Abstract:
This feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary inclusion of some additives on growth performance, hematological parameter and fatty acid composition of growing flounder. Triplicate groups of fish (average weight 120 g) were fed one of five diets containing 5% kelp meal (Ke), 10% krill meal (Kr), 1% garlic powder (Ga), 1% citrus meal (Ci) or control diet (Con) without supplementation for 15 weeks. After the feeding experiment, survival was not significantly different among the groups fed the different diets. Weight gain of fish fed the Ci diet was significantly higher than that of fish fed the Kr diet, but not significantly different from Con, Ke and Ga treatments. Feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio of fish fed the Ga diet were significantly higher than those of fish fed the other diets. Total protein, glucose, GOT, GPT and total cholesterol contents in the plasma were not affected by the dietary additives. Composition of C20:4n-6 in the dorsal muscle of fish fed the Con diet was significantly higher than that of fish fed the other diets. The results of this study suggest that the dietary inclusion of garlic meal at 1% may improve feed utilization of growing flounder.Keywords:

A 20-week feeding trial was performed to evaluate the optimum level of animal and plant protein sources as substitutes of fishmeal (FM) in the diets of sub-adult olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) under farmed conditions. Groups of ninety fish averaging 478 ± 4.7 g (mean ± SD) were randomly distributed into four treatments in triplicates. An FM-based diet was used as control (CON) and three other diets replaced 20% (APP20), 30% (APP30) and 40% (APP40) of FM with animal (tankage meal and poultry by-product meal) and plant (soy protein concentrate) protein sources. Weight gain, specific growth rate and protein efficiency ratio were not significantly different among fish fed all the experimental diets (p > 0.05). The feed efficiency of fish fed the APP40 diet was significantly lower than those of fish fed the other experimental diets (p < 0.05). Non-specific immune responses such as superoxide dismutase activity and lysozyme activity of fish fed all the experimental diets were not significantly different (p > 0.05). Intestinal villi length of fish fed the CON diet was significantly higher than those of fish fed the other diets (p < 0.05). Based on the results of growth performances and the non-specific immune responses, the dietary combination of animal and plant protein sources could replace up to 40% of FM in sub-adult olive flounder.

Two bacteria strains were isolated from emaciated olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in aquafarm and were identificated as Vibrio harveyi (JV1) and Edwardsiella tarda (JE1), respectively. In the challenge experiments, we found 100% cumulative mortalities in all of olive flounder injected with JV1, JE1 or JV1+JE1 within eleven days after the injection. Two bacteria strains were reisolated from dead fish and were analyzed using the PCR method. In the physilogical analysis, the hematocrit, AST, ALT and cholesterol levels in experimental groups were increased significantly compared to those in control group, but the glucose, total protein and triglyceride levels were significantly decreased. Additionally, the lysozyme activity in the blood serum was decreased. The histopathological observations of the intestine showed that all groups had detachment and destruction of epithelial tissues except for the control group.

In a 12-week experiment, the rock bream, Oplegnathus fasciatus, and olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, were investigated to determine the effects of starvation on their physiological parameters. The protein and DNA contents of the starved fish were significantly higher than the initial values and those of the fed fish. The RNA contents and RNA/DNA ratios of the fed fish were significantly higher than those of the other groups (P<0.05). The hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cells (RBC), and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of the fed rock bream were significantly higher than at baseline (P<0.05), whereas the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) of the fed fish was lower than at baseline (P<0.05). The hematocrit, hemoglobin, RBC, and MCHC of the starved group were significantly lower than the baseline values, whereas the MCV of the starved group was significantly higher than the baseline value (P<0.05). No significant difference in alanine aminotransferase was observed between the fed fish and baseline, whereas the starved fish value was significantly higher than the baseline value (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in cortisol levels. However, the glucose level in the fed group was significantly higher than the baseline level and that in the starved group was significantly lower than the baseline level (P<0.05).

