An 8‐week feeding trial was performed to investigate effects of dietary selenium (sodium selenite, Na₂SeO₃; selenium nanoparticle, Nano‐Se; selenium yeast, Se‐yeast) on the growth, selenium status, antioxidant activities, muscle composition and meat quality of blunt snout bream. Na₂SeO₃ and Nano‐Se were supplemented at 0.2 mg Se kg⁻¹, and Se‐yeast was supplemented at 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 mg Se kg⁻¹ in basal diet; no Se was added as a control. The results indicated that groups of 0.2 and 0.4 mg kg⁻¹ Se‐yeast had significantly higher weight gain and Nano‐Se, 0.2, 0.4 mg kg⁻¹ Se‐yeast had significantly lower feed conversation ratio compared with the control group. The Se concentrations of whole body, muscle and liver linearly increased with increasing dietary Se‐yeast levels. Group of 0.4 mg kg⁻¹ Se‐yeast significantly increased activities of catalase and glutathione peroxidase. Muscle colour of Nano‐Se, 0.2, 0.4 mg kg⁻¹ Se‐yeast groups, the water‐holding capacity of 0.4, 0.8 mg kg⁻¹ Se‐yeast groups showed significant differences compared with the control group. The results suggest that Se‐yeast and Nano‐Se had a better growth performance than Na₂SeO₃ at 0.2 mg Se kg⁻¹, and supplementing appropriate Se‐yeast in diet can increase antioxidant activities and enhance meat quality of blunt snout bream.
