Improving effectiveness of environmental enrichment: The role of light intensity in rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) rearing
Environmental enrichment is a potential approach to enhance the fitness and survival of hatchery fish stocked for conservation purposes. Its effectiveness presumably depends not only on ecologically relevant features of physical enrichment but also on light condition applied. Despite the importance, few studies have reported on the role of light in enriched rearing. This study sought to optimize the enriched rearing of juvenile rock bream (Oplegnathus fasciatus) particularly regarding their physiological and behavioral performance by regulating light intensity. Juveniles were reared in either standard tanks (no enrichment) or enriched tanks with polyethylene ropes simulating drifting algae at three different light intensities (400, 800 or 1600 lux) for 32 days. Our findings revealed that cortisol levels of the fish increased with light intensity even in the presence of the physical structure. No significant effect of light intensity was detected on growth. Compared to standard fish, fish reared with enrichment showed higher levels of caudal fin damage and cortisol at all the light intensities, suggesting increased chronic stress; in addition, the fish displayed higher shelter-seeking behavior. These results highlight the importance of maintaining low light intensities to minimize chronic stress in the fish. Moreover, adjustments to the enriched rearing condition are recommended to mitigate adverse effects on physiological aspects before incorporated into practical implementation in stock enhancement programs.
期刊介绍:
This journal publishes relevant information on the behaviour of domesticated and utilized animals.
Topics covered include:
-Behaviour of farm, zoo and laboratory animals in relation to animal management and welfare
-Behaviour of companion animals in relation to behavioural problems, for example, in relation to the training of dogs for different purposes, in relation to behavioural problems
-Studies of the behaviour of wild animals when these studies are relevant from an applied perspective, for example in relation to wildlife management, pest management or nature conservation
-Methodological studies within relevant fields
The principal subjects are farm, companion and laboratory animals, including, of course, poultry. The journal also deals with the following animal subjects:
-Those involved in any farming system, e.g. deer, rabbits and fur-bearing animals
-Those in ANY form of confinement, e.g. zoos, safari parks and other forms of display
-Feral animals, and any animal species which impinge on farming operations, e.g. as causes of loss or damage
-Species used for hunting, recreation etc. may also be considered as acceptable subjects in some instances
-Laboratory animals, if the material relates to their behavioural requirements
