in fresh water and sea water. No visible bone deformities were recorded at any time. Dry matter, protein and ash compositions of bone and concentrations of Ca, phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg) in bone were not significantly affected by any of the design variables. Minor effects were observed in clinical parameters recording health performance, stress and plasma Ca homeostasis. The mean level of vitamin D3 measured as cholecalciferol in fish organs increased significantly during the freshwater period and reflected dietary vitamin D3, whereas the level decreased when fish were fed commercial feed in sea water. The level of menaquinone in liver increased significantly in response to high dietary levels of MSB, indicating that dietary MSB was converted to menaquinone in salmon.

    Notes: Total lipid, lipid classes and their associated fatty acids have been measured in whole halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus (L.) larvae and in dissected animals separated into yolk and body compartments. At hatching the larval body contained 17 μg ind−1 of lipid (11% of larval body dry weight), while the yolk contained 190 μg ind−1. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) accounted for 57% of total yolk lipids while phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), triacylglycerol (TAG), cholesterol and sterol ester (SE) accounted for 12%, 12%, 9% and 6% respectively. The main fatty acids in the PC fraction were 22:6n-3 (25.6 μg ind−1), 16:0 (19.2 μg ind−1) and 20:5n-3 (12.6 μg ind−1).Between hatch and 200 day-degrees post hatch (D°PH) a net decline in total lipids of 29% was seen. There seemed to be some, but relatively minor, changes in the relative composition of lipids in the yolk throughout development, which are indicative of a non-selective endocytotic bulk uptake of lipids from the yolk. Towards first-feeding there was a selective catabolism of PC and a net synthesis of PE in the developing body, resulting in a shift in the lipid class composition in the body compared with that of the yolk.The fatty acids released from lipid hydrolysis were mainly used as energy substrates by the growing halibut larvae; 22:6n-3 was quantitatively one of the most important fatty acid fuel in energy metabolism. At the same time 38% and 23% of the 22:6n-3 released from PC was retained by the PE and neutral lipids in the growing larval body respectively. Except for 20:5n-3 (2%, 14%) no similar retention was seen in any of the other fatty acids. The observed net synthesis of PE in developing yolk-sac larvae of Atlantic halibut and the preferential retention of 22:6n-3 into it, increasing from 28% at hatching to 45% at 200 D°PH, may point to a high biological value of this compound.

    Notes: After feeding Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., five graded amounts of wheat starch from 0 to 310 g kg−1, low but increased levels of glycogen in kidney, heart and gills were determined. No variations were found in proximate or glycogen compositions of muscle, whereas the liver composition reflected the diet composition. Whole-body homogenates varied in dry matter and lipid levels; the variation was according to g lipid eaten per fish. Plasma glucose levels ranged above average levels only when the starch level in the feed was higher than 220 g kg−1. Although feed intake and thereby lipid intake increased as dietary carbohydrate increased in the present experiment, no differences in plasma concentrations of cholesterol and only small changes in triglycerides were determined. The increase in dietary carbohydrate was balanced with protein, and total plasma protein concentrations followed the decrease in feed protein content. Haematocrit, haemoglobin, mean cell volume and mean cell haemoglobin all showed significantly reduced levels as dietary starch increased, indicating a fibre effect from ‘left-over’ starch in the intestine followed by reduced absorption of divalent ions, such as iron.

    Notes: Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) fry were reared on a fishmeal-based diet with three different levels of vitamin D3 (0.2, 5 and 57 mg vitamin D3 kg–1 feed, ww) from first-feeding for 14 weeks. No significant differences were recorded in weight, length, specific growth rate, mortality, or kidney calcium concentration between the different dietary groups. No skeletal malformations or histopathological changes were recorded in any of the dietary groups. These results suggest Atlantic salmon fry to be highly tolerant of megadoses of vitamin D3 over a limited period of time.

