“…In this study, significant differences in SOD level were observed between experimental groups (P<0.05) and the highest SOD level was showed in the mixture of these three herbs group. However, unlike this study, Yuan et al (2007) noticed that there was no significant difference in SOD activity between the 0.5% and 1% herbal immune regulation mixture groups and the control group.…”

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.

“…Herbal drugs are known to possess immunomodulatory properties and generally act by stimulating both specific and non-specific immunity [146] [147] In the past few years the medicinal plants investigated for their immunostimulatory response on fish include Ocimum sanctum, Acalypha indica, Phyllanthus niruri, Phyllanthus emblica, Azadirachta indica, Crossandra infundibuliformis, Aloe vera, Curcuma longa, Solanum trilobatum, Piper betle, Murraya koenigi, and Mentha piperita [153], turmeric [20]; Chinese herbs Astragalus membranaceus, Polygonum multiflorum, Isatis tinctoria, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Lonicera japonica [154] [155], Massa medicata, Crataegi fructus, Scutelaria baicalensis, Artemisia capillaries, Cnidium officinale [156]. The immunomodulatory properties of Holi Basil, Tulsi (O. sanctum) have been studied in detail by many workers [157] [158] [159] [160], Das et al [144].…”

“…Chuntao et al [154] studied the response of a herbal immunoregulation mixture (HIRM) comprising of extracts of the following traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs): Astragalus membranaceus, Polygonum multiflorum, Isatis tinctoria, Glycyrrhiza glabra. The results showed that, compared with those in the control group, the diets with 0.5% and 1% HIRM resulted in significant increase in macrophage phagocytic activity, macrophage ROS and the levels of total protein, globulin, albumin and NOS activity in serum indicating that the herbal mixture elevated the immunity in carp (Cyprinus carp).…”

The use of chemotherapeutants, antibiotics, and pesticides in aqua farms and non-adherence to scientific management practices have resulted in adverse impact on aquacultural production, serious outbreaks of diseases, development of drug resistance in microbes, and accumulation of antibiotics and pesticide residues in finfish and shellfish and environmental pollution. As a result, a need has been felt by the aquaculturists as well as aquatic animal health management professionals to find a suitable alternative therapy in place of antibiotics and chemotherapy. Phytotherapy has come to be recognized as a handy and viable alternative to chemotherapy, as it is economical, effective, non-resistance forming, renewable, eco-friendly and farmer-friendly. Although the use of medicinal plants is known to humanity since the dawn of human civilization for the treatment and control of human and animal diseases but its importance in combating finfish and shellfish diseases has been realized only recently. The phytotherapy of aquacultural diseases is in its infancy in most part of the world except in China to some extent. However, many important contributions in this field by different workers during the last quarter of the 20 th century and early 21 st century have shown encouraging results and opened new vistas in phytotherapy of aquatic animals. The present review crtically evaluates the present status of knowledge of phytotherapy in the world combating various aquacultural diseases, identifying the bottlenecks and suggests remedial measures.
