Abstract
The nutritional selenium (Se) has been demonstrated to have health-boosting effects on fish. However, its effect on fish energy metabolism remains unclear. This study explores the effect and underlying mechanism of the action of nutritional Se on energy metabolism in fish. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed a basal diet (0 mg Se/kg diet) and a diet containing an already established nutritional Se level (2 mg Se/kg diet, based on Se-yeast) for 30 days. After the feeding experiment, the plasma and liver biochemical profiles and liver transcriptome were analyzed. The results showed that the present nutritional level of Se significantly increased liver triglyceride, total cholesterol, and plasma total cholesterol contents (P < 0.05) compared with the control. Transcriptome analysis showed that 336 and 219 genes were significantly upregulated and downregulated, respectively. Gene enrichment analysis showed that many differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were associated with lipid metabolism pathways (fatty acid biosynthesis, fatty acid elongation, and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis), carbohydrate metabolism pathways (glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and the citrate cycle), and the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. Real-time quantitative PCR (Q-PCR) validation results showed that the expression profiles of 15 genes exhibited similar trends both in RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and Q-PCR analysis. These results reveal that optimum dietary Se activates glucose catabolic processes, fatty acid biosynthetic processes, and energy production and hence produces higher liver lipid content. This study concludes that the previously established level of nutritional Se (Se-yeast) (2 mg/kg diet, fed basis) for rainbow trout promotes energy storage in the liver, which may benefit fish growth to some extent.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) deficiency and excess can lead to protein degradation in fish. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is the main pathway of muscle proteolysis. This study aimed to investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of dietary Se on ubiquitin-mediated muscle protein degradation in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The fish were fed with the Se-deficient diet (0 mg/kg, DSe), Se-adequate diet (4 mg/kg, ASe), and Se-excessive diet (16 mg/kg, ESe), respectively. After a 10-week feeding trial, the growth performance, body composition, antioxidant enzyme activities, and UPS-related gene and protein expressions were detected. Results indicated that DSe and ESe diets significantly decreased the weight gain rate, specific growth rate, feed efficiency, and muscle crude protein content compared with ASe diet. The histological analysis showed that the mean diameter of muscle fibers was significantly decreased in DSe and ESe groups. And DSe and ESe diets significantly increased the contents of malondialdehyde and nitric oxide, but reduced the glutathione peroxidase activity. Additionally, the abundance of muscle ubiquitinated proteins and the expression levels of MuRF1 and Atrogin-1 were significantly increased in DSe and ESe groups. Compared to ASe diet, DSe and ESe diets significantly decreased the phosphorylation level of Akt Ser473 and the ratio of p-FoxO3a/FoxO3a, but significantly increased the phosphorylation level of IκBα and upregulated the expressions of TNF-α, IL-8, and NF-κB. Overall, this study indicated that dietary Se deficiency and excess accelerated the ubiquitin-mediated muscle protein degradation through regulating Akt/FoxO3a and NF-κB signaling pathways in rainbow trout.

Abstract
Ficus carica polysaccharides (FCPS), one of the most effective and important compo-nents in Ficus carica L., had been considered to be a beneficial immunostimulant and may be used in immunotherapy for animals and human. However, studies were little about the effect of FCPS used as immunomodulatory and the suitable dosage in fish. The present study investigated the effect of four different dietary levels of FCPS (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.8%) on the growth performance, innate immune responses and survival of crucian carp against Aeromonas hydrophila infection. The results showed that compared with control group, dietary FCPS had positive effects the growth performance (final weight, feed conversion ratio and survival rate) of crucian carp. FCPS induced significant higher (p < 0.05) leukocyte phagocytosis activity, serum bactericidal activity, lysozyme activity, com-plement C3, SOD activity and total protein level in the serum of crucian carp. Moreover, innate immune response of fish in FCPS groups increased first and then decreased with increasing dietary FCPS from 0.1% to 0.8%, and reached up to the peak in 0.4% dietary FCPS groups. Besides, the cumulative mortalities in FCPS groups were remarkably lower than that of control group when challenged with A. hydrophila, the relative percent survivals were 22.67%, 55.56%, 62.22% and 17.78% in 0.1% group, 0.2% group, 0.4% group and 0.8% group, respectively. These results suggested that dietary FCPS could improve the growth performance, innate immune response and disease resistance against A. hydrophila in fish, and the suitable dietary dose of FCPS was 0.4% in crucian carp.

