Cover Story: Intensified aquaculture raises concerns regarding fish health and disease susceptibility. Nutritional strategies, such as the utilization of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), demonstrate the potential to boost immunity and performance. Lauric acid (LA), a key MCFA abundant in coconut and palm oils, is rapidly absorbed, provides energy quickly, and has antimicrobial effects. In fish, dietary MCFAs improve growth, immunity, and antioxidant status. LA has been linked to enhanced gut health, feed efficiency, and reduced fat deposition. Studies show that LA supplementation improves growth and intestinal morphology. This study evaluates dietary LA effects in European seabass juveniles, focusing on growth, metabolites, and antioxidant and immune responses. View this paper
