The proposed 3-year investigation is a request for a continuation               of a program charactering-important fish species. The                           investigators will use state-of-the-art membrane vesicle                        techniques to elucidate the mechanisms of amino acid, short-chain               fatty acid, peptide, and vitamin uptake into intestinal and                     pyloric cecal epithelial cells of the trout and tilapia in Hawaii               and the upper and lower intestinal segments of the eel in Italy.                In addition, cell culture methods will be used to grow confluent                epithelial monolayers from intestine and pyloric ceca of the                    respective fishes which can be mounted in Ussing chambers to                    investigate the processes of transepithelial nutrient transport.                This study should lead to important information about the                       mechanisms of nutrient absorption in herbivorous (tilapia) and                  carnivorous (trout, eel) fish species, and should elucidate the                 relative importance of intestinal and pyloric cecal epithelia in                these absorptive processes.  The study has application value                    ecomonics of food utilization in the fish farming operations.
