“…In the current study, the result showed that the supplementation of CCHM could obviously increase the activity of protease, amylase and lipase in the hepatopancreas, stomach and intestine of shrimp. Similar result also be supported by Qiu et al (2002), Wen et al (2012), Huang et al (2013), and Xu et al (2020).…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of complex Chinese herbal medicines (CCHM) on growth performance, digestive enzyme activity, immunity and metabolism and Vibrio parahemolyticus resistance of Litopenaeus vannamei. The 30‐day feeding experimental results indicated that dietary CCHM obviously increased the survival rate (SR), weight gain rate (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR) of shrimp. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) was obviously reduced by the CHMM. The supplementation of CCHM could significantly (p < 0.05) increase the activity of protease in the stomach, hepatopancreas and intestine of shrimp. The activities of amylase and lipase were enhanced significantly (p < 0.05) in the stomach, hepatopancreas and intestine of shrimp fed 10 g/kg CCHM diet. The number of haemocytes was increased significantly (p < 0.05) in the shrimp fed the diet with 10 and 15 g/kg CHMM. The activities of total superoxide dismutase (T‐SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐Px) and catalase (CAT) in the hepatopancreas of shrimp fed with 10 g/kg CCHM were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that of the control group. The gene expression levels of SOD, CAT, ATPase, TLR, chymotrypsin and GS in the hepatopancreas and intestine of prawns fed with 10 g/kg CCHM were significantly (p < 0.05) up‐regulated. In challenge experiment, the relative protection rate was significantly (p < 0.05) increased in the shrimp fed CCHM‐supplemental diet when challenged with V. parahaemolyticus. Comprehensive consideration of the current experimental results, the additive suitable dosage of the CCHM was 10 g/kg.

“…Moreover, the observed effects of plant extract supplementation in fish have been shown to be dose dependent. In fact, the inclusion of Chinese herbal medicines mixture at different doses (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 g/kg) in the diet of Japanese seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus) showed that 20 g/kg doses improve growth and were correlated with increase in the activity of trypsin and lipase [71]. However, the higher dose, that was 1.25-fold higher than 20 g/kg, did not promote growth even though it did promote lipase activity.…”

The larval stage is highly prone to stress due to the ontogenetic and metabolic alterations occurring in fish. Curcumin inclusion in diets has been shown to improve growth by modulating oxidative status, immune response, and/or feed digestibility in several fish species. The aim of the present work was to assess if dietary curcumin could promote marine fish larvae digestive maturation and improve robustness. Gilthead seabream larvae were fed a diet supplemented with curcumin at dose of 0 (CTRL), 1.5 (LOW), or 3.0 g/Kg feed for 27 days. From 4 to 24 days after hatching (DAH), no differences were observed in growth performance. At the end of the experiment (31 DAH) LOW larvae had a better condition factor than CTRL fish. Moreover, HIGH larvae showed higher trypsin and chymotrypsin activity when compared to CTRL fish. LOW and HIGH larvae were able to maintain the mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production during development, in contrast to CTRL larvae. In conclusion, curcumin supplementation seems to promote larvae digestive capacity and modulate the oxidative status during ontogeny. Furthermore, the present results provide new insights on the impacts of dietary antioxidants on marine larvae development and a possible improvement of robustness in the short and long term.

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.
