An increase in fish consumption, combined with a decrease in wild fish harvest, is driving the
aquaculture industry at rapid pace. Today, farmed seafood accounts for about half of all …

Bioactive compounds, eg, protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, carotenoids, vitamins and
minerals, found in commercial form of microalgal biomass (eg, powder, flour, liquid, oil …

Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food production area in the world and this productive
activity requires nutrients that fit the needs of cultured species, as well as additives or …

Background β-Glucans are polysaccharides constructed of glucose monomers linked by β-
glucosidic bonds, which mainly exist in cereals (barley and oat), yeast and mushrooms …

Administration of β-glucans through various routes, including immersion, dietary inclusion,
or injection, have been found to stimulate various facets of immune responses, such as …

Simple Summary The β-glucan obtained from yeast—a very important molecule for fish
production—activates the immune system of fish by different mechanisms and induces …

The innate immune response involves a concerted network of induced gene products,
preformed immune effectors, biochemical signalling cascades and specialised cells …

The role of glucan as a biologically active immunomodulator has been well documented for
more than 40 years. However, the wide diversity of β-glucan forms and the extraction …

Diseases outbreak caused by pathogenic organisms is known to be one of the significant
constraints faced by fish farmers and consequently pose great damage to the economy of …

In the present study, the effects of β-glucan administration in water on growth performance
and blood status (hematological indexes, immunological and biochemical parameters) were …
