Reproductive quality evaluation of male Indian white prawn Penaeus indicus broodstock fed diets supplemented with polychaete extracts (Marphysa sp.)

ABSTRACT The present study determined the effect of different polychaete extracts, namely, total soluble fraction (TSF), neutral lipid fraction (NLF) and polar lipid fraction (PLF), in the maturation and sperm quality of male Penaeus indicus. Three levels (0.25, 0.50 and 1.00%) of extracts were included using a 3 × 3 factorial design. Groups fed the basal diet (BD) and fresh-frozen diet served as controls. Extracts in varying doses and control groups did not have a significant effect on broodstock survival (67–87%; p = 0.960), maturation rate (42–68%; p = 0.615), inter-spermatophore period (8–10 days; p = 0.505) or sperm viability (97–100%; p = 0.819). However, sperm counts of broodstock fed BD (11.70 × 106 ±1.05 × 106 per spermatophore) and those fed diets supplemented with polychaete extracts were significantly higher compared to that fed with control fresh diet at 0.73 × 106± .09 × 106 (p = 0.001). Spermatophore crude lipid was highest in groups fed 0.25% TSF and 0.25% PLF of broodstock (p =1.0 x10−6 ). Inclusion of TSF (0.25–1.00%) significantly increased the spermatophore crude protein content of broodstock compared to those fed with other diets (p = 1.20 × 10−5). These results demonstrate that NLF and TSF extracts are bioactive components of polychaete which when fed to male P. indicus, can stimulate aspects of sperm production.

Evaluation of maturation promoting factor in polychaete ( Marphysa sp.) on Indian White Prawn , Penaeus indicus female broodstock

Polychaete is considered the best maturation diet for penaeids; however, fluctuating supply and quality warrant detailed studies to understand the specific maturation-promoting factors present in polychaete. Indian white prawn, Penaeus indicus, was fed diets supplemented with different fractions of Marphysa sp. extracts. Fractions, such as the total soluble fraction (TSF), neutral lipid fraction (NLF), and polar lipid fraction (PLF), were incorporated in the maturation diet at 0.25, 0.50, and 1.00% following a 3 × 3 factorial design. One group was fed with basal diet (BD), and another was fed with fresh squid, mussel, and polychaete, serving as the control. After a 30-day feeding trial, results showed that the inclusion of polychaete extracts in the diet significantly improved P. indicus maturation compared to groups fed BD and control with 40% maturation rates (MR) (p = 3.4 × 10−4). MR was optimum in groups receiving diets supplemented with ≥0.5% TSF (70.00% ± 0.00) and NLF (60.00% ± 5.77). Similar improved MR was achieved in treatments receiving ≥0.25% PLF supplementation (60% ± 0.00). Accordingly, relative expression of ovarian vitellogenin mRNA of broodstock fed under 0.25 and 0.50% PLF group was 4.44 and 3.96 folds higher than BD, respectively (p = 0.003). No significant differences were detected in the broodstock survival, latency period, hepatosomatic, and gonadosomatic indices. Biochemical content analyses showed no significant differences among the nine treatments except for broodstock's higher ovary protein content in the TSF group (p = 0.037). This study highlights PLF as the most potent component of the polychaete extract in promoting gonad maturation in P. indicus maturation supplemented at a 0.25% optimum inclusion level.

Inhibition of Melanosis and Quality Changes on Indian White Prawn Treated with Lemon and Pomelo Peel Extracts Conjugated with Copper Sulfide Nanoparticles during Chilled Storage

ABSTRACT The study was aimed at the assessment of lemon peel extract (LPE) and pomelo peel extract (PPE) conjugated with copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuSNPs) influence on melanosis formation and improving the quality of chilled stored Indian white shrimp (Fenneropenaeus indicus) after 15 days. Biochemical indices, microbial count, and sensory analysis was performed at 3 day intervals. The trimethylamine, total volatile base nitrogen, free fatty acid, and peroxide value of control was 18.01 ± 0.79 mgN/100 g, 45.08 ± 1.1 mgN/100 g, 0.14 ± 0.01% of oleic acid, and 16.42 ± 0.612 milliequivalents/kg, whereas LPE+PPE+CuSNPs was 10.94 ± 1.04 mgN/100 g, 17.51 ± 1.1 mgN/100 g, 0.091 ± 0.01% of oleic acid, and 7.57 ± 0.38 milliequivalents/kg, respectively, at the 15th day of storage. The biochemical indices, microbial count, and sensory score of the treated sample was significantly lower (P < .05) than the untreated sample at day 15. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of this biopreservation technique, which could provide a new alternative in preservation techniques, as well as impact shelf life and product safety.

