It is concluded that the addition of around 45.0 g kg−1 of soybean oil to the finisher diet of Nile tilapia provides better growth performance. Animals fed the diet, used the nutrients to produce recommended PUFA/SFA values. Dietary supplementation was also effective at improving the nutrition values of the meat.

Introduction

US

In aquaculture one of the most prominently farmed species is the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), this can be attributed to the rapid growth, hardiness, large fillet yield, absence of

AN

intramuscular bones, and excellent acceptance by the consumer market [30]. The tropical fish most farmed in the world [51] and it still growing [22, 23, 24] it is estimated that the production of

M

tilapia will reach approximately 6.6 million tons by 2030 [51].

ED

Fish, in general, have excellent nutritional properties, with balanced protein compositions, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Another benefit of fish is the ability to improve the nutritional quality of the meat through supplementation with different additions of fatty acids and

PT

vitamins sources in the diet [44, 19, 56].

There are many components in fish diets with the lipids being considered as an essential

CE

energy source that can significantly influence feed conversion and fish growth [57]. In intensive fish farming, high levels of fat sources in the diet are used in order to meet the fish’s energy

AC

requirements; this is done to prevent the breakdown of protein to be used as an energy source in the body [25]. However, excessive energy supply can influence the animal’s metabolism and cause adverse effects on growth, carcass composition with undesirable fat accumulation in the viscera and abdominal cavity. As well as reducing the percentage of fillet yield and the commercial value of the fish, it has been shown that the tissue lipid composition reflects the feed and can be changed by the manipulation of the diet [35, 60, 54]. Vegetable oils are regarded as valuable energy sources for tropical fish, because they are easily found on the market, and are used according to their availability and cost of the raw

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT materials in each region. Soybean oil is more frequently used due to its low cost when compared to other energy sources, and its overall composition meets the animal’s nutritional demands [33]. Soybean oil has an apparent digestibility of 89.85% and 8,485 kcal kg −1 of digestible energy, demonstrating that this nutrient is well used by the species O. niloticus [8]. Some studies have evaluated the inclusion of soybean oil in diets of Nile tilapia showing good results in the literature. The addition of 5.9% of soybean oil in the diet increases the carcass

T

and fillet yields of the tilapia [10, 43]. However, few studies have evaluated the inclusion of

IP

soybean oil in the finisher phase diets of tilapia.

CR

The inclusion of lipids in fish feed might be a potential mechanism to reduce protein levels and commercial cost in tilapia diets if an appropriate level is identified [31]. Due to the small

US

number of studies on the inclusion of soybean oil in the finisher diets of tilapia, this study aimed to evaluate varying levels of soybean oil in the diet of Nile tilapia and to evaluate its effects on

This study was conducted at the Instituto de Pesquisa em Piscicultura Ambiental (InPAA), at Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná campus Toledo-PR, Brazil, and it was approved by the

CE

ethics committee for animals use in CEUA at the same institution under protocol No. 36/14. The experiment was conducted for 50 days, in which 270 Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) with an initial average weight of 425.33 ± 32.37 g and 25.53 ± 2.00 cm of length were randomly distributed in 15

tanks with dimensions 2.0x6.0x0.6 m, with a capacity of 7.2 m3. The fish were fed until apparent satiation, twice a day during the finishing phase. A completely randomized design was used with five treatments and three replications. The treatments consisted of soybean oil inclusion in the diet a (0.0; 15.0; 30.0; 45.0 and 60.0 g kg−1). The diets (Table 1 and Table 2) were formulated to contain around 303.80 g kg −1 of crude protein and from 12.92 to 14.34 MJ kg−1 of digestible energy, with estimated values based on the suggested values for Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) by the [48]. The increase in soybean oil content was made at the expense of cornmeal in the diets. The addition of vitamins and minerals occurred

The highest crude protein content in fillets was observed in the treatment without oil inclusion. For crude fat, there was a lower value for the control treatment and the 15.0 kg −1 of soybean oil inclusion. However, the other treatments had higher crude fat values. Fatty acid compositions of the tilapia fillets are summarized in Table 6. A total of 22 fatty

Discussion

For fish, as well as tilapia, lipids perform essential functions in growth, feed efficiency, healthiness, kidney and gill function, neural and visual development, reproduction, and fillet quality [38]. Vegetable oils are easily found on the market and are important sources of lipids and energy for tropical fish and can be used depending on cost and availability [58]. No fish mortality was observed during the experimental period. [8] conducted a study evaluating different levels of energy and soybean oil inclusion in diets for tilapia also found no

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT effect of diets on the animal’s survival. The animals in the current study showed no mortality because they were well nourished and were raised in an adequate environment for their normal development. The quadratic effect observed for daily weight gain demonstrated an optimal level of soybean oil inclusion in the diet at 46.30 g kg−1, corresponding to a weight gain of 4.20 g day−1 and a total weight gain of 210 g. The lowest diet cost rate was observed to be at the inclusion of 36.90

T

g kg−1. Weight gain showed a quadratic effect with optimal growth occurring with the addition of

IP

54.36 kg−1 g of soybean oil in the diet.

