| Abstract: | The effect of dietary phosphorus on the growth and body components of juvenile Synechogobius hasta was determined. Different percentages of dietary phosphorus (0.63, 0.77, 0.93, 1.06, 1.22 and 1.36) were tested by feeding
the fish (body weight, 15.81 g ± 0.32 g; 20 individuals each group; 3 groups each percentage) at a surplus of 5%–10% above
satiation for 35 d. Dietary phosphorus did not significantly affect the specific growth rate, feed intake, feed conversion
ratio and protein efficiency rate. Nitrogen retention was found to be the highest in fish fed the diet containing 1.06% of
phosphorus; however, this was not significantly different from other diets. Fish fed the diet containing 0.93% of phosphorus
showed the highest phosphorus retention; similar phosphorus retention rates were found in fish fed the diets containing 0.77%
and 1.06% of phosphorus. Fish fed the diet containing the highest percentage of dietary phosphorus were found to contain the
least whole body lipid, lower than fish fed other diets (P<0.05). The protein content increased from 18.59% to 19.55% (although not significant) with the decrease of body lipid content
(P>0.05). The contents of the whole body ash, whole body phosphorus and vertebrae phosphorus increased with dietary phosphorus
percentage up to 1.06 (P<0.05), reaching a plateau after that. Dietary phosphorus did not significantly influence the muscle components (protein,
lipid and moisture). Condition factor and hepatosomatic index were the highest in fish fed the diet containing 0.63% of dietary
phosphorus; however, this was not significantly different from those of other diets. The second-order polynomial regression
of phosphorus retention against dietary phosphorus identified a breakpoint at 0.88% of dietary phosphorus. However, the dietary
requirement of phosphorus for maintaining maximum phosphorus storage determined by broken-line analysis of the contents of
whole body phosphorus, and ash and vertebrae phosphorus was 1.06% of the diet. |
