Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Coastal environments, in particular heavily populated semi-enclosed marginal seas and coasts like the Baltic Sea region, are strongly affected by human activities. A multitude of human impacts, including climate change, affect the different compartments of the environment, and these effects interact with each other. As part of the Baltic Earth Assessment Reports (BEAR), we present an inventory and discussion of different human-induced factors and processes affecting the environment of the Baltic Sea region, and their interrelations. Some are naturally occurring and modified by human activities (i.e. climate change, coastal processes, hypoxia, acidification, submarine groundwater discharges, marine ecosystems, non-indigenous species, land use and land cover), some are completely human-induced (i.e. agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries, river regulations, offshore wind farms, shipping, chemical contamination, dumped warfare agents, marine litter and microplastics, tourism, and coastal management), and they are all interrelated to different degrees. We present a general description and analysis of the state of knowledge on these interrelations. Our main insight is that climate change has an overarching, integrating impact on all of the other factors and can be interpreted as a background effect, which has different implications for the other factors. Impacts on the environment and the human sphere can be roughly allocated to anthropogenic drivers such as food production, energy production, transport, industry and economy. The findings from this inventory of available information and analysis of the different factors and their interactions in the Baltic Sea region can largely be transferred to other comparable marginal and coastal seas in the world.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Studies that address fi sh welfare before slaughter have concluded that many of the traditional systems used to stun fi sh including CO 2 narcosis are unacceptable as they cause avoidable stress before death. One system recommended as a better alternative is electrical stunning, however, the welfare aspects of this method are not yet fully understood. To assess welfare in aquaculture both behavioural and physiological measurements have been used, but few studies have examined the relationship between these variables. In an on-site study aversive behaviours and several physiological stress indicators, including plasma levels of cortisol and ions as well as blood physiological variables, were compared in Arctic char ( Salvelinus alpinus ) stunned with CO 2 or electricity. Exposure to water saturated with CO 2 triggered aversive struggling and escape responses for several minutes before immobilization, whereas in fi sh exposed to an electric current immobilization was close to instant. On average, it took 5 min for the fi sh to recover from electrical stunning, whereas fi sh stunned with CO 2 did not recover. Despite this, the electrically stunned fi sh had more than double the plasma levels of cortisol compared with fi sh stunned with CO 2 . This result is surprising considering that the behavioural reactions were much more pronounced following CO 2 exposure. These contradictory results are discussed with regard to animal welfare and stress physiological responses. The present results emphasise the importance of using an integrative and interdisciplinary approach and to include both behavioural and physiological stress indicators in order to make accurate welfare assessments of fish in aquaculture.

- Chitinolytic activity, nutrient uptake and intestinal barrier functions were investigated in gut tissues of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) fed iso-nitrogenous diets based on fish meal, with or without inclusion of zygomycetes (Rhizopus oryzae). We found that gut tissue of Arctic charr had significant chitinase activity, of both endo- and exo-chitinase iso-forms. Moreover, the distribution pattern along the GI tract of Arctic charr differed between endo-chitinase and exo-chitinase. The endo-chitinase activity in stomach tissue and in the distal intestine was several hundred-fold higher than the exo-chitinase activity in stomach tissue. The greatest exo-chitinase activity was found in the distal intestine. The zygomycete-based diet resulted in higher chitinolytic activity in gut tissue compared to the fish meal-based diet. Disturbed intestinal integrity and increased uptake rate of the amino acid lysine were observed in the distal, but not proximal, intestine of fish fed the zygomycete-based feed.

- The metabolite profiles from muscles and livers of Atlantic salmon were investigated using high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (HR-NMR) spectroscopy of aqueous extracts and magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy of intact tissues. Comparison of the data showed that most small metabolites present in the aqueous extracts were also identified in the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) MAS NMR spectra of the intact tissues. Not only the total omega-3 fatty acid content, but also the EPA and DHA content, in the muscle and liver tissues could be calculated directly from the diffusion-edited MAS NMR spectra without the need for lipophilic extraction. The effect of replacing a normal fish meal during a period of 3 months with a diet containing 20% zygomycete was also investigated by multivariate analysis of the NMR spectra. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to study the small metabolites distribution in the aqueous extracts of liver and muscles, and revealed that the feed containing zygomycete could have an influence on the metabolites profiles of juvenile Atlantic salmon.

