Abstract We evaluated the effects of dietary tea polyphenols (TP) on growth, immune response and intestinal bacterial community in Koi carp (cryprinus carpio). One hundred and eighty fish were randomly assigned to a basal diet or three treatments consisting of basal diet supplemented with three dosage of TP.
