Impact of dietary vitamin e supplementation on the reproductive performance and egg and larval quality of snubnose pompano (Trachinotus blochii) Broodstock

Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of dietary vitamin E supplementation on the reproductive performance and the quality of eggs and larvae in snubnose pompano (Trachinotus blochii). Broodstock were fed diets supplemented with vitamin E at 0, 250, 500, 750, and 1,000 mg/kg for 30 days before induced spawning. Results showed that vitamin E significantly improved the maturation rates of both males and females, with the highest values observed in the 750 mg/kg group (90.47% for males and 89.66% for females) (P
