- Seafood has an important role to play to achieve a sustainable food system that provides healthy food to a growing world population. Future seafood production will be increasingly reliant on aquaculture where feed innovation is essential to reduce environmental impacts and minimize feed and food competition. This study aimed to investigate whether a novel single cell protein feed ingredient based on Paecilomyces variotii grown on a side stream from the forest industry could improve environmental sustainability of farmed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) by replacing the soy protein concentrate used today. A Life Cycle Assessment including commonly addressed impacts but also the rarely assessed biodiversity impacts was performed. Furthermore, feeding trials were included for potential effects on fish growth, i.e., an assessment of the environmental impacts for the functional unit ‘kg feed required to produce 1 kg live-weight rainbow trout’. Results showed that the best experimental diet containing P. variotii performed 16–73 % better than the control diet containing soy protein concentrate in all impact categories except for energy demand (21 % higher impact). The largest environmental benefits from replacing soy protein with P. variotii in rainbow trout diets was a 73 % reduction of impact on biodiversity and halved greenhouse gas emissions. The findings have high relevance for the aquaculture industry as the production scale and feed composition was comparable to commercial operations and because the effect on fish growth from inclusion of the novel ingredient in a complete diet was evaluated. The results on biodiversity loss from land use change and exploitation through fishing suggest that fishery can dominate impacts and exclusion thereof can greatly underestimate biodiversity impact. Finally, a novel feed ingredient grown on side streams from the forest industry has potential to add to food security through decreasing the dependence on increasingly scarce agricultural land resources.

- Black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens; BSFL) can convert organic wastes into a nutrient-rich biomass suitable in animal feed, which could be a way to achieve more sustainable production of food. However, little is known about how the diet fed to BSFL affects their nutritional value, especially their fatty acid composition. In this study, BSFL were fed 11 diets based on four different organic waste sources (mussels, bread, fish and food waste). Fatty acid and proximate composition (dry matter, crude fat, crude protein and ash) were analysed in the diets, in two-week-old larvae and substrate residues. Larval weight, survival and feed conversion were also recorded. The diet was found to affect all parameters investigated. Irrespective of diet, the larval fat consisted mainly of lauric acid and other saturated fatty acids and these were found to be synthesised by the larvae. However, both the fatty acid composition of the substrate, and the larval weight were found to affect the fatty acid profile of the larvae. In general, larvae with a higher weight contained a higher percentage of saturated fatty acids and a lower percentage of unsaturated fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). It was concluded that the possibilities to tailor the fatty acid composition of the BSFL through the diet are limited; thus, the BSFL fat may not be suitable to replace fish oil, but has potential of inclusion in other food, feed and fuel products.

- One approach to ongrow juvenile European lobster, Homarus gammarus, is to utilize land based rearing systems, incorporating automated feeding, individual culture and provision of stable pelleted feeds, preferably using sustainable ingredients. We initiated three feeding experiments to investigate the general suitability of ingredients produced from seafood by-products as novel feeds for H. gammarus, in terms of promoting survival, development and growth of post-larval lobsters from post-larvae (PL) stage IV to the first juvenile stage (stage V). The first experiment was designed to screen an array of candidate, locally produced, novel protein sources on growth performance parameters. This initial experiment revealed that PL reared on a raw (i.e. wet, unprocessed shrimp) feed used as a reference showed superior performance to those reared on experimental feeds containing fishmeal, herring protein isolate or mussel meal; however, a novel type of shrimp meal, produced by flocculation from waste water, promoted the best PL performance of any experimental feed. A second experiment was designed to test the effect of drying method and to optimize the form of a wet shrimp reference feed used by lobster hatcheries. This showed that the performance of PL reared on experimental freeze-dried shrimp feed was not significantly different to those reared on the wet, unprocessed shrimp used as a reference feed. However, lobsters offered experimental oven-dried shrimp feed (with or without an immune supplement) resulted in significantly lower survival or growth performance. A third and final experiment was designed in an attempt to improve a candidate herring-based protein source, by supplementing with nutrients found in shrimp. However, the results showed that PL reared on the wet reference shrimp feed still showed superior growth and survival than those reared on a herring feed alone, or supplemented with additives found in shrimp meal (either glucosamine, astaxanthin or both supplements combined). The high survival and growth, low incidence of moulting problems and high availability of waste shrimp material, suggest that non-heat-treated shrimp products are a promising feed ingredient for post-larval European lobsters.

