摘要
[ Objective] This experiment was conducted to analyze and compare the nutritional components in the muscle of juvenile Siganus guttatus fed with Enteromorpha prolifera and artificial feed. [ Method] A total of 180 healthy S. guttatus juveniles with similar body size were assigned into two groups: one fed with E. prolifera, and the other fed with artificial feed, respectively. There were three replicates in each group, and 30 fish in each replicate. And the experiment lasted for 90 d. [ Result] The results showed that the weight gain rate, specific growth rate and relative growth rate of E. prolifera-fed group were significantly lower than those of artificial feed-fed group (P 〈0.05) ; the contents of crude protein and crude ash of E. prolifera-fed group were significantly higher than those of artificial feed-fed group (P 〈 0.05 ). However, the content of crude fat of E. prolifera-fed group was significantly lower than that of artificial feed-fed group (P 〈 0.05 ). The moisture content had no significant difference between the two groups (P 〉 0.05 ). The amino acid composition was similar between the two groups. Seventeen amino acids were found in both groups, and the essential amino acid index (EAAI) was 76.71 in E. prolifera-fed group and 70.05 in artificial feed-fed group, both of which met the criteria set by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)/World Health Organization (WHO). The content of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) + docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and the content of to-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids ( to-3 PUFAs) of E. prolifera-fed group were significantly higher than those of artificial feed-fed group ( P 〈 0.05 ). [ Conclusion ] In conclusion, the juvenile S. guttatus in both groups contains a variety of nutritional components. S. guttatus fed with E. prolifera has higher levels of essential amino acids, more balanced composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids, higher nutritive val- ue and better taste than that fed with
