In the context of the rapid development of Russian aquaculture for bivalve mollusks in the 21st century, it has become crucial to develop technologies that aim to minimize stress levels and enhance the resistance of oysters against diseases and parasitic infections in hatcheries. This research investigated the effect of an aqueous extract of phycobiliproteins (CBP), derived from the blue-green alga Spirulina platensis, at concentrations ranging from 2 to 200 μg/mL on adult Pacific oysters (Magal
