A feeding trial was conducted to study the effects of diets supplemented with Kam Kung alga (Chara corallina) on growth performance, total carotenoid and oxidative defense of African Sharptooth catfish, Clarias gariepinus Burchell. Dried powdered of C. corallina was added to the basal diet at 0% (control), 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 % and fed to the catfish for 60 days. The initial size of the catfish was 11.24±0.01 g/fish. The results found that the mean daily growth, weight gain, average daily growth and specific growth rate of the fish fed with alga supplemented feed (2.0 %) were significantly different from the control diet (p<0.05). Flesh of African Sharptooth catfish fed a diet supplement with C. corallina at 8.0 % was higher than the control group and the 2.0% group (p<0.05). The total carotenoid in flesh and glutathione in liver of catfish were related to the level of alga in the diet. The fish fed with 4% algal supplemented feed tended towards an optimal feed level for decreasing lipid peroxidation in the liver when evaluated at the 2nd month. These findings indicated that alga supplemented should not exceed 2 % in the African Sharptooth catfish diet, and that C. corallina led to reduced oxidative stress in the African Sharptooth catfish.
