Cross-effects of dietary probiotic supplementation and rearing temperature on growth performance, digestive enzyme activities, cumulative mortality and innate immune response in seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

Probiotic influence on fish immune response and digestive capacity is extensively discussed in aquaculture. In this experiment, a feeding trial was carried out for 100 days to evaluate the cross-effects of probiotic supplementation and rearing temperature (17, 20 and 23°C) in juvenile seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax). The experimental diet was supplemented with a commercial probiotic blend (Biomin AquaStar Growout) at 3 g/kg diet (5.23 × 108...
