Abstract:A comparison analysis of vitamin A, C and E contents in muscle, liver and eggs of wild, cultured and nutrition fortified broodstock was conducted, attempting to explain the decline of larval fish quality in farmed . The results showed that no differences were found in vitamin A content of wild and farmed fish, however, egg vitamin A content of wild fish was significantly higher than that of farmed fish (<0.05). Vitamin C contents in liver and eggs of wild fish were statistically higher than those of farmed fish (<0.05), while no change were detected in muscle. Vitamin E content in muscle and egg of wild fish were significantly higher than those of farmed fish, with liver vitamin E content following the opposite tendency. Fortification strategies in this study improved vitamin A and C contents in liver and muscle, vitamin E content in eggs of farmed broodstock, while vitamin A and C contents in eggs as well as vitamin E content in muscle changed a little (>0.05). All the above results reached a conclusion that the discrepancy of vitamin A, C and E contents existed between wild and farmed fish, to some extent, may be correlated with the decline of the larval fish quality in the culture of , and this could be diminished by more effective fortification strategies of vitamin A, C and E, which is needed to be further studied.
