- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of single cell proteins ( Kluyveromyces marxianus) as fishmeal substitutes for Oreochromis niloticus during long-term feeding under natural climatic conditions. Juveniles (150) were divided into two groups: the control group, fed with conventional fish diet (T1); and the experimental group, fed with the alternative diet (T2). T1 animals had a higher final weight and per cent weight gain than T2 animals, which we mainly observed in winter and autumn. The lipid content ranged from 1.9% to 3.8% in liver and from 0.2% to 1% in white muscle for both groups. T2 animals had a higher protein concentration in the fillet and the lipid content in this tissue was not altered by diet. Liver and plasma protein content in both groups and the muscle content in T1 decreased during growth. Specific fatty acids ( FAs) were selectively retained in fillet phospholipids ( PLs), primarily as C22:6n3, which was found at high levels in the PLs of both groups during all seasons. Despite the differences observed, the percentage of polyunsaturated FAs in the fillet was similar throughout the experiment for both diets, reaching approximately 50% of the total FA in the PLs.
