Effects of dietary oxidized lipid and vitamin A on the early development and antioxidant status of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baeri) larvae

An increased oxidative stress in Siberian sturgeon larvae fed oxidized lipid may account for their poor growth and survival and high occurrence of deformed fish. A high dietary supplementation with vitamin A allowed to counteract partially the negative effects of dietary oxidized lipid, suggesting antioxidant properties of dietary vitamin A. However the precise role of dietary vitamin A on negative effects due to oxidized lipid in Siberian sturgeon larvae remains unclear.
