Polysaccharides from the green alga Caulerpa racemosa (Agardh, 1873) improve the immune response and antioxidant status in the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931) (Dendrobranchiata, Penaeidae)

What is it about?

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Caulerpa racemosa polysaccharides (CRP) on non-specific immunity of white shrimp. The CRP possesses antioxidant activity and can activate immune responses in white shrimp. CRP can serve as a functional feed additive to improve innate immunity in white shrimps.