Immunological Studies in Malignant Melanoma : Importance of TNF and the Thioredoxin System
- 2001
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Malignant melanoma is a tumor whose incidence is dramatically increasing in persons with light-coloured skin in all parts of the world. Due to its resistance against traditional chemo- and radiotherapy, melanoma has been a favourite target of alternative therapies, in particular those involving immunological mechanisms. Cytokines and particularly tumor necrosis factor (TNF) have been studied as possible antitumoral agents, but also as endogenous growth or differentiation factors. Previous studies showed that melanomas could express TNF in situ and that this expression correlated to decreased lymphocyte infiltration. On the other hand, redox reagents can modulate expression of cytokines, and the thioredoxin (Trx) system is particularly known to influence expression and secretion of TNF in vitro.The overall aim of this research was to explore immunological aspects of melanoma, particularly the role of TNF both in vitro and in vivo, as well as its possible modulation by Trx.In the in vitro studies first we developed a novel method for obtention of monoclonal antibodies against melanoma antigens, and generated and characterized specific monoclonal antibodies against both full-length and truncated Trx. We studied the cytokine expression of a panel of normal and transformed melanocytic cells by immunofluorescence, all of which presented TNF and Trx at levels comparable to monocytic cells, and TNF-receptors (TNFR) at low but detectable levels. Melanoma cells did not secrete TNF upon stimulation in spite of its presence in the Golgi apparatus. However, melanoma cells expressed the TNF-processing enzyme TACE and were capable of cleaving transfected GFP-tagged TNF. Imaging studies point to a possible cell-cell tranfer of endogenous TNF in melanoma cells.On the other hand, TNF and Trx expression in melanoma cell lines correlated to resistance against exogenous TNF. We studied then the in situ expression of TNF and Trx by immunohistochemistry in a group of 44 cutaneous melanoma patients. Trx expression did not correlated to survival or other clinicalpathological parameters. TNF expression significantly correlated to better survival in tumors thicker than 0,8 mm, and constituted an independent prognostic factor.These results point to a biological role of endogenous TNF in malignant melanoma, either by constituting an autocrine/paracrine differentiation factor or by modulating communication with other cell types, particularly of the host’s immune system.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The accumulation of biofloc in a rearing media that may bring about some adverse effects on the cultured fish, can be addressed by using a settlement tank. This study aimed to compare the production performance and flesh quality of red tilapia Oreochromis sp. in biofloc systems with and without a settlement tank. This study comprised of two treatments, i.e. biofloc system with settlement tank (Bioras) and biofloc system without settlement tank (Biofloc), each maintined in triplicates. Fish was reared in outdoor tarpaulin tanks with a diameter of 3 m and a height of 1.2 m, which were filled with about 5 m3 of water. Tilapia with an initial average weight of 100 g was cultured at an initial density of 5 kg m- 3 for 112 days with a partial harvest conducted on day 42. The fish was fed with a commercial diet containing 30.5% crude protein to apparent satiation twice a day. The results showed that the production performance of red tilapia in Bioras (75 kg) was higher than that of the conventional biofloc system (70 kg). Mild deformities and limited parasite infestation were observed in the gills of the fish housed in the Bioras system. The fish quality was similar between the treatments, except for the hardness (8.4 kgf), gumminess (3.4 kgf), and chewiness (1.8 kgf), which was higher in the fish housed in the conventional biofloc system. The increase in fish growth in Bioras system could not compensate the increase in cost for the investment and operation of the settling tank, which was about 17% higher in the Bioras system. In conclusion, the present study confirmed that the addition of a settlement tank can be beneficial in controlling biofloc biomass and could improve the growth performance, but not yet profitable for red tilapia commercial production.

Remote physiological monitoring provides unique insights on the cardiovascular performance and stress responses of freely swimming rainbow trout in aquaculture

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Investigating the mechanisms that fish employ to maintain homeostasis in their everyday life requires measurements of physiological and behavioural responses in the field. With multivariate bio-loggers, we continuously measured gastrointestinal blood flow (GBF), heart rate, activity and body temperature in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) swimming freely amongst ~5000 conspecifics in a sea cage. Our findings clearly demonstrate that while both acute aquaculture-related stress and spontaneous activity resulted in transient reductions in GBF (i.e. reductions of up to 65%), recovery from stressful handling practices subsequently involved a substantial and prolonged gastrointestinal hyperemia far beyond the level observed prior to the stressor. The gastrointestinal hyperemia may be necessary to repair the damage to the gastrointestinal tract caused by acute stress. Furthermore, heart rate responses to acute stress or voluntary activity differed depending on the individual’s physiological state. Stressed fish (i.e. mean heart rates >70 beats min−1) exhibited a bradycardic response to acute stress or activity, whereas fish with mean heart rates <60 beats min−1 instead demonstrated strong tachycardic responses. Remote monitoring of physiological and behavioural variables using bio-loggers can provide unique insights into ‘real-life’ responses of animals, which can largely differ from the responses observed in confined laboratory settings. © 2019, The Author(s).

