The study was 5 complemented by the moisture, trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) and trace mineral 6 determinations. Farmed fish muscle showed higher lipid and triglyceride contents, but 7 lower values for moisture, TMAO and α-tocopherol than its counterpart wild fish; no 8 differences could be observed between both kinds of fish for the phospholipid, sterol 9 and free fatty acid content. When compared to wild fish, a higher saturated (SFA), 10 monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acid content was obtained 11 in farmed fish, while lower values could be observed for the ω3/ ω6 and 22:6 ω3/ 20:5 12 ω3 fatty acid ratios. Most minerals analysed (Cu, Fe, Mn, Se and Zn) showed higher 13 mean values in farmed fish muscle, except for Ca and Mg that provided higher mean 14 contents in wild fish. Concerning muscle sites comparison, greater SFA, MUFA and 15 PUFA contents could be detected in the dorsal zone than in the two other locations both 16 for farmed and wild fish, according to a higher mean lipid content found in this site. 17 Finally, the tail zone showed higher TMAO values than the two other locations. 18 19 20 Running Title: Lipid and mineral distribution in blackspot seabream 21 Keywords: Blackspot seabream, muscle zones, farmed, wild, lipid classes, fatty acids, 22 trimethylamine oxide, minerals 2 1 1. INTRODUCTION 2 3 Marine species include relevant contents of different constituents such as 4 nutritional and digestible proteins, lipid-soluble vitamins, microelements, non-protein 5 nitrogen compounds and highly unsaturated fatty acids [1-3]. Most of these constituents 6 have shown to support an important role both in human diet and in quality changes 7 developed during processing and storage of the corresponding seafood product. Among 8 such constituents, the lipid fraction is now the subject of a great deal of attention due to 9 its high content on ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which has shown potential 10 benefits to human health [4, 5] and negative effects on quality changes during the 11 technological treatment [6]. 12 Fish constituents have often been shown to be inhomogeneously distributed 13 along the body of a fish, probably affected by physiological and anatomical factors [7]. 14 In this sense, the lipid matter has been recognised as the most highly affected, showing 15 wide differences in its content distribution in fatty [8, 9] and lean [10, 11] fish, 16 depending on the tissue considered. Further, fatty fish studies have reported notorious 17 differences concerning the lipid damages of different zones during processing [9, 12- 18 13]. 19 In recent years, the fishing sector has suffered from dwindling stocks of 20 traditional species as a result of marked changes in their availability. This has prompted 21 fish technologists and the fish trade to pay more attention to aquaculture techniques as a 22 source of fish and other aquatic food products. Fish farming offers the possibility to 23 control the quality of the entire productions processes, being one of the most important 24 objectives to obtain a final product with sensory and nutritional quality attributes as 25 close as possible to those of wild fish [14-16]. 3 1 One of such fish species is blackspot seabream (Pagellus bogaraveo). This high 2 value commercial species has long attracted a great interest because of its firm and 3 flavourful flesh, so that remarkable efforts have recently been focused on its 4 commercialisation as a farmed product [17]. Thus, most research concerning its 5 aquaculture production has been carried out on farming conditions [18] and genetic 6 differences [19]. However, previous information concerning its composition [20] and 7 chemical changes during processing [21] can be considered scarce. 8 The present work was focused on the lipid composition of blackspot seabream. 9 Its objective was to identify elements of differentiation that characterise wild and 10 farmed fish. Such differentiation is considered important if cultured blackspot seabream 11 is to be used as a replacement for the wild one in the seafood European marketing 12 system. In addition, this study was addressed to different edible sites of the fish body 13 and was complemented by the moisture, trimethylamine oxide and trace mineral 14 assessments. 