Aquaculture is an industry with high economic value.However,in the process of aquaculture,many environmental factors and nutritional conditions often affect the growth and health of aquatic animals.Ecdyone,as a bioactive substance,has been widely used in the growth and development of insects and other arthropods,but there is still little research in the field of aquaculture.The following will review the application and effect of ecdysterone in aquaculture,let’s take a look.
First,the application of ecdysterone in aquaculture
Ecdysterone is mainly used in aquaculture to promote the growth and immune stress response of aquatic animals.This bioactive substance can stimulate the immune system of aquatic animals,enhance immunity,and improve the ability to resist disease.At the same time,ecdysterone can also promote the growth and development of aquatic animals,improve their growth rate and weight.
In the breeding process,adding an appropriate amount of ecdysterone to the feed is the main way to apply ecdysterone.By feeding feed with molting hormone on a regular basis,farmers can effectively improve the growth rate and immunity of aquatic animals,thereby reducing breeding costs and improving breeding benefits.
Second,the effect of ecdysterone in aquaculture
The effect of ecdysterone in aquaculture is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
1,promote growth:ecdysterone can stimulate the endocrine system of aquatic animals,regulate the secretion of growth hormone,thereby promoting the growth and development of aquatic animals.Studies have shown that the addition of ecdysterone can increase the growth rate of aquatic animals by more than 20%.
2,improve immunity:ecdysterone can stimulate the immune system of aquatic animals,improve the activity of immune cells and the expression of immune genes.Studies have shown that the addition of ecdysterone can significantly improve the immune indicators of aquatic animals,such as lysozyme activity and complement activity.
3,anti-adversity:ecdysterone can also improve the ability of aquatic animals to resist adversity,so that they can better adapt to the face of environmental pressure and disease-causing microorganisms.Studies have shown that the addition of ecdysterone can make aquatic animals show stronger adaptability in the face of environmental changes and the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms.
In summary,ecdysterone has a significant application effect in aquaculture.By adding appropriate amount of ecdysterone to feed,farmers can effectively improve the growth rate,immunity and anti-adversity ability of aquatic animals,so as to reduce the breeding cost and improve the breeding efficiency.
Note:The potential benefits and applications presented in this article are derived from the published literature.