Abstract
Among the trace elements, selenium (Se) has great demand as a health supplement. Compared to its other forms, selenium nanoparticles have minor toxicity, superior reactivity, and excellent bioavailability. The present study was conducted to produce selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) via a biosynthetic approach using probiotic Bacillus subtilis BSN313 in an economical and easy manner. The BSN313 exhibited a gradual increase in Se reduction and production of SeNPs up to 5-200 µg/mL of its environmental Se. However, the capability was decreased beyond that concentration. The capacity for extracellular SeNP production was evidenced by the emergence of red color, then confirmed by a microscopic approach. Produced SeNPs were purified, freeze-dried, and subsequently characterized systematically using UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, Zetasizer, SEM-EDS, and TEM techniques. SEM-EDS analysis proved the presence of selenium as the foremost constituent of SeNPs. With an average particle size of 530 nm, SeNPs were shown to have a -26.9 (mV) zeta potential and -2.11 µm cm/Vs electrophoretic mobility in water. SeNPs produced during both the 24 and 48 h incubation periods showed good antioxidant activity in terms of DPPH and ABST scavenging action at a concentration of 150 µg/mL with no significant differences (p > 0.05). Moreover, 200 µg/mL of SeNPs showed antibacterial reactivity against Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 9027, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 25923. In the future, this work will be helpful to produce biogenic SeNPs using probiotic Bacillus subtilis BSN313 as biofactories, with the potential for safe use in biomedical and nutritional applications.

Abstract
In recent years, multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria have increased rapidly, representing a major threat to human health. This problem has created an urgent need to identify alternatives for the treatment of MDR bacteria. The aim of this study was to identify the antibacterial activity of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) and selenium nanowires (SeNWs) against MDR bacteria and assess the potential synergistic effects when combined with a conventional antibiotic (linezolid). SeNPs and SeNWs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential, and UV-visible analysis. The antibacterial effects of SeNPs and SeNWs were confirmed by the macro-dilution minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test. SeNPs showed MIC values against methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA), methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA), and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) at concentrations of 20, 80, 320, and >320 μg/mL, respectively. On the other hand, SeNWs showed a MIC value of >320 μg/mL against all tested bacteria. Therefore, MSSA, MRSA, and VRSA were selected for the bacteria to be tested, and SeNPs were selected as the antimicrobial agent for the following experiments. In the time-kill assay, SeNPs at a concentration of 4X MIC (80 and 320 μg/mL) showed bactericidal effects against MSSA and MRSA, respectively. At a concentration of 2X MIC (40 and 160 μg/mL), SeNPs showed bacteriostatic effects against MSSA and bactericidal effects against MRSA, respectively. In the synergy test, SeNPs showed a synergistic effect with linezolid (LZD) through protein degradation against MSSA and MRSA. In conclusion, these results suggest that SeNPs can be candidates for antibacterial substitutes and supplements against MDR bacteria for topical use, such as dressings. However, for use in clinical situations, additional experiments such as toxicity and synergistic mechanism tests of SeNPs are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selenium has a major role in male reproduction and antioxidative mechanisms. Although deficiency of this element can result in damages to the body's organs, this metalloid can induce deleterious effects in organisms by causing oxidative stress. This study assessed the spermatotoxicity of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) in goldfish (Carassius auratus) based on genotoxicity, antioxidant status, sperm quality, and histopathology. METHODS The fish with an average weight of 70 g (n = 288) were divided into four experimental groups (three replicates) and fed three times a day with SeNPs at different levels of 0, 0.1, 0.5, and 1 mg kg diet for 30 and 60 days. RESULTS After 30 and 60 days of feeding trial, compared to the control group, spermatocrit percentage markedly decreased at 1 mg kg SeNPs on day 30 as well as at 0.5 and 1 mg kg on day 60 (p < 0.05). Computer-assisted sperm analysis parameters especially VCL, VSL, and VAP decreased in response to SeNPs (p < 0.05). Percentage of fast speed progressive sperm cells was highest in fish fed with 0.1 mg kg SeNPs following the dietary experiment and significantly reduced in a SeNPs dose-dependent manner (p < 0.05). In addition, the levels of Malondialdehyde and Glutathione peroxidase were significantly elevated in seminal plasma of all SeNPs-treated groups (p < 0.05). On day 60, DNA damage of sperm was greatly increased at 1 mg kg SeNPs (p < 0.05). Moreover, the highest percentage of spermatocyte and spermatid were observed at the highest dose of SeNPs while the highest percentage of spermatozoa was recorded at the lowest and moderate SeNPs doses. CONCLUSION These findings suggested that non-optimal doses of SeNPs could reduce sperm quality, induce oxidative stress, and DNA damage in sperm, and disrupt testis development.