Effects of Low-Fish-Meal Diet Supplemented with Coenzyme Q10 on Growth Performance, Antioxidant Capacity, Intestinal Morphology, Immunity and Hypoxic Resistance of .

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a low-fish-meal diet supplemented with coenzyme Q10 on the growth, antioxidant capacity, immunity, intestinal health and hypoxic resistance of . with an initial weight of 0.66 g were fed with the experimental diets for 56 days. Diets D1 (20% FM level) and D2-D7 (15% FM level), supplemented with 0%, 0.002%, 0.004%, 0.006%, 0.008% and 0.01% coenzyme Q10 were formulated. In terms of growth performance, the weight gain and specific growth rate in the D2 diet were significantly lower than those in the D1 diet ( < 0.05). The final body weight, weight gain and specific growth rate in the D2-D7 diets had an upward trend, and the condition factor in the D2-D7 diets was lower than those in the D1 diet ( < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the crude protein and crude lipid levels in the whole body among all diet treatments ( > 0.05). In terms of hepatopancreas antioxidant parameters, the D5 and D6 diets significantly promoted the total antioxidant capacity and total superoxide dismutase activity, and significantly decreased the malondialdehyde content ( < 0.05). The expression levels of , and in shrimp fed with the D5 and D6 diets were significantly higher than those of shrimp fed with the D2 diet ( < 0.05). In addition, the mRNA level of was increased in the D4 and D5 diets, and expression was increased in the D6 diet compared with the D1 diet ( < 0.05). The villus height of shrimp fed with diets supplemented with coenzyme Q10 was significantly increased ( < 0.05), and the intestinal thickness and submucosal thickness of shrimp fed with the D6 diet were the highest ( < 0.05). After acute hypoxia stress, lethal dose 50 time in the D3-D7 diets was significantly increased compared with the D1 and D2 diets ( < 0.05), and the highest value was found in the D4 diet ( < 0.05). After stress, the expression levels of TLR pathway-related genes (, , , and in the D4 and D6 diets were significantly increased compared with the D2 diet. In general, fed with the D6 diet achieved the best growth, antioxidant capacity, immunity, and intestinal morphology among all low FM diets and D4-D6 diets improved hypoxic resistance.
