“…No presente trabalho, não se observou influência da vitamina A sobre os parâmetros produtivos; no entanto, em trabalho sobre a avaliação de diferentes quantidades de vitamina A na dieta, Guimarães (2009) relatou que tilápias-do-nilo alimentadas com 4.704 UI kg -1 apresentaram o melhor ganho de massa, porém, suplementações superiores a 200 UI kg -1 não influenciaram a conversão alimentar, e a maior retenção proteica foi obtida com 5.300 UI kg -1 de ração. Hu et al (2006) relataram que o melhor desempenho de tilápia híbrida (Oreochromis niloticus × O. aureus) foi obtido com 5.850 e 6.970 UI kg -1 . Saleh et al (1995) observaram exigência de 5.000 UI kg -1 em tilápia-do-nilo, o que mostra pouca variação de exigência vitamínica, entre os estudos.…”

“…Vários autores ressaltam que, em dieta isenta de vitamina A, é comum ocorrer mortalidade dos peixes (Saleh et al, 1995;Ørnsrud et al, 2002;Hu et al, 2006;Peil et al, 2007;Campeche et al, 2009;Guimarães, 2009). No entanto, não se observou influência sobre a sobrevivência em pacus alimentados Pesq.…”

“…Vários estudos mostraram particularidades das espécies sobre a composição da carcaça, em peixes alimentados com quantidades crescentes de vitamina A. Os resultados obtidos por Ørnsrud et al (2002), Mohamed et al (2003), Hernández et al (2005) e Hu et al (2006) ressaltam o aumento da percentagem de proteína na carcaça com a suplementação de vitamina A. Redução da matéria mineral da carcaça, com o aumento da quantidade de vitamina A, foram descritos em estudo sobre juvenis de garoupa Epinephelus tauvina (Mohamed et al, 2003). Por sua vez, o aumento da matéria mineral, em relação à vitamina A, foi descrito em salmão-do-atlântico (Salmo salar L.) (Ørnsrud et al, 2002) e em juvenis de tilápia híbrida (Oreochromis niloticus × O. aureus) (Hu et al, 2006). No entanto, em juvenis de falso-alabote-japonês (Paralichthys olivaceus), não foram observadas alterações (Hernández et al, 2005).…”

Hu et al (2006) descreveram que os valores de umidade e proteína da carcaça, em tilápia híbrida (Oreochromis niloticus × O. aureus), reduziram-se com o aumento da vitamina A na dieta, porém, não influenciaram a composição de lipídios e de matéria mineral da carcaça.…”

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da suplementação de vitamina A na alimentação de juvenis de pacu cultivados em tanques-rede. Foram utilizados 2.000 peixes, com peso inicial médio de 66,93±15,03 g, distribuídos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em 20 tanques-rede de 5,0 m³, com cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições. As rações foram formuladas com 0, 3.000, 6.000, 9.000 e 12.000 UI de vitamina A por quilograma de dieta, por meio da suplementação com acetato de retinol. O arraçoamento foi realizado às 8:30, 13:30 e 17:30 h, até a saciedade aparente dos animais. Não foram observadas diferenças quanto aos parâmetros de desempenho produtivo, rendimento e composição química da carcaça, e aos parâmetros hematológicos e lipídios no fígado dos peixes que foram alimentados com diferentes níveis de vitamina A. A suplementação de vitamina A em dietas para juvenis de pacu criados em tanques-rede não influencia o desempenho produtivo dos peixes.

“…Udo [29] demonstrated how dietary supplementation with vitamin A led to improved growth rate in C. gariepinus and recommended that 833-1666 IU/Kg units of vitamin A should be included in the diet for optimum growth and efficient feed utilization. Also, feed consumption and conversion efficiency, protein efficiency ratio, growth, percentage growth, relative growth rate, assimilation and metabolism were greatly improved in feeds supplemented with 400mg/Kg units of vitamin A [30].…”

