“…Furthermore, a signi cant increment in the lysozyme mRNA expression was observed in the Cu-NPs fed L. vannamei shrimp (Bhoopathy et al, 2021). A rmative effects of spirulina platensis on the inherent immunity of sh, including lysozyme activity were noticed earlier (Awad et al, 2022;Cao et al, 2018a;Mohammadiazarm et al, 2021). Our nding may be accompanied by the induction of the humoral immunity of Nile tilapia after Cu-NPs and SP administration as curcumin provokes cytokines production with activating of macrophages and neutrophils, which regulate the immunity response of sh (Jagetia and Aggarwal, 2007).…”

“…(Güroy et al, 2012;Palmegiano et al, 2008). According to numerous research on Nile tilapia supplementation of spirulina signi cantly improved growth rates, immune response, and disease resistance (Abdel-Tawwab and Ahmad, 2009; Amer, 2016; Awad et al, 2022;Mahmoud et al, 2018). S. platensis is also recorded to have bene cial impacts on disease resistance and immunity of African cat sh Clarias gariepinus (Promya and Chitmanat, 2011), due to its content of pigments that have antioxidative valuables and can scavenge free radicals.…”

“…The curcumin growth-promoting effect could be related to its enhanced digestion activity via increasing the activities of lipase, trypsin, and amylase enzymes in intestine and hepatopancreas to facilitate absorption of nutrients and consequently amended nutrient utilization and feed e ciency (Abd El-Hakim et al, 2020;Jiang et al, 2016). Curcumin has an attractive avor, concurrently it could augment the palatability of feed and therefore increased the feed intake(Alagawany et al, 2021).It is well described that the dietary supplementation of Spirulina Arthrospira platensis has enhanced the growth performance of Nile tilapia(Awad et al, 2022), Caspian brown trout(Roohani et al, 2019), as well as Oscar sh, Astronotus ocellatus(Mohammadiazarm et al, 2021). These outcomes are attributed to the high contents of bioactive compounds in spirulina, involving polyunsaturated fatty acids, mainly γlinolenic acid, polysaccharides, and also pigments such as total carotenoids; Zeaxanthin, β-carotene, chlorophyll, and phycocyanin(Awad et al, 2022;Roohani et al, 2019;Rosas et al, 2019).…”

The positive effects of feeding nano-curcumin and Spirulina platensis on O. niloticus's growth performance, hepatoprotective ability, antioxidant response, immunity, digestibility, and organ histopathology were predicted by this study. Nile tilapia fingerlings (n = 180 fish; 10 ± 0.5 g) were divided into three groups (three replicates/group) and fed diets containing zero percent (control), 30 mg kg-1 curcumin nanoparticles (Cu-NPs group), and 5 g kg-1 Spirulina platensis (SP group). Growth performance, haematological, antioxidant, biochemical, and immunological markers plus histological changes were evaluated after the feeding study lasted 56 days. Our results revealed that Cu-NPs and SP have favorable effects on carcass composition, growth performance, hematological, and biochemical parameters. Moreover, Cu-NPs and SP supplementation significantly elevated serum Ig M level (p < 0.01, p < 0.05), lysozyme (p < 0.001), amylase (p < 0.05, p < 0.01), lipase (p < 0.05) and protease (p < 0.01) activities unlike the control group. Additionally, significant elevation of SOD (p < 0.001) and GPx (p < 0.01, p < 0.05) activities with diminished MDA (p < 0.001, p < 0.01) production was noticed in SP and Cu-NPs groups compared to control one. Overall, diets supplemented with Cu-NPs and SP effectively improved the growth performance, hepatic function, immune response, and antioxidant impacts in Nile tilapia fingerlings.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the effects of a potential probiotic feed mixture containing Pseudomonas putida, in comparison to a yeast product (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), on the growth, immune response, and protection against Aeromonas hydrophila infection in Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus.MethodsNile Tilapia were divided into three groups and subjected to a 60‐day feeding regimen: the first group served as a control, receiving a commercial diet; the second group received a basal diet mixed with 1 × 107 CFU/g diet of P. putida; and the third group was fed a basal diet mixed with 1 g/kg diet of dried S. cerevisiae, resulting in a final concentration of 107 CFU/g of feeds. After 2 months of supplementation, various parameters including survival rate, body weight gain, feed conversion rate, specific growth rate, serum lysozyme activity, phagocytic activity, nitroblue tetrazolium activity, and disease resistance against A. hydrophila were evaluated.ResultBoth probiotic‐treated groups exhibited significant improvements compared to the control group. Specifically, enhanced survival rates, body weight gains, feed conversion rates, and specific growth rates were observed in the probiotic‐treated groups. Moreover, these groups demonstrated increased serum lysozyme, phagocytic, and nitroblue tetrazolium activities, indicative of an improved immune response. Notably, the probiotic‐treated groups displayed enhanced resistance against A. hydrophila infection. Histopathological examination revealed that P. putida significantly augmented the nonspecific immune response in Nile Tilapia.ConclusionThis preliminary study underscores the potential benefits of P. putida supplementation in Nile Tilapia diets. The inclusion of P. putida resulted in enhanced growth performance, improved immune status, and effective control of A. hydrophila infection. These findings suggest that P. putida holds promise as a valuable component in feed mixtures for promoting the growth and health of Nile Tilapia.

This research was carried out to study the bacterial etiology of ulcerative syndrome in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and its associated environmental stressors. A total of 90 live and moribund Nile tilapia showing signs of ulcerative dermatitis were collected from various fish ponds in El-Sharkia Province, Egypt, during the summer seasons from June 2019 to August 2020. Collected fish were subjected to full clinical and postmortem investigation followed by bacteriological and molecular identification of the bacterial agents as well as histopathological examinations. Moreover, water samples from the fish sampling sites were collected and analyzed physiochemically and microbiologically. Furthermore, the pathogenicity of the isolated strains was assessed by challenging apparently healthy Nile tilapia to determine the LD50. Clinically, the examined fish exhibited ulcerative dermatitis as focal or fused large ulcers surrounded by red zones of hemorrhages at different body parts. Bacteriologically, Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria and A. caviae were isolated and identified. Moreover, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis verified the identity of these species. Antibiogram profiling of the recovered Aeromonas sp. isolates showed complete resistance to ampicillin, with high susceptibility to gentamycin, trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole, and erythromycin. Histopathological examination of the affected fish revealed epidermal necrosis with dermal edema and an influx of inflammatory cells into the dermis and hypodermis. The LD50 of A. veronii biovar sobria and A. caviae was estimated as 1.5 × 107 and 1.5 × 108 CFU/fish; respectively. The water temperature and ammonia concentrations recorded a significant rise (P ≤ 0.05) in July and August compared to June; however, the highest pH levels were recorded during August, followed by July. Also, the total bacterial load significantly increased (P ≤ 0.05). Finally, it was concluded that the improvement of water quality helps sustain the health of farmed fish .