The final countdown: Continuous physiological welfare evaluation of farmed fish during common aquaculture practices before and during harvest

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Welfare of farmed fish has become of increasing concern for consumers, producers, interest groups and authorities. To improve fish welfare, it is necessary to find indicators that can identify stressful situations early enough so that an intervention can take place before detrimental effects occur. By using heart rate bio-loggers in freely swimming rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), combined with plasma cortisol levels and a range of haematological and blood chemistry parameters, we assessed the severity of stress responses induced by a range of common aquaculture practices before and during harvest. Following surgery, transportation and reintroduction with conspecifics in the sea cage, it took similar to 4 days for heart rate to stabilize and for a clear circadian rhythm in heart rate to emerge (i.e. average circadian fluctuation in heart rate of similar to 25 to 27 beats min(-1)). The presence or absence of this circadian rhythm in heart rate could inform researchers in the aquaculture industry whether or not specific farming routines induce unnecessary and prolonged stress. The elevations in heart rate caused by common farming practises such as crowding and transportation (e.g. heart rate increased by similar to 8 and 9 beats min-1 above what would normally be expected for that time of day, respectively) corresponded well with increases in plasma cortisol levels. Stressful farming practises or events (indicated by elevated plasma cortisol levels) such as air exposure during brailing and aquatic hypoxia triggered a hypoxic bradycardia until fish were released back into oxygenated water whereupon heart rate significantly increased to repay the accumulated oxygen debt. Repeated stress induced by multiple farming practises (i.e. combined stressors of crowding, brailing and transportation) clearly had a cumulative and long-lasting effect as heart rate peaked at similar to 25 beats min(-1) above what would normally be expected for that time of day. Heart rate also remained significantly elevated by similar to 9 beats min(-1) the following morning, suggesting that if rainbow trout need to be subjected to multiple stressors during consequtive days, it is recommended that sufficient time for recovery is provided between stressors. This study demonstrates that heart rate monitoring can be useful to assess stress levels of freely swimming fish in sea cages. Moreover, the use of implantable bio-loggers opens up a broad range of possible applications that will allow researchers to investigate the effects of environmental and/or anthropogenic stressors on the welfare of fish under conditions more realistic to the aquaculture industry.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- © 2017 Wiley Publishing Asia Pty Ltd. Knowledge of aquaculture-environment interactions is essential for the development of a sustainable aquaculture industry and efficient marine spatial planning. The effects of fish and shellfish farming on sessile wild populations, particularly infauna, have been studied intensively. Mobile fauna, including crustaceans, fish, birds and marine mammals, also interact with aquaculture operations, but the interactions are more complex and these animals may be attracted to (attraction) or show an aversion to (repulsion) farm operations with various degrees of effects. This review outlines the main mechanisms and effects of attraction and repulsion of wild animals to/from marine finfish cage and bivalve aquaculture, with a focus on effects on fisheries-related species. Effects considered in this review include those related to the provision of physical structure (farm infrastructure acting as fish aggregating devices (FADs) or artificial reefs (ARs), the provision of food (e.g. farmed animals, waste feed and faeces, fouling organisms associated with farm structures) and some farm activities (e.g. boating, cleaning). The reviews show that the distribution of mobile organisms associated with farming structures varies over various spatial (vertical and horizontal) and temporal scales (season, feeding time, day/night period). Attraction/repulsion mechanisms have a variety of direct and indirect effects on wild organisms at the level of individuals and populations and may have implication for the management of fisheries species and the ecosystem in the context of marine spatial planning. This review revealed considerable uncertainties regarding the long-term and ecosystem-wide consequences of these interactions. The use of modelling may help better understand consequences, but long-term studies are necessary to better elucidate effects.

Fatty acid composition of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) - Possibilities and limitations for modification through diet
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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.

Post-Surgical Analgesia in Rainbow Trout: Is Reduced Cardioventilatory Activity a Sign of Improved Animal Welfare or the Adverse Effects of an Opioid Drug? : Effects of Post-Operative Analgesia in Fish
- 2014
-
Ingår i: PLoS ONE. - : Public Library of Science (PLoS). - 1932-6203. ; 9:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The use of fish models in biomedical research is increasing. Since behavioural and physiological consequences of surgical procedures may affect experimental results, these effects should be defined and, if possible, ameliorated. Thus, the use of post-surgical analgesia should be considered after invasive procedures also in fish, but presently, little information exists on the effects of analgesics in fish. This study assessed the effects of an opioid drug, buprenorphine (0.05 mg/kg IM), on resting ventilation and heart rates during 7 days of postsurgical recovery in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at 10°C by non-invasively recording bioelectric potentials from the fish via electrodes in the water. Baseline ventilation and heart rates were considerably lower compared to previously reported values for rainbow trout at 10°C, possibly due to the non-invasive recording technique. Buprenorphine significantly decreased both ventilation and heart rates further, and the effects were most pronounced at 4–7 days after anaesthesia, surgical procedures and administration of the drug. Somewhat surprisingly, the same effects of buprenorphine were seen in the two control groups that had not been subject to surgery. These results indicate that the reductions in ventilation and heart rates are not caused by an analgesic effect of the drug, but may instead reflect a general sedative effect acting on both behaviour as well as e.g. central control of ventilation in fishes. This resembles what has previously been demonstrated in mammals, although the duration of the drug effect is considerably longer in this ectothermic animal. Thus, before using buprenorphine for postoperative analgesic treatment in fish, these potentially adverse effects need further characterisation.