15 16 17 2. MATERIALS AND METHODS 18 19 2.1. Fish material and sampling 20 Farmed blackspot seabream specimens (12 individuals; 0.65-0.85 kg weight; 32- 21 35 cm length) were obtained from a local aquaculture facility (La Coruña, Spain). Fish 22 were cultivated in a single tank by employing a sand-bed-filtered seawater (salinity 23 range 3.2-3.4 g/ 100 g). Feeding was carried out to satiety by employing the following 24 commercial diet: moisture (9.5%), protein (44.5%), fat (13.5%), carbohydrate (23.5%) 25 and ash (9.0%). Fish specimens were sacrificed in a water-ice mixture in the 4 1 aquaculture facility and then kept in ice for 10 h until they arrived at the laboratory. The 2 fish were distributed into six groups (two individuals per group). Each group was 3 studied independently in order to carry out the statistical analysis (n = 6). 4 Wild blackspot seabream (12 individuals; 0.65-0.80 kg weight; 34-37 cm length) 5 were caught near the Galician Atlantic coast and obtained in a local market 10 h after 6 being caught. From catching till arrival to laboratory the fish were kept in ice. The fish 7 were distributed into six groups (two individuals per group). Each group was studied 8 independently in order to carry out the statistical analysis (n = 6). 9 In all cases, individual gonads were at the 5th/6th stage of Maier’s scale of gonad 10 maturity. Both for farmed and wild fish groups, the white muscle of three different 11 zones (ventral, dorsal and tail; Figure 1) was considered, carefully separated and studied 12 independently in each fish group. The absence of bones, blood and dark muscle was 13 verified. Chemical analyses were carried out separately on each of the selected zones. 14 15 All solvents and chemical reagents used in the experiments were reagent grade (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). 16 17 2.2. Chemical analyses 18 Moisture content was determined by weight difference of the homogenised 19 muscle (1-2 g) before and after 4 h at 105 ºC; the results were calculated as g water/ 100 20 g muscle. 21 22 The lipid fraction was extracted by the Bligh and Dyer [22] method. Quantification results were calculated as g lipid/ 100 g muscle. 23 Trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) content was determined by previous reduction 24 of a trichloracetic acid extract of the muscle with titanium (III) chloride [23] and further 5 1 assessment of trimethylamine (TMA) content by the spectrophotometric method 2 described by Tozawa et al. [24]. Results are expressed as g TMAO-N/ 100 g muscle. 3 Total phospholipids (PL) were quantified by measuring the organic phosphorus 4 on total lipid extracts according to the Raheja et al. [25] method based on a complex 5 formation with ammonium molybdate. Results are expressed as g PL/ kg muscle. 6 Total sterols (ST) were determined on total lipid extracts by the method of 7 Huang et al. [26] based on the Liebermann-Buchardt reaction. Results are expressed as 8 g ST/ kg muscle. 9 Free fatty acid (FFA) content was determined following the Lowry and Tinsley 10 [27] method, which is based on a complex formation with cupric acetate-pyridine. In 11 this study, benzene was replaced by toluene. Results are expressed as g FFA/ 10 kg 12 muscle. 13 To measure the triacylglycerol (TG) content, the lipid extract was first purified 14 by 20 x 20 cm thin-layer chromatography plates coated with a 0.5 mm-layer of silica gel 15 G from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany) using a mixture of hexane/ethyl ether/acetic acid 16 (90:10:1, vol/vol/vol; two developments) as eluent [9]. Once the TG fraction was 17 purified, the method of Vioque and Holman [28] was used for measuring the ester 18 linkage content, according to their conversion into hydroxamic acids and further 19 complexion with Fe (III). Results are expressed as g TG/ kg muscle. 20 Tocopherol isomers were analysed according to the Cabrini et al. [29] method. 21 For this, lipophilic antioxidants were extracted from the muscle with hexane, dried 22 under nitrogen flux, dissolved in isopropanol and injected into the HPLC system (ODS 23 column, 15 cm x 0.46 cm i.d.); detection was achieved at 280 nm. The presence of the 24 different tocopherol isomers was checked. Only the α-tocopherol isomer was detected, 25 and its content was expressed as mg α-tocopherol/ kg muscle. 