“…In the present study, respiratory burst activity was significantly enhanced by increasing dietary inclusion of U. dioica. The present results are in agreement with the previous studies of increased respiratory burst activity of L. rohita fed with Avicennia aspera [76]; rainbow trout treated with glycyrhizine isolated from Glycyrhiza glabra [77] and Amphiprion sebae fed 4% and 8% supplementation diet for 6e8 weeks [78]. The increased respiratory burst activity could be due to the presence of flavonoid glycosides in the stinging nettle, which can modulate the degranulation and oxidative burst of neutrophils in fish [79].…”

We investigated effects of dietary administration of stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) on growth performance, biochemical, hematological and immunological parameters in juvenile and adult Victoria Labeo (Labeo victorianus) against Aeromonas hydrophila. Fish were divided into 4 groups and fed for 4 and 16 weeks with 0%, 1%, 2% and 5% of U. dioica incorporated into the diet. Use of U. dioica in the diet resulted in improved biochemical, hematological and immunological parameters. Among the biochemical parameters; plasma cortisol, glucose, triglyceride and cholesterol decreased while total protein and albumin in fish increased with increasing dietary inclusion of U. dioica. Among the haematology parameters: red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC) counts, haematocrit (Htc), mean cell haemoglobin (MCH), mean cell haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and netrophiles increased with increasing dietary inclusion levels of U. dioica, some depending on the fish age. Serum immunoglobulins, lysozyme activity and respiratory burst were the main immunological parameters in the adult and juvenile L. victorianus measured and they all increased with increasing herbal inclusion of U. dioica in the diet. Dietary incorporation of U. dioica at 5% showed significantly higher relative percentage survival (up to 95%) against A. hydrophila. The current results demonstrate that using U. dioica can stimulate fish immunity and make L. victorianus more resistant to bacterial infection (A. hydrophila).

The current study investigated the effects of oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus, extract on immunological and hematological parameters of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. The fish were fed diets containing 0 (control), 1, and 2% supplementation of the oyster mushroom extract for 6 wk. Blood samples were collected weekly for the first 6 weeks. After 6 wk of feeding, the fish were challenged with Lactococcus garvieae and mortality was recorded. The results of this study showed that feeding rainbow trout an oyster mushroom extract–supplemented diet stimulated phagocytic activity of phagocytic cells, lysozyme activity, and myeloperoxidase activity in serum, but it did not significantly affect the total serum immunoglobulin level. At the same time, a significant increase was found in the number of neutrophils, monocytes, and total white blood cells. Fish fed the diet supplemented with oyster mushroom extract showed reduced mortalities following L. garvieae infection compared with controls. These results show that supplementation of fish diets with oyster mushroom extract at 1 and 2% concentrations significantly imrpoves hematological parameters and modulates the immune response against L. garvieae in rainbow trout.

“…Clownfish ( Amphiprion sebae ) vaccinated with live V. alginolyticus and fed diet supplemented with grey mangrove extract ( Avicennia marina ) at 1, 2 and 4% for 8 weeks, showed exhibited an increase in respiratory burst, phagocytic, lysozyme and complement activities as well as survival rate especially at higher dose, that is, 4% (Dhayanithi et al . ). A. marina contains more than 66 chemical components including terpenoids, steroids, flavones, glucosides, flavonoids and glycosides, iridoids, fatty acids and naphthoquinones (Guo et al .…”

The most prominent limiting factor in aquaculture nowadays is infectious diseases as they lead to massive economic losses. These diseases are often partly controlled by vaccination, herbs or probiotics. Despite the fact that vaccination is the most effective prophylactic approach to disease prevention, researchers have started to use plant-derived products and probiotics as adjuvants to boost the efficacy of fish vaccines. This review describes the efficacy and potency of plant extracts/essences and probiotics as adjuvants for various vaccines in aquaculture.
