Medium-chain fatty acid triglycerides (MCTs) possess antibacterial, antiviral, nutritional, and other biological activities and have demonstrated significant application potential in humans and terrestrial animals. In recent years, with the development of the green aquaculture industry, MCTs have been gradually applied to aquaculture animals, which can enhance growth performance, improve flesh quality, regulate lipid metabolism, boost immune activity, and modulate the intestinal flora, thereby improving the production efficiency of aquaculture. This paper elaborates in detail on the biological activities of MCTs and their applications in aquatic animals, providing a theoretical and practical basis for the application of MCTs in aquaculture.
中链脂肪酸甘油三酯（MCTs）具有抗菌、抗病毒、营养及其他生物活性，已在人类和陆生动物中显示出显著的应用潜力。近年来，随着绿色水产养殖业的发展，MCTs已逐渐应用于水产养殖动物，可提高生长性能、改善肉质、调节脂质代谢、增强免疫活性并调节肠道菌群，从而提高水产养殖的生产效率。本文详细阐述了MCTs的生物活性及其在水生动物中的应用，为MCTs在水产养殖中的应用提供了理论和实践依据。
