“…Furthermore, dose dependent retardation of growth in T. zilii was shown by Omoregie and Okpanachi [41] following exposure to variety doses of A. indica (0.78 and 1.56 mg L −1 ) bark crude extract. In contrast, saponin extracted from A. indica did not show any negative effect on O. niloticus growth performance and feed utilization even at higher doses of 4.0 and 8.0 g kg −1 [5] .…”

“…Consequently, ponds become overpopulated with O. niloticus of varying sizes which makes management aspects such as feeding and water quality difficult to perform because of size-dependent requirements. Accordingly, water quality deteriorates, competition for food and space increases and O. niloticus diverts energy towards reproduction causing slow growth [5] , [6] . Synthetic hormones have been used as the popular and favoured techniques in order to overcome its early maturity and prolific breeding [5] .…”

Growing mixed-sex Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus in earthen ponds to table size is a major challenge due to its early maturity and prolific breeding. This study determined the effects of two medicinal plants; Aspilia plant, Aspilia mossambicensis and Neem tree, Azadirachta indica on hatchlings production, growth performance, feed utilization, survival and haematology of O. niloticus. Experimental diets were prepared by adding 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 g of either A. mossambicensis or A. indica leaf powders into a kg of the control diet subsequently administered daily to twenty triplicates of O. niloticus for three months. Both A. mossambicensis and A. indica leaf powder at the used doses, reduced significantly hatchlings production of O. niloticus when compared to the control (P < .05). The lowest value of hatchlings count was found in A. indica dose 8.0 g kg−1 (P < .05). The use of A. mossambicensis leaf powder at a dose of 4.0 g kg−1 improved significantly growth performance and feed utilization (P < .05). In contrast, survival rate was not affected significantly by the two plants (P > .05). Both plants differentially increased significantly haematological parameters such as Hb concentration, packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), white blood cells (WBC), monocyte and lymphocytes while reduced significantly neutrophils and eosinophils (P < .05). In conclusion, A. mossambicensis and A. indica leaf powders control prolific breeding of O. niloticus, modulate its growth performance and feed utilization. The two plants also modulate haematological parameters of O. niloticus indicating immunological response towards stress or intoxication, however, the values obtained were not beyond the recommended range for healthy fish.

“…The extract from P. guajava leaves contains alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and flavanoids (Tarigan et al, 2016; Uboh, Okon, & Ekong, 2010). These extracts, especially saponins and flavanoids, have antifertility effects in rats (Nayaka, Londonkar, & Umesh, 2014) and fish (Obaroh, Nzeh, & Oguntoye, 2012). For example, anti‐implantation and sterility was observed in rats treated with P. guajava extracts (Sri Retno, Endang, Elfi, & Setiyani, 2008).…”

“…The leaf extracts of M. indica have a high concentration of alkaloids, saponins, steroids, tannins, and alkaloids (Aiyelaagbe & Osamudiamen, 2009; Biu, Yusuf, & Rabo, 2009). Saponins occur in higher concentration compared to the other bioactive compounds, hence believed to be responsible for the antifertility effects of M. indica extracts (Obaroh et al, 2012). Inclusion of M. indica leaf powder in Nile tilapia diets at dosages of 0.5–8.0 g kg −1 for 56 days reduced the number of spawned hatchlings, with complete inhibition of spawning observed at ≥2.0 g kg −1 of diet (Obaroh & Achionye‐Nzeh, 2013).…”

Control of prolific reproduction is vital for a profitable tilapia aquaculture enterprise. All-male tilapia culture is a popular method used to control prolific breeding, because the male individuals grow faster than female and mixed-sex populations. Presently, most farmers use 17α-methyl testosterone (MT) to produce all-male tilapia individuals, although synthetic hormones are linked to human health and environmental risks. Recently, considerable attention has focused on plant-based products as alternatives to MT, because they are affordable, safe, and eco-friendly. Despite the growing interest in using plant extracts to prevent frequent spawning in tilapia production, the available information is not collated to standardize application guidelines. Accordingly, this review article consolidates existing knowledge on the use of plant extracts to control prolific breeding in tilapia culture systems. In addition, limitations to commercial application of the extracts are identified. To date, seed, root, and leaf extracts of 20 plant species, most notably, Tribulus terrestris, Mucuna pruriens, and Carica papaya, exhibit potential for controlling unwanted breeding in tilapia production systems. The extracts are mainly administered orally, incorporated in fish feeds. Saponins and flavanoids are the main bioactive compounds in the phytoextracts,
