This study aimed to valorize Codium sp. and Osmundea sp. as functional ingredients for European seabass diets. For this purpose, triplicate groups of 25 fish (20.6 g) were fed, during 8 weeks, one of seven diets: the control (CTR), 5% of Codium and Osmundea ground (diets CO and OS, respectively), 5% of Codium and Osmundea ground and autoclaved (diets COA and OSA, respectively), and 0.5% of Codium and Osmundea polysaccharide ex...

Lauric acid (LA), a medium-chain fatty acid (C12), can promote growth performance and decrease oxidative damage and lipid deposition in animals. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of lauric acid as a functional ingredient on European seabass juveniles’ growth performance and intestine antioxidant and immunological status. For this purpose, four practical diets were formulated to be isoproteic an...

(1) Background: This study aimed to evaluate the potential of short-chain fatty acids as functional ingredients to improve the immune status and disease resistance of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) juveniles. (2) Methods: For that purpose, triplicate groups of fish with an initial body weight of 15.2 ± 0.03 g were fed isoproteic (43% crude protein) and isolipidic (18% crude lipids) diets supplemented with sodium aceta...
