“…The acute toxicity test of T. catappa leaves extract in this study revealed at a specific concentration range of its bath immersion could cause toxic and mortality on selected cyprinid species. Our findings were in agreement with Chansue and Assawawongkasem (2008)'s as well as Stratev et al (2018)'s studies, which stated that any natural or herbal plant source could either be beneficial or detrimental to any fish since the level of its toxicity mainly depended on the applied extract (1,765.7 mg/L) of the T. catappa leaves extract on similar fish species utilized in Chansue and Assawawongkasem (2008)'s study; Siamese fighting fish but it is slightly bigger (about 4.0 cm in length) than the previous one. Furthermore, the concentrated plant extracts may also contribute to a severe cause to the non-target aquatic species in certain circumstances (Singh & Singh, 2002: Yunus et al, 2019.…”

This study aimed to determine the lethal concentration (LC50) of Terminalia catappa leaves extract on three cyprinid species; carp (Cyprinus carpio), goldfish (Carassius auratus) and tiger barb (Puntigrus tetrazona) through the acute toxicity test. The leaves of T. catappa were extracted with methanol and prepared in various immersion concentrations (40, 80, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, and 350 mg/L). These extracts were immersed in the aquarium and left for 24 h before performing the acute toxicity test. The water quality was also analyzed before and after adding the extract immersions into the aquarium. The acute toxicity test conducted for 96 h with 10 fishes of each cyprinid species (4.0-6.0 cm length) in 30 L water capacity aquarium. The mortality of each cyprinid species was recorded at 24 h time interval and LC50 of the extracts throughout 96 hours was determined through the probit analysis application. Specifically, the LC50 of T. catappa leaves extract were 349.89, 338.65 and 318.48 mg/L exhibited for carp, goldfish and tiger barb, respectively. A high concentration range of any plant-based extract has the potential to become toxic to particular fishes. Thus, it is an effort from this study to identify the safety margin of T. catappa leaves extract before its therapeutic values can be further manipulated and elucidated in aquaculture research.

“…Despite the relevance of the previous narrative reviews in the advancement of the topic (e.g. Reverter et al 2014;Van Hai 2015;Awad & Awaad 2017;Stratev et al, 2018;Sutili et al 2018), the overall efficacy of plant-enriched diets and the effect of intrinsic parameters (e.g. type of plant material, dosage, duration of the treatment) on the treatment efficacy have never been quantified.…”

Aquatic animal diseases are one of the major limiting factors in aquaculture development, with disease emergence forecast to increase with global change. However, in order to treat increasing diseases in a context of global emergence of antimicrobial resistance and strengthening regulations on antimicrobial use, sustainable alternatives are urgently needed. The use of plant supplements to increase fish immunity and disease resistance has gained much popularity within the last decades. The use of functional supplements, such as plants, can also improve growth and feed assimilation, contributing to a better optimization of aquaculture resources (e.g. fish meal inclusion). We conducted a systematic review and metaanalysis in order to identify the research gaps in the use of plant-enriched diets in fish aquaculture and estimate, for the first time, the overall efficacy of plant-enriched diets on fish growth, immunity and disease resistance as well as the effect of intrinsic parameters (fish trophic level, type of plant material, dosage, treatment duration and pathogen species) on the treatment efficacy. We found that plant-enriched diets significantly enhanced growth, immunity and disease survival of treated fish, regardless of the fish trophic level, treatment duration and type of material used. We also show that plant supplements are a versatile alternative that can benefit different aquaculture sectors (from small-scale fish farmers to intensive productions). Finally, we observed that studies need to improve the information reported about the plant material used (e.g. origin, identification, chemical composition), in order to allow the comparison of different experiments and improve their repeatability.

“…The aquatic animal antioxidant system is vulnerable to biotic and abiotic factors (e.g., phylogenetic position, age, physiological condition, presence of xenobiotics, environmental factors, diets, and feeding behavior) [ 77 ]. Medical plants, with their numerous active components, are thought to possess different functions as immunostimulants and antioxidants [ 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 ]. The Yucca plant and its products have shown antioxidant activities that are attributed to its phenolic hydroxyl groups (hydrogen donors), which lowers the formation of hydroxyl peroxide [ 42 , 82 ].…”

In modern aquaculture systems, farmers are increasing the stocking capacity of aquatic organisms to develop the yield and maximize water resources utilization. However, the accumulation of ammonia in fishponds regularly occurs in intensive aquaculture systems, resulting in reduced growth rates and poor health conditions. The inclusion of yucca extract is recognized as a practical solution for adsorbing the waterborne ammonia. Yucca has abundant amounts of polyphenolics, steroidal saponins, and resveratrol and can be used as a solution or as a powder. In this context, this review aimed to investigate the possible regulatory roles of yucca extract on aquatic animals’ performances. Concurrently, the feed utilization, growth performance, and physiological status of aquatic species can be improved. Additionally, the yucca application resulted in enhancing the antioxidative, immunological, and anti-inflammatory responses in several aquatic animals. Exclusively, the present review proposed a protective solution through the application of yucca extract in the aquafeed and rearing water of aquatic animals suffering from ammonia accumulation. Furthermore, it shows how yucca could enhance the growth, survival rates, blood biochemical quality, immunological indices, and the antioxidative capacity of aquatic animals in light of the relevant published data.
