“…hydrophila decreased in the fish fed Amphora-supplemented diets, as compared to the control group, with the lowest percentage being recorded in the A3 fish group. Similar results were reported byAyoub et al (2019) andSaleh et al (2020), who reported a decrease in Oreochromis niloticus mortality after feeding them with A. coffeaeformis-treated feed and challenging them with A. hydrophila. The reduced mortality in the A. coffeaeformis group could be attributed to bioactive substances resulting from the treated feed.…”

“…FCR was significantly modulated in all groups, again, with the most promising results in the 3%-fed group. Spirulina platensis similarly improved related growth parameters at concentrations of 0.5 and 1% in 3 months of being fed to juvenile Nile tilapia (El-Daim et al, 2021); other studies conducted by Ayoub et al (2019) and Saleh et al (2020) proved the effectiveness of A. coffeaeformis in improving growth in Nile tilapia. Supplementation with A. coffeaeformis may improve growth, owing to improved nutrient digestibility (Valente et al, 2006) and the different nutrients in A. coffeaeformis, including vitamins and minerals that promote growth (Belay et al, 1996).…”

“…Few studies have been conducted on the improvement of growth performance indicators via the diet of aquatic animals, with additives such as A. coffeaeformis (Alwaleed et al, 2021; Ayoub et al, 2019; Saleh et al, 2020). In the present study, a significant increase in the final weight, weight gain (%) and SGR was recorded in all groups fed A. coffeaeformis , with the highest being recorded in the 3%‐fed group.…”

In the present study, the Amphora coffeaeformis diatom was applied in different concentrations to the diet of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) to investigate its potential effects in improving growth performance, as well as enhancing immune and antioxidant responses to control Aeromonas hydrophila infection. The tilapia fingerlings were divided into 4 groups, and for 4 weeks were fed A. coffeaeformis at various concentrations (0, 1, 2 and 3%). Growth‐stimulating activity from dietary A. coffeaeformis was observed, particularly in the 2% and 3% treatment groups. Furthermore, serum immunoglobulin M (IgM), nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), total‐superoxide dismutase (T‐SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were evaluated at the 2nd and 4th weeks from the onset of feeding and showed significant improvement (p < 0.05) in the 2 and 3% groups. At the end of the feeding trial, the tilapia were challenged via an intraperitoneal (IP) injection of virulent Aeromonas hydrophila. Fish survival, serum IgM, nitric oxide, MDA, T‐SOD, CAT, GPx, and liver, kidney, spleen, and gill histopathology were all evaluated post challenge. Significant improvements in both immunological and antioxidant parameters continued until the post‐challenge measurements. Overall survival was significantly increased in the 2 and 3% groups, compared to the control and 1% groups. Histopathological examination revealed a decrease in the degenerative and destructive effects of A. hydrophila infection on the liver, kidneys, spleen, and gill tissues, indicating that dietary A. coffeaeformis administered at concentrations of 2 and 3% could be recommended as a feed additive for the control of A. hydrophila infection in Nile tilapia.

“…The administration of dietary feed additives, such as medicinal plants, as alternates to antibiotics, has increased in response to recent dramatic growth seen in the aquaculture industry worldwide (Adel et al., 2020; Citarasu, 2010; Ghehdarijani et al., 2016; Saleh, Ismail, Sayed, Zaghloul, & Saleh, 2020; Santos et al., 2019). Furthermore, the increase noticed in the use of these additives is due to the fact that they can be easily prepared, they are cheap, and they have limited undesirable effects on either fish or the environment (Adel, Pourgholam, et al, 2016; Adel, Sakineh Yeganeh, Dadar, Sakai, & Dawood, 2016; Banaee, Sureda, Mirvaghefi, & Rafei, 2011; Van Hai, 2015).…”

The potential benefits of Mentha longifolia on growth performance and innate immunity parameters in Caspian kutum ( Rutilus frisii kutum )

The current research was conducted to examine the benefits of Mentha longifolia (ML) administration through diet on growth performance and haematological, biochemical, and immunological parameters of Caspian kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum). Fish with average weight of 3 g were fed for 8 weeks with diets supplemented with 0%, 2%, 4% and 6% ML‐extract. Feeding with 6% ML for 8 weeks significantly improved the growth performance. The highest values in total protein content, protease and esterase activities were observed in the 6% ML. Feeding with 4% and 6% ML led to a significant increase in the alternative complement, respiratory burst activities and total immunoglobulins in blood as well as lysozyme activity in the mucus and serum. The enhancement of skin mucus immune parameters was observed in fish fed with dietary (≥4%) ML supplement. The mucosal antibacterial effects revealed that the highest ML concentration (6%) had the maximum bacterial growth inhibition zone diameter (mm) and MIC compared with other groups in the study. White blood cell numbers and haematocrit values were significantly higher than in the control groups following the use of 4% and 6% ML. The highest red blood cell counts resulted from the use of 6% ML. Although 4% and 6% ML led to a decrease in the number of lymphocytes, the neutrophils increased after using the same dose, compared with the control group. Triglycerides levels significantly decreased in fish fed with 4% and 6% ML; however, no significant changes were observed in other blood biochemical parameters. Thus, it can be concluded that diets supplemented with ML‐extract could significantly impact Caspian kutum by improving growth performance and boosting their immune response.

“…With increasing expansion of aquaculture worldwide, there is growing pressure to maximize the efficacy of finfish culture while ensuring production sustainability. Typically, feeds should be economically viable and formulated to enhance fish performance and health by extending beyond basic fish nutritional requirements (Saleh, 2020; Saleh et al, 2020; Wassef et al, 2010, 2020). Nutritional quality can positively affect immunity, lipid metabolism and tissue growth and repair in humans and other animals (reviewed in Gil, 2002).…”
