“…The growth promoting effects of ORG could be related to its aromatic flavour, which makes it a strong appetizer. The feed intake induced by flavour of ORG could eventually improve fish growth (Abdel-Latif & Khalil, 2014). In addition, the growth promoting effects of ORG may also be attributed to some bioactive compounds in the biochemical composition of ORG, which stimulate the secretion of digestive enzymes and following increases in food consumption and absorption (Radhakrishnan, Saravana Bhavan, Seenivasan, Muralisankar, & Shanthi, 2015).…”

“…The chemical composition of oregano includes high content of polyphenols, thymol and carvacrol, which have been recognized to have antioxidant effects (Lagouri et al 1993;Taimidou & Boskou, 1994). Several studies have shown the immunostimulating and antioxidant role of oregano in fish (Zheng, Tan, Liu, Zhou, Xiang, & Wang, 2009;Abdel-Latif & Khalil, 2014;Haghighi & Rohani, 2015;Diler, Gormez, Diler, & Metin, 2017;Beltrán, Espinosa, Guardiola, & Esteban, 2018), However, there are no information regarding the protective effects of oregano in relation to ROS resulting from pesticide-induced oxidative stress.…”

The present study was carried out to evaluate the moderating properties of oregano (Origanum vulgare) (ORG) extract on the toxic effects of organophosphate pesticide, diazinon on growth and some metabolism associated components of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. In non-diazinon-exposed fish, the triiodothyronine (T3) levels in serum and body weight index (BWI %) and specific growth rate (SGR) values were higher in fish supplemented with 2, 6 and 10 g ORG/kg diet compared to control (non-ORG-supplemented fish) and fish fed 14 g ORG/kg diet after 60 days feeding trial (P<0.05). Furthermore, the serum thyroxine (T4) levels increased in fish fed 6 and 10 g ORG/kg diet compared to control and those supplemented with 2 and 14 g ORG/kg diet (P<0.05). Fish supplemented with 14 g/kg ORG diet showed the lowest BWI %, SGR and serum thyroid hormones (P<0.05). The lowest FCR values were observed in fish supplemented with 6 and 10 g ORG/kg diet (P<0.05). In diazinon exposed fish, thyroid hormones, BWI % and SGR significantly declined during 60 days exposure to diazinon in control and ORG-supplemented fish (P<0.05). However, these parameters were found to be higher in fish supplemented with 6 and 10 g ORG/kg diet compared to other exposed fish (P<0.05). FCR values significantly increased in control and fish supplemented with 2, 6 and 14 g ORG/kg diet after exposure (P<0.05). The levels of cortisol significantly elevated during exposure to diazinon in control and fish supplemented with 2 and 14 g ORG/kg diet (P<0.05). The glucose levels significantly increased in fish fed 6 and 10 g ORG/kg diet (P<0.5). During exposure period, diazinon induced ranges of histological lesions in liver, which the severity of theses lesions was lower in ORG-supplemented fish (P<0.05). In conclusion, ORG at optimum dietary levels (6-10 g/kg diet) could moderate the growth suppressing effects, stress and tissue lesions induced by diazinon. In addition, ORG at high dietary levels had toxic effects on fish metabolism.

“…Phytobiotics enhance the fish's immune system by increasing the presence of immune markers such as immunoglobulin M (IgM), nitric oxide and lysozyme. For example, Abdellatief et al ( 108 ) revealed that a combination of sage ( Salvia officinalis ) and Spirulina platensis ( Arthrospira platensis ) can boost the immune system of Nile tilapia by increasing their immune response against Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Furthermore, phytobiotics, in the form of antioxidant compounds such as phenols and polyphenols, are beneficial for fish health by improving the immune system of aquatic animals against A. hydrophila ( 109 ).…”

Aeromonas hydrophila is a ubiquitous bacterium with various hosts that causes mass mortality in farm-raised fish species and significant economic losses. The current antibiotic treatment is ineffective in controlling this bacterium infection in aquaculture species. Therefore, an evaluation of potential phytobiotics is needed to find an alternative antimicrobial agent to reduce the over-reliance on antibiotics in aquaculture and safeguard public and environmental health. Furthermore, the rise in antibiotic resistance cases among pathogenic bacteria indicates an urgent need for new fish and shellfish health management solutions. In this context, phytobiotics applications in aquaculture can be defined as any medicinal plant-based antimicrobial agent used in fish and shellfish health management. This review will focus on the impacts of Motile Aeromonas Septicemia (MAS) due to A. hydrophila in aquaculture, the potential of phytobiotics in enhancing the tolerance of aquaculture species against MAS and the combination of phytobiotics with other antimicrobial and therapeutic agents against MAS.

“…Several herbal compounds have been shown to modulate immune responses and treat infections. Plants from the Lamiaceae family (mints) have been studied in several recent experiments [ 60 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 73 , 74 ]. One study by Abdellatif et al reported a significant effect of combined sage ( Salvia officinalis ) and Spirulina platensis ( Arthrospira platensis ) on levels of immune markers, including lysozyme, nitric oxide, and immunoglobulin M (IgM), as well as increased resistance against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Nile tilapia [ 68 ].…”

The crucial need for safe and healthy aquatic animals obligates researchers in aquaculture to investigate alternative and beneficial additives. Medicinal herbals and their extracts are compromised with diverse effects on the performances of aquatic animals. These compounds can affect growth performance and stimulate the immune system when used in fish diet. In addition, the use of medicinal herbs and their extracts can reduce oxidative stress induced by several stressors during fish culture. Correspondingly, aquatic animals could gain increased resistance against infectious pathogens and environmental stressors. Nevertheless, the exact mode of action where these additives can affect aquatic animals’ performances is still not well documented. Understanding the mechanistic role of herbal supplements and their derivatives is a vital tool to develop further the strategies and application of these additives for feasible and sustainable aquaculture. Gene-related studies have clarified the detailed information on the herbal supplements’ mode of action when administered orally in aquafeed. Several review articles have presented the potential roles of medicinal herbs on the performances of aquatic animals. However, this review article discusses the outputs of studies conducted on aquatic animals fed dietary, medicinal herbs, focusing on the gene expression related to growth and immune performances. Furthermore, a particular focus is directed to the expected influence of herbal supplements on the reproduction of aquatic animals.
