Ontogeny of the gastrointestinal tract of marine fish larvae Auteur(s) : Zambonino, Jose-luis Cahu, Chantal Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Résumé : Marine fish larvae undergo major morphological and cellular changes during the first month of life. The ontogeny of the gastrointestinal tract combines these two aspects of the larval development and is very interesting in that the timing of functional changes appears genetically hard-wired. The goal of this paper is to give an overview of the gastrointestinal development process in marine fish larvae, with particular attention to three species: sea bass; red drum; and sole, since the description of gut maturation in fish larvae was initiated during the last decade with these species. During the early stages, marine fish larvae exhibit particular digestive features. Concerning the exocrine pancreas, amylase expression decreases with age from the third week post-hatching in sea bass and red drum (approximately 400 degree days), whereas expression of other enzymes (trypsin, lipase, phospholipase A2...) increases until the end of the larva period. Moreover, secretory function of the exocrine pancreas progressively develops and becomes efficient after the third week of life. Concerning the intestine, enzymes of the enterocyte cytosol (in particular peptidase) have higher activity in young larvae than in older. Approximately in the fourth week of post-hatching development in sea bass, red drum and sole larvae, the cytosolic activities dramatically decline concurrently with a sharp increase in membranous enzyme activities of the brush border, such as alkaline phosphatase, aminopeptidase N, maltase... This process characterises the normal maturation of enterocytes in developing fish larvae and also in other vertebrates' species. The establishment of an efficient brush border membrane digestion represents the adult mode of digestion of enterocytes. This paper also describes the role of diet on the development of the gastrointestinal tract. Indeed, the maturational process of digestive enzyme can be enhanced, stopped, or delayed depending on the composition of the diet.

Effect of lipid level in a compound diet on the development of red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) larvae Auteur(s) : Buchet, Vincent Zambonino, Jose-luis Cahu, Chantal Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Résumé : Red drum larvae were fed from day 11 to day 24 post-hatch, with Artemia (LP group) or two isoproteinic-formulated diets with varying lipid levels, 15% (L15 group) and 30% (L30 group). The lipid fraction was composed of a mixture of cod liver oil and soy lecithin. Larvae fed Artemia exhibited the greatest length, L30 diet induced a larvae length significantly greater than that obtained with L15 diet (P < 0,05). No difference was observed in larvae survival among the three dietary groups. The increase in dietary lipid concentration led to an increase in amylase and trypsin secretion levels in 24-day-old larvae. The pancreatic secretion level measured in L30 group was close to that of LP group, suggesting that the maturation of the pancreatic functions was normally developed. Red drum larvae fed the diet containing the higher lipid content (L30) exhibited a more developed brush border membrane digestion in the intestine than larvae fed L15 diet (P < 0.05). Phospholipase A2 was stimulated by the increase of phospholipids in the diet, but no difference was observed for lipase between the two compound diet-fed groups; the LP group exhibited the lowest lipase activity. A plateau in lipase activity may have occurred in red drum larvae from 15% fat level in the diet, suggesting that the maximal lipase activity was reached with 12% neutral lipid in the diet. The positive effects observed with high dietary fat may be due to the phospholipid fraction of the lipid mixture used.

Substitution of live food by formulated diets in marine fish larvae Auteur(s) : Cahu, Chantal Zambonino, Jose-luis Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Résumé : Until recently, it was considered impossible to feed newly hatched marine fish species with a compound diet. Substituting a compound diet for live prey was performed several weeks after hatching, depending on the species. Compound diets were well ingested at the early stage but larvae died with a gut full of food, suggesting that larvae were unable to digest the compound diet. The hypothesis was that younger larvae have insufficient digestive enzymes to thrive on compound diets, and that exogenous enzymes, provided from live prey, are necessary for early stages.The organogenesis of marine fish larvae is not completely achieved at hatching and histological studies have revealed that the anatomy of the digestive tract undergoes developmental changes over some weeks. Nevertheless, biochemical studies over 20 years have shown that most of the digestive enzymes are present in young larvae. Recent studies have provided better understanding of digestion mechanisms in larvae and have led to proposed dietary compositions meeting larvae nutritional requirements. Pancreatic digestive enzymes are detected before mouth opening. Their synthesis is not induced by diet ingestion, but secretory mechanisms in the pancreas, and so enzymatic action, become efficient chronologically after those of synthesis. Inadequate diets can delay the onset of secretion mechanisms. The ratio of secreted enzymes to total enzymes indicates the nutritional value of the diet ingested by the larvae.At the intestinal level, cytosolic enzymes, which are peptidases, exhibit high activity in the early stages, suggesting a high capacity in larvae to digest protein hydrolysate. Indeed, larvae growth and survival is improved by the incorporation of a moderate concentration of peptide or hydrolysate in the diet. Peptidase activity abruptly decreases around day 25 in sea bass, concurrent with an increase in enzymes of the brush border membranes. This corresponds to a normal maturation process of enterocytes. Compound diets can slightly delay the onset of this maturation process, and inadequate diet can prevent it, leading to near death of the larvae. A proper onset of the maturation process has been associated with high larvae survival.The early developmental stage larvae exhibit high hydrolytic capacity, related to their weight. Enzyme activity pattern is age-dependent, but can be modulated by diet composition. Thus, larvae have the ability to digest and thrive on compound diet, if this diet is well adapted. Larvae have different specificities in digestion and nutritional requirements when compared to juveniles. Taking these specificities into consideration, recent research has led to the formulation of a compound diet that was well adapted for larvae from mouth opening, and could totally replace live prey.

