Seaweed is an inherently important entity in marine ecosystems. It is not only consumed by aquatic animals but also improves environmental quality in the mariculture. Seaweed is also part of the diet of human beings. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the antagonism of selenium (Se)-enrichedGracilaria lemaneiformisagainst heavy metals, specifically, the potential of dietary Se-enrichedGracilariato protect against heavy metal toxicity in rabbitfish (Siganus oramin). Growth rate, heavy metal (Se, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn and Cr) concentrations, malondialdehyde (MDA), metallothionein (MT), and the activity of the antioxidants, glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were all assessed. The results showed that the total organic and inorganic Se concentration for the 250 mg L−1Se-enrichedGracilariawas significantly higher than those of the 50 and 10 mg L−1treatments after 3 days of enrichment. The mean total Se concentrations inGracilariawere 42.5 μg g−1in the 250 mg L−1treatment, 13.5 μg g−1in the 50 mg L−1treatment and 2.5 μg g−1in the 10 mg L−1treatment, respectively. Organic Se accounts for 80–82% of total Se in Se-enrichedGracilaria. The Se concentration of rabbitfish fed Se-enrichedGracilariawas significantly higher than control. Furthermore, Se increased Cu and Zn absorption, and enhanced MT generation, and improved GPX, CAT, and SOD antioxidant activity, and decreased MDA concentrations and lipid peroxidation levels, all antagonistic to Cd, Pb and Cr. The effects of Se-enrichedGracilariaon waterborne Cd, Pb and Cr-induced toxicity occurred via both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidative mechanisms in rabbitfish. Selenium had synergistic effects on Zn and Cu in rabbitfish. For the 50 mg L−1Se-enrichedGracilariatreatment, the Se, Cu, Zn, and antagonistic Cd, Pb, Cr, and the antioxidant enzymes CAT, SOD, GPX activities, and MT concentrations in rabbitfish were higher than that with the 250 mg L−1and 10 mg L−1Se-enrichedGracilariatreatments. The 50 mg L−1Se treatment ofGracilariawas deemed to be the optimum concentration to promote growth of rabbitfish. Therefore, the obtained results suggest Se-enrichedGracilariacan antagonize heavy metal toxicity, and is an advisable Se supplement to improve the edible safety of cultured animals.
