Abstract

Fishes are exposed naturally to fluctuation in the food availability along its life which adversely impact their physiological conditions. Dietary inclusionof Spirulina platensis in aquatic food formulation has a wide range of welfare and economic advantages. Hence, this study had been constructed to highlight the potential influences of food shortage on the serum metabolites and electrolyte variables of Nile catfish, and the possible modulatory impacts of graded Spirulina doses (1.25, 2.5, and 5g/Kg diet) applied for 2 months following this dietary stress. Limited dietary resource (2% of body weight) resulted in exhaustion of energy stores, impairment of renal function, and disturbance in electrolyte balance. Spirulina alleviated the depletion of energy reserves without any beneficial modulation regarding electrolyte equilibrium. Therefore, further studies are warranted to examine the most optimum dose of Spirulina and duration of exposure to achieve the most favorable impacts on both levels of metabolic and ionic balances.
