The gonad quality of sea urchin (Mesocentrotus nudus) adults from a barren can be improved by feeding the animals fronds of the kelpSaccharina japonicafrom May–July. The improvement in taste is expected to depend on the amino acid composition of the kelp fronds, which varies among the frond portions. We investigated the effects of feeding apical, middle and basal frond portions ofS. japonicaon gonad size, hardness, color (L*a*b*) and taste (free amino acids) ofM. nudusfrom a barren from May–July in a rearing experiment in which we analyzed the protein and total and free amino acid content of each frond portion. Feeding of each frond portion improved gonad size, hardness, color and taste. Feeding of the basal portion, which contained high levels of glutamic acid, alanine, and proline, markedly increased the alanine and glutamic acid content and decreased the content of bitter-tasting amino acids in gonads, implying greatly enhanced sweet and umami taste. Based on a comparison of alanine content with that reported in past studies ofM. nudus, the gonad taste would be evaluated at a higher level. The basal portion ofS. japonicafronds has the high potential to improve gonad taste.
