The first few months of life is the most vulnerable period for fish and their optimal hatching time with zooplankton prey is favored by natural selection. Traditionally, however, prey abundance (i.e., zooplankton density) has been considered important, whereas prey nutritional composition has been largely neglected in natural settings. High-quality zooplankton, rich in both essential amino acids (EAAs) and fatty acids (FAs), are required as starting prey to initiate development and fast juvenile growth. Prey quality is dependent on environmental conditions, and, for example, eutrophication and browning are two major factors defining primary producer community structures that will directly determine the nutritional quality of the basal food sources (algae, bacteria, terrestrial matter) for zooplankton. We experimentally tested how eutrophication and browning affect the growth and survival of juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) by changing the quality of basal resources. We fed the fish on herbivorous zooplankton (Daphnia) grown with foods of different nutritional quality (algae, bacteria, terrestrial matter), and used GC-MS, stable isotope labeling as well as bulk and compound-specific stable isotope analyses for detecting the effects of different diets on the nutritional status of fish. The content of EAAs and omega-3 (ω-3) polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs) in basal foods and zooplankton decreased in both eutrophication and browning treatments. The decrease in ω-3 PUFA and especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was reflected to fish juveniles, but they were able to compensate for low availability of EAAs in their food. Therefore, the reduced growth and survival of the juvenile fish was linked to the low availability of DHA. Fish showed very low ability to convert alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) to DHA. We conclude that eutrophication and browning decrease the availability of the originally phytoplankton-derived DHA for zooplankton and juvenile fish, suggesting bottom-up regulation of food web quality.

Lowered nutritional quality of prey decrease the growth and biomolecule content of rainbow trout fry
Taipale, Sami J.; Pulkkinen, Katja; Keva, Ossi; Kainz, Martin J.; Nykänen, Hannu (Elsevier Inc., 2022)Diet quality is crucial for the development of offspring. Here, we examined how the nutritional quality of prey affects somatic growth and the lipid, carbohydrate, protein, amino acid, and polyunsaturated fatty acid content ... -
Eutrophication and browning influence Daphnia nutritional ecology
Taipale, Sami J.; Aalto, Sanni L.; Galloway, Aaron W. E.; Kuoppamäki, Kirsi; Nzobeuh, Polain; Peltomaa, Elina (Taylor & Francis, 2019)Climate change and land-use practices can enhance lake eutrophication and browning, which influence phytoplankton composition by decreasing the availability of food high in nutritional quality (algae) and increasing the ... -
Sterol limitation of Daphnia on eukaryotic phytoplankton : a combined supplementation and compound‐specific stable isotope labeling approach
Laine, Miikka Benjami; Martin‐Creuzburg, Dominik; Litmanen, Jaakko J.; Taipale, Sami J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)Essential biomolecules can critically influence the performance of consumers. A deficiency in dietary sterols has been shown to constrain the food quality of prokaryotic food sources for aquatic consumers. Here, we assessed ... -
Protocols for sample preparation and compound-specific stable-isotope analyses (δ2H, δ13C) of fatty acids in biological and environmental samples
Pilecky, Matthias; Wassenaar, Leonard I.; Taipale, Sami; Kainz, Martin J. (Elsevier BV, 2023)Compound-specific stable-isotope analysis (CSIA) of fatty acids is a powerful tool to better understand the trophic transfer of fatty acids and their biochemical fate in and across ecosystems, including tracing animal ... -
Hydrogen isotopes (δ2H) of polyunsaturated fatty acids track bioconversion by zooplankton
Pilecky, Matthias; Kämmer, Samuel K.; Mathieu‐Resuge, Margaux; Wassenaar, Leonard I.; Taipale, Sami J.; Martin‐Creuzburg, Dominik; Kainz, Martin J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)1. Organisms at the base of aquatic food webs synthesize essential nutrients, such as omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA), which are transferred to consumers at higher trophic levels. Many consumers, requiring ...