Continuous physiological welfare evaluation of European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) during common aquaculture practices leading up to slaughter
- 2021

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) is an aquaculture species with the potential for expanded cultivation in the fresh and brackish waters of Northern Europe. Yet, relatively little species-specific information is available regarding the stress responses and associated welfare implications for this species in captivity. We addressed this knowledge gap by using a combination of implantable heart rate bio-loggers and a range of traditional stress indicators (e.g. haematological parameters and plasma concentrations of cortisol, glucose and ions) to comprehensively evaluate the physiological responses of freely swimming whitefish in captivity, as well as when subjected to aquaculture practices and stressors that commonly occur prior to and during slaughter. Whitefish appeared to recover rapidly from surgery, as resting heart rate decreased within 36 h to stabilize at similar to 25 beats min(-1) for the next 18 days when fish were left relatively undisturbed (i.e. personnel were only present when feeding fish). In contrast with previous studies on farmed rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon, whitefish did not exhibit a clear circadian heart rate rhythm, which may be related to species-specific differences in diurnal locomotor activity. Whitefish also appear to have a well-developed capacity for thermal acclimation of heart rate, as daily resting heart rate did not change during the undisturbed period despite an increase in body temperature from similar to 6.8 to 11.2 degrees C. Following acute stressors such as crowding and transportation, the physiological response of whitefish typically involved transient elevations in heart rate, plasma cortisol and glucose, and red blood cell swelling, while plasma [K+] decreased. In contrast, the heart rate of whitefish plummeted following the combination of brailing (i.e. to haul in fish with a brail/net) and CO2 exposure prior to slaughter, while plasma cortisol, glucose and [Ca2+] significantly increased. An unforeseen finding concerns the substantial and long-lasting physiological stress response observed in whitefish when held in close proximity (i.e. within similar to 10 m) to a rainbow trout net pen, as the mean heart rate of whitefish increased from similar to 32 to 43 beats min(-1) (i.e. an increase of similar to 34%). This may represent an innate physiological response to the threat of predation, which consequently increases the allostatic load and energetic expenditure of whitefish when farmed alongside salmonids. To conclude, this study highlights the importance of performing long-term, species-specific evaluations of freely swimming fish in real aquaculture settings, and provides a platform for further research aiming to determine the welfare implications of simultaneously farming predatory and prey species in close proximity.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aims: The objective was to determine the effects of dietary substitution of fishmeal (FM) with live yeast and increasing water temperature on the diversity and composition of gut microbiota in rainbow trout.Methods and Results: Fish were fed either FM or yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and reared in water temperatures of either 11 degrees C (cold) or 18 degrees C (warm) for 6 weeks. Luminal content and mucosa were collected from the distal gut and the load, diversity and species abundance of yeast and bacteria were analysed using agar plating, MALDI-TOF and rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Yeast in the gut of fish fed FM were represented by S. cerevisiae, Rhodotorula spp. and Debaryomyces hansenii, while fish fed yeast contained 4-5 log higher CFU per g of yeast that were entirely represented by S. cerevisiae. For gut bacteria, sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons using Illumina MiSeq showed lower bacterial diversity and abundance of lactic acid bacteria, especially Lactobacillus, in fish reared in warm rather than cold water. Fish fed yeast had similar bacterial diversity and lower abundance of Leuconostocaceae and Photobacterium compared with fish fed FM.Conclusions: Feeding live yeast mainly increased yeast load in the gut, while increased water temperature significantly altered the gut microbiota of rainbow trout in terms of bacterial diversity and abundance.Significance and Impact of the Study: Live yeast can replace 40% of FM without disrupting bacteria communities in the gut of rainbow trout, while increased water temperature due to seasonal fluctuations and/or climate change may result in a gut dysbiosis that may jeopardize the health of farmed fish.

- Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed for 10 weeks on a diet containing either 30% fish meal (FM) or with 20, 40 and 60% replacement of fish meal protein with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) or a mixture of Wickerhamomyces anomalus and S. cerevisiae(WA). Luminal contents and mucosal tissue from the distal intestine were collected and analysed for yeast and bacterial loads by agar plating. Diversity and abundance were determined by sequencing of amplicons generated from the 26S rRNA (yeast) and 16S rRNA (bacteria) genes. In addition, the diets were analysed before and after feed extrusion to determine the viability and composition of the yeasts ingested by the fish. After extrusion, 9-10 log cells g(-1) of yeast were still intact in the SC and WA diets, but culturable yeast showed log-reductions of 5-7 CFU g(-1). For yeasts isolated from the gut contents, 81-96% of colonies consisted of Debaryomyces hansenii, with few or no colonies of S. cerevisiae or W. anomalus despite their high inclusion rate in the diets. Characterisation of gut bacteria using Illumina MiSeq showed that 70 and 19% of sequences were classified to the phyla Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, specifically sequences identified as Leuconostocaceae, Lactobacillaceae and Photobacterium. Compared with the FM diet, the WA40 diet reduced bacterial diversity, whereas the WA60 diet increased the abundance of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans and reduced lactic acid bacteria in the gut. Overall, 40 and 60% replacement of fish meal protein with a mixture of W. anomalus and S. cerevisiae significantly altered the gut microbiota of rainbow trout, while 20% replacement and diets with only S. cerevisiae had little or no effect.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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.

