“…The blood parameters of fish are essential tools for the detection of abnormalities associated with nutritional strategies, environmental stressors, diseases, and immunological responses (Abdel-Daim et al, 2019;Dawood et al, 2017;Faggio et al, 2014). The blood parameters obtained in the present study are considered to be within the normal range for red sea bream based on previous findings (El Basuini et al, 2017). The glucose content, haematocrit, total cholesterol content, and total bilirubin content were not significantly affected in the fish fed experimental diets.…”

The beneficial effects of Bacillus subtilis C-3102 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae type 1 were tested in red sea bream (Pagrus major) feeds. A basal diet (control) and two other diets were prepared by supplementation with B. subtilis C-3102 (PB) or S. cerevisiae type 1 (PY). After 60 days, both probiotic-supplemented groups exhibited significant enhancement in growth performance, the protein efficiency ratio (PER), and digestive enzyme secretion (protease and amylase) compared to the control group (P<0.05). The anterior, middle, and posterior parts of the intestines exhibited significantly increased values of intestinal fold height (hF), enterocyte height (hE), and microvillus height (hMV) in fish fed PB- or PY-supplemented diets (P<0.05). Serum peroxidase, anti-protease, and bactericidal activities were enhanced significantly in both probiotic-treated groups compared to the control group (P<0.05). Serum and mucus lysozyme activities improved significantly in the PB group compared to the control group (P<0.05). Catalase activity was also significantly decreased in both probiotic groups, with relatively lower activity observed in the PY group (P<0.05). Both probiotic groups showed increased tolerance considerably to freshwater exposure (P<0.05). In conclusion, B. subtilis C-3102 and S. cerevisiae type 1 can be used as functional probiotics to enhance the growth performance, digestion capacity, gut morphology, immune response, and stress resistance of the red sea bream with relatively higher efficiency by B. subtilis C-3102.

“…High doses of vitamin C stimulated immune effects and increased disease resistance in large yellow croaker, Pseudosciaena crocea (Ai et al, ); red sea bream, Pagrus major (El Basuini et al, ; Wang et al, ); and yellow drum, Nibea albiflora (Wang et al, ). In this trial, the activities of serum lysozymes C3 and C4, PP, counts of RBCs and WBCs, and content of IgM, as important immune parameters, increased with dietary vitamin C supplementation and suggested that vitamin C could improve immunity in M. albus .…”

“…Vitamin C is also a necessary micronutrient that not only plays an important role in normal growth for most aquatic animals but also performs physiological functions (Dawood & Koshio, ; National Research Council, ). Usually, inadequate supplementation of dietary vitamin C results in detrimental effects, including retarded growth, suppressed immunity, and increased susceptibility to bacterial diseases, in aquatic animals (Liang, Li, Hou, Qiu, & Zhou, , El Basuini et al, , Lin & Shiau, ). l ‐gulonolactone oxidase is essential to transform l ‐gulonic acid into vitamin C. Generally, vitamin C cannot be synthesized in most teleosts if l ‐gulonolactone oxidase is lacking (Fracalossi, Allen, Yuyama, & Oftedal, ).…”

A 10‐week feeding trial aimed to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin C (l‐ascorbic acid) on growth, antioxidant activity, and immunity in ricefield eel, Monopterus albus. Six diets were formulated with different levels of vitamin C supplementation (0.1, 17.5, 34.8, 68.6, 139.7, and 278.5 mg/kg). The results indicated that the weight gain (WG) of the M. albus fed the diets with vitamin C was remarkably higher than that of the M. albus fed the control diet (p < .05), and the quadratic analysis showed an optimal vitamin C level of 80.66 mg/kg. Compared with the control group, serum lysozyme activities, the complement pathway, red blood cell counts, white blood cell counts, immunoglobulin M, and phagocytosis percentage were significantly increased (p < .05) in the treatment groups, and superoxide dismutase activity, serum glucose, and malondialdehyde content were significantly decreased (p < .05) in the treatment groups. The challenge trial with Aeromonas hydrophila showed that the M. albus fed the diets with vitamin C had remarkably reduced cumulative mortality compared with those fed the control diet (p < .05), and mortality in the 68.60 mg/kg diet group was the lowest. Based on WG, the optimal vitamin C supplementation level for M. albus was estimated to be 80.66 mg/kg.

“…Conversely, dietary AA inclusion significantly depressed the plasma TC level in rainbow trout (John et al, ), Japanese parrot Oplegnathus fasciatus (Ishibashi et al, ) and red sea bream Pagrus major (Hossain et al, ; Ren et al, ). However, most studies demonstrated that the blood TC level of fish is independent of dietary AA levels (El Basuini et al, ; Dawood et al, , ; Gao et al, ; Ishikawa et al, ; Liang et al, ; Ming et al, ; Shahkar et al, ). Thus, the relationship between dietary AA status and steroidogenesis is still unclear in fish, and further studies to identify the reasons for the difference and determine the mechanisms in which dietary AA regulate cholesterol metabolism in fish are needed.…”

An 80-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary ascorbic acid (AA) supplementation at different levels (0, 0.2 and 0.4 g/kg l-ascorbate-2-polyphosphate; 7.6, 77.2 and 146.7 mg/kg AA, respectively) on cholesterol metabolism in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Dietary AA supplementation regardless of inclusion level increased the serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and LDL cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio. No significant differences were observed in the serum triiodothyronine and thyroxine levels, faecal cholesterol content, hepatic activity and mRNA expression of acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase among the dietary treatments. Dietary AA inclusion increased the faecal bile acid content, hepatic activity and mRNA expression of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase and hepatic cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase mRNA expression, but decreased the hepatic LDL receptor content.High level of AA supplementation (0.4 g/kg) depressed the serum cortisol levels.These results suggest that dietary supplementation with 0.2-0.4 g/kg l-ascorbate-2polyphosphate may increase the serum total cholesterol level in rainbow trout. The cholesterol-raising effect of AA may be due to the increased hepatic cholesterol production and the depressed cholesterol clearance from serum. In addition, dietary AA inclusion also facilitates the hepatic conversion of cholesterol to bile acids.
