| description | The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary yeast polysaccharide (YPS) supplementation on the growth performance, whole-body composition, antioxidant capacity, and immunity of juvenile largemouth bass (<i>Micropterus salmoides</i>). In this study, five diets with YPS levels of 0.00% (control), 0.05% (0.05Y), 0.10% (0.10Y), 0.15% (0.15Y), and 0.20% (0.20Y) were designed and prepared. A total of 300 healthy fish (3.20 ± 0.03 g) were randomly divided into 15 floating cages (1 × 1 × 1 m) in five different groups, with three replicates per group, for an 8-week culture experiment. The 0.10Y and 0.20Y groups had significantly higher feed conversion ratios compared with the control group. There was no significant effect on any of the other growth indicators. Plasma biochemical indices showed that the 0.10Y group exhibited the highest plasma alkaline phosphatase content and the 0.20Y group exhibited the highest plasma glucose content. Plasma antioxidant indices (total antioxidant capacity, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione) and antioxidant genes (catalase and superoxide dismutase) were elevated in the 0.05Y or 0.10Y groups, and the malondialdehyde content decreased with increasing YPS concentration. Moreover, the 0.05Y group showed significantly higher immune-related gene (nuclear factor-kappa B, interleukin-8, and interleukin-10) mRNA expression. Altogether, our results indicate that dietary YPS supplementation enhances the antioxidant and immune capacity of <i>M. salmoides</i>, but with no positive effect on their growth. |
