Trypsin-chymotrypsin alternation and other digestive enzymes during the daily digestion in early Senegal sole juveniles

Trabajo presentado en el Aquaculture Europe 16 (Food for Thought), celebrado en Edimburgo del 20 al 23 de septiembre de 2016.The improvement of diets and the utilization of their nutrients by growing fish is a major challenge in fish farming. In vitro experiments with customized bioreactors simulating the digestion conditions are considered as an easy-working and quick methodology for improving feed formulation. Nevertheless, it is first necessary to define realistic digestion conditions according to the target species. In a first step to advance in the integral knowledge of the digestive function in Senegal sole (Solea senegalensis), we have analysed the activity pattern of some key digestive enzymes during a 24 hours period in early juveniles with different daily feeding frequencies.This research was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Competitiveness (MINECO) by project EFISHDIGEST (AGL2014-52888-R) with FEDER/ERDF contributioN
