[Objective] The aim was to explore the effects of compound Chinese medicine on growth and antioxidant capacity of Acipenser schrenckii,and to provide a foundation for the application of traditional Chinese medicine as immune additives in sturgeon aquaculture production.[Methods] Three kinds of compound Chinese medicines(respectively called A,B and C) were added into basic material feed as feed additives,continuous fed 1+ age Acipenser schrenckii for 35 d,then weight gain rate was determined and superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity,malondialdehyde(MDA) content,total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC) and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX) activity in serum and liver were detected.[Results] Chinese medicine formulae could increase the superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity,total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC) and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX) in serum and liver of sturgeon.Especially SOD enzyme activity of serum in the three formulae groups was significantly higher(P<0.05) than control group,SOD enzyme activities of fish liver in group A and C were significantly higher(P<0.05) than control group;T-AOC activities of serum and liver in the three formulae groups were both incressed,but had no significant differences with that of the control group;only GSH-PX activities of fish serum in group B and C had significant differences(P<0.05) with that of control group,GSH-PX activities of liver in the three formulae groups had no significant differences with that of control group;and traditional Chinese medicine could significantly reduce malondialdehyde(MDA) content of sturgeon serum,MDA contents of serum and liver in three formulae groups had significant differences(P<0.05) with that of control group.[Conclusion] The selected three kinds of compound Chinese medicine additives had different degree of ability to improve sturgeon antioxidant function.
