Effects of dietary Spirulina platensis on growth performance, hematological and serum biochemical parameters, hepatic antioxidant status, immune responses and disease resistance of Coral trout Plectropomus leopardus (Lacepede, 1802)

The preventive role of different doses Spirulina platensis on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in healthy rats

“…All these enzymes were decreased in high dose Spirulina group compared to groups control and low dose Spirulina. Similarly our results, Yu et al (2018) reported that increasing dose of Spirulina may decrease the hepatic CAT, SOD and GPx values in coral trout due to its excessive activation on enzymatic antioxidant system. Also it was indicated that S. platensis play role as an antioxidant system due to possess the single oxygen quenching properties.…”

Feasibility of the use of Spirulina in aquaculture diets

“…; Yu et al . ). It was reported that Spirulina increases the resistance of fish to different bacterial pathogens, such as Edwardsiella ictaluri (Duncan & Klesius ), Aeromonas hydrophila (Ragap et al .…”

“…; Yu et al . ), the economic impact of using such an expensive ingredient would be balanced by the benefits that this ingredient brings to fish culture. Belal and El‐Hais () reported that 1% Spirulina in a tilapia diet can improve weight gain by up to 15% and result in a more efficient feed conversion ratio (FCR) that also improved by 15%.…”

“…These results indicated that natural carotenoids could improve the specific and non-specific immunity of fish. Thus, Yu et al (2018) reported that natural carotenoids can significantly improve the survival rate and enhance disease resistance of Coral trout, Plectropomus leopardus challenged with Vibrio harveyi. Similarly, Arous, El Bermawi, Shaltout, & Essa (2014) also indicated that natural carotenoids such as Dunaliella salina extract, crayfish meal and squilla meal has more impact on stress response of red tilapia, Oreochromis Spp.…”
