相同养殖条件下青、红刺参体壁营养成分的比较研究

研究同一养殖池塘内青、红刺参(Apostichopus japonicus)体壁的营养组成与含量。结果表明:青刺参和红刺参体壁中水分含量、出皮率和干品灰分含量差异显著(P<0.05),粗蛋白、总糖分和粗脂肪含量差异不显著(P>0.05)。青、红刺参体壁均含有18种氨基酸,各种氨基酸含量无显著差异(P>0.05)。在检出的10种主要脂肪酸中,青刺参体壁中MUFA-16∶1(十六碳烯酸)和SFA-20∶0(二十碳酸)的含量显著高于红刺参(P<0.05),AA(二十碳四烯酸)的含量显著低于红刺参(P<0.05)。青、红刺参体壁均含有VB1、VB2、VB3、VB9、VB12、VC和VE等7种维生素,红刺参的VB3含量显著高于青刺参(P<0.05)。红刺参类胡萝卜素总量显著高于青刺参(P<0.05)。在检测的微量元素中,红刺参Zn、Cu和Se含量均显著高于青刺参(P<0.05)。研究表明,红刺参的综合营养品质优于青刺参。     

Effects of water depth and substrate color on the growth and body color of the red sea cucumber,Apostichopus japonicus

Three color variants of the sea cucumber,Apostichopus japonicus are recognized,the red one is highly valued in the market. When the red variant is cultured in ponds in China,its body color changes from red to celadon in 3–6 months. The effects of water depth and substrate color on the growth and body color of this animal were investigated. Juveniles of red A. japonicus were cultured in cages suspended at a range of water depths(20,50,100,150 and 200 cm). The specific growth rate of red sea cucumbers was significantly higher in animals cultured at deeper water layers compared with those grown at shallowers. Body weights were greatest for sea cucumbers cultured at a depth of 150 cm and their survival rates were highest at a depth of 200 cm. A scale to evaluate the color of red sea cucumbers(R value) was developed using a Pantone standard color card. All stocked animals in the 9-month trial retained a red color,however the red body color was much more intense in sea cucumbers cultured at shallower depths,while animals suspended in deeper layers became pale. In a separate trial,A. japonicus were cultured in suspended cages with seven different colored substrates. Substrate color had a significant effect on the growth and body-color of red A. japonicus. The yield were greatest for A. japonicus cultured on a yellow substrate,followed by green white orange red black and blue. All sea cucumbers in the 7-month trial retained a red color,although the red was most intense(highest R value) in animals cultured on a blue substrate and pale(lowest R value) for animals cultured on a green substrate.
