Conversion factors of 23.6, 39.5 and 17.2 MJ/kg for protein, lipid and carbohydrate contents, respectively, are frequently used in fish studies to calculate the gross energy (GE) content of compound diets. Values predicted according to the above resulted in linear relationships of observed GE values with similar R (2) and mean prediction error (MPE) values when using either nitrogen-free extract (NFE) (R (2) = 0.5713, RMSE = 1.3134, MPE = 0.0741, n = 129, 32 studies) or starch (R (2) = 0.5665, RMSE = 1.6768, MPE = 0.0839, n = 190, 45 studies) as measurements of carbohydrate content. Apparent digestible carbohydrate content (either NFE or starch) was found to be linearly-related (R (2) values of 0.7531 and 0.7460, respectively) to its dietary content in compound fish diets. Predicted apparent digestible protein (ADP), lipid (DL) and carbohydrate contents, together with energy conversion factors, presented R (2) and MPE values of 0.6205 (RMSE = 1.2606) and 0.2051, respectively, between observed and predicted apparent digestible energy (ADE) content with NFE as measurement of carbohydrate content (n = 97, 17 studies, eight fish species). However, with carbohydrates quantified by starch content, an R (2) value of 0.7017 (RMSE = 1.7556) and MPE of 0.1055 were obtained (n = 37, 10 studies, five fish species).

The need of better labelling of fats in processed animal origin products is urgent. The lack of information makes it possible to exclude n-3 fatty acids in preparations of foods. The higher fat content, the higher n-6/n-3 ratio seems to be a rule. It is desirable to broaden the labelling into which oils have been used when foods are processed. The dietary balance of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids is important for homeostasis and normal development in humans. The ratio between n-6/n-3 fatty acids suggested to be evolutionary developed is between 1 and 4. The main conclusion is that the fat sources used during processing and preparation of convenient foods have the largest impact on the food FA content and composition. A proposal is therefore that this should be declared on the product label especially the n-3 FA content. It is also of large importance to increase consumption of freshwater fish fed suitable feeds containing n-3 fatty acids in central Europe to enable a generally lower n-6/n-3 ratio in the human diet. Therefore optimizing feeds to freshwater fish in culture is urgent and important.

OBJECTIVES: Fish is the major source of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) which are well known to have positive effects in prevention of cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated the possibility to produce common carp with defined flesh quality using finishing feeding strategy and predict changes of fillet FA by a dilution model. METHODS: During the 110-day experiment, fish were fed diets with two different vegetable oils (rapeseed/linseed blend, VO; olive oil, OO) only, or with a subsequent fish oil (FO) finishing treatment for 30 or 60 days. Fillet FA composition was measured and data were compared to the ones predicted by the dilution model. RESULTS: The FO finishing treatment resulted in the higher percentage of SFA (from 19.1% to 23.6%; p<0.001), MUFA (from 46.8% to 51.9%; p<0.001), n-3 PUFA (from 3.6% to 7.4%; p<0.001) and lower n-6 PUFA (from 30.5% to 16.9%; p<0.001) and n-6/n-3 ratio (from 8.7 to 2.3; p<0.001) in groups previously fed the VO diet and in lower MUFA percentage (from 67% to 63%; p<0.001) and n-6/n-3 ratio (from 8.2 to 2.8; p<0.001) and higher n-3 PUFA percentage (from 1.5% to 4.5%; p<0.001) in group previously fed the OO diet. The dilution model gave a good prediction for fillet FA changes (slope of the regression line 0.97-1.00; R2 value of 0.992-0.996). CONCLUSION: The finishing feeding strategy is suggested for production of common carp with a required flesh FA composition for purposes of special nutritional needs, especially for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Výskum probiotík pre akvakultúru je v ranom štádiu a pre ich implementáciu je potrebné vykonať ešte množstvo experimentov. Laktiplantibacily patria medzi mikroorganizmy, ktoré sa najčastejšie používajú na prípravu probiotických preparátov. Doterajšie výsledky nie sú postačujúce, práve preto sú potrebné ďalšie štúdie. Výber probiotík pre akvakultúru a ich vývoj pre komerčné využitie v akvakultúre je mnohostupňový a multidisciplinárny proces vyžadujúci si v prvej etape základný a neskôr aj aplikovaný výskum a posúdenie jeho použitia v praxi. Cieľom štúdie bolo pripraviť probiotické krmivo pre ryby s využitím pomocných látok a následne sledovať prežívateľnosť probiotických bakteriálnych buniek v krmive počas 9-mesačného skladovania pri chladničkovej (4 °C) a izbovej teplote (22 °C). Na prípravu krmiva bol použitý kmeň Lactobacillus plantarum R2 Biocenol™ (CCM 8674) (podľa novej taxonómie Lactiplantibacillus plantarum), potenciálne využiteľný pre probiotické účely v akvakultúre. Lepšia prežívateľnosť probiotických bakteriálnych buniek bola zaznamenaná vo vzorkách krmiva A (Aquatex 41 HMD) v porovnaní so vzorkami probiotických peliet B (Inicio 918-2). Keďže oxidácia mastných kyselín v krmive ovplyvňuje nutričnú kvalitu jednotlivých komponentov krmiva, predpokladáme, že vyššie množstvo oleja v krmive B negatívne ovplyvnilo prežívateľnosť probiotických bakteriálnych buniek. Najvyššie počty životaschopných probiotických baktérií boli zaznamenané pri 4 °C skladovania krmiva. Po 9 mesiacoch skladovania pri chladničkovej teplote počty laktiplantibacilov vo vzorkách krmiva A klesli z hodnoty 7,30 log10KTJ/g na počet 5,57 log10KTJ/g. Teplota je považovaná za rozhodujúci faktor ovplyvňujúci životaschopnosť a prežívateľnosť probiotických baktérií počas doby skladovania.

