  3. Clinical Indicators – Blood Markers • High temperatures result in… • Elevated CK and LDH, indicating muscle degradation. • ALAT and GLDH elevation, indicating liver damage. • ALAT and GLDH also indicate increases in amino acid catabolism Glencross, B.D, Rutherford, N.R. 2010.

  4. What is bioenergetic modeling ? Energy Demand (kJ/fish/d) = M • Liveweight b + G • EnergyGain Growth Demands Maintenance Demands A thermally dependent coefficeint Allometric exponent Based on energy density (kJ) of fish growth Conversion efficiency Fish weight (kg)

  5. Three-dimensional data array Growth Demands Growth rate (g/d) Temperature (ºC) Fish weight (g/fish)

  10. Energy utilisation with temperature Growth Demands Maintenance Demands Utilisation at 29ºC Intake at maintenance (HEm) = intake @ 0 kJ gain Needs 1 / 0.576 energy = 1.74 x energy demand Glencross, B.D., Bermudes, M., (2011a).

  16. Dietary Strategies for Heat Stress So if thermal stress increases DP:DE demands we should be able to mitigate problems by using higher protein lower lipid diets ? Simple Experiment ?

  17. Dietary Strategies for Heat Stress Pro = 60% protein, 14% lipid Ref = 50% protein, 18% lipid a a • Poorer growth at high temperatures can alleviated by… • Higher protein : energy ratio • Feed efficiency (FCR) changes more with lower protein Glencross, B.D, Rutherford, N.R. 2010. Dietary strategies to reduce the impact of temperature stress on barramundi (Lates calcarifer) growth. Aquaculture Nutrition 16, 343-350.

  18. Clinical Indicators – Blood Chemistry Pro = 60% protein, 14% lipid Ref = 50% protein, 18% lipid • High temperatures result in… • Elevated CK and LDH, indicating muscle degradation. • ALAT and GDH elevation, indicating liver damage. Glencross, B.D, Rutherford, N.R. 2010. Dietary strategies to reduce the impact of temperature stress on barramundi (Lates calcarifer) growth. Aquaculture Nutrition 16, 343-350.

  19. High Temperature Diets Summary • Optimal growth of barramundi between 29ºC and 32ºC • High water temperatures cause a breakdown in the animals ability to effectively use protein • Increased rate of protein losses • Reduction in utilisation efficiency • The bigger the fish the more susceptible they are • At high water temperatures there are potential dietary strategies of benefit: • Increasing the DP:DE ratio helps maintain performance at 37ºC relative to that at 30ºC • Use of sub-clinical measures, such as plasma enzymes, shows that at 37ºC there is the onset of both muscle and liver damage occurring

  20. So what can we learn from this ?
