“…Undoubtedly, the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties inherent in chitosan molecules significantly contributed to the preservation of intestinal and hepatic tissue integrity, thereby facilitating lipid metabolism within the organism [61]. Third, the chitosan-fat complex formed by chitosan in the digestive tract synergistically interacted with fatty acids and other substances, thereby augmenting the intestinal absorption of bile acids, facilitating the repair of fish intestinal damage induced by cadmium stress, and promoting the digestion and absorption of accumulated lipids in the fish intestine [62,63]. Fourth, the activation of chitosan on ppar could effectively suppress the NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby attenuating systemic inflammation, and facilitating in vivo fatty acid synthesis [64,65].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary chitosan supplementation on the muscle composition, digestion, lipid metabolism, and stress resistance, and their related gene expression, of juvenile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) subjected to cadmium (Cd2+) stress. Juvenile tilapia with an initial body weight of 21.21 ± 0.24 g were fed with a formulated feed containing five different levels (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0%) of chitosan for 60 days, while the water in all experimental groups contained a Cd2+ concentration of 0.2 mg/L. The results showed that, compared with the control group (0% chitosan), the contents of crude fat and crude protein in the muscle, the activities of lipase, trypsin, and amylase in the intestine, as well as the relative expression levels of metallothionein (mt), cytochrome P450 1A (cyp1a), carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (cpt-1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (pparα), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (pparγ), hormone-sensitive lipase (hsl), lipoprotein lipase (lpl), malate dehydrogenase (mdh), leptin (lep), fatty acid synthase (fas), sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (srebp1), and stearoyl-CoA desaturase (scd) genes in the liver of juveniles were significantly increased (p < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary chitosan supplementation could alleviate the effects of Cd2+ stress on the muscle composition, digestive enzymes, lipid metabolism, and stress resistance, and their related gene expression, of juvenile tilapia, and to some extent reduce the toxic effect of Cd2+ stress on tilapia.

“…Akbary and Younesi [14] studied the effect of dietary chitosan at similar concentrations on the growth of grey mullet (Mugil cephalus), and the results showed that diets containing 10 and 15 g•kg −1 of chitosan improved growth rates. Similarly, the inclusion of chitosan at a higher level of 20 g•kg −1 in the diet of European carp (Cyprinus carpio) decreased fish mortality and enhanced growth under stress conditions [32].…”

This study aimed to evaluate the growth performance, feed utilisation, digestive and metabolic enzyme activity, and liver histology in juveniles of hybrid red tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus × Oreochromis niloticus) fed with the inclusion of chitosan in their diet. Six dietary chitosan levels (0 “control’’, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 g kg−1) were used to feed juvenile fish (initial weight 7.50 ± 0.20 g) that were cultured for eight weeks in 18 tanks at a density of 15 fish/tank. The growth performance presented significant differences (p ˂ 0.05) for weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, hepatosomatic index, and survival rate. The digestive and metabolic enzyme activities were significantly (p < 0.05) influenced by the levels of chitosan in the administered diet. Histologically, no damage was found in the liver; however, morphometrically, a significant difference (p < 0.05) was found in the hepatocyte area and sinusoid area. Vacuolisation of hepatocytes was found in treatments with 40 and 50 g kg−1 of chitosan in the diet. Treatments with doses of chitosan showed a better response (p < 0.05) compared to the control treatment in most of the different groups of variables analysed. The result of the principal component analysis suggests that a diet containing 40 g kg−1 of chitosan is optimal for tilapia growth performance.

“…Considering the positive effects of chitosan on farmed fish (B.T. et al, 2022; Li et al, 2023; Stanek et al, 2023), chitosan's effects on A. stellatus feeding remain relatively uncharted. Given chitosan's varying efficacies across species based on numerous factors like age, environment, and diet which is the most important factor of the species (Xu et al, 2023), our study sought to elucidate chitosan's multifaceted roles in A. stellatus physiology and nutrition.…”

As sturgeon breeding has proliferated, there has been a heightened demand for growth stimulators in their diets. This study aimed to determine the impact of dietary chitosan on growth performance, whole‐body proximate composition, growth‐related gene expression, and intestinal histology in juvenile Acipenser stellatus. A total of 180 A. stellatus juveniles with an average weight of 31.90 ± 0.73 g were fed with diets containing 0 (control), 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 g chitosan.kg−1 basic diet for eight weeks. The findings revealed a significant enhancement in growth performance with rising chitosan concentrations. Furthermore, chitosan supplementation upregulated the expression of the growth hormone gene in both brain and liver tissues. In liver samples, the most pronounced expression of the insulin‐like growth factor‐1 gene was noted at 6.0 g chitosan.kg−1, while in brain samples, peak expressions were observed in both the 4.5 and 6.0 g chitosan.kg−1 treatments. While the whole‐body proximate composition remained relatively stable, there was a notable decrease in whole‐body lipids with the escalation of chitosan dosage. Intestinal villi dimensions, both height and width, were amplified in the chitosan‐supplemented groups compared to controls. In summation, chitosan supplementation showed promise in bolstering growth performance, refining intestinal morphology, and enhancing growth‐related gene expression. Analysis of the polynomial regression of weight gain and specific growth rate revealed that the optimum dietary chitosan requirements in A. stellatus were 5.32 and 5.21 g chitosan.kg−1, respectively.
