Bifunctional clove oil nanoparticles for anesthesia and anti-bacterial activity in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Effects of Assam tea extract on growth, skin mucus, serum immunity and disease resistance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) against Streptococcus agalactiae

“…recovery rates [9,10]. It is well-documented that numerous types of medicinal plants contain the antioxidant properties which can delay or prevent oxidative damage, and thereby play an essential role in disease prevention [7,11,12].…”

Essential oils as anaesthetics and sedatives in native Brazilian fish, with a special emphasis on Colossoma macropomum : A review

“…Mentha piperita and Mentha arvensis , whose EOs are rich in menthol, have been shown to induce anaesthesia in Acipenser persicus and Amphiprion ocellaris respectively (Mazandarani & Hoseini, 2017; Pedrazzani & Neto, 2016). It is important to note the advances made in technology regarding the use of EOs and isolated compounds in fish, such as Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ), which include the generation of a nanotechnology‐based anaesthetic agent obtained from clove oil nanoparticles with high water solubility, and improves sedation and anaesthesia with a sustained‐release product (Yostawonkul et al, 2019). In addition, nanoemulsions made from Nectandra grandiflora oil promoted the stability of the main compounds of this EO for more than 60 days when stored at 4°C, and the concentrations of 30 and 100 mg L −1 of the nanoemulsion are suggested for induction and anaesthesia, respectively, without side effects (Rodrigues et al, 2021).…”

Biodegradable peptide polymers as alternatives to antibiotics used in aquaculture

“…In order to replace the use of antibiotics in aquaculture, multiple strategies have been actively explored such as vaccines, 21,22 biological control, [23][24][25][26] antimicrobial peptides, 27,28 medicinal herb extracts 29,30 and nanoparticles. 31,32 However, none of these strategies meet the requirement for antibiotic substitution to date. It is highly desired that antibiotic substitutes in aquaculture have broad spectrum activity, potent activity against drug-resistant bacteria, low cost of production, excellent biocompatibility, and most critically full biodegradability to give degraded products that completely lose antibacterial activity and will not cause antimicrobial selective pressure in organisms and environments.…”
