This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary levels of vitamins C (0, 100 and 2000 mg kg(-1)), E (0, 50 and 500 mg kg(-1)) and their interaction on the growth performance, liver contents of ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol, haematology and immune response of channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus. Each diet was fed to catfish in triplicate aquaria to apparent satiation twice daily for 12 weeks. The results indicate that the amount of vitamin E contained in the basal diet (23.1 mg kg(-1)) was sufficient to promote good growth, feed efficiency and survival, but its supplementation was needed to maintain high haematological values and liver vitamin E. Supplementation of vitamin C (100 mg kg(-1)) to the basal diet containing 10.5 mg kg(-1) was required for good growth, feed efficiency, survival and prevention of vertebral deformity and optimum haematological indices. Liver storage of ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol increased with increasing dietary levels of each vitamin. Dietary vitamin E levels had no effect on liver ascorbic acid content, but increasing dietary vitamin C increased liver alpha-tocopherol. Some measured immune parameters (serum protein and superoxide anion production) were enhanced by supplementation of vitamin C or E. Chemotaxis ratio and phagocytosis were not affected by treatments.
