Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was the major polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in the sperm plasma membrane, and the levels of PUFAs decreased in treated groups during the cryopreservation process. The supplementation of TT (Tribulus terrestris) to Cyprinus carpio sperm at 200 µg∙L-1 positively affected the maintenance of motility parameters and FAs levels after the freeze-thaw cycle, and TT can be used as an herbal medicine instead of synthetic pharmaceuticals to improve the productive performance in aquaculture.

Freshwater snails are a nutritious food source, providing vital amino acids, minerals, and protein with low lipid levels. Hence, the adaptation ability, growth rate, fatty acid (FA) profile, and shell content of Viviparus contectus were determined. Biometric measurements were recorded for 6 months. Over the 6-month cultivation period, specific growth rates were recorded as 0.32% · day-1 for shell length and 0.92% · day-1 for body weight. The FA profile of the freshwater snail included a total of 32 compounds with saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated FAs represented by 13, 10, and 9 types, respectively. Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) exhibited the highest concentration, followed by saturated fatty acids (SFAs) s at 35.14% and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) at 14.57%. Stearic acid (C18:0), erucic acid (C22:1 n-9), and arachidonic acid (C20:4 n-6) were determined as the most abundant FAs within the saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated FAs classes, respectively. The energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy spectra analysis revealed that the shell powder composition consisted of the elements, such as carbon, oxygen, calcium, iron, manganese, and silicium. Overall, V. contectus showed a clear increase in growth over the cultivation period, and future studies are needed to obtain the best culture conditions and intensive production of the species.

The fertilization and subsequently embryo and larvae development are linked to gamete quality and FA (fatty acid) content is one of the specific factors affecting egg or sperm quality. Hence, FA profile of gametes (egg and sperm) was documented in brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) under cultivation. FAs were detected and measured using gas chromatography. These results indicated that a total of 26 and 22 FAs were determined in egg and sperm, respectively. The levels of PUFAs were determined in nearly identical quantities in both egg (47.57%) and sperm (47.53%). DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), LA (Linoleic acid), EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and ARA (Arachidonic acid) were predominant PUFAs for egg and sperm. Interestingly, vaccenic acid (C18:1 n-11) (24.07%) was major FAs in egg. In conclusion, the analysis of fatty acids in broodstock gametes contributes valuable insights into the dietary requirements necessary for effective aquaculture breeding programs.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2025Scopus SJRQ2Farm-Raised Versus Wild Caught Fish: Which is Better?
Can, Erkan; Özçiçek, Esin; Erol, Nida Demirtaş; Austin, Brian
There has been much discussion about which is better, farmed (= aquaculture) or wild-caught fish (= capture-fisheries), with supporters and opponents of both approaches. On balance, aquaculture should be the better option because of the ability to control all aspects of production. The result is that farmed products are often cheaper than wild-caught equivalents. However, there are negative aspects to aquaculture, including habitat destruction, for example the removal of mangroves for the construction of shrimp farms, the effect of escapees on native fish populations, and the possible negative impact of pollution from organic material, pathogens and antimicrobial compounds. The use of wild-caught “trash” fish as a source of protein and oil for the diets of carnivorous fish species in aquaculture is unsustainable. In contrast with wild-caught fish, there is greater variability in supply because of overfishing, quotas imposed by governments, and the effects of adverse weather. Moreover, fishing in distant waters is expensive and hazardous. Certainly, the quality of the product is more difficult to control because the history of the catch is largely unknown. However, there are concerns about illegal fishing activities, and the capture of undersized specimens which impacts negatively on future stocking levels. For the forseeable future, there will be roles for both aquaculture and capture-fisheries to meet the increasing global demand for aquatic food.

