The Effects of Low-Level Helium-Neon (He-Ne) Laser Irradiation on Lipids and Fatty Acids, and the Activity of Energetic Metabolism Enzymes and Proteome in the Blastula Stage and Underyearlings of the Atlantic Salmon : A Novel Approach in Salmonid Restoration Procedures in the North.

The effect of He-Ne laser irradiation on fishery parameters as well as on biochemical state, including the lipids and fatty acids, the activity of energy metabolism enzymes and the proteome in the blastula stage and in underyearlings of wild Atlantic salmon after irradiation at the cleavage stage/early blastula (considered as the stages when the cell has a high potential for differentiation) was studied. Low mortality rates of eggs were determined during embryogenesis, as well as increased weight gain and lower morality rates of underyearlings in the experimental group. This is confirmed by changes in a number of interrelated indicators of lipid metabolism: a decrease in total lipids content, including diacylglycerols, triacylglycerols, cholesterol esters, and the phospholipids content remained unchanged.

The Effect of Continuous Light on Growth and Muscle-Specific Gene Expression in Atlantic Salmon ( L.) Yearlings.

Photoperiod is associated to phenotypic plasticity of somatic growth in several teleost species, however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are currently unknown. The effect of a continuous lighting (LD 24:0), compared with the usual hatchery lighting (HL) regime, on the growth rate and gene expression of myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs: paralogs, , and ) myosin heavy chain (), and paralogs in the white muscles of hatchery-reared Atlantic salmon yearlings was evaluated over a 6-month period (May to October). The levels of gene expression were determined using real-time PCR.

Dataset on body weight and length of rainbow trout, , fed with dihydroquercetin, arabinogalactan or a mixture of both in an aquaria experiment.

The use of natural dietary supplements in aquaculture has received a great deal of attention in recent years. This article provides data describing body weight and length of rainbow trout juveniles fed with natural dietary supplements dihydroquercetin, arabinogalactan or a mixture of both in an aquaria experiment. Before feeding trial, rainbow trout were tagged to identify individuals.

The Effect of the Photoperiod on the Fatty Acid Profile and Weight in Hatchery-Reared Underyearlings and Yearlings of Atlantic Salmon L.

The influence of two light regimes, 16:8 h light/dark (LD 16:8) and 24:0 h light/dark (LD 24:0), in comparison to a usual hatchery light regime (HL), on the fatty acids content and weight gain in hatchery-reared underyearlings (at 0+ age) and yearlings (at 1+ age) of Atlantic salmon in the summer-autumn period was studied. The total lipids were analyzed by Folch method, the lipid classes using HPTLC, and the fatty acids of total lipids using GC. The increase in EPA and DHA observed in October in underyearlings and yearlings salmon (especially under LD 24:0) suggests they were physiologically preparing for overwintering.

Activity of Metabolic Enzymes in Farmed Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss Walb. Affected by Bacterial Septicemia: The Effect of Food Additives.

The effect of food additive including antioxidant dihydroquercetin and polysaccharide arabinogalactan on the activity of metabolic enzymes in muscles and liver of artificially grown rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss affected by bacterial infection was investigated. The results of the study indicated an increase in the resistance of trout to the action of bacterial infection with the enrichment of the diet with the studied bioactive components, apparently mediated, among other factors, by the activation of metabolic pathways of synthesis of energy and reducing equivalents.
