| Popis: | Abstract Growing fish in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) involves various stress factors that directly affect their physiological condition. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a chelated organic-mineral additive including Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Co, Se and I; on the rearing performance of juvenilecatfish (Clariasgariepinus) under RAS conditions. Four groups of fish (n=50) were formed: a control group (receiving standard feed) and three experimental groups (receiving standard feed with biogenic elements chelate compounds in different concentrations). At the end of the experiment (30 days), the physiological condition of the fish was evaluated by the growth rate, internal organs condition, blood serum biochemical indices and histological examination of the middle intestine. The survival rate of fish in the experimental groups was 96-98%. According to the results, the absolute increase was 14,30% in group III, 11,13% in group II and 6,71% in group I, compared to the control. However, the use of chelated compounds in high concentrations can cause necrosis and erosion of the apical part of the villi (groups II and III). Blood biochemical analysis of fish (group II and III) receiving medium and high concentrations of chelated compounds showed high ALT activity, which was 23,02% (p |