Ferula sp. is a perennial herbaceous plant and is used in traditional medicine owing to their antimicrobial, antiviral, aphrodisiac and spermatogenic activities in the world. Hence, Ferula sp. was used in the present study for cryopreservation protocol as a herbal supplement. The impact of different concentrations [0 mM (Control), 30 µg L−1, 60 µg L−1, 90 µg L−1] of Ferula sp. extract on the quality and fatty acid (FAs) composition was assessed in fresh and cryopreserved sperm of Cyprinus carpio. Optimal supplementation of Ferula sp. at a concentration of 60 µg L−1 in the freezing extender significantly improved post-thawed sperm quality of C. carpio. Sperm motility parameters were assessed using the sperm class analyzer system. The fatty acid (FAs) content in sperm was analyzed using gas chromatography. The results revealed that the increases in motility rate (80.0 ± 3.54%) at 60 µg L−1 were increased significantly (p < 0.05). Significant differences in sperm parameters [(VCL: curvilinear velocity, VSL: straight line velocity, VAP: average path velocity, and BCF: beat cross frequency)] were observed between the different treatments (p < 0.05). The Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) showed a slight increase in comparison to fresh spermatozoa during cryopreservation. DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), LA (Linoleic acid) and ARA (Arachidonic acid) were identified as the major PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acid) in the sperm plasma membrane, and however the total PUFAs reduced all treated compared to fresh sperm samples after post-thawing. Overall, the supplementation with Ferula sp. to extender at a concentration of 60 µg L−1 positively influenced the motility parameters and FAs levels during cryopreservation and, Ferula sp. may act as a promising protective substance for the conservation of valuable fish genetic resources.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2025Scopus SJRQ3Identification and Quantification of Fatty Acid Profile of Muscle and Gametes in Threatened Abant Trout (Salmo abanticus) from Wild
Özçiçek, Esin; Kocabaş, Filiz Kutluyer; Kocabaş, Mehmet; Yilmaz, Ökkeş
Abstract: As an important challenge restricting hatchery production, gamete quality and subsequent larvae and juvenile are influenced by broodstock nutritional status (i.e., protein, essential amino acids, fatty acid profile and minerals). Hence, the fatty acid (FA) profiles of muscle and gametes in threatened Abant trout (Salmo abanticus) from wild was elucidated and quantitated using the gas chromatography. Our results indicated that the saturated fatty acids (SFAs) in muscle and sperm (38.00 and 60.98%) of S. abanticus occurred in higher quantities than unsaturated fatty acids. The egg of S. abanticus in the wild is characterized by high (mostly n-6 HUFA, 33.59%). Tricosanoic acid (C23:0) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6 n-3) were not determined in sperm of S. abanticus. Overall, the current study provides FA composition in the reproduction cells and muscle of mature S. abanticus and the gametes and muscle had similar general FA profiles with the dominance of C18:1 n-9 (Oleic acid), C16:0 (Palmitic acid), C4:0 (Butyric acid), C18:2 n-6 (Linoleic acid, LA) and C20:5 n-3 (Eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA).

Özçiçek, Esin; Kutluyer Kocabaş, Filiz; Kocabaş, Mehmet; Yilmaz, Ökkeş
The freshwater snail, Viviparus contectus, is an important shellfish owing to its nutritional composition (i.e., high amounts of protein, essential amino acids, fatty acid profile and minerals) and its promise as a candidate for the treatment of some diseases in traditional medicine. Hence, the seasonal changes in the fatty acid (FA) profile of Viviparus contectus caught from Demirköprü Dam Lake were determined in this study. Saturated fatty acid (SFAs) (64.54–80.39% of total fatty acids) had the highest concentration followed by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (10.63–21.83%) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) (6.57–10.13%). Stearic acid (C18:0) was the major SFA while arachidonic acid (C20:4 n−6) was the major PUFA. The season significantly affected the FA profile of V. contectus while no significant difference was determined between seasons with respect to tissue MUFAs levels. A higher level of total SFAs was detected during spring (80.39%) while a higher proportion of MUFAs was detected during the winter (10.13%). The total amounts of PUFAs were highest in winter (21.83%). Overall, V. contectus has nutritional value. However, V. contectus caught in autumn may be nutritionally the most valuable for human consumption due to higher eicosapentaenoic acid 20:5 n−3 and docosahexaenoic acid contents.

In this study, fatty acids, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K vitamins) and cholesterol contents of wild-caught and farm-raised rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were compared. The amounts of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n-3, DHA) in wild and farmed forms were 21.56%–18.14%, 18.79%–16.21% and 14.34%–11.49% in April, May and June, respectively. Vitamin E, which is one of the fat-soluble and antioxidant vitamins, showed highest level among the vitamins. Vitamin E levels in both wild and farmed fish were 5.11–4.26, 4.83–2.89 and 0.99–1.95 mg/100 g in April, May and June, respectively. The substantial difference between wild and farmed rainbow trout was found in May (p < 0.05). In conclusion, both wild and farmed rainbow trout from Keban Dam Lake (Pertek Region) can be considered as good sources of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). However, it was observed that the n-3 PUFA level in wild form was higher than the culture fish within the investigated monthly periods. On the other hand, farmed fish demonstrated higher levels of n-6 PUFA over the wild individuals.

This study evaluated the potential of three essential oils (EOs) that were obtained from coriander Coriandrum sativum (CEO), linaloe tree Bursera delpechiana (BEO), and lavender Lavandula hybrida (LEO) as anesthetic agents. Convict Cichlids Amatitlania nigrofasciata (Günther 1867) were exposed to eight concentrations of anesthetic (50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, and 300 μL/L). After exposure to the anesthetic, the fish were transferred to clean water to recover. All of the EOs produced an anesthetic effect after exposure to the compounds for 30 min at the minimal effective concentration (MEC), which was identified according to deep anesthesia (A5 < 3 min) and full recovery (R3 < 5 min) times. At 50 and 75 μL/L, the total loss of equilibrium was not observed for all tested EOs. The total loss of reflex was induced at a faster rate with higher concentrations of anesthetic in all groups. The recovery time generally increased as the concentration of the anesthetic increased. These findings suggest that CEO, BEO, and LEO are all novel potential anesthetics for aquaculture, and the optimal concentrations were identified as 150 μL/L (A5; 156 ± 1.7 s and R3; 165 ± 2.9 s), 125 μL/L (A5; 176 ± 3.5 s; R3; 125 ± 2.0 s), and 200 μL/L (A5; 20.1 ± 2.4 s and R3; 162 ± 3.4 s), respectively. When considering the active ingredients of EOs, this study also demonstrated that future studies should be focused on the major components such as linalyl acetate, 1.8-cineole, α-pinene, geraniol, and linalool. Their synergistic effects should be examined in herbal anesthetic treatments, since new commercial anesthetics will likely contain them.

