“…Dietary GRJE supplementation significantly improved rockfish growth (final weight, weight gain, and SGR) and feed utilization (FE and PER), even at the lowest dose (0.25% GRJE). Numerous studies have shown that dietary supplementation with various types and concentrations of ginger significantly affects growth and feed utilization in fish [ 1 , 20 , 21 , 34 , 35 , 36 ]. Similar to our study, Naliato et al [ 19 ] showed that growth performance parameters of Oreochromis niloticus including final body weight, WG, SGR, feed intake and feed conversion ratio, and PER were responsive to the increase on dietary ginger powder supplementation, showing a dose-dependent response and a linear correlation.…”

“…In this study, plasma parameters of S. schlegelii were not significantly affected by dietary GRJE supplementation. Chung et al [ 21 ] reported that increasing concentrations of ginger essential oil in O. niloticus diet had a negative linear effect on plasma cholesterol level but did not significantly relate to plasma glucose, triglyceride, TPs, albumin, ALT, and AST. However, Cyprinus carpio fed ginger extract showed increases in serum TP, albumin, and globulin content [ 6 ].…”

“…Thus, we can conclude that, along with other ginger feed supplements, GRJE acts as a growth promoter and immunostimulant [ 1 , 6 , 16 , 21 ], enhancing antioxidant capacity, innate immune functions, and the overall health status of fish.…”

“…Among medicinal plants, ginger ( Zingiber officinale Roscoe) has been widely studied due to its antioxidant [ 9 ], antibacterial [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], antiparasitic [ 14 ], anti-inflammatory [ 1 ], immunostimulatory [ 15 , 16 , 17 ], and growth-promoting [ 1 , 17 , 18 ] properties. The benefits of ginger powder, ginger essential oil, and ginger extracts as a diet supplement for fish have been reported [ 6 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. However, the efficacy of using a ginger by-product from juice extraction as a feed supplement for black rockfish ( Sebastes schlegelii ) has not been investigated.…”

Plant-derived feed additives provide cost effective and environmentally friendly alternatives to antibiotics for improving fish performance in aquaculture. An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary ginger residue from juice extraction (GRJE) on juvenile black rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii) growth performance, antioxidant enzyme activities, and resistance to Streptococcus iniae infection. Juvenile rockfish (n = 450; initial weight = 2.2 ± 0.01 g) were randomly distributed into 30 L rectangular tanks (30 fish per tank). Five experimental diets with GRJE concentrations of 0% (control), 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1% were prepared in triplicate. Three groups of fish were randomly assigned to each diet and fed to apparent satiation twice daily. After the feeding trial, fish were challenged with S. iniae, and cumulative survival was observed for six days. Growth parameters, feed efficiency, and the protein efficiency ratio showed a quadratic correlation with the GRJE concentration in the fish diet. Proximate composition and plasma chemistry were not significantly affected. Plasma lysozyme, superoxide dismutase, glutathione, and catalase activities linearly increased with increasing GRJE supplementation levels. Moreover, survival in the S. iniae challenge test was significantly higher in fish fed diets supplemented with 0.75–1% GRJE. Our findings demonstrated that 0.75% GRJE dietary supplementation enhanced the growth performance, antioxidant activity, and disease resistance of juvenile black rockfish with no adverse effects.

This study evaluated the effect of dietary addition of essential oil from lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) (EOCC) on growth, intestinal enzymes, biochemical and haematological variables, and survival after Aeromonas hydrophila infection in tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) juveniles. Five diets with different levels of EOCC-0.0 (control), 0.25, 0.50, 1.00 and 1.50 ml kg diet −1 -were evaluated for 60 days, followed by 15 days of bacterial infection. The major chemical compound of EOCC was α-citral (73.55%). There were no differences in fish survival. Supplementation of 0.25 or 0.50 ml EOCC kg diet −1 increased weight gain (p = 0.034). In general, haematological variables were increased in the treatment 0.25 ml EOCC kg diet −1 (p < 0.05). As the EOCC concentration in the diet increased, plasma glucose, albumin, total cholesterol levels and hepatic somatic index were decreased, and plasma total proteins and muscle glycogen levels were increased (p < 0.05). In tambaqui fed 0.50 ml EOCC kg diet −1 , there were increased hepatic glycogen levels (p < 0.016) and intestinal alkaline protease activity (p = 0.049). In conclusion, up to 0.50 ml EOCC kg diet −1 could improve growth performance, haematological variables, muscle glycogen levels and intestinal alkaline protease activity in tambaqui but did not affect fish survival after A. hydrophila infection.
