- Using functional feed ingredients to increase the intestinal health of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) could allow greater variation and higher inclusion of plant-based proteins in the feed. This is beneficial both for the fish feed industry and fish welfare. Components with strong bioactive properties, such as fucoidans from marine macroalgae, have a great potential as a functional feed ingredient. In the present trial, we challenged Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) post-smolts with 17.8% soya HP48, a diet that has been shown to cause low-level intestinal inflammation. Fucoidan from Undaria pinnatifida was included at 0, 1, or 3% (Control, FUC1, and FUC3, respectively) to study its ability to alleviate this low-level inflammation . The fish were fed the diets in triplicate tanks for 59 days. At the end of the experiment, the fish were euthanised and the mid-and hind intestine were sampled for morphological-, integrity-(Ussing chamber) and gene expressional-(RNAseq) assessments. Addition of 3% fucoidan lowered the protein digestibility of the feed, however, this did not result in significant differences in the growth parameters. The paracellular permeability of the hydrophilic marker 14C-mannitol tended to decrease with the addition of fucoidan in both tissue segments. The active transport of L-lysine in the mid intestine was significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner of fucoidan. An anti-inflammatory effect of fucoidan was observed in the hind intestine with significant reductions in the stratum granulosum width and lamina propria height of fish fed FUC1 and FUC3 compared to the Control. This suggests that U. pinnatifida fucoidan can have positive effect on both intestinal integrity and immune regulation of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).

- The structure of fucoidan isolated from Laminaria hyperborea was elucidatedand chemically tailored in order to obtain a clear structure−function relationship on bioactiveproperties with a minimal amount of variations among the tested molecules. Analysis revealeda sugar composition of 97.8% fucose and 2.2% galactose. Analysis of the glycosidic linkagesshowed (1→3)-α-L-fuco-pyranose (31.9%) to be the dominant residue, followed by 1→2-linked (13.2%) and 1→4-linked (7.7%) fuco-pyranose as well as a high degree of branching(22.4%). Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) revealed a sulfate contentof 53.8% (degree of sulfation (DS) = 1.7). Raman spectroscopy determined SO4 located axialat 4C and equatorial at 2C as well as an absence of acetylation. SEC-MALS analysisdetermined a high molecular weight (Mw = 469 kDa), suggesting a highly flexible main chainwith short side chains. Both chemical shifts of the fucoidan, proton, and carbon were assignedby NMR and revealed a highly heterogeneous structure in terms of glycosidic linkages.Bioactivity was assessed using a lepirudin-based whole blood model. The immediate responsesby coagulation and complement cascades were measured by prothrombine factor 1 and 2(PTF1.2) and the terminal complement complex (TCC). Cytokines involved in inflammation were detected in a 27-plexcytokine assay. Fucoidan with a high Mw and DS inhibited coagulation, complement, and the cytokines PDGF-BB, RANTES,and IP-10, while activating MCP-1. These effects were obtained at the concentration of 1000 ug/mL and partly at 100 ug/mL.In low concentrations (10 ug/mL), a coagulation stimulating effect of highly sulfated fucoidans (DS = 1.7, Mw = 469 kDa or20.3) was obtained. These data point to a multitude of effects linked to the sulfation degree that needs further mechanisticexploration.
