“…In our study, the amount of GPx did not change. Similar to our study, the In other studies, the effect of natural feed additives increased GPx levels in the liver (Elabd, Wang, Shaheen, Yao, & Abbass, 2016;Hoseinifar et al, 2017a), spleen (E. Yilmaz, 2019) and skin of fish (Hoseinifar et al, 2017b). In our study, SOD and CAT quantities increased significantly in the experimental groups compared with the control group.…”

“…Similar to our study, the GPx activity of shrimp fed a diet enriched with 0.01% herbal extract did not show a significant change in the 2nd and 4th weeks of the trial (Harikrishnan et al, ; Harikrishnan, Balasundaram, & Heo, ; Harikrishnan, Balasundaram, Jawahar, & Heo, ). In other studies, the effect of natural feed additives increased GPx levels in the liver (Elabd, Wang, Shaheen, Yao, & Abbass, ; Hoseinifar et al, ), spleen (E. Yilmaz, ) and skin of fish (Hoseinifar et al, ). In our study, SOD and CAT quantities increased significantly in the experimental groups compared with the control group.…”

“…In our study, carob syrup increased lysozyme activity. Similarly, the dietary inclusion of anthocyanin (E. Yilmaz, ), ginger (El‐Sabai, El‐Murr, Galal, & Abd El‐Motaal, ), yucca meal (Njagi et al, ) and Enteromopha prolifera (Li et al, ) in tilapia feed significantly increased serum lysozyme levels. Myeloperoxidase is an antibacterial enzyme in neutrophils (Buchan et al, ).…”

“…In our study, among all groups exposed to ammonia, the group fed with 1.25% carob syrup had a significantly increased survival rate at the end of 96 hr. Similarly, Nile tilapia fed supplemented diets with 20 mg/kg anthocyanin had higher resistance when exposed to high ammonia nitrogen stress (E. Yilmaz, ). In another study, succinic acid increased the antioxidant capacity and resistance to ammonia stress in shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ; Duan, Wang, Zhang, Sun, & Wang, ).…”

In this study, carob (Ceratonia siliqua) syrup was supplemented in the diet of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), and its effects on growth performance, immunological and serum biochemical parameters, gene expression responses and ammonia resistance of the fish were investigated. Carob syrup was added to the fish diet in ratios of 0%, 5%, 2.5%, 1.25% and 0.625%, such that five different diets were prepared: control, Cerat5000, Cerat2500, Cerat1250 and Cerat625 respectively. The fish were fed with experimental diets for 60 days. The survival rate of fish fed with 5% carob syrup decreased compared with all other experimental groups. Thus, this study found that feeding tilapia fish with 1.25% carob syrup for 60 days increased gene expression responses, some innate immune parameters and ammonia resistance of the fish without negative effects on growth performance or serum biochemical variables.

“…The toxic effect of ammonia is immediate, linear and dose‐dependent (Lin & Chen 2001; Lemarié et al 2004; Park et al 2007; Hegazi et al 2010). In fish such as tilapia, besides affecting the immune response, the exposure to ammonia results in reduced growth, liver tissue degeneration, gill hyperplasia, hyperexcitability and ultimately fish mortality (Yilmaz 2019). Similarly, in shrimp, high levels of ammonia in the water affect nutrient assimilation and growth, immune response, oxygen transportation and consumption, moulting and survival (Cheng et al 2013); also, the exposure to ammonia increases the risk of infection by pathogens, such as Vibro alginolyticus , Lactococcus garvieae and Enterococcus spp.…”

Aquaculture is an economic activity that faces the unavoidable problem of water quality detriment, which is mainly generated by the improper management of production ponds, including inadequate water circulation and aeration, accumulation of undigested food residues, excretion of metabolic by‐products by the cultivated organisms and other. In addition, the increase in suspended organic matter together with the presence and generation of nitrogen compounds can severely affect the physiology of the animal, leading to significant losses in production. Ammonia (NH3), nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3) are toxic in different scales and environmental conditions; therefore, reducing their concentrations in the culture units has paramount relevance. In this regard, bioflocs are an efficient alternative to transform nitrogen compounds into a non‐toxic form, taking advantage of the capabilities of the microbial communities conforming them. Also, nitrogen can be harnessed and incorporated as organic nitrogen, making the biofloc a source of useful natural food for the cultivated organism. The substantial reduction in the rate of water exchange favoured by the biofloc technology (BFT) is a beneficial advantage for both the production systems and the environment, diminishing the risk of introducing pathogens into the pond in parallel with the improvement in the water quality of effluents. Ammonia oxidation is an advantage adding value to the BFT systems and is discussed in this review.
