Cost-benefit of feeding on anthropogenic organic matter: lipid changes in a detritivorous fish (<i>Prochilodus lineatus</i>)

The lipid composition of muscle and liver of detritivorous fish <i>Prochilodus lineatus</i>, settling particles and sediments from reference and polluted areas of the Parana-Rio de la Plata basin were analyzed to evaluate the impact of feeding on contaminated detritus. Overall, muscular...

description The lipid composition of muscle and liver of detritivorous fish <i>Prochilodus lineatus</i>, settling particles and sediments from reference and polluted areas of the Parana-Rio de la Plata basin were analyzed to evaluate the impact of feeding on contaminated detritus. Overall, muscular lipids were highly variable (14 ± 13 % wet mass, ww) and increased with body mass trough a rapid triglyceride accumulation [82 ± 7.9 % neutral lipids (NL) for fish weighing less than 1 kg to 99 ± 0.51 % NL for fish weighing more than 4 kg] with a parallel decrease of free fatty acid (13 ± 6.0 to 0.11 ± 0.23 % NL). Liver lipids were more uniform (6.0 ± 2.1 % ww) and were dominated by triglycerides (40 ± 21 % NL) and free fatty acids (34 ± 19 % NL). Compared with fish from reference areas in the North, polluted fish from Buenos Aires presented higher muscular lipid contents (24 ± 13 vs. 3.9 ± 3.1 % ww) and triglyceride abundance (98 ± 3.5 vs. 84 ± 9.7 % NL), and enlarged livers (Hepatosomatic index 1.4 ± 0.4 vs. 0.7 ± 0.2) enriched with esterified cholesterol (20 ± 9.1 vs. 11 ± 9.9 % NL). These differences were consistent with the higher proportions of lipids, enriched with free fatty acids and triglycerides, in stomach contents, settling particles and sediments from Buenos Aires relative to the North of the basin. The change in <i>Prochilodus lineatus</i> diet from organic-poor vegetal detritus in the north to polluted but abundant and fresh anthropogenic matter at Buenos Aires resulted in multiple alterations of lipid metabolism.
