“…This result was similar with the results reported by Hernandez (2005). However, Mohamed et al (2003), Hemre et al (2004) and Yang et al (2008) draw the opposite results that VA deficiency in the diet increased mortality. The different results may be involved in the size of the experimental fish and the feeding period of the diet (Moren et al 2004).…”

“…There were many VA deficiency symptoms reported in fish, such as depressed feed consumption (Saleh et al 1995), hemorrhages in eyes, fins and skin (Moren et al 2004), cataract (Moren et al 2004, Hemre et al 2004, photophobia (Hu et al 2006), bone deformities (Yang et al 2008) and lack of pelvic fins (Mazurais et al 2009). In this study, vertebral deformities were visibly observed in grass carp, and the incidence of this deformity in 68 IU/kg group was much higher than that in 328 IU/kg group, which may suggest the indispensability of VA to the skeletal development.…”

“…VA deficiency can lead to photophobia, exophthalmos, cataract, retinal degeneration, growth delay, fin hemorrhage, lack of pelvic fins, skeletal deformities and even increased mortality (Hu et al, 2006, Moren et al, 2004, Hemre et al, 2004, Mazurais et al, 2009, Yang et al, 2008. Whereas when feeding too much VA, fish also would show growth retardation, increased mortality, vertebral deformities and fin necrosis phenomenon (Dedi et al, 1995, Takeuchi et al, 1998, Mohamed et a1., 2003.…”

A 12-week growth study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin A (VA) on growth performance, blood biochemical indices and body composition of grass carp. Six isonitrogenous and isoenergetic semi-purified diets were compounded with different VA level at 68, 328, 599, 1327, 2584 and 4769 IU/kg diet, respectively. The specific growth rate (SGR) increased significantly (P<0.05) with dietary VA level, and the highest SGR value was at 4769 IU/kg group. However, the feed conversion ratio (FCR), feeding rate (FR) and survival rate (SR) of juvenile grass carp were not significantly affected by dietary VA level (P>0.05). As the VA level increased, hepatosomatic index (HSI) increased significantly, peaked at the 1327 IU/kg group (P<0.05), and then showed a decreasing trend. Serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the control group was significantly lower than those in other groups and then increased with dietary VA level. Whereas, serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity first increased and then decreased with dietary VA level, reaching the highest point at 1327 IU/kg group. No significant difference was observed on the whole body composition among treatments (P>0.05). In conclusion, appropriate dietary vitamin A supplementation could be helpful for the growth and antioxidant capacity of grass carp.

“…Vitamin A deficiency reduced intestinal fold height in juvenile Jian carp, Cyprinus carpio var. Jian (Yang et al, 2008) and the AKP activity of the brush border membrane in juvenile Atlantic halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus (Moren et al, 2004). Nevertheless, little is known about the influences of dietary vitamin A on digestibility and activities of other intestinal enzymes in aquatic animals.…”

“…After the growth trial, five fish with a similar body weight were removed from each aquarium and moved to a tank with the same conditions, allowed to adapt to the culture conditions for 5 days, and then kept for another 17 days in a challenge trial. Fish were challenged by intraperitoneal injection with Aeromonas hydrophila (10 10 cfu mL -1 , LD 50 ) at a dose of 0.5 mL fish -1 by the method reported in [21]. The experiment conditions were the same as in the growth trial.…”

The present study was performed to investigate the effect of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on the growth performance, immune parameters and disease resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila of juvenile Jian carp. A total of 900 juvenile Jian carp (10.71 +/- 0.02 g) were randomly allocated into six groups of each three replicates, feeding isonitrogenous (35% crude protein) and isolipidic (7.8% crude fat) diets containing graded amounts of CLA (0, 0.5, 0.8, 1.4, 1.7, and 2.0%) for 60 days. After a 60-day growth test, a challenge trial was conducted by intraperitoneal injection of Aeromonas hydrophila to determine the effect of CLA on disease resistance of juvenile Jian carp. The results showed that diets incorporated with a proportion of up to 2.0% CLA without effect on weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio, but improved immune parameters and disease resistance of juvenile Jian carp. The dietary CLA level of optimal disease resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila was estimated to be 1.7% in juvenile Jian carp using broken-line analysis.
