Reference Protein

The possible nutritional value of proteins prepared by isopropanol extraction of soft flesh of the sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus drobachiensis), mussels (Mytilus edulis L.), crab (Cancer irroratus), and shrimp tails (Penaeus sp.) was compared with casein in semipurified diets for juvenile lobsters. So that results of the feeding trial could be compared with other nutrition studies, a standard casein–albumin diet and frozen adult brine shrimp (Artemia salina) were fed as reference diets. While diets containing crab, mussel, and sea urchin protein all resulted in significantly greater survival than the casein-based diet, the diet containing crab protein alone was superior in both growth and survival. The diet consisting of shrimp protein was inferior to casein in all respects. The possibility of replacing casein with a crab protein isolate in reference diets for lobster nutrition studies is discussed.

Potential Use

Finding new alternatives to traditional live preys such as Artemia and rotifers, which do not always promote optimal fish growth and survival, is required for the successful aquaculture of highly specialized predatory species, including seahorses. The present study assessed the nutritional value of an interesting marine amphipod (Parhyale hawaiensis), and evaluates through a feeding trial its potential use as a natural prey for 10-months lined seahorse, Hippocampus erectus. P. hawaiensis showed high levels of valuable lipids (20.4–26.7% on dry matter basis) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) ( 26.4–41% of total FAs), including the long-chain PUFAs (LC-PUFAs) arachidonic acid (ARA) (2.9–7.7%), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (4.3–6.5%) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (2.1–6.2%). A comparison between wild-captured and cultured amphipods revealed a significant improvement of the amphipod FA profile in terms of DHA%, total omega-3 (n3) FAs and n3/n6 ratio when employing both a conventional amphipod culture based on a commercial shrimp diet, and, to a lesser extent, a large (3,500 L) biofloc system. Seahorses fed with frozen/wild amphipods, either singly or in combination with Artemia enriched with Super Selco® (INVE Aquaculture, Belgium) for 57 days, substantially improved seahorse growth and FA profiles in terms of ARA, EPA and DHA%, including indices associated to marine sources, such as Σn3 and n3/n6, compared to a diet based solely on enriched Artemia. These results support the use of marine amphipods as an alternative food organism for juvenile H. erectus and suggest a potential use for general marine aquaculture.

Purification And Properties

An enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of P1P4-diguanosine 5′-tetraphosphate (Gp4G) has been isolated and purified from yolk platelets of encysted embryos of the brine shrimp, Artemia salina. The enzyme GTP:GTP guanylyltransferase (Gp4G synthetase) utilizes GTP as substrate, has a pH optimum of 5.9–6.0, a temperature optimum of 40–42 °C, and requires Mg2+ and dithiothreitol for optimal activity. The synthesis of Gp4G is inhibited markedly by pyrophosphate, whereas orthophosphate has no effect on the reaction. In the presence of GDP the enzyme also catalyzes the synthesis of P1,P3-diguanosine 5′-triphosphate (Gp3G), but the rate of synthesis is low compared with Gp4G synthesis and dependent upon other small molecular weight components of yolk platelets.

Two Stages

Mitochondria isolated from cysts of Artemia salina (brine shrimp) were found to be devoid of cristae and to possess a low respiratory capability. Hydration of the cysts induces marked biochemical and morphological changes in the mitochondria. Their biogenesis proceeds in two stages. The first stage is completed within 1 h and is characterized by a rapid increase in the respiratory capability of the mitochondria, their cytochrome oxidase, cytochrome b, cytochrome c and perhaps some morphological changes. In the second stage there is an increase in the protein-synthesizing capacity of the mitochondria as well as striking changes in mitochondrial morphology leading to the formation of cristae.

The osmoregulation of the nauplius of the brine shrimp, Artemia salina, was investigated using micropuncture and microanalytical techniques. The naupliar body fluid, hemolymph was hyposmotic to and had lower Na concentrations than the suspending medium for the range of medium salinities from 80 to 4,900 mM NaCl. In medium containing 20 mM NaCl, the hemolymph was hyperosmotic to the medium, with osmolarity of 101 +/- 8 mosmol/1 and with [Na] of 49 +/- 11 meq/1. Whereas the maximal observed NaCl concentration gradient between hemolymph and medium was 4,785 mM, during the incubation of nauplii in artificial seawater (osmolarity: 932 mosmol/1; and [Na]: 502 meq/1) the osmolarity and [Na] of the naupliar hemolymph were 161 +/- SD 16 mosmol/1 and 86 +/- 14 meq/1, respectively. The influx and efflux of Na between medium and hemolymph were measured using 22Na. The fluxes of this ion were temperature dependent. The main site of efflux of 22Na was the neck organ as was shown by experiments of differential recovery of 22Na introduced in the hemolymph. These studies demonstrate that the nauplius of A. salina has the ability to osmoregulate not only against high environmental salinities but also against low salinities approaching those of freshwater.
