[0050] Example I

[0051] A method for controlling pollution of an organic pollutant in an aquatic animal and / or improving a growth performance of the aquatic animal included:

[0052] Experimental site: a dioxin-contaminated Eriocheir sinensis breeding base in Shanghai, and the sediment of this breeding base had an organic pollution concentration of 6.6 pg toxic equivalent quantity (TEQ) / g.

[0053] Experimental setting: hairy crabs {Eriocheir sinensis) were cultured in cages, with 60 crabs in each cage (including 30 male crabs and 30 female crabs), where crab specifications were: male crabs weighing 100 g to 125 g, female crab weighing 75 g.

[0054] (1) The aquatic feed included the following components in mass percentage: fermented soybean meal 26.4%, peanut meal 10%, imported fish meal 20%, chicken meal 4%, Antarctic krill meal 2%, high-gluten flour 27.5%, general aquatic multivitamin 0.3%, multi-mineral premix 0.3%, calcium dihydrogen phosphate 1.5%, choline chloride 0.4% (with 60% active ingredient), vitamin C ester 0.1% (with 35% active ingredient), phospholipid oil 2%, refined fish oil 3%, soybean oil 2%, and activated carbon 0.5%; the above raw materials were mixed evenly to obtain the aquatic feed.

[0055] (2) The aquatic feed prepared in step (1) was fed to hairy crabs at a proportion of 0.5% to J.% of the crab weight; specifically : the aquatic feed was fed 1 time a day with routine management being conducted. [(1056] Example 2

[0057] This example differed from Example 1 in that step (1) was: the aquatic feed included the following components in mass percentage: fermented soybean meal 26.4%, peanut meal 10%, imported steamed fish meal 20%, chicken meal 4%, Antarctic krill meal 2%, high-gluten flour 25.5%, general aquatic multivitamin 0.3%, multi-mineral premix 0.3%, calcium dihydrogen phosphate 1.5%, choline chloride 0.4% (with 60% active ingredient), vitamin C ester 0.1% (with 35% active ingredient), phospholipid oil 2%, refined fish oil 3%, soybean oil 2%, and activated carbon 2.5%, the above raw materials were mixed evenly to obtain the aquatic feed.

[0058] Comparative Example 1

[0059] This comparative example differed from Example 1 in that step (1) was: the aquatic feed included the following components in mass percentage: fermented soybean meal 26.4%, peanut meal 10%, imported steamed fish meal 20%, chicken meal 4%, Antarctic krill meal 2%, high-gluten flour 28%, general aquatic multivitamin 0.3%, multi-mineral premix 0.3%, calcium dihydrogen phosphate 1.5%, choline chloride 0.4% (with 60% active ingredient), vitamin C ester 0.1% (with 35% active ingredient), phospholipid oil 2%, refined fish oil 3%, and soybean oil 2%; the above raw materials were mixed evenly to obtain the aquatic feed.

[0060] The concentrations of dioxin accumulated in the hairy crabs in Examples 1, 2 and Comparative Example 1 were measured before feeding (0 days, d), 7 d, 14 d, 21 d, 28 d, and 35 d separately (where a method for determining the dioxin concentration referred to the method specified in the standard US EPA methods 1613B and 1668C). The results were shown in Table 1 and FIG 1 (in FIG. 1, the Control represented the test results of Comparative Example 1, the 0.5 Activated carbon represented the test results of Example 1, and the 2.5 Activated carbon represented the test results of Example 2).

[0061] Table 1 Influences of different treatments on concentration of dioxin accumulated in hairy crabs (unit: pg TEQ / g)

[0062] Treatment Od 7d 14d 21d 28d 35d Example I 1.38 1.34 2.86 2.62 1.49 3.17 Example 2 1.38 2.11 2.60 3.03 2.18 3.56 Comparative Example 1 1.38 1.73 1.74 4.79 3.58 7.54

[0063] As shown in Table 1 and FIG. 1, as the feeding time increased, the concentration of accumulated dioxin in hairy crabs also increased When being fed for 35 d, the total TEQ concentration of accumulated dioxin in hairy crabs using regular feed without activated carbon was 6 as high as 7.54 pg TEQ / g; while the dioxin concentrations in hairy crabs fed 0.5% and 2.5% activated carbon feeds were 3.17 pg TEQ / g and 3.56 pg TEQ / g, respectively.

[0064] After feeding for 35 d, the growth performance indicators of the hairy crabs in Examples 1, 2 and Comparative Example 1 were tested, and the specific results were shown in Table 2. The growth performance indicators were measured with reference to the group standard method T / CMHXXH 001-2019 "Chongming clear water crab” issued by River Crab Association, Chongming District, Shanghai.

[0065] Table 2 Influences of different treatments on growth performances of hairy crabs (m::6, namely 6 crabs for repetition)

[0067] Notes: Duncan's method was used for multiple comparisons, items marked with different lowercase letters indicated significant differences between groups ( / ><0.05), and items marked with the same lowercase letters indicated insignificant differences between groups (p>0.05).

[0068] As shown in Table 2, compared with ordinary feed feeding: there was no significant difference in the condition factor, HSI, and GSI of hairy crabs fed with 0.5% and 2.5% activated carbon feeds and those fed with ordinary feed; and the MSI of hairy crabs fed with 0.5% activated carbon feed was significantly higher than that of hairy crabs fed with ordinary feed. It was seen that the feed added with activated carbon did not affect the growth performances of hairy crabs and promoted the increase of hairy / crab MSI to a certain extent.

[0069] In summary / , it can be seen that the aquatic feed prepared by the present disclosure can not only control the pollution of organic pollutants in E.r iocheir sinensis, but also promote the increase of MSI in Eriocheir sinensis.

[0070] Although the above example has described the present disclosure in detail, it is only a part of, not all of, the examples of the present disclosure. Other examples may also be obtained by persons based on the example without creative efforts, and all of these examples shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
