Description

Yosu Candela and eight co-authors fed whiteleg shrimp a spirulina extract in 2026 to test its effect on growth and immunity. Shrimp got diets with half a percent up to four percent extract for thirty-five days. Growth did not differ among groups, so the extract did not hurt feed use.

Immune markers told a better story at low doses: defender cell counts peaked at the lowest dose and germ-eating capacity peaked at two percent. At four percent both fell back, a sign of overload. Tissue checks agreed. The sweet spot, the authors say, sits at the low end.