    Notes: Atlantic salmon fry hatched from pigment-free eggs and from eggs containing the pigment astaxanthin were fed eleven casein/gelatine-based purified diets with varying levels of astaxanthin, ranging from 0 to 317 mg kg−1, to determine the optimum dietary astaxanthin level for satisfactory growth and survival during the start-feeding period. The fish were fed the experimental diets for a period of 11 weeks.No difference in performance was found between the two types of fry originating from the pigment-free eggs and those containing pigment. However, the dietary astaxanthin concentration was found to have a significant effect on both the growth and the survival of fry. Fish fed diets with astaxanthin concentrations below 5.3 mg kg−1 were found to have marginal growth. In addition, mortality was high in the groups fed diets with astaxanthin concentrations below 1.0 mg kg−1. The specific growth rate (SGR) was also affected by the dietary treatment. The lipid content was higher and the moisture content was lower in the fish fed the diets containing astaxanthin concentrations above 5.3 mg kg−1. The vitamin A and astaxanthin concentrations in whole-body samples of the fry were significantly affected by the dietary level of astaxanthin. A plateau level in whole-body vitamin A concentration was observed at dietary levels of approximately 80 mg astaxanthin kg−1 and higher, while no maximum astaxanthin concentration in whole-body samples was observed within the dietary levels used.The results suggest the need for a minimum dietary astaxanthin concentration of 5.1 mg kg−1 to achieve maximum growth and survival during the start-feeding period. The results indicate a low bioavailability of vitamin A palmitate and acetate and the results also suggest a provitamin A function for astaxanthin during the same period.

    Notes: Turbot Scophthalmus maximus, larvae were start-fed with formulated feeds containing marine phospholipids (MP) or soya phospholipids (SP). The experiment was performed with six experimental groups, four groups were given formulated feeds, one group was given live feed and one group was starved. Phospholipid (PL) contents of the formulated feeds were respectively 5% MP, 15% MP, 5% SP and 15% SP. Larvae were offered feed from day 3 post-hatch. There was no significant size difference on day 5 between the group fed 15% MP and the group given rotifers. Electron microscopical examination of enterocytes was performed on larval intestine on day 5. Larvae fed 5% and 15% MP and larvae fed rotifers had normal looking enterocytes with numerous normal looking mitochondria. In the enterocytes of larvae fed 5% SP and 15% SP the mitochondria appeared swollen with a translucent matrix and fragmented cristae. Thus, MP and not SP seemed suitable as a lipid and PL source for start-feeding turbot larvae.

    Notes: Turbot, Scophthalmus maximus, larvae were start-fed with formulated feeds containing soya phospholipids (SP), marine phospholipids (MP) or triacylglycerol (TAG). The levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were the same in the MP and TAG feeds. The control group was given rotifers (R). The larvae were offered feed from day 4 post-hatch. Larvae fed formulated feed with added MP showed good initial growth and there were no significant differences in weight on day 6 between this group and the group given rotifers. Using feed with added TAG enriched with EPA and DHA gave no growth at all. Using SP as the lipid source in the feed resulted in reduced initial growth. Electron microscopical examination of enterocytes was performed on larval intestines on day 6. Larvae fed MP, TAG or rotifers had normal looking enterocytes with numerous normal looking mitochondria. In the enterocytes of larvae fed SP the mitochondria appeared swollen with a translucent matrix and fragmented cristae. Thus, SP or TAG appear not to be suitable as the sole source of lipids and/or phospholipids in start-feed for turbot larvae and the effects of MP are not solely caused by high levels of EPA and DHA.

    Notes: Sixteen groups of post smolt, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) (initial weight 148 ± 17 g) were fed diets with different lipid content and composition of pro- and antioxidants (vitamin E, vitamin C, astaxanthin, Fe, Cu and Mn). The composition of the experimental diets was based on a multivariate reduced factorial design (RFD) (27–3) with either high (+1) or low (–1) level (within limits of toxicity and requirement) of each of the seven dietary variables. Lipid class and fatty acid (FA) composition was analysed in retina, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL). Further FA composition was analysed in fillet, liver and plasma. High dietary lipid increased growth, feed efficiency, fillet lipid level and the amount of LDL and HDL in plasma, whereas high dietary copper and high dietary vitamin E decreased the amount of plasma LDL. High dietary vitamin E decreased the amount of lipid and protein in LDL, whereas high dietary lipid increased cholesterol and cholesterol ester levels in plasma and HDL and the amount of lipid in LDL. Dietary astaxanthin and manganese affected retina PE levels. The FA composition did not differ significantly between the 16 diets. Dietary FA composition was reflected in fillet FA composition and gradually less in VLDL, LDL, HDL, plasma, liver and retina FA composition. Dietary lipid content influenced FA composition to some extent in the analysed tissues, i.e. generally high dietary lipid content led to a decreased relative amount of saturated and monoene fatty acids and an increase of the relative amount of polyene fatty acids.
