This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with Sargassum horneri celluclast hydrolysate (SHCH) on the growth performance, feed utilization, non-specific immunity and antioxidant capacity of the Pacific white shrimp Penaeus vannamei. Six diets were prepared by SHCH supplemention levels of 0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 g/kg (designated as Con, S5, S10, S20, S40 and S80, respectively). A total of 540 shrimp were randomly distributed in triplicate across 18 tanks and fed one of the diets for five weeks. Weight gain did not differ significantly among the groups except for S80. The feed conversion ratio was significantly lower in S10 than in S80. Phenoloxidase and nitroblue tetrazolium activities were significantly higher in S5 than in Con. The prophenoloxidase gene was significantly upregulated in S10 compared to that in Con. The gene expression of crustin, glutathione peroxidase, lipopolysaccharide and β-1,3-glucan-binding protein were significantly upregulated in S5 compared to Con. The superoxide dismutase gene was significantly upregulated in S20 and S80 compared to Con. Supplementing shrimp diets with up to 8% of SHCH did not impair non-specific immunity or antioxidant capacity. However, based on growth results, supplementation up to 4% was considered appropriate.
