“…The increase in load density to 90 fish per L in the transport simulation of tambaqui juveniles increased ammonia and decrease dissolved oxygen concentrations, influencing survival, as is usually observed in fish transportation (Refaey, Tian, Tang & Li, ; Sampaio & Freire, ). The transport of Nile tilapia with 10 or 20 μl/L L. alba essential oil did not affect dissolved oxygen levels, but decreased ammonia levels compared to control group after 8 hr (Hohlenwerger et al., ). Sampaio and Freire () stated that in long time transportation, the increase in ammonia levels is the main reason of water deterioration.…”

“…The reduction in net ion effluxes was also observed in R. quelen juveniles transported with eugenol and the methanolic extract of C. buxifolia (Becker et al., ; Salbego et al., ) and essential oil from L. alba chemotype linalool (Becker et al., , ; Salbego et al., ), compared to control values. Ventilatory frequency was reduced in Oreochromis niloticus and R. quelen exposed to 10–20 μl/L essential oil from L. alba chemotype linalool (Becker et al., ; Hohlenwerger et al., ). This lower ventilatory frequency leads to a decrease on water flow in the gills, reducing the diffusion plasma‐water, explaining the lower ion effluxes observed in this study.…”

“…Examples include the chemotypes citral, limonene and linalool‐citral (Blank et al., ; Silva, Oliveira, Costa, Bizzo & Oliveira, ). Several studies have confirmed the essential oil of L. alba as viable anaesthetic alternative in aquaculture (Cárdenas et al., ; Cunha et al., ; Hohlenwerger et al., ; Souza et al., in press; Toni et al., ), and as sedative and stress reducers in fish and crustacean transport (Azambuja et al., ; Becker et al., ; Hohlenwerger et al., ; Parodi et al., ).…”

Lippia alba hydrolate (LAH) is produced as a secondary product in essential oil extraction. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of LAH in a simulation of the transport of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) juveniles. A series of 17 hr simulations were performed using load densities of 30, 60 and 90 juveniles per L and four LAH concentrations of 0.4%, 1%, 2% and 5%, with a control of just water. Fish survival, temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, pH, ammonia excretion, alkalinity water hardness and net Na+, K+, Cl‐ fluxes, were all evaluated before and after the transport simulations. Mucous cell densities in the gills were also determined microscopically, post simulation. The results showed that addition of 5% LAH achieved better survival during the simulation than the water control. Dissolved oxygen was significantly lower with an increased load density. Also, conductivity, NH4 excretion and net ionic fluxes (K+ and Cl−) were lower with 5% LAH, although mainly where higher load densities were tested. Mucous cell density was lower in LAH concentrations of 2% and 5%, again with higher load densities. In view of these findings, it is suggested that 5% LAH is an effective sedative for use in the transport of tambaqui, mainly with high load densities. This work is the first study of LAH and highlights its potential applications in aquaculture management.

“…In addition, the agroindustrial sector has focused on the use of L. Alba EO to control efficiently parasites that affect vegetable production (Moreira et al, 2009), improve grain conservation (Caballero-Gallardo et al, 2011;Peixoto et al, 2015a;Shukla, Kumar, Singh, & Dubey, 2009), improve the quality of products derived from livestock (Peixoto et al, 2015b;Lima et al, 2016;Chagas et al, 2016), as well as diminish damage during transport of ornamental aquatic species, like Hippocampus reidi (Cunha et al, 2011); anesthetics for model organisms, like Hypsiboas geographicus (Salbego et al, 2017a); sedatives, anesthetics, and preservatives in hedgehogs (Simões et al, 2017) and shrimp (Parodi et al, 2012), and fish of economic importance (Sena et al, 2016;Hohlenwerger et al, 2017;Cunha et al, 2010).…”

Introduction: Lippia alba is an aromatic species belonging to the Verbenaceae family. Its essential oils have been used in different industries, because of its biological properties. Objective: Identify the perspectives of the biotechnological applications of Lippia alba essential oils. Methodology: A scoping review was conducted on the biological activity of Lippia alba essential oils registered until October, 2018 in EBSCO, Embase, Scopus, and Lilacs databases. Results: Chemotypes I and III have been reported for different biological activities from the evaluations performed on microorganisms, fish, arthropods, small mammals, and cell lines; fundamentally associated with antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, antioxidant, and sedative effects, among others. Records focused mainly on the health, fishing industry, and agrifood sectors. Conclusion: Studies on the effect of essential oil are promising, but do not reflect a continuity of the research toward prototypes or finished commercial products. Research groups must unify evaluation methodologies and include in all studies the relationship between phytochemical and biological activity for the meta-analyses to be possible. Likewise, they must join efforts through the National System for Agricultural Innovation (SNIA, for the term in Spanish) to generate finished products that impact upon society and facilitate progress in the country’s bio-economy.

“…Lippia alba (Mill.) N. E. Brown (Verbenaceae) is widely available in South America and often used in folk medicine because of its analgesic, antiinflammatory, antipyretic, anaesthetic, sedative and expectorant properties (Hohlenwerger et al., , ; Machado, Pereira, & Batista, ; Sena et al., ). In addition, a great advantage in the use of this species is related to its ease of adaptation to different soils and its rapid growth (Yamamoto et al., ), which could contribute to the elaboration of products, such as essential oils.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary addition of the essential oil from Lippia alba (EOLA) on growth performance, biochemical and haematological variables and survival after Aeromonas spp. infection of Nile tilapia juveniles (Oreochromis niloticus). Five diets were evaluated with increasing levels of EOLA (0.0 control; 0.25; 0.50; 1.0; and 2.0 ml/kg diet). After 45 days of feeding, the fish were infected with Aeromonas spp. followed by a 14-day period of observation. There was no mortality during growth assessment. The addition of 2.0 ml EOLA/kg diet improved feed conversion ratio and condition factor and increased lysozyme activity and haematocrit (Hct), and decreased plasma globulin levels compared to the control group. The survival of fish infected with Aeromonas spp. was higher in those fed with 2.0 ml EOLA/kg diet than in fish fed with 0.0-0.5 ml EOLA/kg diet. We concluded that the inclusion of 2.0 ml EOLA/kg diet is recommended for Nile tilapia juveniles, because it improved feed conversion, Hct and immunological activity, did not provoke metabolic changes, and increased survival after Aeromonas spp. infection.