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of fishmeal replacement with acid-concentrated soybean meal (ACSBM) on growth performance, blood biochemistry, and ingredient digestibility in juvenile olive flounder Para-lichthys olivaceus. Six experimental diets were formulated to replace fishmeal protein with ACSBM at 0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% (designated ACSBM0, ACSBM20, ACSBM30, ACSBM40, ACSBM50, and ACSBM60, respectively). Triplicate groups of fish (initial fish mean weight: 14.3±0.03 g) were fed the experimental diets to apparent satiation (twice daily at 08:00 and 18:00 h). After a 12-week feeding trial, a total of 180 healthy fish were randomly distributed into three Guelph system tanks at a density of 60 fish/tank (initial fish mean weight : 50.6±2.4 g) to test the apparent digestibility coefficients of the ingredients (ACSBM, fishmeal, and soybean meal). Although negative effects were observed with ACSBM40, ACSBM50 and ACSBM60 after 12 weeks of feeding, up to 20% of the fishmeal protein could be successfully replaced with ACSBM without significant growth depression. Hemoglobin and hematocrit values of fish fed the ACSBM50 and ACSBM60 diets were significantly lower than those of fish fed the ACSBM0 diet. Glucose values of fish fed the ACSBM60 diet were significantly higher than those of fish fed the ACSBM0 and ACSBM20 diets. Digestibility of protein in ACSBM and soybean meal was 85.9% and 82.5%, respec -tively. Results indicated that at least 20% of fishmeal protein can be replaced by ACSBM in diets of juvenile olive flounder without supplementation of limiting amino acids.

Experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of lead exposure on survival, growth and oxygen consumption of juvenile oliver flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. Survival rate of the oliver flounder was significantly affected above 150㎍/L. Growth of the olive flounder exposed to ≥ 150 ㎍/L of lead concentration was significantly lower than that of fish reared in normal condition. Metabolic rate of fish exposed to lead ≥ 80 ㎍/L concentration was significantly reduced with increasing lead concentration than that in normal condition. This study revealed that high lead concentration (≥ 80 ㎍/L) reduced growth and metabolic rates of juvenile olive flounder suggesting potential influence of lead on the natural mortality of olive flounder in the coastal areas.

Olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is a commercially important and valuable species for aquaculture in Korea. Due to the unstable supply of fishmeal for farmed fish, an optimum fish-feed formulation should be researched to ensure the sustainability of P. olivaceus aquaculture. This study investigated the effect of three experimental diets: Con (basal diet); FM20 (20% fishmeal replacement of CON); and FM30 (30% fishmeal replacement of CON) on P. olivaceus over 20 weeks at a typical farm by monitoring the growth and factors relating to sexual maturation. The results showed that no differences in growth were observed between the CON and diet-replacement groups. Gonadal oocyte development was similar between the CON and diet-replacement groups. Moreover, sbGnRH and GH expression did not differ between the CON and diet-replacement groups. The levels of Erβ and Vtg expression were significantly higher in the FM20 group than in the CON and FM30 groups after the experimental period. The expression of PSS-I was significantly higher in the FM30 group than in the CON and FM20 groups. Therefore, although growth occurred when 30% of the fishmeal was replaced, such high dietary protein replacement may be ill-advised during the maturation of olive flounder at the commercial fish farm.

This study is to find out the effects of various iron concentrations on growth, feeding and feed efficiency of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, The growth rate, feeding rate and feed efficiency of olive flounder in each experiments were represented by the relative value. The relative growth rate and relative feed efficiency of olive flounder were kept almost constant below the iron concentration of 1.0 mg/, but were significantly decreased above the 5,0 mg/ iron concentration. The growth rate, feeding rate and feed efficiency of olive flounder exposed to 10.0mg/ iron concentration were significantly decreased than that exposed to normal condition. From these results, it could be concluded that the high level of 5.0 mg/ iron concentration in the bottom water would curtail production of olive flounder in coastal area.

Streptococcal diseases are known as serious problems in fresh water and marine fish culture industry worldwide. Recently, the importance of the infection of Streptococcus parauberis has been increased among the streptococcicosis since severe outbreaks in cultured olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) were recorded in Korea. The aims of the present study were to investigate immunomodulatory differences between S. parauberis and S. iniae. In this study, S. parauberis isolated from diseased olive flounder was investigated on the characteristics of morphological and immune responses. Immune response of the fish to the pathogen was characterized by bactericidal activity in the serum, phagocytic activity and reactive oxy- gen intermediaters (ROIs) production of olive flounder. The capsules of both bacteria, S. parauberis and S. iniae seem to be associated with the ability to resist killing activity of normal sera. Also, capsulated strains could survive in the phagocytes and induce to lower ROIs production.