Nutrition, digestion et développement des larves de crevettes et poissons marins Auteur(s) : Cahu, Chantal Résumé : This report is presented by Chantal Cahu for obtaining accreditation to supervise research. Since 1981, her research activity has addressed the study of reproducers' nutrition and the young stages of development of marine organisms belonging to two different branch lines, crustaceans and fish. This work, performed in a base-lined research body, IFREMER, is placed within a more general programme of aquaculture development. Indeed, whatever species are at issue, the development of aquaculture in France, as at the global level, is based on the production of juveniles in hatcheries. My work has therefore more precisely the goal of acquiring knowledge about the nutritional needs, mechanisms of digestion and the development of these animals in order to improve the production of prawn post-larvae and fish alevin in the hatchery.
This work took place in three main periods that appear in this report:
- The study of reproducers' nutrition and its influence on the quality of the Penaeid prawn's eggs and larvae. My work has focused mainly on the effect of lipids and vitamins on the development of eggs and larvae.
- The study of the ontogenesis of the digestive functions and the nutritional needs of sea fish larvae, with bass as the model. The goal was to determine the specific nutritional needs of the young stages by studying the implementation and regulation of pancreatic and intestinal digestive enzymes.
- The study of the regulation of certain developmental genes by means of nutrients, so as to understand how these nutrients behave during ontogenesis, particularly during development of the skeleton.
Ce mémoire est présentée par Chantal Cahu pour pour l'obtention d'une habilitation a diriger des recherches. Depuis 1981, son activité de recherche concerne l'étude de la nutrition des reproducteurs et des jeunes stades de développement d'organismes marins appartenant à deux embranchements différents, les crustacés et les poissons. Ce travail réalisé dans un organisme de recherche finalisée, l'Ifremer, se situe dans un programme plus général de développement de l'aquaculture. En effet, quelles que soient les espèces en jeu, le développement de l'aquaculture en France comme au niveau mondial repose sur la production de juvéniles en écloserie. Mon travail a donc plus précisément pour objectif l'acquisition de connaissances sur les besoins nutritionnels, les mécanismes de digestion et le développement des ces animaux afin d'améliorer la production de post-larves de crevettes et d'alevins de poissons en écloserie. Ce travail s'est déroulé en trois grandes périodes qui apparaissent dans ce mémoire : - L'étude de la nutrition des reproducteurs et son influence sur la qualité des oeufs et des larves de crevettes Pénéides. Mon travail a essentiellement porté sur l'effet des lipides et des vitamines sur le développement des oeufs et des larves. - L'étude de l'ontogenèse des fonctions digestives et les besoins nutritionnels des larves de poissons marins, avec le bar comme modèle. Le but était de déterminer les besoins nutritionnels spécifiques des jeunes stades, en étudiant la mise en place et la régulation des enzymes digestives pancréatiques et intestinales. - L'étude de la régulation de certains gènes du développement par les nutriments, de façon à comprendre comment ces nutriments agissent lors de l'ontogenèse, notamment lors du développement du squelette.

Impacts of three different microdiets on Florida Pompano, Trachinotus carolinus, weaning success, growth, fatty acid incorporation and enzyme activity. Auteur(s) : Hauville, Marion Zambonino, Jose Luiz Bell, G Migaud, Herve Main, Kevan L. Éditeur(s) : Elsevier Science Bv Résumé : In this study, three microdiets were tested on weaning of Florida pompano larvae: Otohime, Gemma and a reference diet LR803. The experimental system was stocked with 11-day-old larvae, which were co-fed micro-diets and live food from 11 dph to 17 dph then micro-diets only until 28 dph. Survival from 11 dph to 28 dph was similar for all treatments, with an average of 33%. At the end of the trial, the Gemma larvae were significantly longer and heavier than larvae fed the other diets. Significant differences were observed in fatty acid composition of the diets and larvae between treatments. The Gemma larvae incorporated the lowest amount of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA). However, they had the highest DHA/EPA and ARA/EPA ratios, which is in agreement with the concept that the proportions of polyunsaturated fatty acids could be of greater importance than their absolute amount. Results from the enzyme analysis suggest that fishmeal is suitable as the main protein source for Florida pompano larvae compared to krill meal. This study gives new insights on Florida pompano early nutritional requirements and demonstrated the full functionality of the pancreas at 16 days post hatch, opening possibilities of an earlier weaning time.