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2019; 254:112963. [PMID: 31377336 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2019.112963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2019] [Revised: 07/04/2019] [Accepted: 07/25/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Whereas early life stages are usually considered as particularly sensitive to both organic and inorganic contaminants, field studies assessing contaminant bioaccumulation in these stages are scarce. Selenium (Se) is thought to counteract Hg toxic effects when it is found at Se:Hg molar ratios above 1. However, the variation of this ratio in key fish tissues of different early life stages is mostly unknown. The present study therefore aimed to assess Hg and Se content in gravid female tissues (gonads, muscle, liver, gut, and brain) and different life stages (egg masses, newly hatched larvae (NHL), larvae and juvenile) of Yellow Perch (YP) in a large fluvial lake (Lake Saint-Pierre, Québec, Canada). Se:Hg molar ratios were measured for each compartment in order to fill associated knowledge gaps. Total Hg (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentration varied between tissue according to the following trend: Muscle > Liver > Gut > Brain > Gonads. During YP early life stages, MeHg values increased according to an ontogenetic pattern (mg/kg dw) (mean ± SEM): Egg masses (0.01 ± 0.002) < NHL (0.015 ± 0.001) < Larvae (0.14 ± 0.01) < Juveniles (0.18 ± 0.01). Se concentrations in different YP tissues showed the following trend (mg/kg dw) (mean ± SEM): Gut (3.6 ± 0.1) > Liver (2.5 ± 0.1) > Gonads (1.92 ± 0.06) > Brain (1.26 ± 0.03) > Muscle (1.23 ± 0.06). In YP early life stages, Se concentrations were highest in NHL (3.0 ± 0.2), and then decreased as follows: Egg masses (2.8 ± 0.1) > Larvae (1.37 ± 0.04) > Juveniles (0.93 ± 0.05). Se:Hg molar ratios varied considerably and were systematically above 1. This is the first study to simultaneously report Hg and Se bioaccumulation through fish life cycle.

Khadra M, Caron A, Planas D, Ponton DE, Rosabal M, Amyot M. The fish or the egg: Maternal transfer and subcellular partitioning of mercury and selenium in Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens). THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 675:604-614. [PMID: 31035199 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.04.226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2018] [Revised: 04/12/2019] [Accepted: 04/15/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Mercury (Hg) is a trace element of particular concern since it is ubiquitous in the environment and because its methylated form (MeHg) readily bioaccumulates and biomagnifies in food webs. This latter process leads to elevated Hg concentrations in fish and may thus induce toxicity. Maternal transfer of bioaccumulated contaminants to offspring is a suggested mechanism of impaired reproductive success in fish. The purpose of this study was to assess the toxicity potential of Hg during maternal transfer in Yellow Perch from Lake Saint-Pierre (Quebec, Canada) using a subcellular partitioning approach. We also evaluated potential protective effects of selenium, as this element has been shown to alleviate Hg toxicity through sequestration. A customized subcellular partitioning protocol was used to separate liver and gonad of Yellow Perch into various subcellular fractions. Results show that, in the liver, MeHg was primarily (51%) associated to the subcellular fraction containing cytosolic enzymes. Furthermore, 23% and 15% of MeHg was found in hepatic and gonadal mitochondria, respectively, suggesting that Yellow Perch is not effectively detoxifying this metal. There was also a strong relationship (R2 = 0.73) between MeHg bioaccumulation in the liver and MeHg concentrations in gonadal mitochondria, which corroborates the potential risk linked to MeHg maternal transfer. On the other hand, we also found that selenium might have a protective effect on Hg toxicity at a subcellular level. In fact, Se:Hg molar ratios in subcellular fractions were systematically above 1 in all tissues and fractions examined, which corresponds to the suggested protective threshold. This study provides the first assessment of subcellular Se:Hg molar ratios in fish. Since early developmental stages in aquatic biota are particularly sensitive to Hg, this study represents a step forward in understanding the likelihood for toxic effects in wild fish through maternal transfer.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary selenium (nanoparticles, organic, and inorganic forms), curcumin (CUR), and their combination on survival, growth performance, body composition, innate immune responses, and glutathione peroxidase activity of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). CUR at level of 400 mg/kg dry diet and each of selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs), organic selenium (Sel-Plax®), and sodium selenite at level of 1 mg/kg Se dry diet were added to basal diet. A total of 240 rainbow trout with mean initial weight of 14.65 ± 0.86 g were fed eight diets including control (basal diet), CUR, Se-NPs, Se-NPs + CUR, organic Se, organic Se + CUR, sodium Se, and sodium Se + CUR for 8 weeks. No significant increase in survival rate, growth performance, feed utilization, and body composition was observed in fish-fed CUR and Se included diets compared to control (P > 0.05). The highest lysozyme and alternative hemolytic complement activity was observed in fish-fed CUR and organic Se + CUR-supplemented diets (P < 0.05). Fish-fed Se-NPs and Se-NPs + CUR-supplemented diets had the highest glutathione peroxidase activity (P < 0.05). The results of the present study indicated that the combination of CUR and Se in nanoparticles and organic forms was more effective in promoting innate immune responses of rainbow trout compared to the other combined or separated Se and CUR forms.

