What is Effects of diet on spontaneous locomotor activity and oxygen consumption in Adriatic sturgeon (Acipenser naccarii) about?

Adriatic sturgeon (Acipenser naccarii) were maintained on a commercial diet enriched either in long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids of the co3 series (3 LCPUFA) or in saturated fatty acids (SFA). The effects of dietary fatty acid composition on spontaneous locomotor activity in normoxia and hypoxia (02 tension = 10.5 0.8 kPa), and on oxygen consumption (Mo2) in normoxia, in hypoxia (02 tension = 6.6 0.8 kPa) and during recovery were then investigated. The effects of adding supplementary vitamin E to the fatenriched diets were also studied. Dietary fatty acid composition had effects on spontaneous locomotor activity and Mlo2 in normoxia. Activity levels were higher in all sturgeon fed extra dietary fats (without vitamin E), when compared with control animals, but fish fed 0c3 LCPUFA had a significantly lower Mo2 than those fed SFA, with intermediate M 0 o2 in controls. In hypoxia, sturgeon 03 LCPUFA did not alter activity or Mo2 whereas those fed SFA reduced both and controls reduced M o2 . During recovery, both animals fed SFA and controls had a higher M o 2 than sturgeon fed c03 LCPUFA. The data indicate that fish fed 03 LCPUFA are more tolerant of hypoxia than controls or those
