Implication

Randomized trial evaluates growth and health outcomes in juvenile largemouth bass with varied protein diets, suggesting enhanced immune function with specific regimens.

Key Points

This study aims to determine how different protein feeding regimens affect the growth and health of juvenile largemouth bass.
Evaluated five protein regimens over 60 days with a control group on a constant 46% protein diet.
Seven hundred juvenile largemouth bass were randomly assigned to five groups with daily feed intake and weight measurements.
Post-trial assessments included serum biomarkers, immune markers, and intestinal microbiota analysis.
The LHH regimen significantly increased immunoglobulin M, complement C3 and C4, and total antioxidant capacity compared to the CON group.
The LHH group showed reduced Stenotrophomonas_A relative abundance.
Functional predictions indicated the downregulation of the renin-angiotensin system.
