Abstract

We investigated whether dietary supplementation with Aurantiochytrium sp. meal, a DHA-rich source (docosahexaenoic acid, 22: 6 n-3), fed during long-term exposure to cold-suboptimal temperature (22 °C, P1), followed by short-term exposure to higher temperatures (28 °C, P2, and 33 °C, P3), would promote oxidative damage in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Two supplementation levels were tested: 1.0 g 100 g (D1) and 4.0 g 100 g (D4). A control diet, without the additive (D0, 0 g 100 g), and a positive control diet supplemented with cod liver oil (CLO) were also tested. The concentrations of DHA and total n-3 PUFAs in the CLO diet were similar to those found in diets D1 and D4, respectively. The parameters analyzed included hemoglobin (Hb), the antioxidant enzymes catalase, glutathione peroxidase, total glutathione, non-protein thiols, and the oxidative markers protein carbonyl and erythrocyte DNA damage. Nile tilapia did not present differences in Hb content, regardless of diet composition, but the temperature increase (P1 to P2) led to a higher Hb content. Likewise, the temperature increases promoted alterations in all antioxidant enzymes. The dietary supplementation with 1.0 g 100 g Aurantiochytrium sp. meal after P1 caused minor DNA damage in Nile tilapia, demonstrating that the additive can safely be included in winter diets, despite its high DHA concentration.
