“…Hu, Chen, Pan and Huang () showed the result that crude protein increased significantly with vitamin A level of 6,000–18,000 IU/kg fed to hybrid tilapia, and moisture of body decreased significantly with vitamin A level of 6,000 and 50,000 IU/kg. The significant decrease in crude ash with vitamin A level of 4,105 IU/kg and the significant increase in crude lipid with vitamin A level of 5,751 IU/kg were found on growing gibel carp (Shao et al., ). The crude lipid and crude ash content showed a decreased trend but crude protein content increased according to Mohamed et al.…”

“…Besides, vitamin A‐unsupplemented diet caused liver damage and reduced liver size (Guimarães et al., ). The positive effect of vitamin A on growth can be partly due to regulating gene expressions involved in insulin‐like growth factor I (IGF‐1; Chambéry, De & Babajko, ), and enhancing the immune, metabolism, and intestine health (Shao et al., ; Zhang et al., ).…”

“…Shao et al. () reported that the plasma T‐AOC of gibel carp fed dietary vitamin A (273–5,751 IU VA/kg diet) was significantly improved at the levels of 1,962 and 3,155 IU/kg diet and then decreased at higher level of 4,105 IU/kg diet. However, no significant change about activity of SOD, CAT, and GSH‐Px and MDA concentration was found.…”

“…Basically, vitamin A compounds are the retinol, retinal, and retinyl esters. It plays an important role in vision (Kemp, Jacobson, Faulkner & Walt, ; Tajmir‐Riahi, Agudelo & Bourassa, ), immunity (Jason et al., ; Yang, Yuan, Tao & Wang, ), growth (Guimarães, Pezzato, Santos, Orsi & Barros, ; Liu et al., ), oxidation resistance (Battisti et al., ; Jin et al., ; Zaidi & Banu, ), and even glucose or lipid metabolism (Howell & Chen, ; Li, Li, Chen & Chen, ; Li, Liu & Chen, ; Shao et al., ; Wei & Guoxun, ; Yang et al., ). Nutritional requirements of vitamin A have been widely studied in marine or freshwater aquatic animal, such as juvenile Grass Shrimp ( Penaeus monodon ; Shiau & Chen, ), juvenile greasy grouper ( Epinephelus tauvina ; Mohamed et al., ), Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ; Guimarães, Lim, Yildirim‐Aksoy, Li & Klesius, ), juvenile Wuchang bream ( Megalobrama amblycephala ; Liu et al., ), and juvenile orange spotted grouper, ( Epinephelus coioides ; Yang et al., ).…”

Any nutrient absent or superfluous can do damage to the biological health, which includes the vitamin A. Vitamin A deficiency can suppress the immune function, growth, feed utilization, and cause skeletal malformations of fish (David et al., ; Liu et al., ; Shao et al., ; Zhang et al., ). Hypervitaminosis A leads to mortality, vertebral deformities, and decreased growth (David et al., ; Ornsrud, Graff, Hoie, Totland & Hemre, ) because of toxicity probably.…”

A 56‐day growth trial was performed to dietary vitamin A (VA) requirement of Sillago sihama Forsskál (S. sihama) with an initial weight of 2.05 ± 0.15 g (mean ± SE). Quadruplicate groups of 40 juveniles per tank were fed with diets containing 362, 751, 1,141, 2,202, 4,335, 8,230, and 18,932 IU VA/kg diet respectively. Haemorrhages, erosion, greater mortality, and sluggish movement were found in fish of the control, whereas fish fed the 18,932 IU VA/kg diet appeared poor appetite. The weight gain rate (WG), specific growth rate (SGR) were highest at the level of 2,202 IU VA/kg diet, and the feed conversion ratio (FCR) showed the minimum at the same level. Compared with the control, groups 1,141–18,932 IU VA/kg showed significantly higher hepatic lysozyme (LZM) activity. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) at level of 751–4,335 IU VA/kg increased significantly than it in the control and reached a plateau after 4,335 IU VA/kg. Alkaline phosphatase (AKP) decreased significantly at level of 8,230–18,932 IU VA/kg diet than it in the control. Total antioxidation capability (T‐AOC), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐Px) in liver tended to increase and kept stable at level of 8,230 and 18,932 IU VA/kg diet. Fish fed 2,202 IU VA/kg diet showed significantly higher intestinal Na+‐K+ ATPase activity than it in other groups. The broken‐line model based on WG and maximum liver VA concentration indicated that the VA requirement was of 2,516 and 4,334 IU VA/kg respectively.

In the past decade, different groups of additives (probiotics, oligosaccharides, and plant extracts) have been widely researched and used in worldwide aquaculture. Recently, other groups, such as biopolymers (e.g., poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate) with prebiotic properties, have been investigated. Among biopolymers, the use of pure polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA; composition = 95–100%) as a feed additive in aquaculture has not been studied yet. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to research the effects of four supplementation levels of pure PHA on growth, survival, feed and nutrient utilization, apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs), and hematology of Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were designed, including a control (C) diet without PHA supplementation. Remaining diets were supplemented with the following levels of PHA: PHA 0.1% (basal diet + 0.1% PHA), PHA 0.5% (basal diet + 0.5% PHA), PHA 1.0% (basal diet + 1.0% PHA), and PHA 2.0% (basal diet + 2.0% PHA). After a 70‐d feeding test period, the PHA 0.5% and PHA 1.0% experimental groups showed significantly higher final body weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, lipid efficiency and productive value, and ADCs of lipid and energy compared to those of the C group. Protein efficiency ratio was significantly higher in fish fed the PHA 0.1%, PHA 0.5%, and PHA 1.0% diets compared to the C group. Protein productive value significantly increased in the PHA 1.0% group. The ADC of protein was significantly higher in fish fed diets supplemented with any level of PHA compared to C fish. Regarding hematological parameters, hematocrit value showed a significant increase in fish fed PHA 0.1% compared to the C group. Leukocyte composition (%) did not show significant differences among experimental groups. Based on polynomial regression analysis, the optimum inclusion levels of PHA in Nile Tilapia diets were 0.82–0.92% for growth performance, 1.0–1.1% for nutrient utilization, 1.0–1.2% for ADCs, and 1.34% for hematocrit. Cost–benefit ratio analysis revealed nonsignificant but numerical differences among experimental diets. Results suggest that pure PHA, when supplemented at 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0%, has certain positive effects on growth, nutrient and feed utilization, and ADCs without compromising Nile Tilapia hematology or health.