CR

[55] found that the inclusion of oil above the diet needs of the animals caused a reduction in the rate of enzymatic reactions and specific activity of the catalytic efficiency of glucose

US

6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the liver of trout. This may explain the decline in growth with the excessive oil level in the diet observed in the current paper.

AN

The feed conversion rate of diets with the high content of soybean oil was similar between treatments, showing that the energy level of the different diet did not influence the feed utilization

M

of the animals. [42] observed feed conversion values of 1.69 for fingerlings Nile tilapia in diets supplemented with 3 and 4.8% of fat. In the present study, the feed conversion rate was superior

ED

due to the animal breeding phase being different. It is known that feed conversion increases with the increasing weight of the animal, namely in the early stages, so it is natural that the feed

PT

conversion is higher in the final stages of farming. The diets evaluated in the current study were in a relationship between digestible protein

CE

and digestible energy between 18.27 and 20.28 mg DP kJ−1, and the best ratio of digestible protein to digestible energy was observed to be 18.77 mg DP kJ−1 with the inclusion of around 45.0 g kg 1

AC

of soybean oil addition. While [10] found an ideal ratio of digestible protein and digestible energy to be 20.45 mg DP kJ−1 for tilapia larvae in the sexual reversion phase. It is essential to consider the protein to energy ratio for a good development of fish, taking into account the impacts of the management and environment [9]. The utilization of an adequate level of oil in feeds for fish brings an opportunity for lower production cost as shown in the diet cost rate in the present study. The highest carcass yield was observed for the inclusion of 37.60 g kg −1 of soybean oil in the diet when using quadratic regression analysis (Table 3). Even though tilapia is a species that is good at utilizing carbohydrates, apparently there was an excess of starch, causing an increase in fat in the abdominal cavity. The diet without soybean oil inclusion provided an increase in the visceral

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT fat deposition; this diet contained the highest starch content. Starch may have influenced visceral fat, as increased oil content and decreased starch in the diet resulted in lower fish visceral fat. The higher proportion of carbohydrates may explain increased visceral fat deposition. According to the [48], the body fat deposition content in fish can increase when the diet is formulated with starch above the capacity of utilization as an energy source. However, for this phase of development, with a fully functional digestive tract, there is insufficient information

T

about starch inclusion limit in diets for tilapia.

IP

When it comes to other species, such as mammals, the mechanisms that are potentially

CR

responsible for the lower body fat deposition are the reduction of energy consumption by suppressing appetite and increasing energy expenditure in muscles by lipolysis [36]. Although the

US

fish mechanisms are not clearly understood, they are probably related to the inhibition of lipids absorption and even lipid oxidation [40].

AN

According to the quadratic regression equation for the hepatosomatic index, the lowest value was estimated to be at 30.41 g kg−1 of soybean oil inclusion. In a study by [37], evaluating

M

the interaction between crude fiber and soybean oil in diets for tilapia, the authors observed an increase in the hepatosomatic index, which was also observed by [3]. The hepatosomatic index is

ED

directly linked to glycogen accumulation in the liver and consequently causes an increase in liver weights [16, 45]. Therefore, in the present paper, the diet with the higher content of starch

PT

demonstrated a higher hepatosomatic index, results similar observed by [6] in their study with hybrid catfish, using similar content of starch in its diets. This fact, is most likely related to

CE

increased starch metabolism, through glycogenesis catalyzed by glycogen synthase [48] and glycogen deposition in the liver [28, 6, 64].

AC

The inclusion of soybean oil in the diet had no effect ( P > 0.05 ) on the glucose, total serum proteins, hemoglobin, erythrocyte, and hematocrit of the blood. Evaluating the interaction of the inclusion of 0 to 6% sunflower oil and linseed in diets for tilapia raised in reduced temperatures, [2] observed reductions in erythrocyte levels (2.02 to 1.76) in fish fed 4% of sunflower oil and 2% of flaxseed oil and 3.82 to 3.05 of total protein in fish fed 6% flaxseed oil. The authors concluded that diets with a low proportion of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids lead to a reduction in blood profile when the animals are submitted to a thermal challenge. According to the quadratic regression equation, the lowest plasma cholesterol level was observed with the addition of 8.30 kg−1 g of soybean oil inclusion, indicating an upward trend for

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT cholesterol as soybean oil inclusion is increased in the diet. This fact is possibly correlated with the characteristic of a body’s cholesterol retention and cholesterol being a precursor of bile salts necessary for the digestion of ingested lipids [46]. The total plasma cholesterol content may be regarded as indicative of the health of fish, when tilapia are kept in unhealthy environments reductions in plasma cholesterol levels have been observed [63]. [4] found a mean value of 120 mg dL−1 for plasma cholesterol, evaluating the