Abstract
In the present study, immunoenhancing effect of β-1, 3 glucan binding protein based selenium nanowire (Phβ-GBP-SeNWs) in common carp, Cyprinus carpio was assessed. Biological based selenium nanoform was synthesized, using crustacean immune molecule β-GBP purified from the haemolymph of Paratelphusa hydrodromus. The morphological property of Phβ-GBP-SeNWs was analyzed through TEM which reveals, the synthesized nanowire exhibits approximately 30-50 nm width with smooth surface. For this current study, fish were fed with experimental diet includes Phβ-GBP, sodium selenite, selenomethionine and Phβ-GBP-SeNWs supplemented diet at different concentrations (0.5 mg, 1 mg and 2 mg) for 30 days. The growth performance, cellular and humoral immune responses (myeloperoxidase, reactive oxygen species, alkaline phosphatase and lysozyme activity) and antioxidant enzymes (glutathione peroxidase and catalase activity) in the fish fed with Phβ-GBP-SeNWs supplemented diet were significantly increased in dose-dependent manner, which was observed at two different interval period (15th and 30th day). Also, Phβ-GBP-SeNWs supplemented diet fed fish gain resistant after challenged with aquatic pathogen Aeromonas hydrophila and the relative survival percentage was increased. Agar disc diffusion and BacLight assay clearly demonstrated the antibacterial property of plasma of fish fed with Phβ-GBP-SeNWs supplemented diet against aquatic pathogen A. hydrophila, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio alginolyticus. Moreover, confocal laser scanning microscopic analysis clearly showed that, Phβ-GBP-SeNWs supplemented diet fed fish plasma was more efficient in disrupting the architecture of bacterial colonies and thereby reduced the thickness of biofilm. Thus, the present study indicates that, incorporation of Phβ-GBP-SeNWs in the diet enhances the fish immune responses and disease resistance against aquatic pathogens.

Abstract
An environment friendly and sustainable approach is being emerged in the area of nanotechnology for accelerated growth and development of culturable aquatic animals hence green chemistry is gaining momentum in recent years. The present study has been carried out to delineate the effects of selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) on growth performance, antioxidative status and immunity of fish reared under lead (Pb) and high temperature (34 °C). Three hundred and fifteen fish were equally distributed in seven treatments in triplicates. Three isocaloric and isonitrogenous experimental diets viz. control (Se-NPs-0 mg/kg), Se-NPs at 1 mg/kg and Se-NPs at 2 mg/kg were formulated. The fish were reared under lead (Pb, 1/21st of LC50 (4 ppm)) and high temperature (34 °C) stress and fed with or without dietary Se-NPs. The effects of dietary Se-NPs were studied in terms of growth performance (Weight gain %, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio and specific growth rate), antioxidative status (catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase), neurotransmitter enzymes (AChE), stress biomarkers (heat shock protein 70, serum cortisol, blood glucose, vitamin C), immunological status (total protein, A/G ratio and respiratory burst activity) in Pangasinodon hypophthalmus post challenge with Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria. Results of the investigation demonstrated significant improvement of growth performance, antioxidative status, neurotransmitter enzyme activity, stress markers and more importantly enhanced immunity of the fish with dietary incorporation of Se-NPs at 1 mg/kg. In addition, post bacterial infection, the relative % survival increased and cumulative mortality % decreased in the group fed with Se-NPs at 1 mg/kg diet. Pb and high temperature treated and fed with control diet group showed devastating impact on the growth performance, antioxidative status, stress markers and immunity of the fish. Similarly, application of Se-NPs at 2 mg/kg showed poor growth performance and elevated level of oxidative stress and other stress biomarkers including other biochemical attributes. Inclusive results indicated that, Se-NPs at 1 mg/kg has capability to enhance overall performance and alleviate multiple stresses in P. hypophthalmus. Hence, Se-NPs at optimum level have ability to develop green chemistry in feed industry for better growth performance of the fish.