Effect of the seaweed Macrocystis pyrifera and a formulated diet on growth and fatty acid composition in the green abalone, Haliotis fulgens, under commercial culture conditions

The effect of a formulated diet (FD), a seaweed diet (SW), and a mixture of both (FD + SW) on growth, survival rate, and fatty acid content in the tissue of juvenile Haliotis fulgens abalone grown under commercial culture conditions, was analyzed over a 329-day period. Survival and growth rate in t...

description The effect of a formulated diet (FD), a seaweed diet (SW), and a mixture of both (FD + SW) on growth, survival rate, and fatty acid content in the tissue of juvenile Haliotis fulgens abalone grown under commercial culture conditions, was analyzed over a 329-day period. Survival and growth rate in terms of length and weight were different with each of the diets evaluated, being significantly higher (P < 0.05) with the mixed diet (FD + SW), followed by SW and FD. Since feed intake was not evaluated in this preliminary study, differences in growth cannot be attributed to the dietary treatments; however, the importance of this work was to show the significant impact of the diet treatments on the tissue fatty acid profiles, suggesting that the treatments contribute to the composition of some fatty acids found in muscle. The polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) 22:4n-6 was not detected in any of the diets, while 20:4n-3 was only present in SW and 22:5n-3 only in FD. However, after the feeding experiment all these PUFAs were present in abalone tissue. The possible synthesis of PUFAs from dietary n-3 and n-6 fatty acids of shorter hydrocarbon chain is discussed.
