AQUACULTURE REPORTS(2021)
Abstract
The present study evaluated the enhancement of the growth rate, intestinal health, immune-related genes, and resistance against suboptimal water temperature in common carp (2.01 +/- 0.02 g) by dietary paraprobiotics. Fish were fed dietary heat killed Lactobacillus plantarum (LP20) at 0 (control), 50, and 100 mg/kg for 2 months. After the feeding trial fish were exposed to suboptimal water temperature averaged 13.22 +/- 0.44 degrees C for 48 h. The final body weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, and feed conversion ratio of fish fed LP20 at 100 mg/kg were significantly enhanced (P < 0.05). The villi length and width were increased in fish fed LP20 at 50 and 100 mg/ kg when compared to the control (P < 0.05). The crypt depth was increased by increasing LP20 in a dose dependent manner with the highest value in the group of fish fed 100 mg/kg (P < 0.05). The number of goblet cells showed higher number in fish fed LP20 at 50 and 100 mg/kg than the control group (P < 0.05). The expression of catalase (CAT) gene did not show any changes in transcription before the thermal stress however after thermal stress fish fed 50 mg/kg had upregulated CAT followed by those fed 100 mg/kg. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene expressions showed upregulations in fish fed 50 mg/kg before the thermal stress but after the thermal stress fish fed 100 mg/kg had the highest level of mRNA transcriptions for GPx and SOD genes. In the same manner, the expression of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin 10 (IL-10) were significantly upregulated in fish fed LP20 at 50 mg/kg before the thermal stress whereas the expression of these genes was upregulated in fish fed 100 mg/kg. In conclusion, using LP20 at 50-100 mg/kg resulted in enhancing the growth rate, intestinal morphometry, immune and antioxidative related genes. Accordingly, common carp showed high resistance against suboptimal water temperature stress.
