“…These finding were in agreement with those of Mohammadi et al. (2020), who reported significantly increased ALP activity in mucosa of C. carpio fed with Z. officinale extract‐incorporated diet for 60 days. The improvement in the mucosal immune response might be explained by the increase in the activity of alkaline phosphatase (Roosta et al., 2014).…”

“…It has been said that alkaline phosphatase, during wound healing and parasite infection or stress, acts as a pathogen due to its hydrolytic activity, which has a protective function at the beginning (Ahmadniaye Motlagh et al., 2020; Mohammadi, Rashidian, Hoseinifar, Naserabad, & Doan, 2020). The ALP activity in mucosa of fish fed with 4% and 6% ML was significantly higher than the activity level achieved with the 2% dose of ML.…”

“…In this study, the alternative complement system of Caspian kutum was affected significantly by ML supplementation, which suggests that ML is a modulator of the complement system in Caspian kutum. Several studies have indicated that medicinal herbs additives can improve the humoral immune parameters in some fish species (Heydari et al., 2020; Mohammadi et al., 2020). Rufchaei, Mirvaghefi, Hoseinifar, Valipour, and Nedaei (2020) showed dietary water hyacinth extract ( Eichhornia crassipes ) improved serum immune parameters in trout fingerlings.…”

“…These results call for further research to examine the potential role of ML extract as an immune modulator. Similarly, juvenile common carp ( C. carpio ) fed with ginger extract ( Zingiber officinale ) showed increases in RBC, WBC, Hb, and Hct values (Mohammadi et al., 2020). Heydari et al.…”

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.

“…In fish, skin mucus has a physical structure (epithelial lining) and a chemical characters (skin mucus) which build a strong barrier between the fish and the surrounding environment ( Mohammadi et al, 2020a ). In our study, Persian sturgeon fed G. persica diets showed enhanced total protein, Ig, and lysozyme activity in the skin mucus when compared with the control group.…”

Algal seaweeds have abundant amounts of active substances and can be used as pharmaceuticals and biomedicals in aquafeeds. In this context, the powder of red macroalgae Gracilaria persica was included in the diets of Persian sturgeon at the rate of 0, 2.5, 5, and 10 g/kg to investigate its role on the growth rate, fillet colouration, haemato-biochemical indices, serum, and skin mucus immunity. The weight gain, SGR, and FCR displayed no significant changes in fish fed varying levels of G. persica ( P > 0.05). The level of total carotenoids was significantly higher in the blood and fillet of fish fed 5 and 10 g G. persica /kg diet ( P < 0.05). Dietary G. persica significantly altered RBCs, WBCs, a nd HCT at 5, and 10 g/kg, whereas the Hb was increased in fish fed 5 g/kg ( P < 0.05). The blood total protein and albumin were significantly increased in fish fed 5 and 10 g/kg ( P < 0.05). No significant alterations were observed on ALT, AST, ALP, and glucose levels of fish fed varying levels of G. persica ( P > 0.05). Serum Ig, lysozyme, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and respiratory burst activities were increased in fish fed 5, and 10 g/kg than fish fed 0 and 2.5 g/kg diet ( P < 0.05). The level of total protein and lysozyme activity in the skin mucus were significantly higher in the blood and fillet of fish fed 5, and 10 g G. persica /kg diet than fish fed 0 and 2.5 g/kg ( P < 0.05). Based on the obtained results, G. persica can be used as a feasible feed additive in the diets of Persian sturgeon at 5–10 g/kg diet.

Aquaculture developmental plans represent a nation's determination for self‐reliance on domestic fish production through resilient aquaculture. This study reviewed the 2012 Ghana National Aquaculture Development Plan (GNADP) and sought inputs from industry stakeholders to inform GNADP 2023 using the ecosystem approach to aquaculture (EAA). In furtherance of this, we also investigated the justifications for antibiotic treatments including the assessment of the sector that is supposed to regulate aquaculture growth. The findings suggest that GNADP 2023 must be strategized to address industry sustainability bottlenecks identified as input availability and quality, permitting, regulation and enforcement, financing schemes and technical expertise. In terms of technical expertise, the inclusion of women in aquaculture can diversify the skill sets for the improvement of capacity and competence in good aquaculture practices and fish health management. Sector partnerships can aid in leveraging the expertise and resources among sectors to address persistent industry issues. The justifications for antibiotic treatments are disease management, prophylactics, antibiotic availability, application, and effectiveness, capacity and competence, including regulation and enforcement. This also comprised the sense of ownership and responsibility as farmers feel they must safeguard their investment. It is therefore important for farmers to pursue preventative aquaculture biosecurity measures. The government sector was selected predominantly to regulate aquaculture growth. We however recommended a participatory approach as this could facilitate peer regulation to enhance the regulation and enforcement of aquaculture regulations. The findings in this study are worth considering as it pioneers the adoption of the EAA framework for aquaculture developmental planning in Ghana.
