Description
INTRODUCTION The African catfish, Clarias gariepinus is the most popular and widely cultivated fish in Nigeria (1). The fingerlings are produced in over 70% of the functional hatcheries in the country. Most of these catfishes are cultured in tanks under semi-intensive and intensive conditions with high stocking densities. This condition can be very stressful to fish and may hinder their growth and susceptibility to diseases. It is therefore, a standard practice to supplement the diets of intensively grown fish with vitamins. The vitamin nutrition of catfish has been the subject of numerous research reports especially vitamin C (Ascorbic acid).
