카제인과 덱스트린 및 대두유와 어유의 혼합유를 주요 단백질과 탄수화물 및 지질원으로 구성한 전복용 배합사료에 다양한 microalgae (Haeatococccus, Isochrysis galbana, Shizochytrium)와 갑각류성 기원의 첨가제(krill meal, shrimp head meal, red crab meal) 및 녹차부산물을 각각 2% 첨가한 실험사료를 준비하여 16주간 전복에게 공급하여 주었다. 그리고 다시마를 공급한 실험구를 대조구로 두었다. 실험 종료시 전복의 생존율은 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 사료 첨가제를 첨가한 모든 실험사료에서 전복의 체중증가량은 다시마를 공급한 실험구에 비하여 유의적으로 우수하였다. 전복의 체중 증가량은 Spirulina, Shizochytrium 및 Isochrysis의 순으로 우수하였다. 전복의 체장 및 체중에 대한 가식부의 중량 비는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 그러나 체폭은 다시마를 공급한 실험구에 비하여 첨가제를 첨가한 모든 실험구에서 유의적으로 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 전복 패각의 색채 개선효과는 Spirulina 첨가구에서 가장 뚜렷하였다. 실험사료내 다양한 microalge와 갑각류성 기원의 사료첨가제는 전복의 성장을 효율적으로 개선시켰으며, 사료내 Spirulina의 첨가는 전복 패각 색채 개선에 가장 효과적이었다.
Effect of the various sources of dietary additives on growth, body composition and shell color of abalone Haliotis discus hannai was investigated for 16 weeks. Forty juvenile abalone averaging 13.5 g were randomly stocked into 21 of 50 L plastic rectangular containers each. Eight kinds of additives were prepared for this study: four commercially available microalgae [Haeatococcus (Hae), Isochrysis galbana (Iso), Shizochytrium (Sch) and Spirulina (Spi)], three crustacean meals [krill meal (KM), shrimp head meal (Shm) and red crab meal (Rcm)], and green tea by-product (Gre). In addition, dry sea tangle (Dst), Laminaria japonica, as a control, was prepared. Casein, dextrin and a mixture corn oil and fish oil was protein, carbohydrate and lipid sources, respectively, in the experimental diets. The 2% each additive was included into the experimental diets. The experimental diets were fed to abalone once a day at the ratio of $1.5{sim}2.0%$ total biomass of abalone with a little leftover throughout the 16-week feeding trial. Survival of abalone was not significantly (P>0.05) affected by the experimental diets. However, weight gain of abalone fed the all experimental diets containing the various sources of additives was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of abalone fed the Dst diet. Weight gain of abalone fed the Spi diet was highest and Shi, KM and Iso diets in order. Shell length and the ratio of soft body weight to body weight of abalone was not significantly (P>0.05) affected by the experimental diets. However, shell width of abalone fed the all experimental diets containing the various sources of additives was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of abalone fed the Dst diet. The shell color of abalone fed the Spi diet was improved the most distinctively and similar to that of natural abalone. Therefore, it can be concluded that the experimental diets with the various sources of additives (microalgae and crustacean meals) was effective to improve growth of abalone and dietary inclusion of Spirulina was most effective to improve shell color of abalone.
