Dietary green tea extract improves growth performance, body composition, and stress recovery in the juvenile black rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli

“…However, in the latter study the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) in chicken thigh meat decreased, and DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging activity increased in a dose-dependent manner. In rockfish, dietary inclusion of green tea extract lowered weight gain and FE, but improved lipid utilization, lysozyme activity and stress recovery (Hwang et al, 2013).…”

“…In contrast, Kim et al (2010b) reported that the dietary inclusion of YC could potentially reduce lipid storage of rats fed a high cholesterol diet as the YC supplement might improve serum, liver and adipose tissue lipid metabolism. Administration of green tea extract has been shown to lower total lipid content in rockfish (Hwang et al, 2013). The ash content of fish fed the Con diet was significantly higher than of fish fed the other diets, followed by the BC and YC diets.…”

“…A variety of feeding trials has been performed with the species to determine dietary nutrient requirements (Kim et al, 2001;Lee et al, 2002;Yan et al, 2007), the digestibility of various feed ingredients (Lee, 2002), alternative animal and/or plant protein sources for fish meal in the diet (Lee et al, 1996), optimum feeding rate depending on temperature (Mizanur et al, 2014), optimum feeding frequency (Lee et al, 2000), dietary additives to improve lysozyme activity and stress recovery (Hwang et al, 2013), and immune response (Kim et al, 1999).…”

Effect of Dietary Addition of Green Tea Camellia sinensis, on Growth, Body Composition and Hematic Biochemistry of the Asian Seabass Lates calcarifer Fingerlings

“…Green tea has been shown to contain various types of catechins, including more than 70% polyphenols, vitamins, nitrogenous compounds, caffeine, inorganic elements, lipids and carbohydrates [16], and interest is continuously growing with regard to green tea's various beneficial health effects. Despite its excellent potential, little studies have thus far evaluated its potential use in the aquaculture practices [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Therefore we attempted to study the effect of dietary addition of green tea (Camellia sinensis) on growth, body composition and serum biochemistry of a little studied commercially important species Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) commonly called the giant sea perch or barramundi.…”

“…Asian seabass is a euryhaline species belongs to the Centropomidae (snook) family widely distributed in the Indo-West pacific region and shown considerable potential as a suitable aquaculture candidate worldwide because of its delicately flavored flesh and high market demand. Although it has proven as one of the best candidate for fresh and marine aquaculture practices worldwide few studies have been published concerning its growth/nutritional aspects [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. To the best of our knowledge, it is very hard to find a publication about the usage of green tea as dietary additive on the growth performance and serum biochemistry of Asian seabass fingerlings which is the main objective of the current study.…”