Effects of feeding yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Wickerhamomyces anomalus, on gut microbiota of rainbow trout
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Introduction 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. Previous studies have fed live yeast, such asSaccharomyces cerevisiae, in cold pelleted diets to farmed fish in order to increase beneficial microbiota in the gut (Gatesoupe, 2007). However, commercial salmonid diets are typically extruded at high temperatures, which can inactivate yeasts and reduce their effects on gut microbiota. In addition, previous studies have used culture-based methods to determine gut microbiota, while the development of next generation sequencing has improved identification of unculturable microbiota. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of feeding yeasts,S. cerevisiae and Wickerhamomyces anomalus, on microbiota in the distal intestine of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Materials and methods A diet of fish meal (FM) was used as a control against yeast diets that replaced 20, 40 and 60% of fish meal (digestible protein basis) with either S. cerevisiae(SC) orW.anomalus/S. cerevisiaemix (WA; Jästbolaget AB, Sweden). Diets were extruded at 120-130oC and later fed to triplicate tanks of 35 rainbow trout for 10 weeks. Afterwards, content and mucosa from the distal intestine of 3 fish per tank were collected. Ingredients, diets and gut samples were plated on yeast-peptone-D-glucose, then 26S rDNA were PCR-amplified and sequenced to determine live yeast counts and taxa. Diets and yeast ingredients were further examined microscopically to determine cell counts of yeast. For gut bacteria, 16S rDNA were PCR-amplified, barcoded and next generation sequenced using Illumina platform (SciLifeLab AB, Sweden). Significant differences (p<0.05) between diets were determined using ANOVA and ANOSIM methods. Results The yeast ingredients,S. cerevisiaeor W. anomalus/S. cerevisiae mix, contained between 9-10 log cfu g-1and SC and WA diets contained 7-8 log cfu g-1before extrusion. After extrusion, all diets had over 4-log reduction in cfu g-1(cultured yeast), however 7-8 log cells g-1of yeast were still viable. Diets of SC and WA contained between 96-100%S. cerevisiaeand 0-20%W. anomalus.After 10 weeks of feeding, the distal intestine contained between 84-96 Þbaryomyces hanseniiwith few colonies of S. cerevisiae and noW. anomalus. For bacteria, the distal intestine contained between 37-62 % ofLeuconostocaceae,Lactobacillaceae and Photobacteriumand significant differences in taxa abundance and similarity were found between fish fed SC60, WA40 and WA60 compared with the FM diet (Fig. 1). Discussion and conclusion This study is the first to analyse intestinal microbiota of rainbow trout fed yeast diets using next generation sequencing. In addition, few studies have investigated the viability and log reduction of yeast after feed extrusion. The low level of culturable yeast compared with the high level of intact yeast cells found after diet extrusion suggested that high temperature from extrusion inactivated yeasts, but did not disrupt the cells. Inactivated, non-disrupted yeast is not ideal because the yeast cannot cultivate the intestine or release nutrients for metabolic uptake. The lack of S. cerevisiaeandW. anomalusin the distal intestine despite the high level of yeast ingestion, suggests that large amounts of yeast were metabolised. However, higher levels of unculturable yeast cells may have been present in the intestinal content and mucosa. For gut bacteria, most were Lactic Acid Bacteria (Lactobacillales order), which includesCarnobacteriaceae, Leuconstocaceae, Leuconstocaceaeand Streptococcaceae families. In comparison, Ingerslev et al. (2014) found similar levels ofStreptococcus, Leuconostoc,Enterobacteriaceae and Lactobacillusin rainbow trout fed fish and plant-based diets.Significant differences in bacteria abundance for fish fed SC60, WA40 and WA60 diets indicated thatW. anomalushad a higher effect thanS. cerevisiaeand that more than 20% replacement of fish meal with yeast affected gut microbiota in rainbow trout.

