increase the resistance to diseases [49] and they modu<strong>la</strong>te some of the innate <strong>de</strong>f<strong>en</strong>se<br />

mechanisms in fish such as rainbow trout [22]. Other substances pres<strong>en</strong>t in this alga are<br />

vitamins such as tocopherol, vitamins K and C, the <strong>la</strong>tter having be<strong>en</strong> reported as a very<br />

important immunostimu<strong>la</strong>nt [44, 50-52]. Due to the fact that this alga contains differ<strong>en</strong>t<br />

immunostimu<strong>la</strong>nt substances, its use could g<strong>en</strong>erate a more g<strong>en</strong>eral immune response as<br />

has be<strong>en</strong> proposed for other microorganisms such as yeasts [8, 53].<br />

Castro et al. [23] reported that wh<strong>en</strong> turbot phagocytes were pre-incubated with<br />

water–soluble extracts of Chondrus crispus and th<strong>en</strong> incubated with PMA, the extracts<br />

had a priming effect on fish cells. Supplem<strong>en</strong>tation of the diet with whole cells of P.<br />

cru<strong>en</strong>tum fed to the fish during a four-week period did not show a pot<strong>en</strong>tial priming<br />

effect on the respiratory burst activity of sole phagocytes. This finding could indicate<br />

that this alga does not have the ability to induce the priming effect reported for C.<br />

crispus or that the oral administration of the alga did not supply the phagocytes with<br />

levels of immunostimu<strong>la</strong>nt capable of facilitating this priming effect.<br />

Val<strong>en</strong>te et al. [19] suggested that the inclusion of dry pellet of the red<br />

macroalga Graci<strong>la</strong>ria bursa-pastoris and the gre<strong>en</strong> macroalga Ulva rigida, up to 10%<br />

can be consi<strong>de</strong>red as very interesting ingredi<strong>en</strong>ts in diets for sea bass juv<strong>en</strong>iles, as no<br />

negative consequ<strong>en</strong>ces on growth performance, nutri<strong>en</strong>t utilization or body composition<br />

were observed. On the other hand, the inclusion of the red macroalga Graci<strong>la</strong>ria cornea<br />

should be limited to 5% of the diet.<br />

The stimu<strong>la</strong>tion of sole phagocytes has be<strong>en</strong> observed only wh<strong>en</strong> fish with P.<br />

cru<strong>en</strong>tum were immunized with the P. damse<strong>la</strong>e subsp. piscicida bacterin. Sakai [28]<br />

indicates that the combination of vaccination and immunostimu<strong>la</strong>nt administration may<br />

increase the pot<strong>en</strong>cy of vaccines. J<strong>en</strong>ey and An<strong>de</strong>rson [54] reported that rainbow trout<br />

bathed in A. salmonicida O-antig<strong>en</strong> in combination with immunostimu<strong>la</strong>nts (levamisole,<br />

quaternary ammonium compound –QAC- and a polypepti<strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>rived from fish products<br />

–ISK-) <strong>en</strong>hanced phagocytosis by leucocytes and antibody titers against A. salmonicida,<br />

and showed adjuvant effects with vaccination. Sakai et al. [55] reported that R.<br />

salmoninarum-vaccinated rainbow trout receiving EF203, the ferm<strong>en</strong>ted product of<br />

chick<strong>en</strong> eggs, showed higher phagocytic activities and NBT responses in kidney<br />

leucocytes wh<strong>en</strong> compared to vaccinated fish without EF203 treatm<strong>en</strong>t or to<br />
