Overview

This study demonstrates that vitamin C supplementation improves growth and heat stress resistance in largemouth bass, indicating a beneficial dietary intervention.

Key Points

  • Vitamin C supplementation significantly enhances growth performance in largemouth bass juveniles under heat stress.
  • The VC4 group exhibited lower liver enzyme levels before and after induced heat stress, suggesting improved health.
  • Antioxidant capacity was notably higher in fish supplemented with vitamin C, particularly in groups VC3 through VC5.
  • Vitamin C also regulated inflammatory and apoptosis-related gene expression, enhancing heat tolerance and resilience.
