Abstract
The effects of various levels of the commercial dietary supplement, Hoplite containing glucan, on growth performance, body composition and intestinal microbiota in white fish, Rutilus frisii kutum fry were investigated. 25 white fish fry (mean weight=1 ± 0.15 g) were stocked in each experimental tank (100 L). The fry were fed experimental diets supplemented with 0, 0.5, 1 and 2% Hoplite to apparent satiation, 3 times a day for 60 days. Biometry was performed every two weeks. Mean dissolved oxygen concentration, pH and water temperature recorded during the experiment were 5.0±0.1 mg/l, 7.8±0.2 and 24.4±0.11 ºC, respectively. At the end of the trial period, growth parameters, body composition and intestinal microbiota were studied. Results indicate that fry fed 0.5 and 1% glucan exhibited highest weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR) and final body weight (FBW) which were significantly different (P

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect combined application of dietary Fructooligosaccharid (FOS) and Pediococcus acidilacticiplus Lactococcus lactison some growth preformane, haematological parameters and intestinal microbiota of Rutilus frisii kutum. According to the bacterial growth in in vitro condition and production of volatile fatty acid (VFA), t hree treatments consisting of (Treat1): 0.5% FOS plus 1010cfu/g Lactococcus lactisand and 107cfu/g Pediococcus acidilactici, (Treat2): 0.5% FOS plus 1010cfu/g Lactococcus lactisand and 1010cfu/g Pediococcus acidilactici and (Treat3): 0.5% FOS plus107cfu/g Lactococcus lactisand and 1010cfu/g Pediococcus acidilactici were used in 400 Kutum fry weighing 0.75±0.02 g obtained from a reproduction fish center, Guilan Province Iran.. Fish were kept in 1000 L water and fed on experimental diet for 60 days. Results showed that growth indices such as final weight (FW) and specific growth rate (SGR) were significantly increased in all treatment groups compared to control one (p<0.05). Also, FCR in all treatments were lower than control one. In treatment 1, final weight (1.67) , SGR (1.34) and FCR (2) were significantly higher than other treatments. The results showed that hematological parameters values in different treatments showed no significant differences (p>0.05). However, immunoglubolin level in treatment 1 (22.33mg/ml ) was significantly higher than other treatments. The total lactic acid bacteria counts in treatment 1 (5.2) and treatment 3 (5) was significantly higher than other treatments (p<0.05). The present findings show that the combined application of probiotics and prebiotics could be a useful tool in the rearing of early stages of Rutilus frisi kutum fry.
