    Notes: Abstract Sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) larvae were fed from day 15 to day 35 with 4 isoenergetic formulated diets that varied in protein (30, 40, 50, 60%) and carbohydrate (37, 27, 17, 7%) content. The diets were designated as P30, P40, P50 and P60, respectively. Best growth and survival were noted for P50 larvae. Poor growth and survival were observed for P30 larvae. The specific activity of amylase increased in direct relation to the dietary carbohydrate level from day 18 onwards. This increase was the result of extensive amylase synthesis. Trypsin activity was positively correlated with dietary protein level only at day 35. This study shows that the mechanisms involved in amylase regulation are efficient in very young sea bass larvae, while those related to trypsin appear later in ontogeny and thus suggests an age-dependent regulation of enzyme synthesis.

    Notes: Abstract Specific activities and mRNA levels of trypsin and amylase were studied in sea bass larvae. From day 20 to day 40, Dicentrarchus labrax were fed two rations of one day old Artemia: satiation (LP) and one-eighth of the satiation ration (LP/8) or two isoenergetic compound diets that varied in protein (30 and 60%) and carbohydrate (37 and 7%) content (FP30 and FP60 respectively). Trypsin mRNA levels and specific activities were mainly influenced by the nature of dietary protein and the Artemia ration. By using fish meal as protein source, dietary protein concentration did not affect either mRNA level nor specific activity of trypsin. These results suggested that the trypsin synthesis was not affected at a transcriptional level by the protein ration, i.e., Artemia ration. Decrease in amylase mRNA observed from day 29 in the four dietary groups suggested that this decrease in amylase expression is genetically programmed during sea bass larvae development. Nevertheless, the composition and the quantity of the diet influenced the amylase specific activities revealing primarily translational regulation of amylase. This study shows for the first time that the molecular mechanisms which control the dietary adaptation of trypsin and amylase are independently regulated, age-dependent and influenced by the composition and the quantity of the diet.
