Abstract

The effect of replacement brown macroalgae (Sargassum ilicifolium) with fishmeal, intestinal tissue structure of Asian Lates calcarfer, with an initial weight of 29±1 g, in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and three triplicates for 6 weeks was done. The experimental diets were prepared using a control diet and three diets including brown macroalgae with replacement at level 3, 6 and 9%. The obtained results indicated that there was no significant difference between enterocyte length, villi width and muscle thickness in intestinal tissue between different treatments and the control group (P>0.05). However, replacement of sargassum algae at the level of 6% on the villi length and villi uptake level of intestinal tissue showed a significant difference (P<0.05). According to the results, the use of sargassum macroalgae at the level of 6%, in the diet of Asian seabass, had a positive effect on studied parameters of intestinal tissue.