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary selenium on resistance to skin haemorrhages and lesions and on immune function as well as the underlying mechanisms of those effects in the head kidney, spleen and skin of young grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). A total of 540 healthy grass carp with initial body weight (226.48 ± 0.68 g) were randomly divided into six groups and fed six separate diets with graded dietary levels of selenium (0.025, 0.216, 0.387, 0.579, 0.795 and 1.049 mg/kg diet) for 80 days. After the feeding period, an immunization trial was performed by infection with Aeromonas hydrophila for 14 days. The results showed that, compared with the optimal selenium level, (1) selenium deficiency impaired the production of antibacterial compounds and immunoglobulins and down-regulated the transcript abundances of antimicrobial peptides and selenoproteins; (2) selenium deficiency aggravated inflammatory responses in part by up-regulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and down-regulating anti-inflammatory cytokines mRNA levels, which were partially related to [IKKα, β, γ/IκBα/NF-κB] signalling and [TOR/(S6K1, 4E-BP1)] signalling, respectively. Interestingly, selenium deficiency had no effect on the expression of TGF-β2, IL-4/13B, IL-10, IL-12p35, IL-15 (skin only) or 4E-BP2 in the head kidney, spleen and skin of young grass carp. Finally, based on the percent weight gain (PWG), the morbidity of skin haemorrhages and lesions, the ACP activity in the head kidney and the lysozyme activity in spleen, the optimal dietary selenium requirements for young grass carp were estimated to be 0.546-0.604 mg/kg diet. In summary, selenium deficiency decreased the growth performance and impaired the immune function in the head kidney, spleen and skin of young grass carp.

Abstract
Atrazine (ATZ) is a herbicide worldwide used. That can cause oxidative damage in non-target organisms, such as fish. Furthermore, the threat of exposure to pesticides together with poor nutrition is hazardous to the normal development of fish, and supplementation of the fish diet with antioxidants compounds is an alternative approach to prevent the hazardous effects of pesticide exposure. Here we aimed to investigate the capacity of diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)2 diet supplementation to improve the antioxidant defense of Cyprinus carpio (carp) exposed to environmental concentrations of ATZ. To prove the efficiency of (PhSe)2, we used the Integrated Biomarkers Response (IBR) methodology. Therefore, carp were fed for 8 weeks diets either with or without (PhSe)2 and exposed to 2 or 10µg/L of ATZ for 96h, euthanized, and their liver, gills, and muscle tissues were removed for biochemical assays. ATZ was able to cause oxidative damage from reactive species production in all tissues of carp, as observed by the increase of lipid peroxidation and protein damage. The activity of some antioxidant enzymes was inhibited in carp exposed to ATZ. However, (PhSe)2 supplementation was able to prevent this ATZ-induced damage by improving the activities of antioxidant enzymes and through antioxidant competence of (PhSe)2per se. Furthermore, IBR was shown to be a useful tool to compare treatments, even at different concentrations, and identify the efficiently antioxidant behavior of the organoselenium compound.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin E deficiency on systematic pathological changes and oxidative stress in fish. A total of 320 healthy common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were randomized into four groups; the control group was fed a basal diet supplemented with 100 IUkg-1 of vitamin E, while the three experimental groups were fed the same basal diet with reduced vitamin E content (0, 25, or 50 IUkg-1). Findings showed that fish in the experimental groups mainly presented with sekoke disease, exophthalmia, leprnorthsis, and ascites. Histopathological and ultrastructural changes comprised nutritional myopathy with muscle fiber denaturation and necrosis, and multi-tissue organ swelling, degeneration, and necrosis. Compared with the control group, RBC count, hemoglobin content, vitamin E concentration, and superoxide dismutase activity were significantly lower in all three experimental groups. However, malondialdehyde content was considerably higher in experimental groups than in the control group. However, there was no difference in glutathione peroxidase activity among groups. In conclusion, dietary vitamin E deficiency (<100 IUkg-1) can cause severe injury and, in particular, oxidative damage in common carp. The oxidative damage might be a main influence caused by vitamin E deficiency in fish. These findings reveal the complete systematic pathological effect of vitamin E deficiency in common carp, which may be applicable to other fish and animals.

