Genetic selection for high growth in gilthead seabream broodstock positively impacts reproductive performance, with differences observed in fecundity parameters and egg fatty acid profiles when fed different diets. Replacement of fish oil by rapeseed oil did not significantly affect reproduction as long as essential fatty acid requirements were met.
Genetic selection programmes in gilthead seabream mainly focus on traits related to growth, disease resistance, skeletal anomalies, or fillet quality. However, the effect of selection for growth on the reproductive performance of seabream broodstock has not received much attention. The present study aimed to determine the effect of selection for growth traits, high (HG) or low (LG) growth, and broodstock feeding with fish oil (FO diet) or rapeseed oil (RO diet) as main lipid sources, on reproductive performance of gilthead seabream. For the first part of the spawning season (Phase I) HG and LG broodstock were fed a commercial diet and the HG broodstock produced a higher number of larvae and higher viable eggs, hatching and larval survival rates than LG broodstock, affecting egg fatty acid profiles. For the second part of the study (Phase II) broodstock were fed one of the two diets containing FO or RO. Fecundity in terms of viable eggs, hatchlings, and larvae produced, as well as fertilization rates, were improved in HG broodstock. Some fatty acids such as 18:0, 20:2n-6, 20:3n-3 or EPA/ARA were also affected by the growth selection. According to the two-way ANOVA analysis, feeding the RO diet did not significantly affect fecundity parameters, but slightly reduced fertilization and hatching rates in HG brood stock. Nevertheless, HG broodstock showed better spawning quality parameters than LG brood stock, even when they were fed the RO diet. Egg fatty acid profiles reflected diet composition, although DHA contents were not affected. In conclusion, broodstock selected for high growth had a positive effect on broodstock performance, and FO replacement by RO did not markedly affect reproduction providing that fatty acid contents were sufficient to fulfill the essential fatty acid requirements of gilthead seabream broodstock.
