Yeast represents a sustainable protein alternative to fishmeal in diets for farmed fish, although more than 40% replacement has been shown to reduce fish growth and welfare. This thesis investigated the effects of feeding high inclusions of inactivated and live yeasts to fish in order to replace fishmeal without negative health consequences. The specific focus was on red blood cell characteristics, plasma amino acid uptake, gut microbial communities and stress/immune responses of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

Post-prandial blood samples were collected from dorsal aorta-cannulated rainbow trout fed diets in which 60% fishmeal protein was replaced with two yeast species, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Wickerhamomyces anomalus, inactivated by heat extrusion. Blood analysis showed that feeding both yeasts resulted in higher blood pH and haemoglobin levels, which were associated with lower buffering capacity of yeast and possible haemolytic anaemia from metabolism of high levels of nucleic acid. Plasma analysis revealed that amino acid uptake was similar in fish fed both yeasts and fishmeal, except for higher methionine in fish fed yeasts attributed to higher supplementation. In a later study, fish were fed live S. cerevisiae and reared at 11 and 18°C. No adverse effects on blood physiology were found, although most cells survived digestion and were not metabolised. These results indicate that reduced growth in fish fed yeast may not be due to lower amino acid content, but rather to metabolism of high levels of nucleic acid leading to impaired red blood cell function.

 Journal of Blood Research & Hematologic Diseases is using Editorial Tracking System for quality in the review process. Editorial Tracking is an online manuscript submission, review and tracking systems used by most of the best open access journals. Review processing is performed by the editorial board members and Diagnosis or outside experts; at least two independent reviewers approval followed by editor's approval is required for acceptance of any citable manuscript.
