“…Except for endogenous antioxidants, there are exogenous antioxidants sources obtained from dietary supplementation, consisting of vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E), polyphenols, carotenoids, and oil lecithins, etc., which can serve as a good aids and complements [ 2 ]. Currently, dietary antioxidant supplementation is a hot topic in aquaculture: many related reports have been published on some aquatic species, like the greater amberjack ( Seriola dumerili , curcumin supplementation) [ 3 ], whiteleg shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei , vitamin E supplementation) [ 4 ], red sea bream ( Pagrus major , selenium nanoparticle supplementation) [ 5 ], and Chinese mitten crab ( Eriocheir sinensis , zinc supplementation) [ 6 ]. The addition of antioxidants to the diet is proven to be an effective method to improve animal immunity and growth performance.…”

Dietary antioxidant supplementation, especially astaxanthin, has shown great results on reproductive aspects, egg quality, growth, survival, immunity, stress tolerance, and disease resistance in aquatic animals. However, the effects of dietary astaxanthin supplementation from different sources are still unknown. A comprehensive comparison of survival, growth, immune response, antioxidant activity, thermal resistance, disease resistance, and intestinal microbial structure was conducted in dietary antioxidant supplementation from the sources of Gracilaria lemaneiformis (GL), industrial synthetic astaxanthin (80 mg/kg astaxanthin actual weight, named as group ‘SA80’), Phaffia rhodozyma (80 mg/kg astaxanthin actual weight, named as group ‘PR80’) and Haematococcus pluvialis (120 mg/kg astaxanthin actual weight, named as group ‘HP120’) at their optimal supplementation amounts. Furthermore, the SA80, PR80, and HP120 groups performed better in all aspects, including survival, growth, immune response, antioxidant activity, thermal resistance, and disease resistance, compared with the GL group. The PR80 and HP120 group also had a better growth performance than the SA80 group. In terms of heat stress and bacterial challenge, abalone in the PR80 group showed the strongest resistance. Overall, 80 mg/kg astaxanthin supplementation from Phaffia rhodozyma was recommended to obtain a more effective and comprehensive outcome. This study contributes to the discovery of the optimum dietary astaxanthin supplementation source for abalone, which is helpful to improve the production efficiency and economic benefits of abalone. Future research can further explore the action mechanism and the method of application of astaxanthin to better exploit its antioxidant role.
