Enrichment of rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) with taurine-filled liposomes and taurine-uptake in Ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) larvae
Taurine has been reported as a conditionally essential nutrient for several marine fish. Ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) has become an important species for the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) industry in Norway. Rotifers are used as start-feed in the intensive production, however taurine concentratio...

Taurine has been reported as a conditionally essential nutrient for several marine fish. Ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) has become an important species for the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) industry in Norway. Rotifers are used as start-feed in the intensive production, however taurine concentration has been shown to be nearly absent in conventionally enriched rotifers. As the Ballan wrasse is adapted zooplankton as feed in their larval stages, the taurine concentration found in zooplankton, which is much higher than in rotifers, is assumed closer to the optimum for Ballan wrasse larvae. Therefore, Ballan wrasse is hypothesized to receive too low taurine levels in intensive production. Liposomes have been used to elevate the concentrations of water-soluble substances, such as taurine in rotifers. Ballan wrasse larvae fed taurine-supplemented rotifers contained significantly higher taurine concentrations than larvae fed both conventionally enriched rotifers, and rotifers enriched with saline water-filled liposomes.
