Abstract

The dietary copper requirement of rice field eel (Monopterus albus) and the accumulation rule of copper in rice field eel tissues were investigated in this experiment, which provided the basis for the dietary copper level and the food safety of rice field eel. In the present experiment, chalcanthite was used as the copper source, and 0, 10.0, 36.8, 135.7 and 500.0 mg/kg copper were added to basal diet in the form of equal logarithmic interval, respectively. The measured values of copper level in the five diets were 14.21, 23.95, 37.01, 135.63 and 499.63 mg/kg, respectively. The growth indexes, morphological parameters, body composition, tissue copper accumulation amount and serum biochemical indexes of rice field eel with the initial body weight of (62.09±1.07) g were measured after feeding for 60 days under the same aquaculture conditions. Each diet fed to 4 culture nets with 30 rice field eels in each culture net. The results showed as follows:with the dietary copper level increasing, the weight gain rate (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR) of rice field eel increased firstly and then decreased, while the feed conversion rate (FCR) decreased firstly and then increased. When the dietary copper level was 37.01 mg/kg, the WGR, SGR and FCR were the best. Dietary copper level had significant effects on the copper accumulation amount in the whole fish, liver, intestine, spleen and skin (P<0.05), but had no significant difference effects on the copper accumulation amount in the muscle and kidney (P>0.05), and the muscle copper accumulation amount in each group remained at a low level. The copper accumulation amount in different tissues was in order as follows:liver>intestine>spleen>whole fish>skin, among which the 499.63 mg/kg copper group exceeded the national safety limit of copper in food (50 mg/kg). Dietary copper level had no significant effects on the serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and lysozyme (LZM) activities (P>0.05). With the dietary copper level increasing, the activities of alanine aminotransferase (GPT), copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in serum of rice field eel increased firstly and then maintain stable. The serum GPT activity in 135.63 and 499.63 mg/kg copper groups was significantly higher than that in 14.21, 23.95 and 37.01 mg/kg copper groups (P<0.05), and the serum Cu-Zn SOD activity and T-AOC in 37.01, 135.63 and 499.63 mg/kg copper groups was significantly higher than that in 14.21 and 23.95 mg/kg copper groups (P<0.05). In conclusion, feeding appropriate copper level diet can improve the body antioxidant ability of rice field eel, and insufficient or excessive copper will reduce the growth performance of rice field eel. Copper is mainly accumulated in liver and intestine. Feeding high-copper diet will lead to copper accumulation exceed standard in liver, and there is a risk of liver injury of rice field eel, which has no obvious impact on food safety of its muscle. Using FCR and WGR as evaluation indexes, the copper requirement of 60 to 95 g rice field eel is 44.29 to 45.84 mg/kg.