- Live yeast may be a sustainable protein source in salmonid diets while exhibiting a probiotic effect to counteract environmental stressors, such as increased water temperature that is being exacerbated by climate change. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of feeding a high dietary inclusion of live yeast and increased water temperature on growth, haematological and intestinal physiology of rainbow trout. For six weeks, 129 g fish in 16 tanks (n = 4) were fed either a diet based on fishmeal or based on live yeast (214 g kg −1 of diet or 7.6 log CFU g −1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that replaced 40% of fishmeal protein while fish were reared in water temperatures of either 11 °C (cold) or 18 °C (warm). Fish weights, caudal blood and proximal and distal intestines were collected and analysed. Fish fed live yeast resulted in reduced growth (SGR and WG) and higher FCR, while growth in cold and warm water was similar despite differences in TGC. However, increased mortality, plasma cortisol, and intestinal oedema and villous damage indicated fish reared in warm water were subjected to chronic stress. Temperature had a significant effect on haematocrit and red blood cell counts that resulted in significantly higher haemoglobin levels in fish kept in warm water attributed to an elevated oxygen demand. In the proximal intestine, increased temperature resulted in reduced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, e.g. TNFα and IL8, that were further reduced in fish fed live yeast. In addition, feeding live yeast reduced gene expression of CLD6 involved in gut barrier function, which suggests that the level of yeast was too high and masked any beneficial effects on fish health. In conclusion, feeding a high inclusion of live yeast reduced fish growth and expression of intestinal genes, while increasing the temperature from 11 to 18 °C subjected fish to chronic stress that restricted growth, suppressed innate immunity and induced intestinal damage. Replacing 40% of fishmeal protein with live yeast did not counteract negative effects caused by increased temperature, thus alternative strategies need to be explored and implemented to protect the growth and health of rainbow trout from seasonal and long-term rises in water temperature. © 2019

Post-prandial changes of unstressed and stressed dorsal aorta cannulated rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed yeasts
- 2015
-
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.

- Yeasts can be used to convert organic food wastes to protein-rich animal feed in order to recapture nutrients. However, the reuse of animal-derived waste poses a risk for the transmission of infectious prions that can cause neurodegeneration and fatality in humans and animals. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of yeasts to reduce prion activity during the biotransformation of waste substrates-thereby becoming a biosafety hurdle in such a circular food system. During pre-screening, 30 yeast isolates were spiked with Classical Scrapie prions and incubated for 72 h in casein substrate, as a waste substitute. Based on reduced Scrapie seeding activity, waste biotransformation and protease activities, intact cells and cell extracts of 10 yeasts were further tested. Prion analysis showed that five yeast species reduced Scrapie seeding activity by approximately 1 log10 or 90%. Cryptococcus laurentii showed the most potential to reduce prion activity since both intact and extracted cells reduced Scrapie by 1 log10 and achieved the highest protease activity. These results show that select forms of yeast can act as a prion hurdle during the biotransformation of waste. However, the limited ability of yeasts to reduce prion activity warrants caution as a sole barrier to transmission as higher log reductions are needed before using waste-cultured yeast in circular food systems.

- The supervised learning problem todetermine a neural network approximation $\mathbb{R}^d\ni x\mapsto\sum_{k=1}^K\hat\beta_k e^{{\mathrm{i}}\omega_k\cdot x}$with one hidden layer is studied asa random Fourier features algorithm. The Fourier features, i.e., the frequencies $\omega_k\in\mathbb{R}^d$,are sampled using an adaptive Metropolis sampler.The Metropolis test accepts proposal frequencies $\omega_k'$, having corresponding amplitudes $\hat\beta_k'$, with the probability$\min\big\{1, (|\hat\beta_k'|/|\hat\beta_k|)^\gamma\big\}$,for a certain positive parameter $\gamma$, determined by minimizing the approximation error for given computational work.This adaptive, non-parametric stochastic method leads asymptotically, as $K\to\infty$, to equidistributed amplitudes $|\hat\beta_k|$, analogous to deterministic adaptive algorithms for differential equations. The equidistributed amplitudes are shown to asymptotically correspond to the optimal density for independent samples in random Fourier features methods.Numerical evidence is provided in order to demonstrate the approximation properties and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. The algorithm is testedboth on synthetic data and a real-world high-dimensional benchmark.

SMALLER GENERALIZATION ERROR DERIVED FOR DEEP COMPARED TO SHALLOW RESIDUAL NEURAL NETWORKS
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Estimates of the generalization error are proved for a residual neural network with $L$ random Fourier features layers $\bar z_{\ell+1}=\bar z_\ell + \mathrm{Re}\sum_{k=1}^K\bar b_{\ell k}e^{\mathrm{i}\omega_{\ell k}\bar z_\ell}+\mathrm{Re}\sum_{k=1}^K\bar c_{\ell k}e^{\mathrm{i}\omega'_{\ell k}\cdot x}$. An optimal distribution for the frequencies $(\omega_{\ell k},\omega'_{\ell k})$ of the random Fourier features $e^{\mathrm{i}\omega_{\ell k}\bar z_\ell}$ and $e^{\mathrm{i}\omega'_{\ell k}\cdot x}$ is derived. This derivation is based on the corresponding generalization error for the approximation of the function values $f(x)$. The generalization error turns out to be smaller than the estimate ${\|\hat f\|^2_{L^1(\mathbb{R}^d)}}/{(LK)}$ of the generalization error for random Fourier features with one hidden layer and the same total number of nodes $LK$, in the case the $L^\infty$-norm of $f$ is much less than the $L^1$-norm of its Fourier transform $\hat f$. This understanding of an optimal distribution for random features is used to construct a new training method for a deep residual network that shows promising results.

