The fish received a control diet and an experimental diet containing yeast β-1,3/1,6-D-glucans at a dose of 1% in the basal feed for 14 days. The results demonstrated enhancement in the phagocytic activity and phagocytic index in the groups fed β-glucans, compared to the control groups. In the groups fed β-glucans, the oxidative stress parameters such as lipid peroxidation, oxidatively modified proteins, and TAC did not vary significantly.
