The hydrolysates were mainly composed of peptide (83.5 % -84.6% ) and displayed different molecular weight distribution pattern. The protective effects of hydrolysates on the freeze-induced denaturation of myofibrillar protein (Mf) from bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) mince during storage at -20℃ for 12 weeks were investigated. The hydrolysate (5 % dried weight/wet weight) reduced the freeze-induced denaturation of Mf as evidenced by the lowered decrease in Ca-ATPase activity and reactive sulfllydryl contents as well as the impeded increase in surface hydrophobicity. Microscopic photographs indicated that the hydrolysates inhibited the growth of ice crystal in fish mince, and then prevented the aggregation of Mf during frozen storage. The protective effects of hydrolysates on freeze-induced denaturation of Mf were influenced by the molecular weight distribution. PPH had strongest cryoprotective ability among three hydrolysates.展开更多

A total of 1080 M. rosenbergii PL, average weight of 6.10 ± 0.4 mg, were equally distributed over 18 fiberglass tanks, (1 m^3 each, and triplicate per treatment). Six experimental isocaloric (14 MJ/kg/digestible energy) and isonitrogenous (35% crude protein) diets were lbrmulated. Control diet (D1, 100% FM) was formulated with FM as the main protein source (0% Artemia). Diets D2-D6 were substituted with five dietary protein levels of frozen Artemia (20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%), respectively. Results showed that growth performance of M. rosenbergii PL fed different Artemia based diets was either equal or superior to prawn fed control FM diet. In addition, increasing dietary frozen Artemia replacement level from 20% up to 100% led to a significant (P 〈 0.05) increase in survival, growth and feed utilization, which indicate that the essential nutrient requirements needed for M. rosenbergii PL was covering with improving feed satiation of PLs. It could be concluded that frozen Artemia biomass instead of fishmeal in M. rosenbergii PL diets can improve survival rate, growth performance, feed utilization, contributing to reducing the use of FM in practical diets and the nursery phase could be shorter and more profitable.展开更多

Cryopreservation of fish sperm usually results in marked decrease in sperm quality, such as swelling or disruption of the plasma membrane, mi-tochondrial dysfunction, diminished sperm motility, impaired velocity, shorter motility period, denatura-tion, and release of some enzymes from spermatozoa. In this paper, damages in morphology, physiology, biochemistry and metabolism, and genetic integrity of fish semen after cryopreservation are discussed. New approaches in assessment of fish thawed sperm quality such as computer assisted sperm analysis, flow cytometic analysis combined with fluorescent probes and single cell gel electrophoresis are also briefly reviewed.展开更多

The results showed, UFA (Unsaturated Fatty Acid) and SFA (Saturated Fatty Acid) were 74/09 and 21/63%, respectively in fresh tissue. So that, DHA (C22:6) oleic acid (C 18:1c) had high amounts (15/07, 20/57) UFA and palmitic acid (C16:0) was the most (13/09%) SFA. The effects of freezing on fish tissue showed that UFA and SFA contents have reached to 58/79 and 22/17%, respectively at the end of cold storage. Also ω-3 and ω-6 series of fatty acids was 24/22 and 15/56% in fresh tissue, but their contents decreased to 8/68 and 5/11% at the end of period. Among, the fatty acids C22:6, C 18:1 c and C 16:0 had the most changes. The changes of fatty acids were significantly at 95% level expected for C18:0.展开更多

The time of flight and the peak to peak amplitude of the ultrasonic signals backscattered by fish are recorded during thawing. The comparison of the evolution curves and images corresponding to first and second thawing shows indicators of accidental thawing. The monitoring of thawing process showed that its assessment can be reduced to the measurement of the water content lost by fish. The attempt to replace the original water lost by fish in first thawing is analyzed. The influence of the transducer frequency on fish thawing evaluation is tested.展开更多

The fish balls were observed to be almost in temperature at -28℃ for air-blast freezer, at -100 ℃ in the liquid nitrogen and the standard house freezing were done at -18℃. The air-blast had the freezing rate of 11.82-20.84 cm h1 while those frozen by liquid nitrogen had the freezing rate of 13.36-22.38 cm/h and standard house freezer held lower freezing rate (7. ! 5-8.02 cm hl). Texture profile analysis results showed that ubi badak's flour gel was harder, sticky, gummy and chewy than that of wheat and banana's flour gels. The proximate analysis revealed that wheat flour had higher protein and moisture content compared to banana and ubi badak flours.展开更多

In this study, the authors investigate the effect of different combinations of sucrose (SUC, C12H22OH) and cryoprotectants (CPAs) on the survival of the catfish embryos (Pangasidae hypophthalmus) at low temperatures (4, 0 and -20 ℃) for short-term storage. For this aim, embryos with somites and optic cups were exposed to different combinations of sucrose with methanol (SUC + MeOH), 1.2-propylene glycol (SUC + PROH) and ethylene glycol (SUC + EG) at four concentrations ratios: (1) 0.5 M SUC + 0.5 M CPA; (2) 1 M SUC + 0.5 M CPA; (3) 0.5 M SUC + 1 M CPA; (4) 1 M SUC + 1 M CPA for 40 min at 4, 0 and -20 ℃. Embryos kept in water at room temperature (RT), 4, 0 and -20℃ were used as controls. The survival rate was expressed as a percentage of hatched embryos per total embryos treated. The results showed that the hatching rate declined significantly when embryos were stored in water at 0 ℃ and -20℃. For embryos at 0 ℃ storage, the highest survival rate (87.78%) was obtained with 1 M SUC + 1 M MeOH combination while at -20 ℃, only embryos in the combined treatments of 0.5 M SUC + 1 MEG and 0.5 M SUC + 1 M PROH reached the hatching stage (40% and 83.33%, respectively). In conclusion, the results showed that the catfish embryos are sensitive to sub-zero temperatures and the combined treatment of 0.5 M sucrose and 1 M propylene glycol can be used to protect catfish embryos from damages caused by low temperature (0 ℃ and -20 ℃).展开更多

Freeze-drying is such a method usually used for preservation of terrigenous bacteria. However, studies using freeze-drying method to preserving marine microorganisms remain very limited. In this study, we optimized the composition of protectants during the freeze-drying of Edwardsiella tarda, a fish pathogen that causes systemic infection in marine fishes. We found that the optimal composition of protectant mixture contained trehalose(8.0%), skim milk(12.0%), sodium citrate(2.0%), serum(12.0%) and PVP(2.0%). Orthogonal and interaction analyses demonstrated the interaction between serum and skim milk or sodium citrate. The highest survival rate of E. tarda was observed when the concentration of Na Cl was 10.0, 30.0 and between 5.0 and 10.0 g L^(-1) for preparing TSB medium, E. tarda suspension and protectant mixture, respectively. When E. tarda was frozen at-80℃ or-40℃ for 6 h, its survival rate was higher than that under other tested conditions. Under the optimized conditions, when the protectant mixture was used during freeze-drying process, the survival rate(79.63%–82.30%) of E. tarda was significantly higher than that obtained using single protectant. Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) image indicated that E. tarda was embedded in thick matrix with detectable aggregation. In sum, the protectant mixture may be used as a novel cryoprotective additive for E. tarda.展开更多