- The rapid growth of aquaculture and scarcity of conventional fish feed supplements has prompted the introduction of new sustainable supplementation sources. In this study, the potential of five strains of fungal biomass of Ascomycetes and Zygomycetes edible filamentous fungi, Aspergillus oryzae, Neurospora intermedia, Rizhopus oryzae, Monascus purpureus, and Fusarium venenatum, cultivated on vinasse, a by-product of the bioethanol industry, as alternative protein sources for fishmeal in the fish diet was evaluated. It was observed that 5% vinasse with an initial pH of 5-6.5 can support fungal biomass yields of 34.3 +/- 2.4-118.5 +/- 3.9 g DM/L for A. Oryzae, N. intermedia, and R. oryzae. High protein contents of about 44.7%, 57.6%, and 50.9% (w/w), and fat contents of 7.0%, 3.5%, and 5.5% (w/w) were obtained for A. oryzae, N. intermedia, and R. oryzae, respectively. The latter three fungi species contained noticeable amino acid contents, including promising profiles of amino acids that are highly compatible with those of fishmeal. These findings provide evidence that fungal biomasses, with their relatively high protein content, good amino acid profiles, and other essential nutrients, are a promising supplementation alternative that can be produced from low-value by-products and organic-rich waste streams like vinasse to meet the dietary protein requirements in fish feed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The rapid growth of aquaculture and the lack of fish meal demand new sustainable ingre-dients. Although fungal biomass is found to be a promising sustainable fish feed supplementation candidate, the characteristics of this protein-rich source are closely influenced by the quality of the applied growth medium. In this work, the nutritional properties of pure filamentous fungal biomass provided from the cultivation of Aspergillus oryzae, Neurospora intermedia and Rhzopus oryzae were evaluated to assess their potential as alternative novel protein sources in fish feed. In this regard, fungal biomass yields of up to 0.19 ± 0.005 (g dry biomass/g substrate glucose) were obtained during submerged cultivation of fungal strains. The pure fungal biomass acquired could contain significant amounts of protein up to 62.2 ± 1.2% (w/w). The obtained protein had a high quality with notable inclusion of essential amino acids such as lysine, arginine, methionine and threonine with comparable concentrations to those of fish meal. Fungal biomass is mainly considered as protein source, however, entitlement of 6.9 ± 0.5, 4.0 ± 0.7 and 17.2 ± 1.1% (w/w) of lipids and ratio of polyunsatu-rated fatty acids (PUFA) to saturated fatty acids (SFA) of 1.37:1, 1.74:1 and 1.47:1 in A. oryzae, N. intermedia and R. oryzae, respectively, signal health benefits for the fish. Considering the results, protein-rich pure fungal biomass with amino acid composition is greatly compatible with fish meal, and contains essential nutrients such as fatty acids and minerals. This pure biomass constitutes a promising sustainable alternative supplement to be introduced in fish feed industry.

Alternative protein sources for fish, not competing with the human food demand evaluated by traditional and novel approaches
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- At present, most alternative feed sources in fish is since long known in terrestrial animals. However, in a longer time frame this is questionable from a food security perspective, as these sources often are of human food quality. This is an argument rapidly growing in importance. Microbes, insects and products from other forms of extractive aquaculture are of major interest considering their growth potential, nutritional profile, probiotic qualities and ability to use simple resources as substrates. However, with a transition towards a circular economy, substrates that produce such feed ingredients will to a higher degree be based on waste and by-products. This development will demand novel approach in nutrition research in order to understand non-intuitive positive and negative effects in the fish gut biota, immune response, metabolism, welfare and product quality/safety. We will present our ongoing work, concerning physiological implications of alternative protein sources using in situ experimental technologies, such as cannulation and repeated tissue sampling. This work also combines advanced analytic methods of metabolomics and gut microbiota using amplicon next generation sequencing that targets 16S rDNA for bacterial identification. Data on post-prandial plasma AA profile, hematological parameters and erythrocyte indices will be presented together with data concerning the interaction between diet and stress in fish where fishmeal has been replaced by yeast up to 60%. Also, data concerning changes of the microbiota of fish given fungal mycelium-, yeast-, insect- (if ready) and mussel meal will be presented, including comparison between nutrient efficiency of feed given in clear or “green” water environments. Finally, experiments concerning yeast as biological barrier to prions, i.e. food safety, will be discussed. In all, an overall picture of one possible future development in fish nutrition will be painted with a focus on the use of novel feed stuffs in circular food production systems.

