  Stress in aquaculture can be modulated by specific stress-limiting factors such as Phytogenic Feed Additives (PFAs), known for their welfare-promoting effects. Three stress trials with gilthead seabream were, therefore, conducted aiming at evaluating the possible beneficial role of three PFAs as welfare-promoters under stress-induced farming conditions, such as starvation (Trial I: Fish starvation for 14 days), high-density (Trial II: Fish were stocked in aquaria at 1.2 Kg/m3 and 2 Kg/m3) and intense handling procedures (Trial III: Fish were kept out of water in the open air for 5 min). Seven dietary treatments were supplemented with Cannabis sativa seed oil, Origanum vulgare, and Cinnamomum zeylanicum essential oils at 1% and 2%. DNA damage in hepatocytes and erythrocytes and blood cortisol were assessed as stress .. View more»
