Abstract This study was performed to investigate the effect of the dietary supplementation of chitosan-vitamin C nanocomposite (CVCN) at four different concentrations (0, 200, 300, 400 mgkg−1 diet) in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings, for ten weeks feeding period, on the growth performance, antioxidant activity, immune status, histopathology of some organs, and disease resistance against Aeromonas sobria (A. sobria). A total of 180 fingerlings (average initial weight = 14.74 ± 0.016 g) were randomly allotted to four groups. Different concentrations of CVCN significantly increased the final body weight, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, the protein efficiency ratio, specific growth rate%, and daily weight gain in a dose-dependent manner (P
