Anchovy and giant squid hydrolysates can enhance growth and the immune response of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) fed plant-protein-based diets

The aim of the present study was to evaluate: 1) the in vitro bactericidal and bacteriostatic activities of four selected marine hydrolysates, from anchovy or giant squid, against several fish pathogens, and 2) if the inclusion of 3% of those hydrolysates in a plant-protein-based diet could result in similar growth, feed efficiency, humoral immune status and haematological parameters of juvenile European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax), compared...
