동결건조한 Isochrysis aff, galbana를 이용한 굴 유생사육에 관한 연구

Dietary Evaluation of the Freeze-Dried Alga Isochrysis aff. galbana for Larval Surrival of the Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas

패류 인공종묘생산시 양질의 먹이를 원활하게 공급하기 위하여 장기간 보관이 가능한 건조먹이를 생산하여, 굴 유생을 대상으로 이용 가능성을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 건조먹이의 생화학성분과 지방산 조성을 분석한 결과, 생화학성분 조성은 생먹이 및 농축먹이와 차이가 없었다. 지방산 조성은 건조먹이가 생먹이보다 PUFA DHA 및 EPA의 비율이 높았으며 (p<0.05) 특히 EPA는 생먹이보다 7.35배 높았다. 농축먹이에 건조먹이를 비율별로 혼합하여 굴 유생을 15일간 사육한 후 유생의 생존율과 지질 함량을 분석한 결과, 건조먹이를 $30\%$까지 혼합하여 사용하여도 생먹이만을 공급한 것보다 굴 유생의 생존율이 향상되었으며, 그중 건조먹이를 $10\%$ 혼합하여 사육하면 생먹이만으로 사육한 것보다 생존율이 2.1배 향상되었다(p<0.05) 15일째 굴 유생의 지질 함량은 건조먹이를 $10\%$ 혼합하여 사육한 경우 생먹이만을 공급한 것보다 약 1.6배 높았다. 따라서 패류의 종묘를 생산하지 않는 시기에 먹이생물을 배양하여 건조먹이 형태로 보관하여 두었다가, 농축먹이와 혼합하여 사용한다면, 보다 간편하게 먹이를 공급할 수도 있으며 아울러 유생의 생존율도 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

To investigate an efficient microalgal feed for lariat culture of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, we prepared three types of Isochrysis aff, galbana (T-iso) : 1) freshly Harvested feed, 2) concentrated feed and 3) freeze-dried feed. The chemical compositions and fatty acid content of these feeds were evaluated and survival rate and lipid content of oyster larvae fed by these feeds were also determined. There was no significant difference in all types of feed in the gross biochemical compositions, In the fatty acid composition, the freeze-dried feed showed a significant increase in the level of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) than freshly Harvested feed, especially EPA was 7.35-fold higher than freshly Harvested feed. The survival rate of the oyster larvae was the highest when the larvae were fed with a diet of $10\%$ freeze-dried and $90\%$ concentrated feed; it was 2.1-fold higher than that fed with freshly Harvested food alone. Thereafter, the survival rate decreased with the increased substitutions of freeze-dried food, finally equalling that fed $100\%$ freshly harvested feed at the $30\%$ substitution. Larval lipid content of the oyster was also the highest when the larvae were fed with a diet of $10\%$ freeze-dried and $90\%$ concentrated feed. This increase was by 1.6-fold ver that fed $100\%$ freshly Harvested cells. Thus feed produced during slack times, on a seedling aquaculture farm, and preparedas a freeze-dried diet can be used, mixed with concentrated feed, to supply diets more efficiently and to improve the larvae survival rate of Pacific oyster.
