Effects of Barranca yajiagengensis Powder in the Diet of Trachinotus ovatus on the Growth Performance, Antioxidant Capacity, Immunity and Morphology of the Liver and Intestine

Barranca yajiagengensis, a novel filamentous microalga, can accumulate lutein under high-light and low-nitrogen conditions. It is well known that lutein has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of including lutein-rich...

description Barranca yajiagengensis, a novel filamentous microalga, can accumulate lutein under high-light and low-nitrogen conditions. It is well known that lutein has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of including lutein-rich B. yajiagengensis powder in the diet of Trachinotus ovatus on the growth performance, antioxidant capacity, immunity, liver, and intestinal morphology. For this aim, three experimental diets containing 0% (BY0), 1% (BY1), and 5% (BY5) B. yajiagengensis powder were formulated for six-week feeding trials. The results indicated that growth performance, feed utilization, and intestinal morphology were not affected by different diet treatments. Fish fed with the BY5 diet promoted antioxidant ability by activating the Nrf2-ARE signal pathway and enhancing antioxidant enzymes activities. Furthermore, the BY5 diet improved non-specific immunity and antibacterial ability by activating lysozymes and the complement system and increasing the nitric oxide (NO) content and total nitric oxide synthase activity. Dietary B. yajiagengensis supplementation improved the liver morphology and exerted hepatoprotective effects. Therefore, as a natural source of lutein, B. yajiagengensis has the potential as a safe and non-toxic immunostimulant for T. ovatus. A diet supplemented with 5% B. yajiagengensis is recommended to improve the growth, antioxidant capacity, immune response, and liver health of T. ovatus.
