Effects of vitamin C supplementation on growth performance and immune responses of juvenile Waigieu seaperch (Psammoperca waigiensis)

Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the effects of vitamin C supplement on growth performance and immune responses of Waigieu seaperch (Psammoperca waigiensis) at juvenile stage, 90 fish of an average initial weight of (33 ± 0.1 g and 14. ± 0.1 cm) were stocked in 10 tanks (20 L) during 30 days and fed with different level of supplemented feed with vitamin C 0, 150, and 400 mg/kg with three replicates for each and fed twice a day 8:00 and 16:00 hr. At the end of experiment both growth and hematological parameters were determined, results revealed that there was no significant difference in survival ratio (SR) was observed during among the experimental groups, fish fed with 400 mg/kg had significantly (P
