“…This is an indication that Aloe extracts have the ability to enhance HDL activity, which inhibit LDL activity, and subsequently reduce serum lipid as explained by Mackness et al (1993). Immunostimulants including herbal extracts do not usually show linear dose-effect response (Wu et al 2013). Maximum effect has been induced at intermediate doses, and no effect and even toxicity have been reported at high doses (Makkar et al 2007).…”

“…Nevertheless, intensive production practices tend to be more stressful for fish, resulting in fish with poor metabolism ability (Pankhurst et al 2008;Santos et al 2010), poor meat quality (Jittinandana et al 2003), and highly susceptible to diseases (Bulfon et al 2013). For example, streptococcal diseases have been reported to be the cause of high mortality and major economic losses in tilapia culture industry (Wu et al 2013), and this makes it hard for the fish farmers to achieve their maximum production yield.…”

“…In China, Thailand and Vietnam, both semi-intensive and intensive shrimp production have been reported to rely heavily on chemical inputs per unit ton of harvested produce (Rico et al, 2013). However, the continuous use of antibiotics and other chemicals has numerous shortcomings, such as the risk of the pathogens developing resistance, the problem of drug residues in treated animals, the effects on human health, and environmental pollution (Wu et al, 2013). Thus, many nations have strict regulations that limit the use of antibiotics in animal farming (Dibner & Richards, 2005).…”

“…One of the key elements that encourage fish farmers to adopt these kinds of production systems is that, productivity per unit area is much higher as a result of higher stocking density [1]. On the contrary, high stocking density in intensive fish culture systems has led to many constraints and among them is stress, which as a consequence, results in a bunch of conditions such as, poor fish performance, alteration of physiological functions [2], poor digestion and feed utilization [3,4], increased susceptibility to diseases [5], poor fish meat quality [6], and in extreme cases lead to mortality [7,8]. The management of these stress related conditions in intensive production systems remain a challenge for the aquaculture industry [9], especially in top aquaculture producing countries (i.e.…”
