Abstract
- Five isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets containing dietary lipid concentrations from 71.90 to 142.70 g/kg were formulated and fed to Chinese rice field eel Monopterus albus fingerlings (5.00 ± 0.50 g). The highest values of weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), together with the lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) were found in fish fed with 89.10 g/kg lipid diet. Fish fed with 71.90 g/kg diet (F1) had higher hepatosomatic index, viscerosomatic index and whole‐body crude lipid than fish in the other four treatments (p <.05). Plasma concentration of triacylglycerol and the activity of alanine aminotransferase were also higher in fish fed with F1 diet. Whole‐body fatty acid profile varied exclusively, but with a stable value of n−3/n−6 ratio. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry‐based metabolomics identified eighteen differential metabolites (including idose, alanine, glutamic acid, serine and hypotaurine) in liver affected by dietary lipid content using PLS‐DA analysis. The subsequent pathway enrichment revealed ten affected pathways, with the top three pathways being glycine, serine and threonine metabolism; starch and sucrose metabolism; and D‐glutamine and D‐glutamate metabolism. The broken‐line model of SGR suggested that a dietary lipid concentration of 83.50 g/kg was appropriate for M. albus fingerlings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