Research in probiotics for aquaculture is at an early stage of development and much work is still needed. Lactiplantibacilli belong to the microorganisms most frequently used to prepare the probiotics. The available information is inconclusive, since few experiments with sufficiently robust design have been conducted to permit critical evaluation. The development of probiotics applicable to commercial use in aquaculture is a multistep and multidisciplinary process requiring both empirical and fundamental research, full-scale trials, and an economic assessment of its use. The aim of the study was to prepare a probiotic aquafeed via excipients and subsequently to observe the survival of probiotic bacterial cells in the feed during the nine months storage period at a refrigerator (4 °C) or room temperature (22 °C). The strain Lactobacillus plantarum R2 Biocenol™ (CCM 8674) (according to the new taxonomy Lactiplantibacillus plantarum), potentially usable as a probiotic in aquaculture, was administered to prepare the aquafeed. Better survival of probiotic bacterial cells was recorded in a samples of pellets A (Aquatex 41 HMD) compared to the samples of probiotic pellets B (Inicio 918-2). Since oxidation of fatty acids in feed affects the nutritional quality of individual feed components, we assume that higher amounts of oil in feed B negatively affected the survival of probiotic bacterial cells. The highest numbers of viable probiotic bacteria cells were recorded at 4 °C storage of probiotic feed samples. The number of lactiplantibacilli dropped from 7.30 log10CFU . g–1 to 5.57 log10CFU . g–1 after the nine months storage period of feed samples A at 4 °C. Temperature is considered as a critical factor influencing probiotic viability and survival during storage period.

Euglenoid flagellates are mainly fresh water protists growing in highly diverse environments making them well-suited for a multiplicity of biotechnology applications. Phototrophic euglenids possesses complex chloroplasts of green algal origin bounded by three membranes. Euglena nuclear and plastid genome organization, gene structure and gene expression are distinctly different from other organisms. Our observations on the model organism Euglena gracilis indicate that transcription of both the plastid and nuclear genome is insensitive to environmental changes and that gene expression is regulated mainly at the post-transcriptional level. Euglena plastids have been proposed as a site for the production of proteins and value added metabolites of biotechnological interest. Euglena has been shown to be a suitable protist species to be used for production of several compounds that are used in the production of cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals, such as α-tocopherol, wax esters, polyunsaturated fatty acids, biotin and tyrosine. The storage polysaccharide, paramylon, has immunostimulatory properties and has shown a promise for biomaterials production. Euglena biomass can be used as a nutritional supplement in aquaculture and in animal feed. Diverse applications of Euglena in environmental biotechnology include ecotoxicological risk assessment, heavy metal bioremediation, bioremediation of industrial wastewater and contaminated water.
