Combined effect of vitamin C and vitamin E microdiets for gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata)

Abstract

Vitamins C (AA) and vitamin E (α-T) are two of the most important micro-nutrients for fish aquaculture especially larvae aquaculture. An experiment was carried out to study the effect dietary AA with several levels ofα-T. Gilthead sea bream larvae were fed five formulated experimental diets MM, MH, HL, HM, HH (AA/α-T) combining two different dietary levels ofα-T (M: medium 1500 mg kg~(-1), H: high 3000 mg kg~(-1)) with up to three different levels of AA (L: low 0 mg kg~(-1,) M: medium 630 mg kg~(-1), H: high 1260 mg kg~(-1)) using triplicates.
