Abstract
In this study, the effcts of kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) meal on growth and immune responses of parrot fish (Oplegnathus fasciatus) were studied. Fish were fed an experimental diet supplemented with $2{\%}\;and\;5{\%}$ kelp meal in a controled diet. Several factors such as weight gain, hematological parameters and nonspecific immune responses were evaluated far 0, 2, 4 and 8 weeks after the administration of the kelp meal supplemented diet. Weight gain in the fish fed the diet supplemented with $2{\%}\;and\;5{\%}$ kelp meal was not significant among the tested groups. The NBT reaction of the phagocytes in the head kidney and the phagocytic rate/index of phagocytes in the peripheral blood were significantly higher than the control group. But, there was no significant difference both in complement bactericidal activity, mucus Iysozyme activity and hematology among each group.
