The content of nutrients and biogenic elements in enriched artemia salina

The work is devoted to the development of technology for enriching artemia with biologically active substances. The development of technology for enriching artemia with biologically active substances is important as an opportunity to obtain starter feeds for aquaculture with the desired properties. High content of high-grade protein, vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, biogenic elements is of great importance. During artificial cultivation of artemia in a closed cycle in the conditions of aquaculture, there is a problem of sufficient accumulation of substances in its body that provide high nutritional and biological value. To solve this problem, we have developed a technology for enriching artemia with biologically active substances at the nauplium stage. The enrichment of artemia with vitamins, amino acids, probiotics, adaptogens, essential lipids allows us to create a new generation of bio-feeds containing a living symbiotic microbiota and ingredients capable of forming balanced complex of functional nutrition for fish. The aim of the study was to evaluate the biological and energy value, the content of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, moisture, ash, micro- and macroelements, heavy metals in artemia at different stages of ontogenesis against the background of its enrichment with a complex of biologically active substances. Intact and enriched cysts, intact and enriched decapsulated artemia eggs, enriched artemia nauplii were analyzed. It was found that against the background of enrichment with biologically active substances, the indicators of metabolic energy increased, the mass fraction of crude protein, the mass fraction of fat and the content of minerals and biogenic elements increased

The composition of monounsaturated fatty acids of artemia enriched with biologically active substances

The work is devoted to the study of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) content in artemia enriched with biologically active substances at different stages of ontogenesis. Artemia cysts are used in the preparation of dietary supplements, highly effective feed additives for farm animals, fertilizers for crop production, chitosan for pharmaceutical industry and cosmetology, as raw materials in many other fields. When growing fish, crustaceans, shellfish in aquaculture, artemia nauplii are used as live starter feeds, which are obtained in situ when cultivating artemia cysts. Recently, the direction of enrichment of artemia nauplia used for feeding fish larvae and fry with biologically active substances has begun to develop: vitamins, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, probiotics. In our work, we used a feed additive for the enrichment of artemia nauplia, including: vitamin-amino acid complex – «Chiktonic», probiotic – «Vetom-1», adaptogen – «Trekrezan», hemp oil. Enrichment was carried out through the skin at the stage of early nauplia. The aim of the work was to study the composition of MUFA at different stages of ontogenesis in intact artemia and artemia enriched with biologically active substances. The main function of MUFA is to activate metabolic processes and maintain homeostasis. When identifying monounsaturated fatty acids of artemia, the race we studied, the following were identified: oleic, palmitoleic, eicosenic, elaidic, erucic, nervonic, myristoleic acids. Oleic, palmitoleic and eicosenic fatty acids played a dominant role in the structure of MUFA. Two fatty acids, erucic and elaidic, can be distinguished in the composition of MUFA, the content of which was minimal

Features of artemia salina ontogenesis in aquaculture depending on the salt level

The work is devoted to the study of influence of salinity level at the rate of hatching, productivity and morphometric parameters of artemia in aquaculture. The cultivation technology of Artemia salina in aquaculture for obtaining live starter feeds has been used in practice for a long time, but it is still far from perfect, since it is developed for a certain averaged artemia, and in practice we have to deal with specific species and their ecomorphs (ecological morphotypes), the optimal conditions of cultivation of which differ in many ways. One of the most important factors determining the development of artemia is the salinity of the environment. The aim of our study was to assess the effect of the salinity level of culture medium at the rate of hatching, productivity and morphometric parameters of artemia grown in industrial aquaculture. The results of the study showed that with an increase in the concentration of salt in the solution for cultivation of artemia, metamorphosis of the free embryo in nauplia is prolonged and the percentage of their yield decreases. Differences in the average population indicators of length and body weight of nauplia were found, which tended to decrease with an increase in water salt concentration. When studying the absolute fertility of female artemia grown at different concentrations of salt, it was found that an increase in water salinity in reproductive age of females makes it possible to increase their absolute fertility when breeding in artificial conditions

Evaluation of the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in artemia at different stages of ontogenesis

The work is devoted to the study of the composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) at artemia of different stages of ontogenesis. The content of PUFA in intact cysts and decapsulated artemia eggs was studied, and the content of PUFA after enrichment of cysts, decapsulated eggs, and artemia nauplia with a multicomponent complex of biologically active substances was also studied. The composition of the enriching complex included probiotics, adaptogens, vitamins, amino acids and hemp oil. The results of the research showed that the use of the enriching complex significantly increased the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids of the omega–3 and omega-6 families. The content of eicosapentaenoic, docosahexaenoic, linolenic fatty acids from Omega-3 family, and the content of linoleic and arachidonic acids from Omega-6 family increased to the greatest extent, primarily in nauplia, decapsulated eggs and artemia cysts, thereby significantly increasing their biological and nutritional value while using as starter feeds for fish
