“…Beyond phagocytosis mechanism, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is involved in leukocyte migration and retarded hyper sensibility. It also participates in the mutagenic proliferation of lymphocytes, in the increase of the level of serum complements and in the production of interferon; therefore, it is considered as anti-infection vitamin (Soliman, et al, 1994). Also, these data are in harmony with those obtained by ( Lirancoet al, 2013) reported that tilapia that had received the diet supplemented with β-glucan in a period of 90 days showed a favorable condition of the immune system.…”

“…Os resultados do presente estudo podem estar relacionados às propriedades atribuídas à vitamina C, como os relatados por Thomas e Holf (apud Soliman et al 1994), de que a vitamina C está relacionada com a proliferação mitogênica de linfócitos, no aumento do nível de complementos séricos e na produção de interferon, considerando-a como vitamina antiinfecciosa (Soliman et al, 1994), também maximizando a ação das células de defesa frente a agentes patogênicos, favorecendo a integridade e a fluidez das membranas (Brake, 1997).…”

“…Em relação ao desenvolvimento dos alevinos, este estudo discorda da avaliação feita por Soliman et al (1994), que observaram maior desenvolvimento dos alevinos com a suplementação de 1250 mg/kg de ração, enquanto no presente trabalho não foi observada diferença significativa entre os níveis, discordando também do trabalho realizado com alevinos de tilápias híbridas (O. nilóticus x O. aureus) por Shiau e Hsu (1995a e b), que obtiveram ganho de peso significativamente maior em tilápias suplementadas com 50 mg de vitamina C por kg de ração e de Moreau et al (1999), ao observarem que a vitamina C não contribuiu para o ganho de peso em esturjões.…”

RESUMO. Avaliou-se diferentes níveis de vitamina C na ração sobre a ocorrência de ectoparasitas, sobrevivência e biomassa total em alevinos de tilápia do Nilo, Oreochromis. Niloticus L. (Perciformes, Cichlidae) pós-revertidos, durante 57 dias. Alevinos com aproximadamente 0,30g e 24mm foram submetidos a 4 dietas contendo: 300 mg (T1), 600 mg (T2), 900 mg (T3) e 1200 mg (T4) de vitamina C por kg de ração. Inicialmente, a ocorrência de ectoparasitas foi de 100%, 38% de Trichodina e 62% de infecção mista (Trichodina + monogenéticos). Ao final não houve diferença significativa para ocorrência acumulada total, para Trichodina e infecção mista. Considerando a ocorrência dos monogenéticos, houve diferenças significativas entre o T1 e os demais. Em relação aos horários de coleta, foi encontrada uma diferença significativa na ocorrência entre o horário das 15h em relação aos demais horários. Em relação ao peso, comprimento médio total e padrão, biomassa e sobrevivência, não houve diferenças significativas. Conclui-se, então, que é desnecessário o uso de vitamina C em níveis superiores a 300mg/Kg de ração, sendo suficiente para atingir as exigências nutricionais a alevinos de tilápias criados em regime de manejo controlado. Palavras-chave:Oreochromis niloticus, vitamina C, ectoparasitas, alevinos, horário.ABSTRACT. Different vitamin levels C in the ration on the ectoparasitas occurrence, survival and total biomassa in Nile tilápia fingerlings (O. niloticus L.). Different vitamin levels C in the ration on the ectoparasitas occurrence, survival and total biomass in fingerlings of Nile tilápia Oreochromis. Niloticus L. (Perciformes, Cichlidae) were evaluated after sexual reversion, for 57 days. Fingerlings began the experiment with approximately 0,30g and 24mm and were submitted to four diets with 300-mg (T1), 600-mg (T2), and 900mg-(T3) e 1200-mg (T4) of vitamin C/kg of ration. In the beginning the ectoparasites occurrence was of 100%, 38,0% of Trichodina and 62,0% of mixed infection (Trichodina and monogenetics). At the end, there was not significant difference for total occurrence, for Trichodina and mixed infection. Considering the occurrence of the monogeneas there were significant differences between T1 and the others. In relation to the schedules of collection, a significant difference was found in the occurrence among the schedule of the 15:00 compared to the other schedules. No significant differences were observed in relation to weigh, total and standard medium length, biomass and survival, though. Results indicated that it is unnecessary to use vitamin C in superior levels to the 300-ration mg/Kg, enough to reach the tilápias fingerlings' nutritional needs, bred in controlled system.

A study was conducted to evaluate tissue storage and mobilisation of L-ascorbic acid (AA) in the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baeri) fed three different experimental diets. The three treatments consisted of a diet devoid of vitamin C (diet A0) and two diets supplemented with equivalent of 300 mg AA kg(-1) in the form of either silicone-coated ascorbic acid (diet SC) or of ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (diet AP). During the first phase (4 months) of the trial, six batches of 130 Siberian sturgeon (initial body weight: 25.5±0.5 g) each were fed one of the three diets in duplicate. During the second phase (3 months), fish from groups SC and AP were switched to diet A0 and those fed diet A0 during the first phase were switched to diet SC. Irrespective of the dietary treatment, growth rates were not significantly different from each other. At the end of phase I, in all tissues studied, total ascorbic acid (TAA) concentrations were higher in Siberian sturgeon fed diet AP than in the other two groups. During phase II, tissue ascorbate depletion was also higher in the AP group than in the other two groups. Transfer of the AA-free diet fed group onto a diet supplemented with 300 mg AA kg(-1) (diet SC) led to a slight increase in the TAA concentrations in all tissues. Blood plasma tyrosine concentrations were not significantly different between the three groups. Whole-body collagen levels were affected by dietary AA levels or forms at the end of phase I; the differences were not significant at the end of phase II. Muscle collagen levels were slightly affected. L-Gulonolactone oxidase activity was found in the kidney of Siberian sturgeon, but not in the liver. The ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate appears to be either better utilised by Siberian sturgeon, like in many other teleosts, or more stable than the silicone-coated AA during food processing and storage. Presence of L-gulonolactone oxidase activity in Siberian sturgeon kidney combined with the absence of gross scorbutic signs in AA-free diet fed groups expressing very good growth rates suggested no need of dietary AA byA. baeri.
