Dietary carbohydrate to lipid ratio affects growth, reproductive performance and health of female yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidragrus): A lipidomics analysis.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to examine the impact of dietary carbohydrate to lipid (CHO/L) ratio on the growth, reproductive, and offspring performance of broodstock yellow catfish, and to elucidate the metabolic differences between mothers and offspring using lipidomics. Five isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets with varying CHO/L ratios (0.65, 1.44, 2.11, 3.13, and 5.36) were fed to five groups of female broodfish with three replicates per group and 35 female broodfish per replocate in a pond-cage culture system. After an eight-week feeding trial, the dietary CHO/L ratio had a significant impact on the growth and reproductive performance of female yellow catfish. The weight gain ratio (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR) in the CHO/L0.65 and CHO/L2.11 groups were significantly higher than those in
