Haematological and histopathological monitoring of monosodium glutamate–supplemented feeding in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): A possible modelling for a single health approach

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the potential effects of monosodium glutamate (MSG), a known flavour enhancer added to many ready‐to‐eat foods, as a feed additive in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Evaluating the effects of MSG on aquatic organisms will fill the knowledge gap in this field by monitoring the haematological indices
