The types of proteins vary between different microalgae and cyanobacteria. The aim was to study the effect of the variation in proteins and in non-proteinaceous components present in various unicellular protein isolates on their emulsion behavior. Algae soluble protein isolates (ASPIs, 66–77% w/w protein) of Nannochloropsis gaditana, Tetraselmis impellucida and Arthrospira (Spirulina) maxima were studied, using commercially available WPI as a reference (93% w/w protein). All protein isolates could form emulsions stable against creaming (d3,2 0.2–0.3 μm) at pH 8.0. The amount of each ASPI needed (Ccr; on protein basis) to form these stable emulsions varied between the isolates, but was within the range of proteins from both similar (photosynthetic) sources (algae and sugar beet leaves) and other protein sources (dairy, legume and egg). Minor differences were observed in the pH dependence of flocculation amongst the ASPI stabilized emulsions. For the ASPIs, the expected correlation between interfacial and molecular properties (adsorption rate constant and ζ-potential) and the emulsion behavior (Ccr and droplet size as a function of pH) was absent.

It was hypothesized that disrupting the cell walls of microalgae increases the nutrient accessibility and digestibility. N. gaditana biomass was subjected to physical treatments (pasteurization, freezing, freeze drying) or mechanical treatments (bead milling) to influence its cell wall integrity. These treatments resulted in an up to 4 x increase in in vitro accessibility of N. gaditana nutrients, assessed from measurements of leaching and susceptibility to protein hydrolysis. Apparent digestibility coefficients of macronutrients, dry matter, energy, phosphorus and calcium of untreated and treated microalgae biomass were determined in triplicate, at a 30% diet inclusion level. Bead milling the algae led to the highest increase in in vivo digestibility of dry matter, energy, protein, fat, ash and calcium on ingredient level, compared to untreated algae biomass. This includes an increase in apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of protein and fat from 62 to 78% and from 50 to 82%, respectively. ADCs of total carbohydrates and of phosphorus were not affected by algal cell disruption. In vivo digestibilities of N. gaditana dry matter, energy, protein, and fat were positively correlated ( p r ≥ 0.91) with the nutrient accessibility of N. gaditana , as estimated with in vitro nutrient leaching analyses. This shows that the in vitro methods used are effective ways to assess the effect of mechanical and physical treatments on in vivo nutrient quality of a single ingredient. The results of this study confirm that nutrient accessibility plays a significant role in the nutrient digestibility of the microalga Nannochloropsis gaditana in Nile tilapia.

This study investigated the combined effects of hypoxia and dietary electrolyte balance on the growth performance, body composition and nutrient utilization in a rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) isogenic line. Fish were fed ad libitum two experimental diets: electrolyte-balanced or -imbalanced diets (DEB 200 or 700 mEq kg, respectively) and exposed to normoxia or hypoxia (7.9 or 4.5 mg O l, respectively) for 42 days. DEB did not affect FI, growth performance or body composition. Nevertheless, hypoxia had a negative impact, reducing FI (6%), growth rate (8%), oxygen consumption (19%), energy (5%) and lipid (42%) contents. Digestible energy intake and heat production were higher in normoxic fish (40% and 23%, respectively), retaining 64% more energy in lipid or protein. Hypoxia reduced the apparent digestibility of dry matter, ash, protein, lipid, carbohydr...

In these conditions, fish may be exposed to suboptimal dissolved O2 levels with an increased formation of reactive O2 species (ROS) in tissues. Seaweeds (SW) contain biologically active substances with efficient antioxidant capacities. This study evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation of heat-treated SW (5% Gracilaria vermiculophylla or 5% Ulva lactuca) on stress bioindicators in seabream subjected to a hypoxic challenge. One hundred and sixty-eight fish (104.5 g each) were distributed in 24 tanks, in which eight tanks were fed one of three experimental diets for 34 days: a control diet without SW supplementation (i), or a control diet supplemented with Ulva (ii) or with Gracilaria (iii). Thereafter, fish from 12 tanks (n= 4 tanks/dietary treatment) were subjected to 24 h hypoxia (1.3 mg O2 l(-1)) and subsequent recovery normoxia (8.6 mg O2 l(-1)). Hypoxic fish showed an increase in hematocrit values r...
