Abstract

We assessed the effects of fishmeal (FM) replacement by soy protein concentrate (SPC) with inosine monophosphate (IMP) supplementation on growth, digestibility, immunity, blood health, and stress resistance of red sea bream, Pagrus major. FM protein of a FM-based control diet (FM100) was replaced with 25 (FM75), 50 (FM50), 75 (FM25), and 100% (FM0) by SPC protein, and each replacement group was supplemented with 0.4% IMP to formulate five experimental diets. Each diet was randomly allocated to triplicate groups of fish (4.8 g) for 56 days. Results demonstrated that fish fed diet groups FM50 and FM75 had significantly the highest final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, and feed intake. Meanwhile, in comparison to the control, growth performance and feed utilization did not significantly differ with the 75% FM-replaced diet group by SPC with IMP supplementation. Apparent digestibility coefficient of dry matter, protein, and lipid also followed a similar trend. All growth, feed utilization, and digestibility parameters were significantly lower in the FM0 diet group. Triglyceride level was increased (P < 0.05) with the increasing replacement level and it was significantly highest in the FM0 diet group. The fish fed diet groups FM100 and FM50 showed the best condition of oxidative and freshwater stress resistance, respectively. Meanwhile, the groups with up to 75% FM-replaced diet also showed acceptable stress resistance status. Overall, enhanced innate immune responses were observed in the entire FM replaced with IMP-supplemented diet groups in comparison to the control. Considering SGR as a model, the regression analysis determined that 71.7% FM protein could be replaced by SPC protein with IMP supplementation in diets for the growth of red sea bream.
