Effects of dietary oxidized lipid and vitamin A on the early development and antioxidant status of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baeri) larvae
Abstract
A 4-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary oxidized lipid and vitamin A on the early ontogenesis and the antioxidant status of Siberian sturgeon larvae. Auto-oxidized capelin oil (peroxide value=245meq/kg) was added at 3 levels: 0, 40 and 80g/kg in semi-purified casein based diets containing either 22,500 or 772,500IU/kg vitamin A as retinyl acetate.