6 1 Total lipid extracts were converted into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) by 2 employing acetylchloride and then analysed by gas-liquid chromatography (Perkin- 3 Elmer 8700 chromatograph), according to previous procedure [13]. For it, a fused silica 4 capillary column SP-2330 (0.25 mm i.d. x 30 m, Supelco, Inc., Bellefonte, Pa, USA) 5 was employed. Peak areas were automatically integrated, 19:0 fatty acid being used as 6 internal standard for quantitative analysis. Content of each fatty acid is expressed as g/ 7 kg muscle. 8 Seven essential minerals (Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Se and Zn) were chosen for the 9 present study as being included among the most abundant oligoelements [1] and 10 according to previous farmed/ wild fish comparative studies [15, 30]. 11 Edible flesh samples were dried in a stove at 50º C until constant weight and 12 later ground in a mortar. Then, a fraction of ca. 500 mg of each sample was weighed in 13 a Teflon vessel of 40 ml and a mixture of 4 ml of 65 % HNO3 and 1 ml of H2O2 was 14 added to carry out the microwave digestion. To be digested, the different muscle 15 mixtures were introduced in a Milestone 1200 Mega microwave grouped in series of 16 seven samples plus one blank and one certified material reference (DORM-2, National 17 Research Council Canada) to verify the correct sample solution. Concentration values 18 (mg/ kg muscle) for the different minerals in the reference material (found and certified, 19 respectively) were as follows: Ca (1.08±0.07 and not certified), Cu (2.03±0.57 and 20 2.34±0.16), Fe (127±20 and 142±10), Mg (1.02±0.09 and 1.01±0.04), Mn (3.00±0.23 21 and 3.66±0.34), Se (1.49±0.05 and 1.40±0.09) and Zn (23.3±0.9 and 25.6±2.3). 22 Mineral contents of the digested samples were determined by atomic absorption 23 spectrometry (AAS). Ca, Fe, Mg and Zn were analysed by means of flame atomic 24 absorption spectrometry (FAAS) using a Varian 220 FS apparatus. Cu, Mn and Se were 25 analysed by means of electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) using a 7 1 Varian 220 apparatus equipped with Zeeman background correction. Quantification 2 results are expressed as mg/ kg muscle, except for Ca and Mg (g/ kg muscle). 3 4 2.3. Statistical analysis 5 Data (n = 6) obtained from the different chemical analyses were subjected to the 6 ANOVA method (p<0.05) to explore differences by two different ways: fish origin 7 (farmed/ wild comparison) and body zone (ventral/ dorsal/ tail comparison) (Statsoft 8 Inc., Statistica, version 6.0, 2001). Comparison of means was performed using a least- 9 squares difference (LSD) method. For parameters where a non-homogeneous variation 10 was detected, the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test was employed. 11 12 13 3. Results and Discussion 14 15 3.1. General composition parameters 16 In all muscle zones studied, moisture content (Table 1) was found higher for 17 wild fish than for its counterpart obtained from farming conditions. However, no 18 significant differences could be concluded among muscle sites for both kinds of fish 19 material. 20 A higher lipid content (Table 1) was obtained in farmed fish than in wild one, 21 this according to the known inverse ratio between water and lipid constituent values [1]. 22 This higher lipid content can be explained as a result of the different diet and live 23 conditions corresponding to both kinds of fish and agrees to previous comparative 24 research on other fish species such as turbot [14, 30], gilthead seabream [16] and 8 1 seabass [31]. As for moisture content, no differences could be observed among muscle 2 sites for both wild and farmed fish. 3 Water and lipid contents obtained for the white muscle of wild blackspot 4 seabream agree to those reported for other lean fish species [1, 11]. Contrary, contents 5 on such constituents for the farmed fish can be considered as belonging to a fattier-type 6 fish pattern than the wild one [21]. However, lipid content values for farmed fish 7 muscle can be considered low when compared to previous studies on related farmed fish 8 species such as seabass [15, 31] and sea bream [16, 31], where fattier diets were 9 employed. Such differences can be explained on the basis of the strong and direct 10 influence of lipid content in diet on lipid content of the farmed product [14, 32]. 