Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The nutritional effect of vitamin E in diets for Litopenaeus vannamei postlarve (PL19) was investigated. Four formulated diets with different combinations of alfa-tocophery1 acetate (alfa-TA), ascorbic acid (AA) and highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) were tested, using four rep1icates. No significant differences in survival were observed among treatments after 34 days of feeding. However, shrimp fed with a diet containing 20/c fish oil (low n-3 HUFA content), 200 mg.kg-1 alfa-TA and 100 mg.kg-1 AA (diet H/E/C) showed significantly better growth than those fed a diet supp1emented with 5% fish oil (high n-3 HUFA content), 200 mg.kg-1 a- TA and 100 mg.kg-1 AA (diet H+/E/C). Shrimp fed with a diet containing 50/c fish oil, 900 mg.kg-1 alfa-TA and 100 mg.kg-1 AA (diet H+/E+/C) showed a significantly higher tissue level of n-6 PUFA than postlarvae fed diet H+/E/C. No definite conclusion could be drawn about a possible interaction between a- TA and AA, since a comparison of the diet containing 50% fish oil, 200 mg.kg-1 a-TA and 700 mg.kg-1 AA (H+/E+/C+) and the diet H+/E/C did not show any significant differences in any of the measured parameters. The antioxidative status of the shrimp tissue (measured by means of the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay and expressed as nM malonaldehyde (MA) per gramme dry weight) was equal for all treatments. Nevertheless, there was a slightly lower MA value with the diet H+/E/C+, indicating that AA may be an effective antioxidant in the aqueous phase and at the water/lipid interface of the tissue. The tissue levels of alfa- T and AA were highly dependent on the amounts in diets and no correlation between alfa- T and AA incorporation could be observed. |
