Abstract
This study investigated the effects of dietary soya-saponins (SS) on the growth and intestinal health of juvenile largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Four isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated: a fish meal (FM)-based control diet and three experimental diets supplemented with 0.1 %, 0.2 %, and 0.6 % SS (SS0.1, SS0.2, and SS0.6, respectively). Largemouth bass with initial individual body weight of 7.60 ± 0.0 g were randomly allocated to four groups in triplicate with 20 individuals in each tank. The experiment lasted for 56 days. The results demonstrated that SS significantly reduced the growth performance compared with FM group (P < 0.05). SS significantly reduced plica height and width, and goblet cell counts compared with FM group (P < 0.05). Additionally, SS caused pathological changes in intestinal cells and organelles, including microvillar disorganization, nuclear pyknosis, mitochondrial cristolysis, and endoplasmic reticulum dilation, most severe in SS0.6 group. SS0.6 group markedly decreased serum lipopolysaccharide, D-lactate, and diamine oxidase compared with FM group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, SS0.2 and SS0.6 groups significantly reduced serum acid and alkaline phosphatase activities and elevated alanine and aspartate aminotransferase and total bile acid levels compared with FM group (P < 0.05). SS0.2 and SS0.6 groups significantly reduced intestinal superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, total antioxidant capacity compared with FM group (P < 0.05). SS0.6 group significantly increased the abundance of potential pathogens (Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Escherichia-Shigella, and Serratia) compared with the FM group (P < 0.05). SS0.6 and FM comparison group significantly downregulated the PI3K-Akt and B cell receptor signaling pathways. SS0.6 group markedly downregulated intestinal barrier function genes (zo-1, claudin3, claudin8, and nectin4), il22 and c3, as well as significantly upregulated cox2 and ccl4 (P < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary SS adversely affects the growth performance and intestinal health of juvenile largemouth bass, potentially via microbiota dysregulation and inflammatory responses.

期刊介绍:
Aquaculture Reports will publish original research papers and reviews documenting outstanding science with a regional context and focus, answering the need for high quality information on novel species, systems and regions in emerging areas of aquaculture research and development, such as integrated multi-trophic aquaculture, urban aquaculture, ornamental, unfed aquaculture, offshore aquaculture and others. Papers having industry research as priority and encompassing product development research or current industry practice are encouraged.