11 TMAO molecule has been recognised as an ubiquitous constituent of marine 12 species, supporting an important role in the osmoregulation during the live animal 13 period [2]. After the fish death, TMAO can develop different kinds of breakdown 14 damages during the processing/ storage process that lead to different spoilage molecule 15 formation such as TMA, dimethylamine and formaldehyde, this implying an important 16 effect on quality loss [33, 34]. 17 In the present study, TMAO-N content (Table 1) for wild fish was found largely 18 higher than for its counterpart obtained from farming conditions. This result agrees to 19 previous comparative research on cod [35] and olive flounder [36] and may be related to 20 the different live conditions. Accordingly, a higher formation of the above mentioned 21 spoilage molecules is to be expected in wild fish muscle than in its counterpart from 22 farming condition when technological treatments are applied. When the comparative 23 zone study is considered, both kinds of fish showed higher mean values in the tail site 24 than in the two others, being this difference significant in the case of farmed fish. To 25 our knowledge, no previous research accounts for the distribution of TMAO in different 9 1 muscle zones of the fish body. The higher value obtained in the tail zone in the present 2 study may be explained as a result of a greater interchange surface with the live medium 3 in this zone; thus, in agreement to the osmoregulation role accorded to TMAO, a higher 4 TMAO content would be necessary in this zone to prevent dehydration. 5 Previous research has shown that the highest TMAO-N contents are described in 6 elasmobranches, squids and gadoid fish (750-2500 mg TMAO-N/ kg muscle) [2, 33, 7 34]. Present results prove that TMAO-N content in farmed blackspot seabream is 8 relatively low [21], being similar to that reported for flat and pelagic fish species [33, 9 34]. 10 11 12 13 3.2. Lipid composition Table 2 shows the lipid group contents obtained in the three muscle locations of wild and farmed blackspot seabream. 14 When PL, ST and FFA are considered, no differences between farmed and wild 15 fish are observed. Such lipid groups are considered as functional ones, so that their 16 content and presence in the muscle should not be specially influenced by external 17 factors such as water temperature, feeding availability and its composition [7]. 18 Additionally, differences among muscle zones were not obtained in both kinds of fish in 19 the present work. Again, this result agrees to the fact that such kinds of lipid groups 20 develop a structural role in living bodies, so that its presence in the muscle is hardly 21 affected by internal factors such as anatomical and physiological aspects [7, 14]. This 22 difference lack among muscle sites agrees to previous research on PL [37] and 23 cholesterol [31] contents related to other fish species. 24 Free fatty acid content has been recognised as a good indicator of lipid 25 hydrolysis during processing and storage of fish species [38]. Value ranges found in the 10 1 present study correspond to a very low lipid hydrolysis development [11, 21], according 2 to the fact that fish was analysed immediately after catching/ slaughtering. Thus, values 3 obtained in the present research should correspond to the in vivo metabolic action of 4 lipases and phospholipases on high-molecular-weight lipids such as TG and PL, 5 respectively. According to data shown in Table 2, a different hydrolytic enzyme activity 6 in the different muscle zones was not observed for both kinds of fish. 7 Results are different when a depot lipid class like TG is concerned. In this case, 8 a higher content was obtained for farmed fish than for its counterpart from wild 9 condition. This higher level can be explained as a result of the diet and the live 10 conditions, and agrees to the higher lipid content mentioned in Table 1 for farmed fish. 11 As for the other lipid groups, no differences among zones could be detected for both 12 wild and farmed fish. 13 Alpha-tocopherol contents obtained in fish muscle are also expressed in Table 2. 