Dietary GABA plays an important role in a variety of physiological functions in animals, but this has been rarely reported in fish. This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with GABA on growth, serum antioxidant indicators, digestive enzyme activities, intestinal morphology, and the gene expression of Nile tilapia. Diets containing three different GABA concentrations, 0 (control), 200 mg/kg (GABA200), and 500 mg/kg (GABA500), were fed to Nile tilapia (6.

Article Synopsis
- Streptococcus agalactiae is a significant bacterial pathogen in farmed fish like Nile tilapia, leading to notable economic losses, making effective vaccination crucial for disease control.
- Several types of vaccines, including inactivated, live attenuated, and subunit vaccines, have been developed with varying success; recent adjuvants, Montanide™ ISA 763A VG and ISA 763B VG, aim to enhance vaccine efficacy through improved immune response mechanisms.
- A study tested two adjuvanted bacterial vaccines in tilapia and found that immunization increased innate immune parameters and specific IgM antibody production against S. agalactiae, suggesting promising avenues for future vaccine development.
