Abstract
The composition of fatty acids in the muscle tissue of the unique Central Asian carp-like fish, Potanin Altai osman Oreoleuciscus potanini, was studied for the first time. The populations of these fish in the reservoirs of the semiarid zone (Durgun and Taishir) during the period of their formation are considered. It was shown that the content of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids in O. potanini corresponds to the median of this value in the order Cypriniformes. It was established that the basis of the food web of the herbivorous form of this species consists of microalgae (diatoms, Euglena and, possibly, chrysophytes), as well as bacteria. At the same time, the levels of bacterial biomarkers, 15-17BCFA and 17:0 were significantly higher in fish in the Durgun reservoir, whereas the level of EPA (diatom biomarker) in O. potanini was higher in the Taishir reservoir. The established higher values of the heavy nitrogen isotope content in the muscles of O. potanini from the Taishir reservoir are most likely associated with the yet unformed benthic communities and with the incomplete diversification of the riverine form of the Potanin Altai osman into lacustrine forms.

Animals (Basel) 2024; 14:544. [PMID: 38396511 PMCID: PMC10886045 DOI: 10.3390/ani14040544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an essential nutrient for humans and plays a critical role in human development and health. Freshwater fish, such as the common carp (Cyprinus carpio), have a certain degree of DHA biosynthesis ability and could be a supplemental source of human DHA needs. The elongase of very-long-chain fatty acid 5 (Elovl5) is an important enzyme affecting polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthesis. However, the function and regulatory mechanism of the elovl5 gene related to DHA synthesis in freshwater fish is not clear yet. Previous studies have found that there are two copies of the elovl5 gene, elovl5a and elovl5b, which have different functions. Our research group found significant DHA content differences among individuals in Yellow River carp (Cyprinus carpio var.), and four candidate genes were found to be related to DHA synthesis through screening. In this study, the expression level of elovl5a is decreased in the high-DHA group compared to the low-DHA group, which indicated the down-regulation of elovl5a in the DHA synthesis pathways of Yellow River carp. In addition, using a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, we found that by targeting the 3'UTR region of elovl5a, miR-26a-5p could regulate DHA synthesis in common carp. After CRISPR/Cas9 disruption of elovl5a, the DHA content in the disrupted group was significantly higher than in the wildtype group; meanwhile, the expression level of elovl5a in the disrupted group was significantly reduced compared with the wildtype group. These results suggest that elovl5a may be down-regulating DHA synthesis in Yellow River carp. This study could provide useful information for future research on the genes and pathways that affect DHA synthesis.

Promotion of fatty acid metabolism and glucose metabolism in the muscle of sub-adult grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella): The role of alpha-linoleic acid/linoleic acid (ALA/LNA) ratios. Food Chem X 2023; 19:100752.

Abstract
The n6/n3 ratios improved meat quality of terrestrial animals, but alpha-linolenic acid/linoleic acid (ALA/LNA) ratios were rarely studied in aquatic animals. In this study, sub-adult grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were fed diets fed diets containing six varying ALA/LNA ratios (0.03, 0.47, 0.92, 1.33, 1.69, and 2.15) for 9 weeks and the total value of n3 + n6 (1.98) was kept constant for all six treatments. The results indicated optimal ALA/LNA ratio improved growth performance, changed fatty acid composition in grass carp muscle, and promoted glucose metabolism. Additionally, optimal ALA/LNA ratio improved chemical attributes by increasing crude protein and lipid contents, and technological attributes by increasing pH24h value and shear force in grass carp muscle. The signaling pathways related to fatty acid metabolism and glucose metabolism (LXRα/SREBP-1, PPARα, PPARγ, AMPK) might be responsible for these changes. Dietary optimal ALA/LNA ratio based on PWG, UFA and glucose contents was 1.03, 0.88 and 0.92, respectively.

Roy K, Dvorak P, Machova Z, Mraz J. Nutrient footprint versus EPA + DHA security in land-locked regions-more of local pond farmed, imported marine fish or fish oil capsules? NPJ Sci Food 2023; 7:48. [PMID: 37689755 PMCID: PMC10492816 DOI: 10.1038/s41538-023-00224-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2023] Open
Abstract
EPA + DHA intake in land-locked central Europe (CE) is barely fulfilled. Imported marine fish/farmed salmonids are likely the backbone of an ailing EPA + DHA security. Supplementing with captured marine fish oil capsules (~0.5 g up to 1.6 g CO2-eq. mg EPA + DHA-1) could be comparable in GHG emissions with fish consumption itself (~1 g to as low as 0.6 g CO2-eq. mg EPA + DHA-1). But synergistic benefits of EPA + DHA intake by consuming fish protein need consideration too. Taking semi-intensive pond carp and intensively farmed salmon as models, we analyzed footprint, eco-services, and resource use efficiency perspectives of achieving EPA + DHA security in a CE region. Despite a lower production footprint, pond-farmed fish greatly lag in EPA + DHA supply (carp 101-181 mg 100 g-1 < salmon 750-1300 mg 100 g-1). It doubles-to-quadruples footprint 'per mg' of EPA + DHA: nitrogen (carp 18.3 > salmon 8.7 mg N), phosphorus (carp 6.8 > salmon 1.6 mg P), and climate change (carp 1.84 > salmon 0.8 g CO2-eq.). With enhancements in pond carp (>300 mg EPA + DHA 100 g-1), these differences may cease to exist. Harnessing EPA + DHA bioaccumulation pathways active in ponds, finishing feeding strategies, and polyculture, the EPA + DHA content in pond fish may be increased. Ecosystem services with EPA + DHA mining from pond food web or high EPA + DHA output-to-input ratio (pond carp 1-200 > RAS salmon 0.75) make ponds an eco-efficient system. As fish consumption in CE must improve, pond-farmed fish would be needed to complement (but not substitute) salmonid/marine fish/oil capsules consumption. Achieving EPA + DHA security with minimum pressure on the environment or global resources.

Abstract
Most diploid freshwater and marine fish encode one elovl5 elongase, having substrate specificity and activities towards C18, C20 and C22 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). The allo-tetraploid common carp is hypothesized to encode two duplicated elovl5 genes. How these two elovl5 genes adapt to coordinate the PUFA biosynthesis through elongase function and expression divergence requires elucidation. In this study, we obtained the full-length cDNA sequences of two elovl5 genes in common carp, named as elovl5a and elovl5b. Functional characterization showed that both enzymes had elongase activity towards C18, C20 and C22 PUFAs. Especially, the activities of these two enzymes towards C22 PUFAs ranged from 3.87% to 8.24%, higher than those in most freshwater and marine fish. The Elovl5a had higher elongase activities than Elovl5b towards seven substrates. The spatial-temporal expression showed that both genes co-transcribed in all tissues and development stages. However, the expression levels of elovl5b were significantly higher than those of elovl5a in all examined conditions, suggesting that elovl5b would be the dominantly expressed gene. These two genes had different potential transcriptional binding sites. These results revealed the complicated roles of elovl5 on PUFA synthesis in common carp. The data also increased the knowledge of co-ordination between two homoeologs of the polyploid fish through function and expression divergence.