- The objective of the present study was to investigate the optimal dietary protein requirement and the effect of varying protein levels on the growth and health of juvenile, wild-caught Atlantic wolffish, Anarhichas lupus, a promising candidate for cold-water aquaculture diversification. Six iso-energetic (ca. 18.3 MJ kg−1), fish meal-based experimental diets were formulated with crude protein levels ranging from 35% to 60%, with graded increments of 5% in a 12-week feeding trial in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). Weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), and condition factor (K) were evaluated in response to dietary protein levels. Liver, muscle, and blood parameters were assessed for possible changes in protein and lipid metabolism and welfare. Overall growth was highly variable throughout the experiment on all diets, as expected for a wild population. The feed with highest in protein (60%) inclusion resulted in the highest growth rates, with an average weight gain of 37.4% ± 33.8% and an SGR of 0.31% ± 0.2% day−1. This was closely followed by feeds with 55% and 50% protein inclusion with an average weight gain of 22.9% ± 34.8% and 28.5% ± 38.3%, respectively, and an SGR of 0.18% ± 0.3% day−1 and 0.22% ± 0.3% day−1, respectively. Fish fed the high protein diets generally had increased hepatic lipid deposition (17%–18%) and reduced free fatty acid levels (3.1–6.8 μmol L−1) in the plasma relative to fish that were fed the lower protein diets (35%–45%). No effects of diet were found on plasma protein levels or muscle protein content. Furthermore, stress parameters such as plasma cortisol and glucose levels were unaffected by diet, as were plasma ghrelin levels. Overall, these results suggest that a high protein inclusion in the diet for Atlantic wolffish is required to sustain growth with a minimum protein level of 50%.s.

- Yeast is a potential alternative to fish meal in diets for farmed fish, yet replacing more than 50 % of fish meal results in reduced fish growth. In a 4-week experiment, 15 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were cannulated and fed three diets each week: 30 % fish meal as a control (FM); 60 % replacement of fish meal protein, on a digestible basis, with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC); and 60 % replacement with Wickerhamomyces anomalus and S. cerevisiae mix (WA). Blood was collected at 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h after feeding. In the final week, fish were exposed to a 1-min netting stressor to evaluate possible diet-stress interactions. Significant increases in pH, TCO2, HCO3 and base excess were found after fish were fed the SC and WA diets compared with FM, which elevated blood alkaline tides. Yeast ingredients had lower buffering capacity and ash content than fish meal, which explained the increase in alkaline tides. In addition, fish fed the WA diet had significantly reduced erythrocyte area and fish fed SC and WA diets had increased mean corpuscular haemoglobin levels, indicating haemolytic anaemia. Higher levels of nucleic acid in yeast-based diets and potentially higher production of reactive oxygen species were suspected of damaging haemoglobin, which require replacement by smaller immature erythrocytes. Acute stress caused the expected rise in cortisol and glucose levels, but no interaction with diet was found. These results show that replacing 60 % of fish meal protein with yeasts can induce haemolytic anaemia in rainbow trout, which may limit yeast inclusion in diets for farmed fish.

- In a 4-week experiment, 15 cannulated rainbow trout were fed three diets based on fish meal (FM), Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (SC) and Wickerhamomyces anomalus and S.cerevisiae yeast mix (WA). Fish were fed daily, and blood samples were collected on day 7 of each week at 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24hr after feeding. In the final week, fish were exposed to a 1-min netting stressor. All essential and non-essential plasma amino acid levels except methionine were similar between fish fed diets FM, SC and WA. Plasma methionine and sarcosine were significantly higher in fish fed diets SC and WA, possibly due to the crystalline methionine level, form or feeding regime. Hydroxy-proline and 3-methyl-histidine were higher in fish fed diet FM, which can be explained by the higher levels present in fish meal compared with yeast. In stressed fish, there were no dietary effects on plasma amino acid levels, but significant increases in taurine and cystathionine were found in stressed compared with unstressed fish. These results demonstrate that yeast-based diets produce similar plasma amino acid profiles to fish meal and suggest that yeast may be a suitable fish meal replacement in diets for rainbow trout.

- Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) meal is a potential alternative to fishmeal and plant proteins in diets for farmed fish since it can be produced on organic waste substrates, requires little energy and water inputs and contains high levels of essential amino acids. Recent studies have partially replaced fishmeal with black soldier fly meal, however, research on their impact on gut microbiota of fish is limited. In a five week experiment, juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed either a reference diet based on fishmeal or three diets with 30% inclusion of black soldier fly meals in the form of pre-pupae, larvae or defatted-larvae. The combined luminal content and mucosa were collected from the distal intestine of three fish per tank with four tanks per diet (n = 12) and 16S rRNA gene amplicons were sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Feeding the insect-based diets increased the alpha-diversity of bacteria and abundance of lactic acid bacteria, which may be due to the addition of dietary chitin. Compared with fishmeal, feeding insects resulted in higher abundance of phyla Firmicutes and Actinobacteria with lower abundance of Proteobacteria. Fish fed the full-fat meals had higher abundance of Corynebacterium that was attributed to its ability to produce lipase and the high content of dietary lipids as a substrate. Bacillaceae was increased in fish fed both larvae diets and unchanged in the pre-pupae diet, which indicated that life-cycle stage of the insect influenced the gut microbiota. Based on these results, we found that feeding black soldier flies increased diversity and altered the composition of gut bacteria of rainbow trout, which were further influenced by life-cycle stage and lipid content of the insect meal.