Abstract
Soybean meal (SBM) has been commonly utilised as a substitute for fishmeal (FM) in the diets of several fish species. However, little is known regarding their effects on trace element availability and thus their importance to fish. The present study employed two feeding trials to evaluate the implications of dietary selenium (Se) on the growth, accumulation, antioxidant, and histopathological responses of juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer). In the first trial, each of three basal diets containing 0, 15 and 43 % SBM as replacements for 0, 25 and 75 % of FM protein on an isoproteic and isocalorific basis were either supplemented or not supplemented with 2 mg kg-1 organic Se (OS). In the second trial, the potential effect of OS supplementation in a high SBM diet was investigated in a feeding trial with five experimental diets: 75 % SBM protein as replacement of FM was supplemented with 2, 3, 4, 5 or 7 mg OS kg-1. Growth was independently influenced by the SBM level and the OS supplementation level but not by their interaction. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, haematocrit, Se accumulation and muscle tissue integrity were significantly enhanced in fish fed on OS-supplemented diets. Furthermore, when high SBM was included in diets, elevated Se tended to lower the barramundi's performance. These findings suggest that dietary supplementation of OS at 2-3 g kg-1 diet is necessary when high plant protein ingredients are incorporated in the diet, in order to maintain better growth and to afford protection against oxidative stress.

Plant polysaccharides used as immunostimulants enhance innate immune response and disease resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila infection in fish. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2016; 59:196-202. [PMID: 27794459 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2016.10.039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2016] [Revised: 10/19/2016] [Accepted: 10/26/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Plant polysaccharides (PPS) are an important medicinal plant product, and play a major role in preventing and controlling infectious microbes in aquaculture. The present study investigated the effect of three PPS; Ficus carica polysaccharides (FCPS), Radix isatidis polysaccharides (RIPS), and Schisandra chinensis polysaccharides (SCPS), used as feed additives, on innate immune responses and disease resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila in crucian carp. Results show that crucian carp fed with these PPS showed significant (p < 0.05) enhancement of their innate immune response including leukocyte phagocytosis activity, serum bactericidal activity, lysozyme activity, total protein level, complement C3, and superoxide dismutase activity compared with the control group. Their degree of influence on these immune parameters was in the order of FCPS > RIPS > SCPS, except for lysozyme activity (RIPS > FCPS > SCPS). In addition, fish cumulative mortalities in the three treatment groups were remarkably lower than in the control group (95%) when challenged with A. hydrophila, relative percent survivals were 57.9%, 47.4%, and 42.1% in FCPS, RIPS, and SCPS groups, respectively. These results suggest that FCPS, RIPS, and SCPS used as immunostimulants are capable of enhancing immune responses and disease resistance against A. hydrophila in crucian carp, and that FCPS was the most effective. The findings from this study will help accelerate research of this topic, and promote the application and development of immunostimulants, such as Chinese herbs, in aquaculture.

Influence of the forms and levels of dietary selenium on antioxidant status and oxidative stress-related parameters in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry. Br J Nutr 2015; 113:1876-87. [PMID: 25990817 DOI: 10.1017/s0007114515001300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
Se is an essential micronutrient required for normal growth, development and antioxidant defence. The objective of the present study was to assess the impact of dietary Se sources and levels on the antioxidant status of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry. First-feeding fry (initial body weight: 91 mg) were fed either a plant- or fishmeal-based diet containing 0·5 or 1·2 mg Se/kg diet supplemented or not with 0·3 mg Se/kg diet supplied as Se-enriched yeast or sodium selenite for 12 weeks at 17°C. Growth and survival of rainbow trout fry were not significantly affected by dietary Se sources and levels. Whole-body Se was raised by both Se sources and to a greater extent by Se-yeast. The reduced:oxidised glutathione ratio was raised by Se-yeast, whereas other lipid peroxidation markers were not affected by dietary Se. Whole-body Se-dependent glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity was enhanced in fish fed Se-yeast compared to fish fed sodium selenite or non-supplemented diets. Activity and gene expression of this enzyme as well as gene expression of selenoprotein P (SelP) were reduced in fish fed the non-supplemented plant-based diet. Catalase, glutamate-cysteine ligase and nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) gene expressions were reduced by Se-yeast. These results suggest the necessity to supplement plant-based diets with Se for rainbow trout fry, and highlight the superiority of organic form of Se to fulfil the dietary Se requirement and sustain the antioxidant status of fish. GPX and SelP expression proved to be good markers of Se status in fish.
