Utilización nutritiva de fuentes de proteína alternativas a la harina de pescado en dietas de engorde para dorada (Sparus aurata)

[ES] Se estudia la utilización nutritiva de niveles crecientes de cuatro fuentes proteicas, harina de soja, de altramuz, harina de gluten de maíz y harina de carne y huesos, alternativas a la harina de pescado en dietas de engorde para dorada, especie que junto con la lubina ha experimentado uno de los mayores índices de crecimiento en el terreno de la acuicultura en los últimos 20 años en Europa

Efecto de la inclusión de harinas de cangrejo de diferente origen en piensos para bocinegro (Pagrus pagrus) sobre la textura, oxidación y composición del filete

[EN]The inclusion of two different crab meals in diets on fillet quality parameters was investigated in a six month growth trial with red porgy (Pagus pagrus). A high quality fish meal and fish oil diet was used as a control (Diet C). Fish meal protein in the control diet was replaced by increasing levels of protein from a river crab meal (Procamburus clarkii) (CR) and a marine crab meal (Chaceon affinis) (CM) at 10% and 20% each of them. The inclusion of both crab meals in diets, either at 10% and 20% substitution levels, did not affect the texture quality parameters of flesh except for the adhesiveness, where animal fed on CR20 showed the smallest value respect to those fed the Diet C. Compared to the control fish, a reduction of the fillet lipid oxidation indicated by the Tbars index was observed for fish fed both crab meal based diets, at the higher inclusion level (20%). Increasing dietary levels of the marine crab meal showed an increment of the monoenoicos, n-9 and oleic fatty acid content in the fillets. Results indicate that both crab meals used in present study are suitable as alternative ingredients for red porgy diets in terms of fish flesh quality.
