The harmful effects of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) stress are unavoidable in shrimp culture. Arachidonic acid (AA) is a fatty acid that regulates immune responses in aquatic animals. In this study, we investigated the effects of dietary AA on growth, immunity and intestinal microbiota of Litopenaeus vann...