The ever-increasing anthropogenic activities all over the world that usually led to release of plethora of pollutants such as lead calls for concern. In the present study the effects of lead nitrate on the production of antioxidants such as reduced glutathione (GSH) in C. gariepinus and how such effects can be ameliorated through administration of vitamins were investigated. C. gariepinus fingerlings (whose initial weight ranged from 3-11g) were exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of Pb (00, 26mg/L, 44mg/L, 61mg/L and 79mg/L) with replicate in each case. 26mg/L each of the vitamins were administered across all bud. Fresh concentrations of both toxicant and vitamins were administered every 72 hours for a period of 12 weeks every time the water medium was changed. The various treatments group include Pb (Pb only), PbVA (Pb+vitamin A), PbVC ((Pb+vitamin C) and PbVE (Pb+vitamin E) with T1-T4 and replicates in each case. 3 samples of the fish were randomly selected and sacrificed from each aquarium tank every 2 weeks of the exposure period. The gills, kidneys and liver were excised from these specimens and homogenized in sodium phosphate buffer. These were then assayed for GSH productions levels in each case. The data generated were subjected to one way analysis of variance and considered significant at P≤0.05. From the results: In the Pb only group, the mean values of the GSH produced in the liver of the control samples were significantly higher than other treatments. The highest mean values of 82.04±0.13µg/ml, 30.84±0.10µg/ml and 31.30±0.10µg/ml were obtained in the liver, kidney and gills of the fish, respectively. In fish samples exposed to PbVA group, the highest mean values of 23.57±0.10µg/ml, 58.74±0.07µg/ml and 52.72±0.07µg/ml were obtained in the liver, kidney and gills, respectively. In C. gariepinus exposed to PbVC group, the highest mean values obtained in the liver, kidneys and gills were 25.79±0.07µg/ml, 28.40±0.13µg/ml and 37.55±0.03µg/ml, respectively. In PbVE group, the highest mean value of 57.21±0.03µg/ml, 83.51±0.07µg/ml and 63.29±0.07µg/ml were btained in the liver, kidneys and gills, respectively. The liver of the samples exposed to Pb only group displayed higher level of response to the toxicant with the highest GSH produced in the lowest concentration in comparison to other fish organs. In the PbVA group the response was more in the kidney in the highest concentration. There were general low levels of production in all organs of the fish in the PbVC group. The kidneys of the PbVE group exhibited the highest level of GSH production in comparison to other organs. The kidneys and liver of C. gariepinus in this research were fully engaged in mitigating the effects of the toxicant in the presence of the vitamins. Administration of higher concentrations of the vitamins could enhance better understanding of the ameliorative roles of the vitamins against the deleterious effects of the toxicant.

Vitamin A requirement in fingerling common carp, Cyprinus carpio var. communis (1.64 ± 0.02 g; ABW ± SD), was evaluated by conducting a 10 week growth experiment. Casein-gelatin-based test diets representing six graded levels of vitamin A (0, 0.03, 0.07, 0.11, 0.15, and 0.19 g/kg, dry diet) were designed and fed to the triplicate group of fish at 08:00 and 16:00 hrs at the rate of 4% body weight per day. Growth parameters like live weight gain (LWG %), feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER), specific growth rate (SGR), and body protein deposition (BPD) improved significantly ( P < 0.05 ) with each elevated dietary vitamin A level and found maximum growth rate along with the best- FCR at 0.11 g/kg diet. Dietary vitamin A levels also significantly ( P < 0.05 ) affected haematological parameters of the fish. Highest haemoglobin (Hb), erythrocyte count (RBC), haematocrit content (Hct %), and lowest leucocyte count (WBC) were observed at 0.11 g/kg vitamin A fed diet compared to all the diets. Highest protein and lowest fat content were observed in the group of fingerlings fed with 0.11 g/kg vitamin A containing diet. Blood and serum profile also showed some significant ( P < 0.05 ) differences with elevating concentration of dietary vitamin A levels. Serum parameters like aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and cholesterol values decreased significantly ( P < 0.05 ) at 0.11 g/kg vitamin A fed diet compared to control diet. However, except albumin the other electrolytes improved significantly ( P < 0.05 ) and maximal values of these parameters were also evident at 0.11 g/kg of vitamin A fed diet. Better value of TBARS was found in the group that fed 0.11 g/kg vitamin A diet. Hepatosomatic index and condition factor improved significantly ( P < 0.05 ) with fish fed at optimal dose 0.11 g/kg of vitamin A diet. Based on quadratic regression analysis of LWG%, FCR, BPD, Hb, and calcium values of C. carpio var. communis against the varying levels of dietary vitamin A, an optimum growth, best FCR, higher BPD, Hb, and Ca values lie in the range of 0.10 to 0.12 g/kg diet, respectively. The data generated during this study would be important in developing vitamin A balanced feed for successful intensive culture of C. carpio var. communis.
