Cover Story: Vegetable oil inclusion in fish diets is a common practice, but its effects on their oxidative status at an intestinal level, which can affect animal health and welfare, are poorly understood. The effects of different dietary treatments containing soybean oil alone or in combination with other vegetable oils in sea bream were tested. The results revealed that the blend of soybean and linseed oils triggers high oxidative stress in some fish that could not be counteracted by the high levels of antioxidant enzymes. However, palm oil addition to the previous vegetable oil mixture makes it possible for the fish to maintain low oxidative stress, preserving the intestinal health of the animal. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the importance that the mixture of vegetable oils in a diet can have on the intestinal health of sea bream. View this paper