14 Values were included in the range reported for most fish species [1, 39]. However, 15 higher values were obtained for wild fish than for its counterpart from farming 16 condition. This difference could be explained as a result of a different diet intake 17 between both kinds of blackspot seabream, according to previous comparative research 18 [40, 41]. Indeed, if the α-tocopherol/ total lipid ratio is considered, an even lower value 19 is observed in each zone in the farmed fish when compared with its corresponding site 20 in the wild one (30-43 and 120-180 mg/ 100 g lipids for farmed and wild fish, 21 respectively). Concerning the muscle zone comparison, lower mean values could be 22 detected for the tail site than in the two others; such differences were significant in the 23 case of wild fish between ventral and tail zones. Some different distribution of α- 24 tocopherol in muscle was also observed in higher-size farmed fish species such as turbot 25 (Scophthalmus maximus) and Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) [42]. 11 1 Tocopherols are known lipid-soluble chain-breaking antioxidants, whose main 2 role is protecting the unsaturated fatty acids from oxidation [43]. Different isomers (α-, 3 β-, γ- and δ-) have been identified in plants and all have been found in most seaweeds 4 and unicellular algae. However, α-tocopherol has been reported to be the only 5 tocopherol which accumulates in higher marine animals from natural diets [44]. When 6 farmed fish is considered, deposition of different tocopherol molecules (primarily α and 7 γ isomers) as influenced by the diet has often been observed [45]. However, in the 8 present study only the α-tocopherol isomer was detected for both farmed and wild fish. 9 10 3.3. Fatty acid composition 11 Fatty acid content in the three muscle locations of wild and farmed fish is 12 exposed in Table 3. In the case of wild fish, most abundant fatty acids were 22:6 ω3 13 (DHA), 16:0 and 18:1 ω9, according to a wide number of previous studies carried out 14 on fish species obtained from wild conditions [1, 46]. For farmed fish, such three fatty 15 acids were still the most abundant in the present study, although some differences with 16 the wild fish pattern could be mentioned; thus, an important presence of 18:2 ω6 and 17 20:5 ω3 (EPA) fatty acids could be detected. Differences between farmed and wild fish 18 can be explained as a result of the different diet provided to both kinds of fish, 19 according to previous farmed/ wild comparison studies on other fish species [14-16]. 20 Discussion concerning content differences between farmed and wild fish and 21 among the different sites will now be focused on fatty acid group contents and fatty acid 22 ratio values (Table 3). Thus, a higher saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA) and 23 PUFA content could be observed in farmed fish muscle than in its counterpart from 24 wild condition. This result agrees with the fact that a higher lipid content is present in 25 the muscle belonging to fish from farming condition (Table 1). 12 1 Among muscle locations, farmed fish showed higher SFA, MUFA and PUFA 2 contents in the dorsal zone than in the two other ones, this being in agreement with a 3 higher mean value for its lipid content (Table 1). Related to wild fish, a higher SFA and 4 MUFA was also detected in the dorsal muscle than in the two other zones, this again 5 according to a higher mean value for lipid content obtained for such body site (Table 1); 6 no zone differences were concluded for the PUFA content in wild fish. 7 A great interest has recently been accorded to the ω3/ ω6 ratio of foods included 8 in the human diet [4, 5]. In the present study (Table 3), both farmed and wild blackspot 9 seabream provided a profitable ω3/ ω6 ratio in order to maintain the recommended 10 value (1/6, ω3/ ω6) for the whole human diet [47]. However, a greater ω3/ ω6 ratio was 11 obtained for wild fish than for its counterpart from farming condition, this according to 12 previous comparative research on other fish species [14-16, 30]. Among muscle sites, 13 no differences could be detected both in farmed and wild fish for the ω3/ ω6 ratio. 14 In agreement to the recent interest on the ω3 fatty acids, a great attention has 15 been accorded to both most abundant components (DHA and EPA) of the series. Thus, 16 EPA has been recognised to be beneficial for human health by reducing the risk of 17 cardiovascular diseases [48], while DHA has been recognised to develop relevant 18 functions related to nervous system and visual functions in human beings [49]. 