Abstract

Manganese (Mn), functioning as a microelement, serves as a crucial cofactor in numerous enzyme systems. This element is indispensable for regulating the nervous system, bone growth, and reproduction, while also playing a pivotal role in carbohydrate metabolism. This research endeavours to establish the optimal dietary Mn range for young beluga, Huso huso. A cohort of 180 young beluga, with an average initial weight of 266 ± 3.05 g, underwent a two-week acclimatization period to adapt to their environment. The fish were systematically allocated into 6 treatments, each with three replications, encompassing concentrations of 5 (Mn1), 10 (Mn2), 15 (Mn3), 20 (Mn4), and 25 (Mn5) mg of Mn sulphate monohydrate (MnSO4, H2O) per kg of diet. A control treatment (Mn0), devoid of MnSO4 supplementation, was also included. The feeding regimen involved 3 time-daily feedings, constituting 1.8% of the biomass, sustained over two months. Biometric growth indices at the end of each month revealed no statistically significant differences across diverse treatments (p > 0.05), but the maximum values of these indices were observed in the control and Mn3 treatments, respectively. However, the number of red blood cells (RBCs) and white blood cells (WBC), as well as haemoglobin (Hb) levels, exhibited significant differences (p < 0.05). Additionally, significant variations were observed in the plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels (p < 0.05). Mn2 treatment demonstrated the highest significant activity of lysozyme and total immunoglobulin (Total Ig) levels (p < 0.05). Conversely, immunoglobulin M (IgM) levels and complements activity (C3 and C4) remained non-significant across Mn0, Mn1, and Mn2 treatments (p > 0.05). Despite the noteworthy level of tissue Mn aggregation (p < 0.05), no significant differences were noted in the tissue cumulation of Ca, Fe, and P elements within muscle, blood, cartilage, and liver (p > 0.05). Based on the obtained results, it is concluded that the optimal supplementation level of MnSO4 required for young H. huso falls within the range of 10-15 mg kg-1 of diet.
