“…Citarasu et al (1998Citarasu et al ( , 2003 demonstrated this in P. indicus postlarvae (PL20) reared for 10 days on a diet enriched in antibacterial herbs, stresstol or cod liver oil: these P. indicus postlarvae showed 100% stress resistance when treated in 0& salinity for 1 h. Similarly, in the present study we observed that the stress resistance was improved to a maximum of 31 and 32%, respectively in hypo-and hyper-salinities (0 and 50&) in P. monodon postlarvae reared for a period of 25 days (from PL15 to PL40) on a diet of herbal product-bioencapsulated Artemia. Antibacterial/anti-stress herbal extracts such as Solanum trilobatum, Andrographis panniculata, Aegle marmelos and Psoralea corylifolia were fed to the infected shrimp P. monodon postlarvae by means of a bioencapsulated Artemia diet by Citarasu et al (2003). In this experiment the postlarvae showed significant resistance to the bacterial infection and improved survival and growth compared to the postlarvae fed non-enriched Artemia.…”

One of the major problems in the shrimp culture industry is the difficulty in producing high-quality shrimp larvae. In larviculture, quality feeds containing a high content of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) and ingredients that stimulate stress and disease resistance are essential to produce healthy shrimp larvae. In the present study, Penaeus monodon postlarvae (PL15) were fed for 25 days on an unenriched Artemia diet (control; A) or on a diet of Artemia enriched with either HUFA-rich liver oil of the trash fish Odonus niger (B), probionts [Lactobacillus acidophilus (C1) or yeast-Saccharomyces cerevisiae (C2)] or biomedicinal herbal products (D) that have anti-stress, growth-promoting and anti-microbial characteristics. P. monodon postlarvae fed unenriched Artemia exhibited the lowest weight gain (227.9 ± 8.30 mg) and specific growth rate (9.95 ± 0.05%), while those fed the HUFA-enriched Artemia (B) exhibited the highest weight gain and specific growth rate (362.34 ± 12.56 mg and 11.77 ± 0.08%, respectively). At the end of the 25-day rearing experiment, the shrimp postlarvae (PL40) were subjected to a salinity stress study. At both low and high (0 and 50&) salinities, the group fed the control diet (A) experienced the highest cumulative mortality indices (CMI) 935.7 ± 2.1 and 1270.7 ± 3.1, respectively. Those fed diet D showed the lowest stress-induced mortality, and CMI were reduced by 31.1 and 32.3% under conditions of low and high salinity stress, respectively. A 10-day disease challenge test was conducted with the P. monodon postlarvae (PL40-PL50) by inoculating the shrimp with the pathogen Vibrio harveyi at the rate of 10 5 -10 7 CFU/ml in all rearing tanks. P. monodon postlarvae fed probiont-encapsulated Artemia diets (C1 and C2) exhibited the highest survival (94.3 and 82.3%, respectively) and lowest pathogen load (V. harveyi) in hepatopancreas (5.2 · 10 2 ± 9.0 · 10 and 4.6 · 10 2 ± 9.0 · 10 CFU g -1 , respectively) and muscle (2.0 · 10 2 ± 6 · 10 and 1.7 · 10 2 ± 8.6 · 10 CFU g -1 , respectively) tissues. The shrimp that were fed the unenriched Artemia (Control; A) showed the

“…Some plants are rich sources of compounds like volatile oils, saponins, phenolic compounds, tannins, alkaloids, polypeptides and polysaccharides. These natural plant products have various activities like antistress, appetizer, antimicrobials and immunostimulants (Citarasu et al, 2002(Citarasu et al, , 2003. Many plant extracts have been investigated for antimicrobial activity in fish.…”