19 According to this interest, the DHA/ EPA ratio distribution in the different sites and 20 kinds of blackspot seabream was studied (Table 3). In all cases, a value > 1 for this ratio 21 was obtained. In all muscle locations considered, a greater ratio was obtained for wild 22 fish than for its counterpart from farming conditions, this agreeing to previous 23 comparative research on other fish species [15, 30, 37]. Among muscle zones, no 24 differences could be detected both in farmed and wild fish. 25 13 1 3.4. Mineral composition 2 Marine organisms have shown to accumulate minerals from the diet and deposit 3 them in their skeletal tissues and organs, so as to be considered a good source of 4 essential minerals [1]. Several studies have indicated that the concentration of trace 5 minerals in fish muscle may be influenced not only by external factors (food source, 6 environment), but also by anatomical and physiological aspects [15, 50]. 7 Trace mineral contents obtained in the actual study are expressed in Table 4. 8 Level ranges obtained for Ca and Mg were higher than for the five remaining minerals 9 according to common distribution in marine species flesh [1, 50]. Present research 10 showed some differences when comparing farmed and wild individuals, being the diet 11 provided responsible for such differences [15, 30]. Thus, Ca and Mg contents showed 12 higher mean values in wild fish than in its counterpart obtained from farming condition; 13 such differences were significant only in the case of the tail zone. Related to Fe, Mn, Se 14 and Zn, higher mean values were obtained in most cases for farmed fish than for its 15 counterpart from wild condition; such differences were found significant in all cases at 16 the ventral zone. No differences in Cu content could be observed between wild and 17 farmed fish. Comparison among the different zones provided some significant 18 differences, although a general pattern could not be established. 19 Previous research has accounted for the essential and toxic mineral assessment 20 on wild blackspot seabream [20]. In such experiment, fish was captured in the 21 Portuguese coast and no muscle zone study was achieved. Compared to the present 22 study, lower values were obtained for Ca and Se contents, being higher those from Zn. 23 When compared to previous comparative research on other farmed and wild fish species 24 [1, 37, 51], expected values were obtained in the actual study for most minerals (Ca, Fe, 25 Mg, Mn and Zn); however, such comparison showed that lower and higher values were 14 1 obtained for Cu and Se, respectively. Se values obtained can be considered interesting 2 since this mineral is actually reported to be a health-promoting ingredient in foods 3 because of a wide number of important biological functions that depend on the activity 4 of certain Se-containing proteins [52]. 5 6 7 4. CONCLUDING REMARKS 8 9 Farmed and wild blackspot seabream muscle has shown to include valuable 10 components related to lipid fraction (PUFA, ω3 PUFA, ω3/ ω6 fatty ratio and α- 11 tocopherol values) and minerals (Se, especially). 12 Contrary to previous related research on other fish species, constituents 13 evaluated (lipid and non-lipid parameters) provided limited differences among the 14 muscle zones considered in both wild and farmed fish; most of such differences arose 15 from lipid content distribution in muscle. However, a marked non-homogeneous 16 distribution can not be concluded from the present study. 17 However, comparison between farmed and wild fish led to a wide number of 18 differences (general composition parameters, lipid groups and fatty acids), most of them 19 related to the different diet intake and to the different live conditions. A great attention 20 should be accorded to the lipid content and composition included in the diet provided, 21 so that farmed fish can maintain similar values found in wild specimens of blackspot 22 seabream, specially those related to ω3/ ω6 fatty ratio and endogenous antioxidants like 23 tocopherol isomers. 24 25 26 15 1 FIGURE LEGENDS 2 3 4 Figure 1: Position of the three white muscle zones (ventral, dorsal and tail) considered 5 in the present study 6 7 8 9 16 1 REFERENCES 2 3 4 [1] G.
