Abstract

Rainbow trout is one of the main species of Salmonidae family. With high economic value and demand, large part of the aquaculture production has been allocated to this species. Therefore, study on diets that affect the feeding and growth can be a helpful way to improve trout culture. Seventy rainbow trout with an average weight of 170 ± 10 g were placed in 70-liters containers. Three treatments were considered for this study, including (0 (control), 400 and 800 mg/kg food). After fish were fed through different concentrations of vitamin C on days 5 and 10, fish were sampled for blood serum analysis. ALP activity in 400 and 800 mg/kg vitamin C groups on day 10 showed a statistically significant increase compared to control group (P<0/05). On days 5 and 10, ALT activity at 400 mg/kg vitamin C decreased significantly compared to control (P <0/05). On the fifth day, AST and ACP enzyme activity showed a significant difference (P<0/05) between the groups of 400 and 800 mg/kg vitamin C, it significantly increased compared to control (P<0/05). On day 10, AST enzyme activity showed a significant increase in 800 mg/kg vitamin C group compared to the other treatments (P<0/05). Overall, it can be concluded that 400 mg/kg vitamin C in the diet of rainbow trout has the ability to impact on the performance of ALT enzyme.
