Abstract

During the 6 months of vitellogenesis, 3-year-old female trout (Salmo gairdneri) were fed either an enriched (E) or an (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-deficient (D) diet; serum vitellogenin (VG) and lipoproteins (d<1.21 g/ml) were analyzed at the third month of vitellogenesis (September) and at ovulation (December). The serum content of high density lipoproteins (HDL), the major protein class, maintained a mean value of 1500 mg/dl at both stages and with both diets. On the contrary, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) were 90% higher during vitellogenesis than at spawning time, whereas excess vitellogenin circulated at this period (6580 mg/dl serum with diet E). The diet deficient in (n-3) lowered serum vitellogenin content by 16% in September and by 26% in December. The degree of (n-3) PUFA incorporation moderately decreased in low density lipoproteins (LDL) and in HDL with the (n-3)-deficient diet. The effect was more pronounced for 20∶5. On the other hand, essential 22∶6 was incorporated into vitellogenin at the same rate in September as in December with diet E (23% and 25%, respectively), whereas after a 3-month deficiency, the percentage fell to 12%; this percentage rose again to 19% at spawning time. These findings show that, although stored (n-3) PUFA were not exhausted after a 6-month dietary deficiency, the incorporation of essential fatty acids (EFA) into vitellogenin during the early stages of oogenesis was low, suggesting changes in egg composition that may influence hatching.
