The effects of mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) and inulin (INU) inclusion (8 g kg⁻¹) in a soybean meal (SBM)-containing diet on histology, macro- and micromorphology of proximal and distal intestine of sharpsnout seabream (Diplodus puntazzo) were evaluated. 144 sharpsnout seabream (100 g average initia...