RETRACTED: Effects of lemon and pomelo peel extracts on quality and melanosis of Indian white prawn during chilled storage

AbstractThe effects of lemon (Citrus limon) and pomelo (Citrus maxima) peel extracts have been investigated on the quality and melanosis of Indian white prawns (Fenneropenaeus indicus) during 15 days of storage (4℃). The extracts were also subjected to antioxidant assays viz.1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picryl hydrazyl radical reducing power (DPPH), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total phenolic content (TPC), ferric‐reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). The extracts were also subjected to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) for the analysis of high‐ and low‐molecular‐weight chemical entities present in each of the extracts. The TPC, TAC, and FRAP of lemon peel extract were 53.35 ± 0.46 mg GAE/g, 143.79 ± 0.94 mg Eq Asc/g, and 2.157 ± 0.015 mmol Fe(II)/g, respectively, and for the pomelo peel extract were 12.44 ± 0.65 mg GAE/g, 70.08 ± 1.74 mg Eq Asc/g, and 1.402 ± 0.005 mmol Fe(II)/g, respectively. Lemon and pomelo extracts treated samples exhibited an enhanced effect on shelf life extension and quality maintenance than untreated samples during chilled storage.Practical applicationsThe Indian white prawn is an economically important crustacean that exhibits melanosis after prolonged storage. Melanosis is characterized by the development of black spots caused by polyphenol oxidase and is the most significant issue in the shrimp industry. It is the primary concern to retard melanosis associated quality loss. Shrimp polyphenol oxidase was inactivated by lemon and pomelo peel extracts. These extracts have no effect on the organoleptic properties of shrimp. Hence, lemon and pomelo peel extracts have the potential to be a promising and natural preservative for preventing shrimp quality loss in the industrial environment.

Risk assessment of heavy metals in marine fish and seafood from Kedah and Selangor coastal regions of Malaysia: a high-risk health concern for consumers.

The heavy metals namely Fe, As, Cu, Cd, and Pb were investigated in two marine fishes silver pomfret (Pampus argentus) and torpedo scad (Megalaspis cordyla), and three seafoods sibogae squid (Loligo sibogae), Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus), and mud crab (Scylla serrata) by using inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometer (ICP-MS) from two renowned fish harvesting coastal area of Malaysia named as Kedah and Selangor. Among the target heavy metals, highest mean concentration of As and Fe were found in Scylla serrata (72.14±7.77 μg/g) in Kedah and Megalaspis cordyla (149.40±2.15 μg/g) in Selangor. Pearson's correlation results showed As-Fe-Cd-Cu originated from the same source. Maximum estimated daily intake (EDI) values of Scylla serrata were found 175.25 μg/g/day and 100.81 μg/g/day for child in both Kedah and Selangor areas respectively. Hazard quotient (HQ) and hazard index (HI) results revealed that local consumers of Kedah and Selangor will face high chronic risk if they consume Scylla serrata, Fenneropenaeus indicus, and Megalaspis cordyla on regular basis in their diet. Carcinogenic risk results suggested that all the studied species pose very high risk of cancer occurrences to the consumers in both areas. Therefore, it could be recommended that consumers should be aware when they are consuming these marine species since they can pose serious health risk associated with prolonged consumption.

Preliminary observations on culture potentials of Indian white prawn (Penaeus indicus) in low saline earthen ponds

To assess the growth and culture potentials of Indian white prawn Penaeus indicus, locally knownas Chaka Chingri, a preliminary trial was conducted for a period of 145 days in earthen ponds. The postlarvae were collected from Sundarbans coast and stocked in 3 ponds of 0.056 ha each with the stockingdensity at 30, 40 and 54 m-2in T1,T2 and T3 treatments respectively. Commercial pelleted feed with 36%protein was fed. Production and physico-chemical parameters were recorded and analyzed according tostandard methods. After 145 days of rearing, obtained average final weight was 22.18±6.71g, 25.25±3.11gand 29.25±2.88g; with the estimated yield of 1197 kg/ha, 3030 kg/ha, and 3632 kg/ha, survival was 18%,30% and 23% in T1, T2 and T3 treatments respectively. Results and findings of the present study suggestedthat P. indicus might be potential mariculture candidate in the coastal areas of Bangladesh.

