“…Hence, one possible influence on the increase in the digestive enzymes' activities in the intestine may be attributed to the ability of AA to act as an important extracellular scavenger in vivo , preventing lipid peroxidation in the hepatopancreas. Similar trends on HSI were reported for hybrid striped bass ( Morone chrysops × Morone saxatilis ) (Sealey & Gatlin III 1999) and grouper (Lin & Shiau 2005b).…”

A 60-day experiment was carried out to study the e¡ects of vitamin C [ascorbic acid (AA)] on the growth, digestive enzyme activities and intestinal microbial population. Diets with six levels (0.0, 21.4, 45.1, 69.5, 93.6 and 142.1mg AA kg À 1 diet) of supplemental ascorbyl polyphosphate were fed to juvenile Jian carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Jian) (12.63 AE 0.02 g). The speci¢c growth rate (SGR), feed e⁄ciency and productive protein value were signi¢cantly improved with increasing AA levels up to 45.1mg AA kg À 1 diet (Po0.05). The hepatopancreas and muscle AA concentrations were increased with increasing dietary AA levels up to 69.5 and 45.1mg kg À 1 diet respectively (Po0.05). The activities of intestinal trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase, a-amylase, Na 1 , K 1 -ATPase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and creatinkinase were all positively a¡ected by the AA supplementation (Po0.05). Intestinal Lactobacillus and Bacillus were increased with increasing AA levels up to 45.1mg AA kg À 1 diet (Po0.05), while intestinal Escherichia coli decreased with increasing AA levels up to 45.1mg AA kg À 1 diet (Po0.05). In conclusion, AA improve the digestive capacity and intestinal microbial population of Jian carp, and the dietaryAA requirement for SGR of juvenile Jian carp was 40.9 mg AA kg À 1 diet.

“…The AA requirement estimated in the present study is similar to those of common carp (45.3 mg kg −1 , Gouillou‐Coustans et al 1998) and grouper, Epinephelus malabaricus Bloch and Schneider (45 mg kg −1 , Lin & Shiau 2005a). However, it is higher than those of channel catfish (15 mg kg −1 , Mustin & Lovell 1992), red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus Linneaus (15 mg kg −1 , Aguirre & Gatlin 1999), hybrid striped bass, Morone chrysops Rafinesque × Morone saxatilis Walbaum (22 mg kg −1 , Sealey & Gatlin 1999) and hybrid tilapia (15.98 mg kg −1 , Shiau & Hsu 1999), but lower than those of tilapia (100–200 mg kg −1 , Al‐Amoudi et al 1992), parrot fish (118 mg kg −1 , Wang et al 2003) and Japanese seabass (53.5 mg kg −1 , Ai et al 2004). The following reasons are probably responsible for these differences.…”

A 10‐week feeding trial was conducted to determine the optimal requirement of cobia (Rachycentron canadum Linneaus) for dietary ascorbic acid (AA). Graded levels of L‐ascorbyl‐2‐polyphosphate (LAPP) were supplemented in basal diet to formulate six semi‐purified diets containing 2.70 (the control diet), 8.47, 28.3, 80.6, 241 and 733 mg AA equivalent kg−1 diet, respectively. Each diet was randomly fed to triplicate groups of fish in flow‐through plastic tanks (300 L), and each tank was stocked with 25 fish with average initial weight of 4.59 ± 0.36 g. Observed deficiency signs included poor growth, higher mortality and lower feeding rate (FR) in the fish of the control group. Fish fed the control diet had significantly lower weight gain (WG), lower feed efficiency ratio (FER) and lower tissue AA concentrations in fish liver and muscle. With the increase of dietary AA, the survival, WG, FER, hepatic and muscular AA concentrations of cobia significantly increased and then levelled off. The dietary AA requirement of cobia was estimated to be 44.7 mg kg−1 based on WG, 53.9 mg kg−1 or 104 mg kg−1 based on either hepatic or muscular AA concentration, respectively.

“…The requirement of vitamin C varies, to some degree, with fish or shrimp species, size, diet and experimental conditions (Table ). For example, the minimum requirement to support optimal growth was estimated to be between 10 and 25 mg AA equivalent kg −1 diet for channel catfish (Mustin & Lovell ), rainbow trout (Cho & Cowey ), hybrid striped bass ( Morone chrysops × M. saxatilis ) (Sealey & Gatlin ) and hybrid tilapia (Shiau & Hsu ).…”

Vitamins are organic compounds that can be synthesized from other essential nutrients; however, they are required in trace amounts from an exogenous source for normal growth, reproduction and health. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, AA) is an essential micronutrient for normal growth and physiological function of most aquatic animals. In terrestrial animal nutrition, vitamin C has recently spurred scientific interest because of the increasing knowledge on vitamin C involvement in gene expression, cell cycle and reproduction in mammals; in addition, recent advances in molecular biology techniques allow the more effective estimation of the effect of vitamin C on metabolism and physiology. In contrast, this information is scarce in aquatic animal nutrition, as studies have essentially focused on the estimation of minimum vitamin C requirement for maximum growth and immune response as well as for the formulation of least‐cost diet. This scarcity of information is also due to the lack of well‐established indicators of vitamin C status in aquatic organisms. The present review summarizes and discusses information about vitamin C sources, bioavailability, deficiency and requirement in aquatic animals to plan further studies. In the future, vitamin C nutrition studies in aquaculture should also include immune responses, histopathology of the gills, liver, gonad development, gamete quality and quantity, fecundity, larvae survival and gene expression. Dietary vitamin C requirements should be estimated at every life‐history stage of cultured species. All this information will allow a better understanding of the essentiality of vitamin C in aquatic animal growth, development, reproduction and health.
