Journal ArticleDOI
Methionine Metabolism in Rainbow Trout Fed Diets of Differing Methionine and Cystine Content
TL;DR: The results suggest the operation of the transsulfuration pathway of methionine catabolism, which was related to its concentration in the tissues, and little affected by dietary cystine, was involved in the metabolism of rainbow trout fed diets.
Journal ArticleDOI
The vitamin E requirement of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) given diets containing polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from fish oil
TL;DR: In trout given the lowest dietary vitamin E intake, tissue levels of vitamin E were lowest in skeletal muscle, concentrations in most other soft tissues were about threefold that in muscle but higher levels were found in brain and increased erythrocyte fragility occurred in those fish given diets low in vitamin E.
Journal ArticleDOI
The growth of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) given diets containing chitin and its relationship to chitinolytic enzymes and chitin digestibility
TL;DR: The evidence indicates an endogenous origin of chitinolytic enzymes in the trout gastro-intestinal tract, and the presence of either antibiotic or bacteria in the diet had no effect on the digestibility of Chitin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyridoxine requirements of the gilthead bream, Sparus aurata☆
TL;DR: Minimal dietary pyridoxine requirements of the gilthead bream were determined and signs of deficiency were manifested as growth retardation, high mortality, poor food conversion, hyperirritability coupled with erratic swimming behavior and degenerative changes in peripheral nerves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capacity of the European Eel (Anguilla anguilla) to Elongate and Desaturate Dietary Linoleic Acid
TL;DR: The ability of eels to further desaturate and chain elongate linoleic acid, 18:2n-6, was studied by feeding diets containing either corn oil or a fish oil to groups of elvers for 12 wk and analyzing proportions of fatty acids in tissue lipids.