Interactive influence of dietary protein and lipid on maturation of Indian white prawn, Penaeus indicus broodstock

The establishment of protein and lipid requirements for growth of penaeid species is essential in maximizing productivity but information on the effects of these nutrients on gonad maturation is still lacking. Indian white prawn, Penaeus indicus (H. Milne Edwards) broodstock, were fed formulated maturation diets containing varying levels of dietary protein (35, 45 and 55%) and lipid (6, 12 and 18%) combinations following a 3×3 factorial design. Control group was fed with fresh mussel, squid and polychaete. Results indicate that treatment groups receiving diets of 45/18 and 55/12 protein/lipid combinations and the control exhibited higher maturation rates than the other treatments (p = 1.9 × 10−4). Shrimp broodstocks fed diets containing the lowest protein or lipid levels exhibited poor gonad maturation. Hepatopancreas damage and gonadal atresia were apparent in treatments with high dietary lipid based on histological and biochemical analyses. The diet with 55/12 protein/lipid combination is therefore best recommended for P. indicus gonad maturation. This study demonstrated that a well-formulated diet that satisfies the protein and lipid requirements can support successful gonadal maturation comparable with feeding the broodstocks fresh maturation diets.

Effects of green tea- and amla extracts on quality and melanosis of Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus, Milne Edwards, 1837) during chilled storage

Effect of ethanol extracts of green tea (Camellia sinensis L.) and amla (Phyllanthus emblica Linn) were investigated on quality and melanosis of chilled stored Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus) during 28 days. Extracts were subjected to antioxidant assays viz.1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl radical reducing power methods (DPPH), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total phenolic content (TPC) and ferric reducing antioxidant power(FRAP) to evaluate antioxidant potentiality and fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) to identify organic constituents. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) inhibition was assessed to check the efficacy of the extracts as anti-melanogenic agents. Biochemical (total volatile nitrogen, free fatty acid and peroxide values), bacteriological (aerobic counts), melanosis inhibition and sensory quality of chilled stored shrimp were addressed to investigate the efficacy of extracts as preservative and anti-melanogenic remedy. Free reducing power of green tea - and amla extracts were in a range of 28.72–65.67%and 17.38–66.95%, respectively. Phenolic content level was almost same for green tea and amla extract (2.46 ± 0.002 and 2.51 ± 0.036 mg GAE/gram). Total antioxidant capacity of green tea (210.33 ± 4.63 mg EqAsc/g) was slightly higher than that of amla extracts (145.56 ± 1.98 mg EqAsc/g). FRAP value revealed that green tea(477.49 ± 3.25 mgE Fe (II)/g) had more ferric reducing power than amla (324.39 ± 5.85 mgE Fe (II)/g).FT-IR analysis revealed the presence of essential organic bioactive compounds, which play an important role in reducing lipid oxidation and quality loss, and both extracts possess an encouraging PPO inhibition ability. Treatment by green tea - and amla extracts on chilled stored shrimp showed promising effects on biochemical and microbiological parameters followed by melanosis inhibition and enhanced sensory attributes. Treated Indian white prawn with green tea – and amla extract revealed significantly (P < 0.05) lower value of biochemical indices and microbial load during chilled storage compared to untreated sample.

Market Efficiency Indicators in Marine Fish Marketing in Goa, India

The Indian State of Goa has a coastal length of 104 Kms and the State contributes 1.85% to the marine fish production of the country. A study was conducted to assess the market efficiency indicators such as Gross Marketing Margin, Percentage Share of Fisherman in the Consumers Rupee (PSFCR) and the Coefficient of variation. The study revealed that high value fishes such as cobia, silver Whiting, seer fishes, prawns and milk shark recorded a comparatively higher price spread. Varieties which recorded higher PSFCR were speckled prawn (72.86%), cobia (70.31%), seerfish (69.98%), Brown shrimps or ginga prawns (69.43%), pony fish (67.58%) and milk shark (65.61%). At the point of first sales, high value fishes such as cobia, seerfishes, prawns and silver biddy had a co-efficient of variation of less than 10% indicating a higher price stability. High value fishes such as ribbon fishes, seerfishes, cobia, indian white prawn, barracudas, brown prawns, speckled prawns, kadal shrimps and half beaks were among the list of fishes which recorded a low co-efficient of variation of less than 10% at the point of last sales.

