“…Another hypothesis is that perhaps the fish meal content in 6% FMS (620 g/kg in diet) is within the optimum range for Caspian brown trout growth. Also, in the present study the fish growth increased approximately 100%, which is compatible with other studies in Caspian brown trout in the approximately same size (Adel, Safari, Pourgholam, Zorriehzahra, & Esteban, 2015;Kenari et al, 2013;Ramezani, 2009).…”

Spirulina has been highlighted as a valuable complementary ingredient in aquafeeds due to its high protein and vitamin content, in addition to other nutritional benefits. To evaluate the effect of dietary spirulina inclusion in fish meal sparing (FMS) on juvenile Caspian brown trout as a slow‐growth fish, a complete randomized experimental design was developed with five treatments: 0% (control), 2% FMS (13.2 g/kg spirulina in diet), 4% FMS (26.4 g/kg spirulina in diet), 6% FMS (39.6 g/kg spirulina in diet) and 8% FMS (52.8 g/kg spirulina in diet). Six hundred juveniles (11.0 ± 1.0 g) were assigned to 15 experimental tanks. Although this fish is sensitive to diet composition, fish fed the 6% FMS and 8% FMS diets had a significantly higher weight gain rate (239.51% and 231.27%) and specific growth rate (1.74% bw per day and 1.71% bw per day) compared with those fed the control diet. Furthermore, 6% FMS and 8% FMS treatments had statistically higher protein efficiency (0.76 and 0.78), lipid efficiency (1.89 and 1.94) and statistically lower feed conversion ratio (2.47 and 2.41) compared with other treatments, respectively (p < 0.05). In terms of whole‐body composition, the higher amount of protein and lower content of lipid were observed in fish fed the 8% FMS diets as compared to control. Although no significant differences in ash and moisture content were observed, the highest protein deposition (157.3 g/kg) and the lowest lipid content (77 g/kg) in whole body were reported in fish fed 8% FMS diet. Based on the fillet fatty acid outcome, fish fed the 8% FMS diet had significantly higher saturated fatty acids (SFAs), C20:3n‐6, C18:3n‐3, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and total n‐3 fatty acids as compared to those fed the control diet (p < 0.05). Accordingly, increasing dietary spirulina content significantly enhanced the amount of these fatty acids in fish fillet. As regards of whole‐body amino acid profile, arginine and lysine in fish fed 6% FMS and 8% FMS diets were higher and lower than in those fed the control diet, respectively (p < 0.05). Fillet and skin colour parameters, such as luminosity, redness and yellowness, significantly increased with spirulina supplementation with the 8% FMS treatment displaying higher values than the control. In summary, according to our results, 8% FMS (52.8 g/kg spirulina in diet) treatment improved juvenile Caspian brown trout growth, carcass composition and pigmentation.

“…Significant differences were observed in enzymatic activities (protease, amylase, cellulose) of treated groups as compared to control. On the contrary, no significant (P < 0.05) difference was observed in protease activity but significant (P < 0.05) difference was recorded for amylase activity of Caspian brown trout when they were fed on a peppermint-supplemented diet by Adel, Safari, Pourgholam, Zorriehzahra, and Esteban (2015b). The reason might be due to different feeding habits of Caspian brown trout in their study and C. catla in the present study.…”

Two dietary experiments were performed to evaluate the impact of the herb Mentha piperita as a dietary supplement on Catla catla. In Experiment 1, fingerlings (0.45-2.60 g) were fed on diets supplemented with M. piperita at different levels (P1, P2, P3, and P4 at 2, 4, 6, and 8 g Kg −1 of feed) and C1 served as the control with no peppermint supplementation. In Experiment 2, fingerlings (0.40-3.15 g) were fed with diets containing autochthonous probiotic bacteria Bacillus coagulans (3000 colony forming unit g −1 ) along with M. piperita (PP1-PP4 at 2, 4, 6, and 8 g Kg −1 of feed) and feed C2 served as control containing probiotics but no peppermint. Significantly (P < 0.05) high values of growth parameters, digestive enzyme activities, low reed conservation ratio, low excretion of ammonia, and orthophosphates were observed in fingerlings fed with P3 for Experiment 1 and PP3 for Experiment 2. Hematological counts, phagocytic activity, and respiratory burst activity were also enhanced in fingerlings fed with M. piperita supplementation revealing that dietary administration of peppermint at optimum level can enhance the growth, digestibility, and immunity of C. catla fingerlings; however, incorporation of B. coagulans showed better growth and immunity revealing that synergistic effects of M. piperita and autochthonous probiotic in C. catla diets can lead to its sustainable aquaculture.

“…In the present study, the highest lysozyme activity was observed in the concentration of high dose treatment. Similar to our results, evaluation of lysozyme activity has been reported with thoodhuvalai (Solanum trilobatum) and heart‐leaved moonseed (Tinospora cordifolia) in Mossambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus (Alexander, John Wesly Kirubakaran, & Michael, ; Divyagnaneswari, Christybapita, & Michael, ); holy Basil ( Ocimum sanctum) in rohu, Labeo rohita (Das, Raman, Saha, & Singh, ); peppermint (Mentha piperita) in Caspian brown trout, Salmo trutta caspius (Adel, Safari, Pourgholam, Zorriehzahra, & Esteban, ); henna (Lawsonia inermis) in common carp (Soltanian & Fereidouni, ); Excoecaria agallocha and Chinese mahogany ( Toona sinensis) in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Laith et al, ; Wu, Liu, Chang, & Hsieh, ), and common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) and common hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) in golden pompano, Trachinotus ovatus (Tan, Sun, Chen, et al, ; Tan, Sun, Huang, et al, ). Similar results were noted in common carp fed diets enriched with turmeric powder, Curcuma longa (Abdel‐Tawwab & Abbass, ), or Nile tilapia fed diets enriched with green tea, Camellia sinensis (Abdel‐Tawwab et al, ), American ginseng, Panax quinquefolium (Abdel‐Tawwab, ), or cinnamon ( Cinnamomum zeylanicum ) nanoparticles (Abdel‐Tawwab et al, ).…”

This study investigated the effects of Jujube (Ziziphus jujube) fruit extract (JFE) as an excellent source of nutrients and phytochemicals on the innate immune responses and expression of genes involved in intestinal immunity of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) fingerlings. Three hundred healthy carps (10.78 ± 0.05 g) fingerlings were randomly allocated to 12 fibre glass tanks (300L; 15 fish per tank) and fed for 8 weeks with experimental diets which contained different levels of JFE (0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, or 1%). Thereafter, serum non-specific immune parameters [total immunoglobulin (Ig) as well as alternative complement (ACH50) and lysozyme activity (SL)] and expression of genes involved in intestinal immunity (lyz, tnf-alpha, il1b, il8, il10, and tgfb) were measured. The results revealed a significant elevation of Ig level in the JFE-fed fish (p < 0.05) over the control fish. However, there was no significant difference among treated groups in case of serum total Ig. The highest levels of SL and ACH50 were observed in fish fed 1% of JFE. Nonetheless, no significant difference was noticed regarding SL and ACH50 of control and other supplemented groups (0.25% and 0.5% JFE). Also, expression of lyz, tnf-alpha, and il1b genes increased significantly (p < 0.05) in JFE-fed fish, in a dose-dependent manner.On the other hand, significant (p < 0.05) down-regulation of il110 and tgfb were noticed in treated groups. The present findings suggested that extraction of Jujube, Z. jujube fruit, possesses beneficial effects on immune responses of common carp.
