Eco-innovative aquafeeds biofortified with Asparagopsis taxiformis to improve the resilience of farmed white seabream (Diplodus sargus) to marine heatwave events.

ABSTRACT: Extreme weather events, like marine heatwaves (MHWs), are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change, posing several challenges to marine ecosystems and their services. As disease outbreaks are often prompted by these acute phenomena, it is essential to develop eco-innovative strategies that can efficiently improve farmed fish resilience, especially under sub-optimal rearing conditions, thereby ensuring a sustainable aquaculture production. This study aimed to unveil farmed juvenile white seabream (Diplodus sargus, 28.50 ± 1.10 g weight, n = 150) immune and antioxidant responses under a category II MHW in the Mediterranean Sea (+4 °C, 8 days of temperature increase plus 15 days of plateau at the peak temperature) and to investigate whether a 30 days period of pro