Changes in Functional Properties of Protein in High Pressure-Treated Indian White Prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus) during Chilled Storage

ABSTRACT High pressure (HP) treatment of 250 MPa pressure, 6-min holding time, and 400 MPa/min ramp rate at 25°C was applied to headless Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus) to investigate the significant modifications on the functional properties of protein during chilled storage. Muscle fibers were shrunk and extracellular space apparently reduced after HP treatment. Myofibrillar proteins denatured and sarcoplasmic proteins aggregated and were found to be stable in HP-treated sample during chilled storage. Water-holding capacity, solubility, viscosity, and Ca2+ ATPase activity of protein were diminished, whereas foam expansion, foam volume stability, and turbidity of proteins improved with HP treatment and storage period (p < .05). Turbidity of the protein was inversely proportional to viscosity, solubility, and Ca2+ ATPase activity in HP-treated samples.

Changes of microflora in high pressure treated Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus)

ABSTRACTThis study was to investigate the piezotolerance and diversity indices of microflora of Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus) after high pressure (HP)-treatment. Indian white prawns subjected to HP-treatments and its effect was studied up to species level and compared with unpressurized samples. The bacterium was identified by using bacterial identification schemes, biochemical tests and API kits (bioMérieux, Marcyl’Etoile, France). Diversity analysis was performed using PRIMER (Plymouth Routines in Multivariate Research) software v 5.2.2. The significant elimination of microflora was found to be proportional with the pressure level. In the case of spore formers, mere destruction was noticed after HP-treatment. Arthrobacter spp., Listeria grayi and Corynebacterium spp. were the most piezotolerant bacteria in HP-treated samples. Diversity indices revealed a significant reduction of microflora of Indian white prawn. The apparent reduction of microflora with pressure level was clearly evident from the diversity indices; moreover a diminished piezotolerance of Gram negative spoilage bacteria was also observed.

Supplementation of an Immunomodulator, Ergosan in Early Larvae Rearing of Indian White Prawn, &lt;i&gt;Fenneropenaeus indicus&lt;/i&gt;

Efficacy of an algine-based immunomodulator, Ergosan was tested on growth and survival of early larval stages (nauplii – PL3) of Indian white shrimp, Fenneropenaeus indicus in fibreglass tanks (10,000 l) for two larval rearing cycles. Larvae fed on a diet with Ergosan were considered as treatment and those fed on a diet without Ergosan as control. Both control and treatments were replicated in five tanks and arranged in a completely randomized design. Significant difference (P < 0.01) in survival was observed between control and treatment. However, growth of larvae was not influenced by the supplementation of Ergosan. Total colony forming units, yellow, green Vibrio and luminescent bacterial colonies were found to be significantly decreased in treatment tanks. Thus Ergosan was found to be a safe immunomodulator for improving larval survival and reducing bacterial load in rearing water.

Optimization of high pressure processing parameters of Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus)

ABSTRACTThe effect of pressure (150, 250 and 350 MPa), ramp rate (200, 400 and 600 MPa/min) and holding time (3, 6 and 9 min) on the quality indices (dependent variable) of Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus) was optimized using response surface methodology. Box–Behnken response surface design was used with 15 runs. Second-order response surface model was fitted to the experimental data and the model adequacy was measured by R2 value. The linear and quadratic effect of pressure, ramp rate and holding time was significant for tri-methylamine, total volatile base nitrogen and total plate count. Based on the ridge analysis and response surface plots, the optimum combination obtained was 250 MPa pressure, 400 MPa/min ramp rate and 6 min holding time for high pressure (HP) processing of Indian white prawn. Validation of the experiment indicated that the developed model was appropriate to predict quality indices in Indian white prawn processed by HP processing.

Total Heterotrophic Bacterial Load in the Gut of Detritus Fishes: A Case Study of Pichavaram Mangrove Environment, Southeast Coast, India

Total heterotrophic bacterial (THB) load of detritus fin and shell fishes collected from mangrove environment were investigated. The collected fish and prawn samples were subjected to the microbiological study. The THB load was higher in milk fish (Chanos chanos) (2.24 x 105 CFU/g) followed by Indian white prawn (Fenneropenaeus indicus) (3.16 x 105 CFU/g) than the Liza parsia (1.90 x 105 CFU/g) and Penaeus monodon (1.88 x 105 CFU/g). A total of 355 bacterial strains were isolated and identified, in which 64, 57, 51, 47, 44, 42, 21, 29, 355 strains were belongs to Pseudomonas spp., Aeromonas spp., Bacillus spp., Enterobacter spp., Vibrio spp., Flavobacterium spp., Alcaligenes spp. and Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Aeromonas spp., respectively. The present work showed that the Bacillus spp., were higher in the gut of fish and prawn samples studied. This work suggests that these bacteria can be effectively used as supplement in fish/prawn feed for commercial aquaculture or as probiotic to enhance the colonization in fish/prawn gut.
