Abstract
Vitamin E plays a crucial role in maturation and reproduction of aquatic animals. This study was conducted to elucidate the effects of vitamin E supplementation at different concentrations (0, 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg feed) in the diets of female spotted scat fish (Scatophagus argus) during the conditioning period (March to June, 2024). The experiment was designed in triplicate following a completely randomized design (CRD). The results showed that supplementation of vitamin E in the diets significantly improved the maturation and reproduction (p<0.05). This was reflected by statistically significant differences in all key reproductive indicators between the control group and the experimental groups including oocyte diameter, spawning rate, fertilization rate, hatching rate and the rate of deformed fry. A dietary supplement of vitamin E at 400 mg/kg is effective for improving the reproductive performance, leading to larger egg diameter (~ 500 µm), higher spawning rate, fertilization and hatching rate (approximately 80%) and deformed fry rate < 20%. The findings of this study suggest that dietary supplementation of vitamin E at a concentration of 400 g/kg feed in female fish improves gonadal maturation rate and reproductive performance in the artificial seed production of spotted scat.
