(gū-lon'ik as'id),

Fish are unable to synthesize AA due to the lack of L-gulonolactone oxidase enzyme, which is necessary to convert L-gulonic acid to AA.

Re-evaluation of the optimum dietary vitamin C requirement in juvenile eel, Anguilla japonica by using L-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate

Fish cannot synthesize vitamin C, because they do not have the L-gulonolactone oxidase enzyme, which is required to convert L-gulonic acid to ascorbic acid (Sato et al., 1976).
