“…The present findings showed an improvement of plasma albumin, total protein, and HDL-C in fish offered diet supplemented with Fe, where the uppermost values measured in fish received nano-Fe 2 O 3 . Such effect has been noticed by [37] who detected those levels of serum total protein, albumin, and globulin contents in trout improved with Fe supplementation, where the highest values determined in fish fed with the nanoparticulate diets versus inorganic and control ones. Thus, confirming that minerals have beneficial in controlling the blood-protein synthesis in animals, and diets provided with minerals enhance the protein synthesis in fishes [7,59,60].…”

The current study aimed to compare the utilization efficiency of iron (Fe) feed additives from either bulk or nano sources in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus diets on growth, haematological, immunity, anti-oxidative, and intestinal topography capacities. Five isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets were performed; the basal diet served as a control with no Fe added, whereas the experimental diets were shaped by adding bulk-Fe2O3 and nano-Fe2O3 to the basal diet to preserve Fe levels at 0.2 and 0.4 mg kg−1, respectively. Results indicated that superior growth performance was recorded in fish-fed diets supplemented with 0.4 nano-Fe2O3 mg kg−1 diet. In addition, the highest (P ≤ 0.05) survival rate, absorption area of villous (AAV), mucosal to serosal amplification ratio (MSR), and villi parameters (height and width) were noticed in fish fed diet enrichment with either bulk or nano-Fe2O3 source. However, the superiority observed in nano-Fe2O3 fish groups. Also, the highest values of plasma albumin, total protein, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), white blood cells (WBCs), and lymphocyte absolute count (LYM) (P ≤ 0.05) recorded in fish fed a diet supplemented with nano-Fe2O3 versus the basal diet. Moreover, the highest values of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and plasma lysozyme activity (P ≤ 0.05) were observed in fish fed 0.4 mg/kg−1 nano-Fe2O3, while the lowest value was recorded in fish fed the control diet. The best value of malondialdehyde activity (P ≤ 0.05) recorded in a fish-fed diet supplemented with 0.4 mg/kg−1 nano-Fe2O3. The current findings emphasize the importance of including Fe to improve fish growth, immunity, antioxidant capabilities, and intestinal structure, primarily with a nano-Fe source, which demonstrated a more effective function in satisfying Nile tilapia dietary Fe requirements and improving the aforementioned parameters.

“…55 In Nile tilapia fish, the optimal dose was 63.75 mg/kg. 56 Similarly, dietary inclusion of Fe-NPs and ascorbic acid at 4 and 6 g/kg, respectively, in C. gariepinus improved its growth and survival and reduced mortality while contributing to the nutrients utilization, the biochemical parameters, the haematological profile, and the stress-reducing factor during hyperthermia stress. 57 Additionally, Fe-NPs feed supplementation at 40 mg/kg for a 60-day was helpful in order to achieve better growth and feed utilization in Clarias batrachus.…”

“…50,51 It has been proved in aquatic feeding that dietary supplementations of Fe in nanoforms induced nutritional beneficial effects in aquatic species. [52][53][54][55][56][57] For example, enhanced growth performance and alkaline phosphatase activity were observed within goldfish (C. auratus), which received a Fe-NPs-containing diet (0.5 g/kg) for 60 days. 52 In addition, dietary Fe-NPs supplement (20 mg/kg) for a 90-day experimental trial showed an improvement in growth response, digestive enzyme function, food intake, better survival, and growth of M. rosenbergii post larvae.…”

“…Moreover, Anisomeles malabarica leaf extracts Fe‐NPs diet supplement proved beneficial, not only for the growth performance, but also for the enzymatic activity (protease, amylase and lipase) and the biochemical and haematological parameters of zebrafish, with the optimal dose being 40 mg/kg 55 . In Nile tilapia fish, the optimal dose was 63.75 mg/kg 56 .

Nanotechnology is a rising technology dealing with nanoparticle‐based (1–100 nm) organic and inorganic materials. Such technology has a vital role in various industrial sectors, including pharmaceuticals, nuclear energy, fuel and energy, electronics, and bioengineering, while having potential applications to human, animal, plant, and environmental health. Even though nanomaterial applications can cover multi‐areas of biological and natural fields, limited information are available in the aquaculture sector. Nowadays, the aquaculture sector is the most imperative field to meet animal protein requirements for human nutrition, and aquaculture disease outbreaks as well as the aquatic environment pollutants are significant hindrances in producing healthy aquatic products. The current review aims to enlighten the direction of nanotechnology in the aquaculture industry while providing more specific information about inorganic forms of nanoparticles used to develop several types of applications such as antimicrobial, antibiofilm and photocatalytic agents, as well as aquatic animal nutrition in the domain of aquaculture. A large number of inorganic nanoparticles and their use as animal feed and for water treatment are extensively described. Their potential risks in aquaculture are also presented and discussed. The aquaculture nanotechnology applications are expected to contribute to fish health improvement, harmful microbes control, and aquatic products nano‐delivery in the forthcoming years.
