Background: The approaches chosen for control of Outbreaks of infectious diseases in Aquatic farming industry include improvement of environmental conditions, stocking of specific pathogen free (SPF) brood stockings, and application of vaccines and immunostimulants. Despite numerous studies on the effects of Ergosan on immune system of aquatic animals, there is no data available on ant...

background: seaweeds contain significant quantities of lipids, protein, vitamins and minerals. aquavac ergosan contains 1% alginic acid extracted from two brown seaweeds, laminaria digitata and ascophyllum nodosum. both in vivo and in-vitro researches have mainly been focused on the effect of ergosan on fish growth, survival rate, reproductive performance and innate immunity in blood and epider...

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of Ergosan, an algal extract containing alginic acid and Hilyses, a fermented Saccharomyces cerevisiae, on growth, immune response and hematological parameters in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Fish with an initial average weight of 70-75 g were fed with Ergosan (5 g kg-1) and Hilyses (10 g kg-1) for a period of 70 days. The Results reve...

The immunostimulatory effects of intraperitoneally injected Chevimmun, a fixed combination herbal product, was investigated in the rainbow trout. Administration of a 75% Chevimmun preparation resulted in significantly enhanced leucocyte migration (p<0.05), phagocytosis (p<0.001) and respiratory burst activity (p<0.001) in the peritoneal cavity. Antiprotease activity was also significantly eleva...
