Specifically, green macroalgae serve as dietary supplements aimed at improving the health, growth, and feeding efficiency of various species of marine and freshwater fishes, as well as mollusks. The effects of <i>Chaetomorpha linum</i> extract (CLE) on growth performance, physiological responses, and disease resistance are studied in <i>Bellamya bengalensis</i> against <i>Aeromonas hydrophila</i>. In this experiment, adult <i>B. bengalensis</i> (4412 ± 165.25 mg) were randomly divided into 15 rectangular glass aquariums (35 snail/aquaria; 45 L capacity) and their basal diet was supplemented with different levels of CLE, including 0 (CLE0), 1 (CLE1), 2 Animals : an open access journal from MDPIDietary Green-Algae <i>Chaetomorpha linum</i> Extract Supplementation on Growth, Digestive Enzymes, Antioxidant Defenses, Immunity, Immune-Related Gene Expression, and Resistance to <i>Aeromonas hydrophila</i> in Adult Freshwater Snail, <i>Bellamya bengalensis</i>.PMC128372812019JZZY0207102018CXGC0102Rajesh RVenkatalakshmi SSattanathan GPadmapriya SNatarajan TMozanzadeh MTGlory PRYu HfalseDietary Green-Algae <i>Chaetomorpha linum</i> Extract Supplementation on Growth, Digestive Enzymes, Antioxidant Defenses, Immunity, Immune-Related Gene Expression, and Resistance to <i>Aeromonas hydrophila</i> in Adult Freshwater Snail, <i>Bellamya bengalensis</i>.Macroalgae plays a significant role in the formulation of innovative and environmentally sustainable approaches to address food challenges.
