“…Similar results were found for L. calcarifer fed with diets containing A. sativum (Talpur and Ikhwanuddin 2012) and leaves of M. piperita (Talpur 2014). With the experimental bacterial infection, there was a decrease in Hb in the tambaqui fed with 1.5% of oil in the diet, due to the stress induced by the pathogen, as reported by Talpur and Ikhwanuddin (2012) in L. calcarifer. The Hb and MCHC of the tambaquis presented significant reductions after the challenge with A. hydrophila, consequently decreasing the O 2 carrying capacity of the fish (Vijayan et al 1997).…”

“…Only after the bacterial challenge did the plasma protein concentration increase in the fish of the control group and in the fish fed with the diet containing 1.5% of M. piperita essential oil. Feeding fish with garlic (A. sativum), ginger (Zingiber officinale) and neem (Azadirachta indica) (Talpur and Ikhwanuddin 2012;2013 a,b) increased protein concentration in L. calcarifer; and this was also reported to C. carpio fed with M. piperita extract (Abasali and Mohamad 2010). However, in tambaquis fed with M. piperita oil, plasma protein levels remained constant.…”

“…In Lates calcarifer, Allium sativum causes hematological changes and improves both oxygen transport and the immune response (Talpur and Ikhwanuddin 2012); Ocimum basilicum (basil) increases the resistance of Cyprinus carpio against infection by Aeromonas hydrophila (Amirkhani and Firouzbaksh 2015); and diets containing Mangifera indica (mango) kernel increase the resistance of L. rohita (Sahu et al 2007). Astaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment produced by some algae, and bacteria, was used at concentrations of 50 and 100 mg kg -1 in the diet of common carp C. carpio and, was found to stimulate growth, hematological alterations, immune response and specific bacterial disease protection (Jagruthi et al 2014).…”

In fish farmings, diseases can be reduced by using immunostimulants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunostimulant potential of Mentha piperita in tambaqui fed with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% of oil per kg of commercial fish feed. The fish were inoculated with Aeromonas hydrophila to challenge them. Hematological and biochemical parameters were determined after 30 days of feeding and seven days after the challenge. There was no mortality and M. piperita oil did not influence fish production parameters. However, blood hemoglobin concentration (Hb) increased in the fish fed with 0.5 and 1.5% of oil per kg of diet; albumin increased in those fed with 1.0%; cholesterol increased in all groups with oil; and triglycerides increased in those fed with 0.5%. After the bacterial challenge, the fish showed decreases in Hb when fed with diet enriched with 1.5% oil per kg of diet, in mean corpuscular volume with 1.0% and in mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration with 0 and 1.5%. Protein levels increased in groups with 0 and 1.5% of oil and albumin when fed with 0 and 1.0%; cholesterol levels increased in the control group; and high levels of triglycerides were observed in the groups with 0, 0.5 and 1.5%. Thus, M. piperita essential oil promoted hematological alterations in tambaqui and can be recommended in diets containing up to 1.0% per kg, because of the minimal physiological modifications caused. However, additional studies are necessary to obtain more information regarding to the physiological effects of this immunostimulant.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o potencial imunoestimulante do óleo essencial de Mentha piperita na dieta de tambaqui com dietas contendo 0; 0,5; 1,0; 1,5% de inclusão do óleo por kg de ração comercial para peixes. Os tambaquis foram desafiados com a bactéria Aeromonas hydrophila. Hematologia e bioquímica dos tambaquis foram determinados após 30 dias de alimentação e sete dias do desafio. Não houve mortalidade dos peixes durante o experimento, sendo que o óleo não influenciou os parâmetros produtivos dos peixes. Entretanto, a concentração de hemoglobina (Hb) aumentou em peixes alimentados com 0,5 e 1,5% de óleo por kg de dieta; a albumina aumentou em 1,0%; o colesterol aumentou em todos os grupos com óleo; e triglicérides em 0,5% por kg de dieta. Após desafio bacteriano ocorreram diminuições da Hb nos peixes alimentados com 1,5% de óleo; do volume corpuscular médio com 1,0%; e da concentração de hemoglobina corpuscular média com 0 e 1,5%. Níveis aumentados de proteína nos grupos 0 e 1,5%; da albumina em 0 e 1,0%; do colesterol no controle; e dos triglicérides em 0, 0,5 e 1,5% de óleo na dieta. Assim o óleo essencial de M. ...

“…Moreover, the results indicated a steady increase in the WBC with the feeding period. Herbal immunostimulants can affect the haematological parameters of fishes 56,57 . Significant enhancement in haematological parameters may be due to enhanced erythropoietic centers in (kidney/spleen), decreased erythroclasia and enhanced Fe metabolism.…”

Disease management has become prominent in aquaculture due to emergence of antibiotic resistant pathogens and overuse of chemotherapeutic agents. One among the developmental strategies to control disease outbreak is by enhancing the fish immunity using immunostimulants. The use of dietary herbal immunostimulants can improve the immune defence of fishes, providing resistance against infections. The present study evaluated the possible effects of Limonia acidissima L. fruit (wood apple) supplemented diets on the growth, innate immunity and disease resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila in Catla fish. Catla catla fingerlings (mean weight 5.0 ± 0.5 g) were separated into four groups and cultivated in 100-L tank. Each group was fed with diets supplemented with 0 g, 1.5 g, 3 g and 6 g per 100 g feed twice daily. Fish were examined for growth and innate immune parameters at 30 days interval up to 120 days. Results revealed that wood apple supplemented diets enhanced the growth and innate immune responses of Catla during the feeding trial. Growth performance, haematological parameters, biochemical parameters and immunological indices significantly (p < 0.05) increased in fish fed with experimental diets. The relative survival percentage after A. hydrophila challenge increased in fish fed with Limonia acidissima diet. Thus, the result suggested that fish fed Limonia acidissima Fruit supplemented diet enhanced growth, improved immune system and increased survival rate in C. catla fingerlings.

“…Currently herbs play a considerable role in aquaculture. Several studies have reported that herbal extracts have potential as antimicrobials against various fish pathogens (Rattanachaikunsopon and Phumkhachorn 2010, Alsaid et al 2010, Talpur and Ikhwanuddin 2012. Thus, it is of interest to study the potential of EOs as antimicrobial agents against N. seriolae.…”

Microplate resazurin assay was applied to investigate the in vitro activity of four essential oils (EOs); cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), thyme (Thymus vulgaris), lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) and tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) oils against 80 clinical isolates of the fish pathogen Nocardia seriolae. The checkerboard test was then used to determine the possible synergistic effect of EOs combination against reference type strains of fish nocardiosis. All tested EOs had antibacterial activity against N. seriolae isolates. Among the tested EOs, cinnamon and thyme oils both exhibited the lowest minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) with 5-160 and 10-160 μg/ml, respectively. The activities of lemongrass and tea tree EOs were noted to be less effective with MICs of 20-640 and 160->5120 μg/ml, respectively. The checkerboard panel of cinnamon-thyme EOs combination against N. seriolae ATCC43993 demonstrated a synergistic effect with a fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index of 0.75. For N. salmonicida ATCC27463, the combination panel showed an additive effect with an FIC index of 1.0. For N. asteroides ATCC19247, the combination panel demonstrated an indifference effect with an FIC index of 1.125. These results indicate that thyme and cinnamon oils alone or the combination of them at a given ratio has a promising potent clinical significance in the treatment of fish nocardiosis. Despite the promising results given by our in vitro studies, the clinical benefits of these EOs combinations can only be determined through carefully designed in vivo experimental studies.
