It can enhance the nutritive value, improve antioxidant properties and mitigate oxidative stress induced by pathogens. This study investigates the utilisation of fermented seaweeds in feed formulations to reduce oxidative stress, improve fish health and enhance disease resistance. Seaweeds Gracilaria corticate, rich in bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and antioxidants, were fermented using probiotic Pediococcus pentosaceus MK459540. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was fed a diet supplemented with fermented seaweed, which indicates lower levels of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Glutathione (GSH) and Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) activities compared to control and non-fermented seaweeds when challenged with Vibrio harveyi, Aeromonas hydrophila and a mixture of both pathogens. These findings highlight the potential of seaweed, a sustainable and renewable marine resource in advancing aquaculture practices by promoting fish health and immunity. 2026, World Researchers Associations.
