The effect of the addition of marine algae in fish feed on the levels of bromophenols in fish flesh was studied. These bromophenols include 2-bromophenol, 4-bromophenol, 2,4-dibromophenol, 2,6-dibromophenol, and 2,4,6-tribromophenol. Two types of algae-containing fish feeds with 30% Padina arborescens and 30% Sargassum siliquastrum were developed. The total bromophenol contents of these feeds were 132 and 340 ng/g respectively, which were significantly higher than that of the control feed (8.9 ng/g) (ANOVA, p < 0.05). Silver seabream was used as the model fish for the feeding experiment. Bromophenol contents of both fish gut and flesh were monitored at 2-week intervals throughout the 8-week period. Two-way ANOVA showed that only the 30% S. siliquastrum-containing feed significantly (p < 0.05) increased the total bromophenol content in the fish flesh with time. This also produced sensorial differences in the fish flesh.

Research Centre of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on Environmental Ecology and Fish Nutrition, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai201306, People's Republic of China.

In this study, nine isonitrogenous experimental diets containing graded levels of carbohydrates (40 g/kg, 80 g/kg and 120 g/kg) and crude lipids (80 g/kg, 120 g/kg and 160 g/kg) were formulated in a two-factor (3 × 3) orthogonal design. A total of 945 mandarin fish with similar body weights were randomly assigned to twenty-seven tanks, and the experiment diets were fed to triplicate tanks twice daily for 10 weeks. Results showed that different dietary treatments did not significantly affect the survival rate and growth performance of mandarin fish.
