    Abstract:
    A 12-week factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the interactive effects of dietary algal meal (Schizochytrium sp., AM) and micro-minerals (MM, either organic [OM] or inorganic [IM]) on the immune and antioxidant status, and the expression of hepatic genes involved in the regulation of antioxidants, inflammatory cytokines, lipid metabolism, and organ growth of largemouth bass (LMB; Micropterus salmoides) fed high-and low-fishmeal (FM) diets. For this purpose, two sets of six iso-nitrogenous (42% crude protein) and iso-lipidic (12% lipid) diets, such as high (35%) and low (10%) FM diets were formulated. Within each FM level, AM was used to replace 50% or 100% of fish oil (FO), or without AM (FO control) and supplemented with either OM or IM (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, and Se). Diets were fed to juvenile LMB (initial weight, 25.87 ± 0.08 g) to near satiation twice daily. The results indicated that FO replacement by dietary AM did not change the levels of most biochemical (ALB, AMY, TP and GLOB), antioxidants (SOD, GPx and GSH), and immune (IgM and lysozyme) parameters in LMB, except ALP and CAT. MM affected only hepatic GSH, with lower values in fish fed the OM diets. FM influenced the levels of ALP, AMY, GLOB, IgM, and MDA (P < 0.05). A three-way interactive effect (P = 0.016) was found on IgM only, with lower levels in fish fed diet 12 (low-FM, AM100, OM). Subsequently, the relative expressions of hepatic antioxidants (Cu/Zn-SOD and GPx-4), inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and TGF-β1), lipid metabolism (FASN and CYP7A1), and organ growth (IGF-I) related genes were affected by the dietary treatments, with interactions being present in Cu/Zn-SOD, TNF-α, TGF-β1, FASN and IGF-I. Overall, dietary AM could be used as an alternative to FO in low-FM diets without compromising the health of LMB, especially when it is supplemented with MM.