Özçiçek, Esin; Can, Erkan
Proteins, which are the most important substances in the structure of living organism, are polymers of aminoacids with their chemical qualities. Aminoacids can be converted into other substances during metabolism, and can be used in the synthesis of certain chemical structures that the body needs. While more than 90% of the amino acids in the structure of living organisms are present in the protein, the other part is found as free aminoacids in all tissues and body fluids. Fish cannot synthesize all the aminoacids in their body. Unsynthesised aminoacids must be given to fish with feed. The use of proteins in the embryological and larval stages is very important, and free aminoacids are one of the most important components of energy metabolism. Aminoacids are also used as quality indices for various fish species. Studies have shown that freshwater fish require especially essential amino acids. These; arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. In this study; information on the importance of aminoacids in freshwater fish has been compiled.

The anesthetic potential of geranium oil (Pelargonium graveolens L.) was evaluated in two freshwater aquarium fish species, the electric blue hap (Sciaenochromis fryeri, 2.00 ± 0.61 g) and blue streak hap (Labidochromis caeruleus, 2.31 ± 0.52 g). Fish were exposed to nine concentrations of anesthetic (25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, 300 μl L−1). The induction time generally decreased significantly with increasing concentration of geranium oil for both of the fish species. The recovery time increased with the enhancing geranium oil concentration. Deep anesthesia took between 61.19 ± 7.25 s and 165.43 ± 6.78 s for S. fryeri and between 73.32 ± 8.92 s and 171.12 ± 10.74 s for L. caeruleus. Recovery occurred after 96 ± 6.87 s (L. caeruleus), with the longest being 291.45 ± 8.31 s (S. fryeri). The minimal effective concentration was 75 μl L−1 for deep anesthesia for both two species, and 50 μl L−1 was found as the minimal sedative concentration at the stage of loss of equilibrium. These findings suggested that geranium oil is a new potential anesthetic for two ornamental fish species.

The efficacy of Cymbopogon citratus essential oil (CcEO) as a herbal anesthetic agent was evaluated for two ornamental fish species, Sciaenochromis fryeri and Labidochromis caeruleus. Fish were exposed to various essential oil concentrations and the lowest effective concentrations were determined according to deep anesthesia (AD<3 min) and full recovery (RF<10 min) times. CcEO showed anesthetic traits and induced AD in S. fryeri and L. caeruleus. The lowest effective concentrations was 200 µl/L for S. fryeri (AD; RF → 122 ± 1.8 s; 638 ± 8.9 s) and 200 µl/L for L. caeruleus (AD; RF → 139 ± 6.9 s; 625 ± 11.1 s). At concentration of 25 µl/L C. citratus essential oil did not induce AD in both of ornamental fish species. No significant differences were found between fish species in terms of induction and recovery times for same concentrations excluding AD time of 200 µl/L concentration. Although the fastest AD were obtained by 300 µl/L, recovery times were prolonged and fish did not full recover in 20 min. Induction and recovery times for CcEO were significantly dependent on concentrations and negative relationships were recorded between AD and RF. Neither mortality nor adverse effects were observed on two fish species. As a result, CcEO showed anesthetic properties for S. fryeri and L. caeruleus.

The efficacy of anesthetic chamomile oil (from Matricaria chamomilla L.) was evaluated in two freshwater aquarium fish species, Electric Blue Hap (Sciaenochromis fryeri) and Yellow Princess (Labidochromis caeruleus). Fish were exposed to ten concentrations of anesthetic (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0 ml/L). The optimal concentrations identified as 0.6 ml/L for deep anesthesia (A5) for both two species. The minimal sedative concentration at the stage of loss of equilibrium (A3) was found to be 0.3 ml/L. The induction time generally decreased significantly with increasing concentrations of chamomile oil for all treatment groups. Recovery time tended to increase with increased chamomile oil at concentrations lower than 0.7 ml/L, but after this concentration it decreased. Chamomile oil proved to be effective as an anesthetic for both ornamental fish species. These findings suggest that chamomile oil is a promising anesthetic agent for aquaculture. However, further studies should be focused on species based investigations on the effect of temperature, transfer of fish, and their effect on antioxidant and oxidant status, in order to gather further information.
