“…In aquaculture, bioactive compounds are increasingly used as alternatives to treatments for viral and bacterial infections [40,41]. One of the most studied bioactive compounds for the improvement of animal health of aquaculture species include phytobiotics, which are plant-and algae-extracted compounds shown to have antistress, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immunostimulatory properties that can also promote the growth and general health of organisms [42][43][44][45][46]. Nevertheless, substituting antibiotics with phytobiotics does not completely solve the core issue since the dosing mode is carried out in the same haphazard way as that of antibiotics, where it is administered together with food.…”

In this study, we synthesized and characterized pH-responsive Chitosan–AgCl-doped ZnO hybrid hydrogels and evaluated their potential for loading aquaculture bioactive compounds, and assessed their antimicrobial properties against a threatening pathogen associated with disease across a broad spectrum of warm water fish and invertebrates. Hydrogel characterization consisted of assessing morphology via SEM, composition via EDS, hydrogels’ network components interactions via FT-IR and pH response through swelling behavior determinations. The swelling characterization of the synthesized hydrogels demonstrated a pH-responsive behavior, showing that low pH values caused the hydrogel polymeric network to expand and capture more of the aqueous solution. These characteristics make the synthesized hydrogels suitable for the encapsulation and controlled release of drugs and bioactive compounds in aquaculture. Chitosan_ZnO hybrid hydrogels showed great antimicrobial activity against Vibrio harveyi, even better than that of loaded PB hydrogels. Here, we provide evidence for the potential capacity of Chitosan_ZnO hybrid hydrogels for the preventive and curative treatment of diseases that impact aquaculture animal health and prevent drug resistance by bacteria.
