“…Enhanced RBC and WBC counts following the Limonia acidissima Fruit diet feeding indicate the immunostimulant effect and anti-infection properties of wood apple fruit. These results corroborate with the findings of Dina Rairakhwada et al 58 and Talpur and Ikhwanuddin 49 , who reported an increase in RBC and WBC count after feeding levan to Cyprinus carpio and ginger supplemented feed to L. calcarifer fishes respectively. In addition, Misra et al 59 reported an increase in RBC and WBC of rohu following feeding trial with herbal diets for 60 days.…”

“…Fish fed with 3 % Limonia acidissima Fruit (T 2 ) showed significantly higher lysozyme activity compared to other experimental groups. The enhanced lysozyme activity in this study was in affirmation with previous reports on immunostimulants fed fish 25,49,63 . The significant increase of lysozyme in the present study may be due to up-regulation of lysozyme mRNA which could stimulate the immunity response of fish and may contribute to host resistance against infectious pathogens 66,67 .…”

“…Increase in serum total protein was reported in C. catla fed with ginger 60 . Similar results were reported in C. carpio fed with M. piperita 61 and Lates calcarifer fed with ginger 49 . Stronger non specific immune response is associated with marked increase in the total protein, albumin and globulin levels of fish 25,62,63 .…”

“…It is well documented that administration of dietary herbal immunostimulants can stimulate the non-specific immune response, elevate disease resistance and improve growth performance of fish and shell fish. Stimulation of the immune response of fish by dietary herbal supplements is of high concern for commercial aquaculture sector [47][48][49] . This study is the first attempt to investigate the effects of Limonia acidissima Fruit as a dietary immunostimulant on the growth performance, innate immunity and disease resistance of Catla.…”

Disease management has become prominent in aquaculture due to emergence of antibiotic resistant pathogens and overuse of chemotherapeutic agents. One among the developmental strategies to control disease outbreak is by enhancing the fish immunity using immunostimulants. The use of dietary herbal immunostimulants can improve the immune defence of fishes, providing resistance against infections. The present study evaluated the possible effects of Limonia acidissima L. fruit (wood apple) supplemented diets on the growth, innate immunity and disease resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila in Catla fish. Catla catla fingerlings (mean weight 5.0 ± 0.5 g) were separated into four groups and cultivated in 100-L tank. Each group was fed with diets supplemented with 0 g, 1.5 g, 3 g and 6 g per 100 g feed twice daily. Fish were examined for growth and innate immune parameters at 30 days interval up to 120 days. Results revealed that wood apple supplemented diets enhanced the growth and innate immune responses of Catla during the feeding trial. Growth performance, haematological parameters, biochemical parameters and immunological indices significantly (p < 0.05) increased in fish fed with experimental diets. The relative survival percentage after A. hydrophila challenge increased in fish fed with Limonia acidissima diet. Thus, the result suggested that fish fed Limonia acidissima Fruit supplemented diet enhanced growth, improved immune system and increased survival rate in C. catla fingerlings.

“…Like thymol, carvacrol also displays antimicrobial activity (Helander, Alakomi, Latva-Kala, Mattila-Sandholm, & Pol, 1998). Several researches have reported the beneficial effects of dietary garlic, ginger and thyme as dietary additives (Talpur, Ikhwanuddin, & Bolong, 2013;Al-Salahy, 2002;Nya & Austin, 2009;Haghighi & Sharif Rohani, 2013;Shalaby, Khattab, & Abdel Rahman, 2006;Chrubasik et al, 2005;Şahan, Özütok, & Kurutaş, 2016;McDevitt, Hillman, Acamovic, & Cross, 2007) in fish, but there is no documented evidence about the effect of these medicinal herbs or other herbal plants on sobaity sea bream. Pasteurellosis or photobacteriosis is a type of bacterial septicemia in marine fish caused by Photobacterium damselae (Naseri et al, 2014).…”

The present study was aimed at determining the effects of medicinal herbs adjuvants on growth, hematoebiochemical parameters, some non-specific immunity and disease resistance to Photobacterium damselae in Sobaity sea bream (Sparidentex hasta). The fish (mean body weight 3.08±0.31 g) were fed fishmeal diets supplemented with either 1% of Garlic (Allium sativum), 1% supplemented of Ginger (Zingiber officinale), 1% supplemented of thyme (Thymus vulgaris), a mixture of these herbs (1% Garlic + 1% Ginger + 1% thyme), and control diet without medicinal herbs, for 8 weeks. The highest weight gains (WG %) and the specific growth rate (SGR) were in fish that fed diets with the mixture of three medicinal herbs (P<0.05). The number of WBC and RBC showed a significant increase in ginger and the mixture of three medicinal herbs compared to the control (P<0.05). The highest total protein and the lowest cholesterol levels were observed in treated groups with ginger diet (P<0.05). The highest albumin and the lowest triglyceride levels were achieved in mixture of these three herbsgroup. The analysis of AST and ALT were significantly decreased in the mixture of these three herbs and ginger groups (P<0.05). The lowest ALP level were showed in mixture of these three herbs group. Furthermore, serum lysozyme activity, total immunoglobulin (Ig) and complement activity (ACH50) were significantly increased in the mixture of three medicinal herbs fed fish and ginger groups (P<0.05). After feeding experiment, fish were infected with Photobacterium damselae strain FN1 and mortalities were recorded. The results of this study demonstrated that dietary mixture of three medicinal herbs and ginger groups could be an improvement in the growth and some non-specific immunity of Sobaity sea bream fry.

Plants have been reported to produce various effects such as antistress, growth promotion, appetite stimulation, immunostimulation, aphrodisiac and to have antipathogen properties in fish and shrimp aquaculture due to their varied active principles such as alkaloids, terpenoids, tannins, saponins and flavonoids. To date, most scientific studies on the use of medicinal plants in aquaculture have focused on identification of biological activity rather than natural product determination. The plant species that have displayed the highest potential for use in aquaculture are garlic (Allium sativum), pomegranate (Punica granatum), bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), Indian ginseng (Whitania somnifera) and ginger (Zingiber officinale). Algae are considered to be a rich source of original bioactive molecules which display multiple bioactivities. In aquaculture, several recent studies have showed the potential of algae for the treatment of pathogens or to improve fish fitness.
