Hi
I am wanting to know what is the route of up take of vitamins by freshwater during immersion in them?
I know for instance that Vit B1 (thiamine) is used to treat EMS in rainbow trout through bath immersion of yolk-sac fry, but the papers I have read fail to explain the route in which the vitamin is taken up by the fry.
If you have other papers that discuss this properly that would be of great help.
I know minerals are taken up by the gills but I want to know about vitamins and other water soluble compounds
After treatment u can feed them with diet highly fortificated (high dose of vitamins) for few days

There are three most possible routs for vitamine take up by fish during immersion:
1. Through the soft tissues lining mouth cavity
2. Via gill lamillae during respiration process where large volume of blood became in direct contact with flowing water.
3. Through the limited quantities of water which ingested into the digestive system by drinking.
With best regards
