Abstract

The results showed that saffron supplementation significantly increased the survival rate of fish challenged with <i>A. hydrophila</i>. It also enhanced the immune response of fish, as evidenced by increased levels of serum immunoglobulins and lysozyme activity. These findings suggest that saffron supplementation could be a promising strategy for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections in aquaculture.
