The present study investigated the effects of PPS supplementation to a high-carbohydrate diet on growth performance, lipid metabolism, immunity, antioxidant capacity, intestinal morphology, and microbial composition in rabbitfish (<i>Siganus canaliculatus</i>). Rabbitfish were fed a basal starch diet (BSD, 15% starch) and high-starch diets (HSD, 25% starch) supplemented with varying levels of PPS (0%, 1.25%, 2.5%, and 5%) for 8 weeks. The results showed that HSD intake significantly decreased body weight and increased hepatosomatic index compared to rabbitfish fed BSD. But all dietary levels of PPS reversed these two indicators of fish fed HSD. In addition, the supplementation of 2.5% and 5% PPS significantly reduced the higher lipid contents in whole fish and abdominal muscle of fish fed HSD. Notably, 2.5% PPS reduced lipid droplets in the liver, possibly through the downregulation of genes associated with lipid synthesis and the upregulation of genes associated with lipid catabolism. Moreover, all levels of PPS supplementation decreased the higher serum alanine aminotransferase activity in fish fed HSD, indicating the alleviation of HSD-induced liver impairment. Additionally, PPS inclusion significantly increased the activity of serum lysozyme, superoxide dismutase, and catalase while decreasing serum malondialdehyde in fish fed HSD, suggesting improvements in immunity and antioxidant capacity. Furthermore, PPS inclusion mitigated damage to intestinal villi induced by HSD. Interestingly, 2.5% PPS increased the abundance of Bacteroidetes and Tenericutes while reducing the abundance of Proteobacteria and Spirochetes, indicating the reshaping of gut microbiota. In summary, dietary PPS alleviated the negative effects of HSD on growth performance, lipid metabolism, immunity, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal morphology and altered microbial composition in rabbitfish. This highlighted the beneficial effects of dietary PPS in fish and suggested it could contribute to the new strategies for treating metabolic syndrome and health impacts in aquatic animals.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":8225,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture Nutrition","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/7022813","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142525218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially met with skepticism, insect meal is now seen as a promising ingredient because of its high nutrient profile. Research worldwide is exploring its potential as a FM replacement. Insects are abundant, nutritious, and environmentally friendly, as they can be reared on organic waste, minimizing the need for land, water, and energy. This research aims at obtaining a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the current status and research trend patterns in this research field. To achieve this goal, this study conducts a mini systematic review and scientometric analysis of the global research published from 2013 to 2022 on the usage of insect meal in aquaculture. In the scientometric analysis, a total of 354 papers published by 1800 authors in 124 different journals from the Web of Science (WoS) core collection were analyzed, evaluating the number of publications, most relevant authors, organizations, top cited countries, most globally cited publications, and trending research themes in this field. The result showed that the University of Turin was the leading organization in insect meal research, whereas aquaculture was the leading journal, and author Laura Gasco was the prominent researcher in this field in the studied time frame (2013–2022). Italy was the leading country in Europe, while China dominated Asia in terms of the number of publications. The annual growth rate in insect meal research was found to be positive (23.11%), with 36.95 average citations per document.

Fish cannot synthesize Ax de novo, therefore, the only way to increase flesh redness is to increase dietary input or improve the absorption and retention rate of dietary Ax. As a hydrophobic carotenoid, the absorption of Ax can be modulated by other lipid molecules in the diet. The present study explored the effect of three lipids, cholesterol (CH), phytosterol (PS), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on Ax absorption, transport, and retention in rainbow trout. Dietary CH significantly improved Ax absorption by elevating plasma Ax levels (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05); however, it had no effect on the whole body Ax or flesh color. Dietary PS appears to inhibit Ax absorption since fish had significantly (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) reduced whole body Ax. Dietary DHA appeared to have no effect on Ax absorption or retention. By comparing intestinal transcriptomes, a low density lipoprotein receptor (<i>ldlr</i>) gene was significantly downregulated in fish fed the CH diet as compared to the control diet. Since LDLR protein plays a major role in plasma lipoprotein turnover, we hypothesized that the inhibition of <i>ldlr</i> gene by high dietary CH resulted in higher retention of plasma Ax. The elevation of plasma Ax was not reflected in higher flesh coloration, which suggested other limiting factors governing Ax retention in the muscle. On the other hand, the transcriptomic and proteomic analyses found no changes of genes or proteins involved in Ax absorption, transport, or excretion in fish fed PS or DHA diets as compared to the control diet. In conclusion, this study has suggested that CH promotes Ax absorption by regulating lipoprotein retention and provide evidence for improving Ax absorption via dietary modulation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":8225,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture Nutrition","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/8265746","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that diets RS and RC significantly inhibited the expression of cell development and apoptosis-related genes (<i>β-catenin</i>, <i>CyclinD1</i>, <i>BAX</i>, <i>Bid</i>); diets RS and RC significantly increased the expression of intestinal tight junction protein <i>claudin-4</i>, while RS group significantly decreased the expression of <i>myosin light chain kinase</i>; diets RS and RC significantly decreased the expression of proinflammatory factors (<i>IL-13</i>, <i>IL-15</i>, <i>IFN- γ</i>), diet RS also significantly decreased the expression of <i>TNF-α</i> and <i>AP-1</i>, and increased the expression of <i>TGF-β</i>. 16s rRNA gene sequencing results showed that diets RS and RC significantly decreased the abundance of conditional pathogenic bacteria (<i>Corynebacterium</i>, <i>Desulfovibrio</i>, <i>Escherichia-Shigella</i>). Among them, the abundance of <i>Bacillus</i> in the RS group was the highest. It is concluded that the combination of stachyose and <i>B. megaterium</i> R32 had a more positive effect on intestinal cell development and barrier function and strengthened the intestinal mucosal defense system of turbot.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":8225,"journal":{"name":"Aquaculture Nutrition","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/8658386","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142360052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
