Procambrus clarkii has become a popular crustacean species for aquaculture in China,and more studies are required on the nutritional requirements of the broodstock during maturation to improve broodstock and egg quality.Lipid is an important nutrient for growth of crustaceans not only as energy sources but also as essential nutrient.Hepatopancreas is regarded as a major lipid storage and processing organ in crustaceans.To clarify the variation of the lipid content and fatty acid composition during ovarian maturation(five stages divided),lipid content and fatty acid composition in hepatopancreas and ovary of Procambrus clarkii were determined at each stage during ovarian maturation.The results indicated that:(1) During ovarian maturation,the gonadosomatic index(GSI) increased dramatically from 0.12% to 6.64%,while the hepatopancreas index(HSI) decreased from 7.95% to 5.31%.(2) Although the dry matter content(%) in ovaries increased from 22.29% to 55.16% between stages Ⅰ and Ⅴ,a significant increase in the levels of lipid content in dry matter was only observed from stage Ⅱ(32.38%) to stage Ⅲ(41.90%).(3) In hepatopancreas,C16:0,C16:1n7,C18:0,C18:1n9,C18:1n7,C18:2n6 and C18:3n3 were the principal fatty acid(FA).Compared to hepatopancreas,ovaries also contained high C20:4n6 and C20:5n3 proportions.Among the principal fatty acid,C16:0,C18:1n9 and C18:2n6 accounted for a large proportion.(4) During ovarian maturation,C20:4n6,C20:5n3 and C22:6n3 decreased significantly,while C18:2n6 increased continuously.These results suggest that lipids in hepatopancreas may be transferred to the ovary of P.clarkii during maturation.The accumulation of nutrients accorded to appropriate proportions at post-stages of ovarian maturation.C18:2n6 may play a more vital role during the ovarian and embryonic development compared to highly unsaturated fatty acid.
