title: Effect of dietary algae on improvement of lipid metabolism in fish.
abstract: Algae has been examined as a feed additive for fish. Dietary algae accelerate the assimilation of ascorbic acid in fish and improve the physiological conditions related to vitamin C nutrition. Consequently, lipid metabolism, especially lipolysis, is improved. The effects of dietary algae on improvement of lipid metabolism may be partly explained by the synergistic effect with vitamin C.
