Evaluation of Paramylon As an Alternative Β-1,3-Glucan for Aquacultured Fish Species
Four separate studies were conducted with different finfish species, to explore the immunomodulatory properties of paramylon, a microalgae-derived linear form of β1,3-glucan, as an alternative to the widely available and branched yeast-based β-1,3-1,6- glucan products. In trials I and II, innate imm...