T

interaction of soybean oil and palm oil, as a lipid source, when feeding palm meal to tilapia. [52]

IP

observed that the use of vegetable oils in diets for Acanthopagrus schlegeli contributes to lowered

CR

plasma cholesterol. According to [62], excessive intake of feeds rich in fat content and cholesterol may increase its concentration in the blood. However, it is noteworthy that this molecule is a

US

precursor of hormones such as sterol hormones, which are responsible for the growth of fish, and vitamins needed for vital processes of reproduction and maintenance of health. Nevertheless, there

AN

is no consensus on cholesterol levels, and comparisons are often made with different diets and rearing systems, mainly when energy sources are used in the diet [47]. However, in this study, the

M

total plasma cholesterol contents are in agreement with those proposed by [32] for tilapia in intensive systems.

ED

The triglyceride levels show statistical differences ( P < 0.05 ) between the diets used. Similar results were observed by [20] as they studied the effect of lipid levels on growth and body

PT

composition of juvenile grass carp. Their work showed a linear increase in triglyceride content as the lipid content was increased in the feed. In our study, it is important to note that the increase of

CE

total cholesterol and total triglycerides according to the increased inclusion of soybean oil does not adversely influence the visceral fat deposition since there was a reduction of fat deposited in the

AC

viscera with the increasing inclusion of oil. In the analysis of the chemical composition of the tilapia fillets, the crude protein content the fillets found in this study was similar to those reported by [5], which evaluated the effect of the inclusion of palm oil sources for Oreochromis sp., obtaining results from 16.9 to 17, 9%. Similar results were also observed by [25], who evaluated the influence of inclusion of different fat sources (soybean oil, corn oil, linseed oil, fish oil and olive oil) on muscle composition and concentration of plasma lipoproteins for O. niloticus, obtaining crude protein values from 16.28 to 18.27%. The values vary according to the inclusion of oils. Animals fed with diets isonitrogenous, isocaloric, and with no changes in lipid levels

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT usually do not differ in the basic chemical composition [41]. However, [26] stated that the variation in chemical composition of fish might occur due to endogenous and exogenous factors such as genetics, size, sex, reproductive stage, environmental factors, temperature and season, in addition to nutrient intake. In addition, there may be a higher concentration of fat/protein in different parts of the body, in order to eliminate this factor, the fish fillets were ground and homogenized for chemical analysis in the present study.

T

Lipid nutrition is directly related to the quality of fish fillet [34], which influences the

IP

commercial value of the fish. Generally, in older fish, there is greater fat deposition compared to

CR

young fish [49], this is due to the younger fish having a higher growth rate in which dietary energy and protein is used for growth rather than storage for energy reserves [15]. Evaluating the effect of

US

soybean oil to fish oil ratio in Acanthopagrus schlegeli diets, [52] observed differences in the lipid composition of the fillets and found that soybean oil positively influences the deposition of

AN

intramuscular fat as well as decreases intraperitoneal fat deposition. Production of high-quality meat products has been a big focus lately [18]. Optimal finisher

M

diet formulations not only provide good feed efficiency and growth rate, they reduce costs, and also affect the carcass and fillet quality. The composition of the diets in this study had a direct

ED

effect (Table 6 and Figure 2a and 2b) on fillet composition and fatty acid composition. Nile tilapia metabolism requires n-6 fatty acids in their diets to maximize development. They also tend to store

PT

large amounts of these compounds in their musculature [29, 25], this propriety can be used to produce healthier products for human consumption [61].

CE

The increase of long-chain polyunsaturated essential fatty acid levels, (20:5-n3 (EPA) and (22:6-n3 (DHA)), may be attributed to the concentration  -linolenic acid in, a precursor of the

AC

n-3 fatty acid series, in the diets. [12], studied the inclusion of  -linolenic acid in the nutrition of Nile tilapia. They attribute the increase of DHA to the bioconversion of  -linolenic acid, as a substrate, of the  -6/-5 desaturases and elongase enzymes in the metabolism of Nile tilapia. Also, [44] attributed the increase of PUFAs in carcasses to the antioxidant activity of vitamin E concentrations incorporated in diets. The diets evaluated in our current work have higher levels of soybean oil that contains a great quantity of vitamin E and PUFAs [13], this can provide greater nutritional values to the fillets. All fillets in this study showed higher PFUA to SFA ratios than the recommended minimum by the Department of Health and Social Security [17].

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 5.

Conclusion

It is concluded that diets with soybean oil inclusion around 45.0 g kg −1, provide better growth performance of tilapia during the finishing phase. Dietary supplementation of soybean oil was effective at improving nutrition values of the meat of tilapia as well as achieving above the recommended PUFA to SFA ratio values described by the Department of Health and Social