- The efficacy of the anaesthetic agents benzocaine, metacaine (MS-222). metomidate and 2-phenoxyethanol was studied in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) with average body weights of 10 4 g. 99 33 g and 1022 274 g at water temperatures of 8 degrees C and 16 degrees C. The agents were tested individually and as combination anaesthesia comprising pre-anaesthetic sedation with a low dosage of metomidate or 2-phenoxyethanol followed by anaesthesia with benzocaine or MS-222. All agents were administered through bath immersion with an exposure time of 5 min. The different treatments resulted in average induction and recovery times ranging from 52 +/- 6 s to 182 +/- 16 s and 77 +/- 26 s to 659 +/- 46 s respectively. Induction and recovery times varied in relation to water temperature and were generally shorter at 16 degrees C for all weight groups and treatments compared to 8 degrees C. For benzocaine and MS-222 induction and recovery times were found to increase with increasing body weight. For metomidate the recovery time increased with increasing weight whereas there were no weight related differences in induction time. No differences in either induction or recovery times associated to body weight were found for 2-phenoxyethanol. Acute stress prior to anaesthesia with MS-222 resulted in significantly shorter induction time and prolonged recovery time, as well as deeper anaesthetised fish. The dosage of MS-222 had to be reduced in order to avoid mortality in fish subjected to acute stress. Combination anaesthesia allowed a reduction of the dosages used for inducing anaesthesia and produced markedly reduced recovery times compared to agents administered individually.

- The efficacy of the anaesthetic agents benzocaine, metacaine (MS-222), metomidate, 2-phenoxyethanol, quinaldine and isoeugenol was studied in Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus). Fish with an average body weight of 33 g were anaesthetized at 8 degrees C and fish with an average body weight of 1243 g were anaesthetized at 8 and 15 degrees C. Agents were tested individually and as combination anaesthesia comprising pre-anaesthetic sedation, followed by anaesthesia. Induction and recovery times varied in relation to the body weight and water temperature. Large fish had longer induction times and shorter recovery times, and displayed reduced responsiveness to handling compared with small fish. A higher temperature resulted in shorter induction times, longer recovery times and increased responsiveness to handling. Lower dosages were used for all agents in combination anaesthesia. In small fish, this had no effect on the induction times but resulted in shorter recovery times and reduced responsiveness to handling. In large fish, combination anaesthesia resulted in shorter induction times whereas no uniform trend in recovery times and no differences in responsiveness to handling were observed. Neither individual agents nor combinations blocked all reflex reactions to external stimulation in all fish of any treatment group. MS-222 and benzocaine, used separately or in combination anaesthesia, were the most effective agents in reducing reflex reactions.

- The analgesic effects of currently used agents, in spite of their proven local effects, are currently being debated as the agents are administrated to fish via inhalation rather than locally at the target site. We therefore recommend that all protocols of procedures requiring general anaesthesia should be complemented by administration of agents with analgesic effect at the site of tissue trauma.

- Stress in response to anesthesia with benzocaine, MS-222, metomidate and isoeugenol was studied in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus), and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) with no concomitant stress from handling or confinement in association with anesthesia or sampling. All of the anesthetics tested induced a stress response in all species, displayed by a release of cortisol to the water. MS-222 anesthesia elicited the highest cortisol release rates, reaching maximum levels 0.5 h post-exposure and returning to basal levels after 3-4 h. Benzocaine anesthesia caused a bimodal response where the initial peak in cortisol release rate was followed by a second increase lasting towards the end of the trial (6 h). This bimodality was more profound in Atlantic salmon than in Atlantic halibut and Atlantic cod. Metomidate anesthesia induced the lowest release of cortisol of the agents tested in both Atlantic halibut and Atlantic cod, but resulted in a bimodal response in Atlantic salmon where the initial increase in cortisol release was followed by a larger increase peaking at 2-2.5 h post exposure before returning to basal levels after 5 h. The stress induced in Atlantic salmon by isoeugenol anesthesia resembled that of MS-222, but did not reach the same elevated level. Overall, the cortisol release was most profound in Atlantic salmon followed by Atlantic halibut and Atlantic cod.

Closing the nutrient loop, a key factor to sustainable aquaculture

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Closing the nutrient loop, a key factor to sustainable aquaculture.Anders K. Kiessling Department of Wild Life, Fisheries and Environment, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, 901 83 Umeå, Sweden (SLU). Abstract In open systems feed is both the single largest cost to the farmer and the major factor affecting the environmental impact of fish farming, including production and transport of the feed as well as effluence from the farm during production. The main difference from terrestrial intensive animal production is that fish is farmed in water where recapture of dissolved nutrients are very difficult. RAS technology has the ability of equalising the problem between terrestrial and aquatic production. The two major issues terrestrial animal production, beyond local environment effects and high input of non-renewable energy, is the use of human grade food resources and secondly the loss of nutrients out of the food production system. Present RAS systems share both these problems with terrestrial animal production as well as the issue of non-renewable energy resources but it is reducing the problem of local impact. In order to make RAS production truly sustainable all these issues, including profitability and animal ethics, must be addressed.