Post-prandial changes of unstressed and stressed dorsal aorta cannulated rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed yeasts

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Introduction Feeding experiments can demonstrate long-term effects of test diets on fish growth and feed digestibility, however, they cannot determine short-term effects on nutrient uptake and stress response. Blood sampling during feeding experiments requires sedation and handling that can stress and affect blood parameters of fish (Djordjevic et al., 2011). Dorsal aorta (DA) cannulation of fish allows for serial blood sampling without inflicting stress. Single cell proteins, such as yeasts, are an ideal feed alternative to plant and fish meals as they do not compete as food for humans. In addition, yeasts, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, contain beta-glucans in their cell walls that can induce an immunostimulant effect on fish that increases disease resistance (Siwicki et al., 1994). The objective of this study was to determine the post-prandial changes of unstressed and stressed DA cannulated rainbow trout fed two different yeast diets. Materials and methods Rainbow trout were DA cannulated according to Kiessling et al (1995) with modifications. Briefly, fish were sedated with 1mg L-1 metomidate, anesthetised with 80mg L-1 tricaine methane sulfonate (MS222) and then placed in a recirculating surgery bath of 60mg L-1 MS222. Lidocain was used as a local anaesthetic at the incision sites where 180 polyethylene (PE) tubing was inserted in the snout of the fish and 90 PE tubing was inserted into the DA via guide wire. The 1m long cannula was injected with heparinised saline and sealed and the fish was given 3-5 days to recover while being fed a commercial diet. In total, 15 cannulated fish that weighed 849 ± 199g (±SD) were fed three iso-nitrogenous diets: fish meal control (FM), 60% replacement of fish meal with S. cerevisiae (YS) and 60% replacement with a 70:30 mix of W. anomalus and S. cerevisiae (YW). Fish were fed at 1% body weight (BW) via automated feeders with collectors in 200L tanks equipped with individual water flow (15C), shadow and light. For the diet test, 5 random fish were fed each diet for 1 week and then fed a different diet for weeks 2 and 3 (cross over design). For the stress test, fish were fed for a 4th week and then stressed via netting for 1min after feeding. Blood samples of 0.35mL were taken at 0 (before feeding), 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours on day 7 of every week. Blood was analysed for sodium, potassium, glucose, pH, PCO2, TCO2, HCO3, base excess and hemoglobin using an i-STAT analyser and haematocrit and leucocrit were measured after centrifugation. Red blood cells (RBC) were diluted and counted in a Burker chamber. Results Fish consumed diets at a rate of 0.83 ± 0.22% BW over 4 weeks. Samples from fish that consumed less than 0.20% BW were excluded from analyses. There were no mortalities, but 5 fish were replaced due to non-functioning cannulas. For the diet test, YS and YW diets were both significantly different (P<0.05) than FM diet for sodium, potassium, pH, TCO2, HCO3 and base excess. Hemaglobin of diet YW was different from diet FM. For the stress test, no significant differences existed between diets. In comparison, only glucose (YS and YW diets) and potassium (YW diet) were significantly different between diet and stress tests, although hematocrit and hemaglobin significantly increased and pH and blood gases significantly decreased after stress (i.e. 0 to 3 hr). Discussion and conclusion This study is one of the first to analyse blood samples from DA cannulated rainbow trout that voluntarily consumed feed after surgery. In the diet test, differences in blood potassium and sodium between diets are likely due to feed composition as yeast diets contained higher levels of potassium and lower levels of sodium compared to the FM diet. Increased levels of pH and blood gases in the yeast diets may be due to an immunostimulant effect from yeast beta-glucans (Siwicki et al., 1994), but more research is needed. In the stress test, increased levels of haematocrit, haemoglobin and glucose as well as reduced pH and blood gases have been previously reported as a result of increased catecholamine release and ventilation to cope with stress (Djordjevic et al., 2011). In conclusion, replacing fish meal with yeasts can significantly impact blood parameters of rainbow trout, however, yeasts diets had no significant effect on acute stress response.
