Effect of dietary tannins on productive parameters and diesel toxicity in juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Main Article Content
Abstract
Nile tilapia is a highly nutritious source of protein, and its production through aquaculture practices leads to a lower carbon footprint when compared to the production of terrestrial species. However, environmental contamination poses a significant risk in aquaculture, necessitating strategies to mitigate its impacts on fish. This study evaluated the effects of experimental diets supplemented with tannins on performance parameters of Oreochromis niloticus over a 60-day feeding trial. At the end of the experiment, their potential hepatoprotective role was assessed in fish exposed to diesel-induced toxicity. The fish were fed a control diet (T1) or a diet supplemented with either 2 % (T2) or 4 % tannins (T3). Fourteen fish per tank were allocated across three tanks per treatment. After 60 days, seven fish from each treatment group were exposed to an acute diesel exposure to either an acute dose of diesel (50 µg/g) or fish oil (control). Performance parameters were then compared, and liver samples were obtained and used to determine alkaline phosphatase (ALP), carboxylesterase (CaE), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymatic activity. Diesel exposure led to increased ALP activity, decreased CaE, and GST activities. However, no significant alterations in enzyme activities were observed in fish maintained under dietary treatments T2 and T3 following diesel exposure compared to the control group. Moreover, performance parameters remained unaffected by the inclusion of tannins in diets. These findings suggest that dietary tannins may provide a protective effect against diesel-induced physiological disturbances.
