Abstract:Litopenaeus vannamei has emerged in the aquaculture industry. Production consistency, nutrition, and disease management play critical roles, particularly the digestive enzymes such as trypsin. This study assesses Ulvan, an immunostimulant from Ulva lactuca, on shrimp trypsin activity. Trypsin has been found to significantly enhance the activity of hemocyanin phenoloxidase, a crucial component of humoral immunity. This study aims to evaluate the potency of ulvan related to trypsin as an immunostimulant agent, e… Show more
