| Description: |
In the present study, the effects of dietary supplementation of low molecular weight sodium alginate on growth, body composition, anti-oxidant enzymes, digestive enzymes, and immune response in yellowfin sea bream juvenile ( Acanthopagrus latus ) were investigated. Fish (n=180) were divided into 3 groups with 3 replicates and received dietary treatments including basal diet without sodium alginate (control treatment), basal diet containing 5 g sodium alginate per kg diet (0.5% treatment), and 10 g sodium alginate per kg diet (1% treatment) for 8 weeks. The results showed that the final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, condition factor, feed conversion, and protein efficiency ratios did not reveal a significant improvement compared to the control treatment (P>0.05). The obtained results indicated that dietary sodium alginate did not affect body composition (P>0.05). The activity of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the groups fed on 0.5 and 1% sodium alginate showed a significant increase (P |
