“…Over the years, synthetic piscicides have been used in aquaculture practices, which are toxic to fish and the aquatic ecosystem; the quest for natural piscicides to manage fish population and disease has led to the exploration of plant-based piscicides [1]. [2] defined an appropriate piscicide as one that effectively eliminates organisms at low doses, ensures safety for individuals and livestock, does not compromise fish suitability for human consumption, dissipates rapidly in water, does not have cumulative adverse impacts on the pond, and is easily accessible and costeffective.…”

In aquaculture, piscicides are used as fishing gear to combat parasitic, invasive fish species and eliminate dominant fish species in a water body. Therefore, assessment of piscicide activity is important. Hence, in this study, we have aimed to assess the piscicidal potential of Carica papaya leaves, seeds, and peel powder on juveniles of Clarias gariepinus using behavioural responses and mortality rate as the toxicity endpoints. Four hundred and fifty (450) juveniles of Clarias gariepinus were used for the 96-hour static bioassay. Five (5) different concentrations of 0 mgL-1, 25 mgL-1, 50 mgL-1, 75 mgL-1, and 100 mgL-1 containing ten (10) fish samples in triplicates were used. The physicochemical parameters of the test concentrations monitored during the exposure include Temperature, pH, Electrical Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, and Total Dissolved Solids. The results of the physicochemical parameters did not vary significantly compared with the control. The results of the behavioural responses showed a range of reactions, such as erratic swimming, gulping of air, loss of reflex, vertical orientation, loss of buoyancy, jumping, and discolouration. The fish mortality rate was used to determine the median lethal concentrations (LC50) of the leaves, seeds, and peel powder using the Probit method. The LC50 values estimated from Probit analysis were 147.17 mgL-1, 262.376 mgL-1, and 697.180 mgL-1, respectively. The results implied that of the three plant parts used, the leaves powder of Carica papaya showed the most promising piscicidal potential. Hence, this underscores screening whole plant parts to ascertain the most suitable for such desired activity. The substitutes of plant substances, which can act as ecologically friendly piscicides, can be encouraged against commonly used synthetic chemicals which can be detrimental to aquatic ecosystems.

Medicinal herbs have been used in animal husbandry since ancient times and have recently gained significant attention in aquaculture (Das et al., 2018). Several scientific studies promote the usage of medicinal herbs in aquaculture (Bhuvaneswari & Balasundaram, 2006;Harikrishnan et al., 2011). Herbs had been known to benefit fish and shrimp in many ways such as anti-stress, appetite stimulation, immunostimulation, aphrodisiac, anti-pathogen properties and promotion of growth and survival (Chakraborty & Hancz, 2011;Citarasu, 2010). These benefits are attributed to the presence of various active compounds such as alkaloids, saponins,

Aquaculture, as a rapidly expanding global industry, is increasingly challenged by both infectious and non-infectious diseases, posing significant threats to fish health and production. Traditional interventions, such as antibiotics and vaccines, though effective, raise concerns regarding environmental impact and the potential for resistance development. This review explores the promising role of dietary biogenic promoter supplements as an innovative, sustainable alternative for aquaculture. By analysing emerging literature, we highlight the significance of these nature-based solutions, which offer cost-effective, non-toxic, and eco-friendly options to enhance aquaculture productivity. Biogenic supplements, derived from herbs, beneficial microbes, insects, nutrients, bioactive molecules, and nanoparticles, have shown potential in improving feed quality, promoting growth, boosting disease resistance, enhancing immune system function, and supporting overall health in aquatic species. This comprehensive review demonstrates the efficacy of biogenic-mediated supplements in fostering aquaculture sustainability by minimizing the need for traditional chemical interventions. Furthermore, the analysis identifies critical research gaps, particularly in determining optimal supplement concentrations and their species-specific effects. Additionally, large-scale field trials are recommended to validate laboratory findings and assess their practical applications in real-world settings. By synthesizing current research, this review provides valuable insights into the future trajectory of aquaculture practices, positioning biogenic dietary supplements as key contributors to sustainable and efficient aquaculture development.
