L-ascorbic acid (ASA) is a micronutrient that is essential for reproduction, growth, and immunity in animals. Due to the loss of enzyme L-gulono-1,4-lactone oxidase (GLO), most aquatic animals lack the capacity for ASA biosynthesis and therefore require supplementation with exogenous ASA. Recent studies have shown that 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2KGA), a novel potential precursor of ASA, can enhance plant growth and improve stress resistance by promoting the synthesis and accumulation of ASA. Our hypothesis is that 2-keto-L-gulonic acid (2KGA) plays a similar role in aquatic animals. To investigate this, we conducted an in vivo trial to examine the effects of exogenous 2KGA supplementation on ASA metabolism and growth of zebrafish (Danio rerio). Zebrafish were categorized into groups based on their dietary intake, including a basal diet (CK group), a basal diet supplemented with 800 mg/kg ASA (ASA group), and 800 mg/kg 2KGA-Na (2KGA group) for a duration of three weeks. The results demonstrated a significant increase in ASA content in zebrafish treated with 2KGA (34.82% increase, p < 0.05) compared to the CK group, reaching a consistent level with the ASA group (39.61% increase, p < 0.05). Furthermore, the supplementation of 2KGA significantly improved growth parameters relevant to zebrafish (specific growth rate increased by 129.04%, p < 0.05) and enhanced feed utilization (feed intake increased by 15.65%, p < 0.05). Positive correlations were observed between growth parameters, feed utilization, whole-body chemical composition, and ASA content. Our findings suggest that supplementation with exogenous 2KGA can serve as a novel approach for elevating ASA synthesis in aquatic animals, and further investigation of its underlying mechanism is required.

This study was done to appraise the effects of the combination of dietary Gracilaria pulvinata and Sargassum ilicifolium on growth, immunity, and fatty acid profile in Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer). A total of 540 juveniles (36.06 ± 0.05 g) were stocked into eighteen 200 L tanks and divided into six experimental treatments, each in triplicate. Fish were fed diets containing 0 (control), 3% (SW3), 6% (SW6), 9% (SW9), 12% (SW12), and 15% (SW15) mixtures of both seaweeds powder in equal proportions (1 : 1) for 56 days. There was no improvement in weight gain parameters. Serum lysozyme and peroxidase activities in SW9 and SW12 treatments were significantly higher in compare to other treatments. The highest activities of skin mucus lysozyme, alkaline phosphatase, and total protease were observed in the SW12. Liver igf-1, il-1β, il-8, and lysozyme expression showed a rising trend up to SW9 and then decreased. Liver antioxidant enzymes activity and glutathione content showed a similar pattern of changes. Liver total antioxidant capacity was highest in the SW9 treatment, while the lowest value of liver malondialdehyde was observed in the 12% seaweed treatment. The amount of total n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially docosahexaenoic acid, was higher in the SW12 and SW15 treatments in compare to others. Our findings suggest that adding 9%–12% of Gracilaria and Sargassum seaweed powder to the diet improves serum and mucosal immunity, antioxidant status, and fatty acid profile in L. calcarifer juveniles.
