  We tested the feasibility of breeding individuals with high total lipids using the marine fish, Nibe, as a model. First, the total lipids of wild individuals were analyzed, and at the same time, the gonads of these individuals were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen. After identifying individuals with high and low total lipids, their germ cells were transplanted into infertile recipients. They were then allowed to mature and then subjected to mating experiments. The results showed that the next generation derived from the recipients, receiving germ cells of individuals with high total lipids showed significantly higher total lipids than the next generation derived from the germ cells of individuals with low total lipids. These results indicate that fish fat content is inherited, which has been conventionally thought to be greatly affected by diet.

• Studies on the development of non-fishmeal/non-fish oil feed for sustainable aquaculture

  Basical research for development of non-fish meal/non-fish oil feed for marine fish was conducted to develop the sustainable aquafeed. Marine fish require EPA and/or DHA as essential fatty acids. Therefore, non-fish meal/non-fish oil feed for marine fish was developed by using the dried powder of Schizochitrium which is micro algae rich in DHA. Firstly, a feeding experiment was conducted by using the experimental diet formulated with Schizochitrim powder at the level of DHA requirement. After a feeding trial, identical result was obtained between fish meal/fish oil based diet and non-fish meal/non-fish oil diet with Schizochitrium. A similar kind of experiment was conducted with yellowtail, however, palatability of the diet was too weak to grow. Thefore feed stimulant supplementation improved the feeding activity and resulted a similar growth as fish oil diet.

• The role of copepods as primary producers of polyunsaturated fatty acids

  Project Period (FY)： 2019/04  -  2022/03  Investigator(s): Kabeya Naoki

  The biosynthetic capabilities of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in copepods were elucidated in the present project. The copepods were tiny crustacean species mainly inhabiting in the aquatic environment. Some PUFA such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are physiologically essential nutrients for many animals, although most of EPA and DHA are originated from marine environment. Therefore, understanding PUFA production mechanism in the marine ecosystem is important. In the present project, we have confirmed that particular species within copepods possessed high biosynthetic capabilities of PUFA including EPA and DHA, and hence those species could be primary producers of PUFA in the marine ecosystem.
