“…Similar results were also obtained by various other authors for African catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Merchie et al 1997), Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer (Boonyaratpalin et al 1994), red sea bream, Pagrus major (Kosutarak et al 1994), Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar (Sandnes et al 1992), yellow perch, Perca flavescens (Lee and Dabrowski 2004), and pirarucu, Arapaima gigas (de Menezes et al 2006). However, studies have also reported that growth of Leporinus obtusidens (Mello et al 1999), Stizostedion vitreum (Kolkovski et al 2000), Sparus aurata (Ortuño et al 2001), Scophthalmus maximus (Ruff et al 2003), and Arapaima gigas (de Andrade et al 2007) fed diets supplemented with high doses of vitamin C was not significantly different (P [ 0.05) from that of fish without vitamin supplementation. This discrepancy may be attributed to differences in diet composition, rearing conditions, vitamin doses, or physiological condition of the animals.…”

Comparing the efficacy of dietary α-tocopherol with that of dl-α-tocopheryl acetate, both either alone or in combination with ascorbic acid, on growth and stress resistance of angelfish, Pterophylum scalare, juveniles

This study aimed to compare the efficacy of dietary a-tocopherol with that of DL-a-tocopheryl acetate, both either alone or in combination with vitamin C (ascorbic acid), on the growth performance, survival, and stress resistance of angelfish, Pterophylum scalare, juveniles. Juveniles were fed ad libitum for four weeks with Artemia enriched with no vitamins (control), vitamin C (T c ), a-tocopherol (T a ), DL-a-tocopheryl acetate (T DL ), a-tocopherol and vitamin C (T a+C ), and DL-a-tocopheryl acetate and vitamin C (T DL+C ). After four weeks, an osmotic stress test was performed using seawater (25 g/L) to evaluate juvenile's resistance to stress. Whole-body glucose and cortisol were used as stress indicators. At the end of the feeding trial, growth performance and survival of the juveniles fed vitamin-enriched Artemia were significantly (P \ 0.05) higher than for the control fish. Best performance was recorded for the T a+C group. Survival, however, was not significantly (P [ 0.05) different between the vitamin-fed groups. Osmotic stress significantly elevated the stress indicators, whole-body cortisol and glucose levels (P \ 0.05), highest and lowest values being observed in control and T a+C groups, respectively. Survival after osmotic stress of juveniles fed the T a+c diet was significantly higher (by 46.2%, P \ 0.001) than for controls. Results suggested that a-tocopherol has greater efficacy than DL-a-tocopheryl acetate and enriching Artemia with a-tocopherol and vitamin C together improves growth performance, survival, and stress resistance of angelfish juveniles.

“…Hence, it could be suggested that any unhealthy condition caused by poor nutrition could affect the hematological characteristics of fish. Plasma glucose concentration is one of the stress indicators in fish (Menezes et al 2006) which may vary greatly depending on the physiological status of the animal (de Andrade et al 2007). Mommsen et al (1999) reported that plasma glucose values can increase, decrease, or keep constant under a high plasma cortisol level.…”

Effects of extruded pellet and moist pellet on growth performance, body composition, and hematology of juvenile olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus

et al. 2016

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of two different sizes of extruded pellets (EP) (EP 1 -3 mm or EP 2 -5 mm) and a moist pellet (MP) in olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, reared in semi-recirculation system. A total of 450 fish with an average initial weight of 5.0 ± 0.2 g (mean ± SD) were fed one of the three experimental diets in triplicate groups. At the end of a 6-week feeding trial, weight gain, specific growth rate, and feed efficiency of fish fed EP diets were significantly higher than those of fish fed MP (P < 0.05). Water quality parameters like turbidity, total ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorous from tanks of fish fed EP 1 and EP 2 were significantly lower than those from tanks of fish fed MP. Blood plasma glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and glucose concentration were significantly higher in fish fed MP diet compared to fish fed EP diets (P < 0.05). Whole body crude protein contents in fish fed EP diets were higher than those from the fish fed MP diet. Whole body amino acid content like threonine, aspartic acid, serine, tyrosine, and cystine were found to be significantly higher in fish fed EP diets than those in fish fed MP diet. In considering overall performance of olive flounder, EP 2 diet could be recommended for the successful aquaculture of this important fish species.

“…Although growth performance parameters are the most commonly used in evaluating the efficiency of nutrition components in fish feeds, currently the evaluation of physiological status of fish has been an important source of information in these studies and, certainly, represents a great contribution for the success of the intensive aquatic production systems (ANDRADE et al, 2007).…”
