#Legumes in fish feed: Can anti-nutritional substances damage health? Seeds from soya peas lupins and other legumes are protein-rich feedstuffs
Salmon require overall less feed but the protein content of the feed must be maintained at a high level throughout their life cycle.
Legumes are therefore appropriate ingredients for fish feed too. They are easily available on the world market and reasonably priced.
But they contain a number of so-called anti-nutritional substances that are alien to salmon
and can have a negative effect on the growth and health of salmon. Elvis Chikwati's doctoral research has increased our knowledge about how ingredients in feed influence intestinal functioning and health
which will make it easier to increase production of salmon while at the same time maintaining good intestinal health.
When Chikwati began work on his Phd it was well known that the commonest and cheapest soya products result in enteritis in salmon.
His overall objective was to make it easier to use such ingredients in fish feed as he set out to find the answer to three questions:
What is the first thing that happens in the intestines of salmon when they are given feed containing soya?
The very first change that occurred during the first two days was that the fish ate less probably
How quickly are renewed intestinal mucosa in salmon and is affected this process by temperature and by soya in feed?
and up to the top is much slower in cold-blooded salmon than in warm-blooded animals. The renewal of intestinal cells only takes a few days in mammals
but takes several weeks in salmon. Furthermore the process was slower when the water around the salmon was 8 rather than 12 degrees.
The maturation of intestinal cells was delayed in fish that were given soya in their feed. The cells never reached full maturity.
When saponins were given to the fish together with broad beans sunflower meal rape and maize gluten meal they did not cause inflammation
but tended to reduce the fish's utilization of nutrients in the feed. Chikwati's studies show that other anti-nutritional agents from soya
Chikwati's research has increased our knowledge of the physiology of the salmon's intestines and the way they adapt to new ingredients in feed.
This knowledge will help us to reach our aim of increasing salmon production while at the same time safeguarding good intestinal health.

Researchers also found increased toenail arsenic in people who eat dark meat fish which include tuna steaks mackerel salmon sardines bluefish and swordfish.

but dark meat fish also contain arsenic compounds that can be metabolized. Story Source: The above story is provided based on materials by Dartmouth College.

We wanted to see the effect of the bitter melon extract treatment on different types of cancer using different model systems said Ray who first tested the extract in breast and prostate cancer cells.
In a controlled lab setting Ray found that bitter melon extract regulated several pathways that helped reduce the head and neck cancer cell growth in the animal model.
After a period of four weeks Ray found that the growth and volume of the tumor had reduced.
Ray who is originally from India often uses bitter melon in her meals. People in Asia use this vegetable in stir fries salads
Although more research is needed Ray believes the bitter melon extract may enhance the current treatment option.
but a combination of things--existing drug therapy along with bitter melon--may help the efficacy of the overall cancer treatment Ray said.

Different types of fruits and fish can often have substantial cross-reactivity meaning there may be several types that need to be avoided.

#For fish and rice to thrive in Yolo Bypass, just add waterfrom a fish-eye view rice fields in California's Yolo Bypass provide an all-you-can-eat bug buffet for juvenile salmon seeking nourishment on their journey to the sea.
That's according to a new report detailing the scientific findings of an experiment that planted fish in harvested rice fields earlier this year resulting in the fattest fastest-growing salmon on record in the state's rivers.
The report provided to the U s. Bureau of Reclamation describes three concurrent studies from researchers at the University of California Davis nonprofit California Trout and the California Department of Water Resources.
The scientists investigated whether rice fields on the floodplain of Yolo Bypass could be managed to help recover California's populations of Chinook salmon
and if so the ideal habitats and management approaches that could allow both fish and farms to thrive.
We're finding that land managers and regulatory agencies can use these agricultural fields to mimic natural processes said co-author Carson Jeffres field
Researchers found that the fish did not have a preference among the three rice field types tested:
The food supply was so plentiful that salmon had high growth rates across habitats and management methods.
All of those habitats are very productive for fish. The salmon did demonstrate a preference for habitats with better water flow.
Jeffres compared it to choosing among three good restaurants: Each offers good food with hearty portions
In this case the better water flow was the ambience the fish preferred. Among the key findings:
These results are good news for the effort to rebuild salmon populations in California said lead author Jacob Katz a biologist with California Trout.
when we mimic natural flood processes in agricultural fields we give these fish a food-rich habitat they recognize
and provides critical fish and wildlife habitat the report said. It is covered by floodway easement held by the state of California making other land uses subservient to flood control Agriculture is a major land use in the bypass with rice the primary crop.
More than 95 percent of Central Valley floodplain habitat that was used historically to rear juvenile Chinook salmon has been altered primarily diked
and the high growth rates associated with them during even a limited time may be critical in improving return rates for Central Valley salmon populations.

Our three compounds which we tested rigorously in the lab do not dissolve plastics Ray said.
Using novel chemical informatics strategies Ray's lab screened half a million compounds against the DEET receptor to identify substitutes.
All three compounds activated the same antennal cells in flies as DEET Ray said. What's really encouraging is that some of these compounds may be affordable to produce in large quantities.
With the help of UC Riverside's Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC) Ray is exploring options for commercializing the technology.
We think there is incredible potential for a start-up company to develop new repellents based on Dr. Ray's current research said Michael Pazzani the vice chancellor for research and economic development at UCR.
When commercialized the findings by Ray's team could have wide applications. Ir40a and its related proteins are conserved not only in flies
and plant pests Ray explained. Our findings could lead to a new generation of cheap affordable repellents that could protect humans animals and in the future our crops as well.
The three natural compounds identified by Ray's group that mimic DEET are methyl NN-dimethyl anthranilate ethyl anthranilate and butyl anthranilate.
