Abstract: | Circulating insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I has been proposed as a growth index in several teleosts, including salmonids, and its level in circulation is stabilized by multiple IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). Three IGFBPs, IGFBP-2b,-1a, and-1b, are consistently detected in salmonid blood and are suggested to be indices of positive or negative growth, although their applicability to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is unclear. The present study examined the usefulness of IGFBPs along with IGF-I as a physiological indicator of growth rate in rainbow trout through a rearing experiment. Two groups of underyearling rainbow trout were pit-tagged and either fed or fasted for 33 days. A third group was fasted for 22 days, followed by refeeding for 11 days. Serum IGF-I levels were reduced after fasting for 22 days, but refeeding did not retore its levels to those of the fed control. Nevertheless, there was a positive relationship between serum IGF-I levels and individual growth rates over 33 days of experimentation, confirming its validity as a growth index. Ligand blotting using labeled human IGF-I revealed two IGFBP bands at 43 and 32 kDa, which corresponded to IGFBP-2b and an unidentified form, respectively. In contrast, bands corresponding to IGFBP-1a and-1b, which usually increase after fasting, were hardly detected, even in the fasted fish. The responses of circulating IGFBP-2b to fasting and refeeding were similar to those of circulating IGF-I and positively correlated with growth rate and IGF-I levels. The intensity of the serum 32-kDa IGFBP band was higher in constantly fed fish than in the fasted fish; however, its correlation with growth rate was weaker than those of IGF-I and IGFBP-2b. The present study shows that IGF-I and IGFBP-2b can be used as growth indices for rainbow trout. In contrast, circulating IGFBP-1a and-1b may not serve as negative growth indices in rainbow trout under regular aquaculture conditions because they are rarely detected by ligand blotting or respond to fasting/refeeding. |
