  Zinc is an essential trace mineral to fish and vital to various biological processes and function. The artificial diets offered to intensively cultivated fish must possess the zinc content required by the animal metabolism for health maintenance and high weight gain. However, essential elements must also be in an available form to be utilized by the organism. Thus, this study was designed to evaluate the effects of different zinc forms, including organic zinc (zinc amino acid complex) and inorganic zinc (zinc sulfate) as feed additives in diets on in vitro protein digestibility, growth performance, feed utilization, digestive enzyme activity, immune response and muscle quality of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer). The study was assigned in CRD with 3 treatments and 3 replicates. Three groups of fish with mean weight 22.54 ± 0.80 g, were given a basal diet eithe.. View more»
