“…Dietary supplements, including plant‐based supplements, are currently used to keep health and to treat many diseases in humans and animals (Fattepur et al, 2018; Gondo, 2021; Othman et al, 2019; Roslan & Shariff, 2021; Shalaby, 2015, 2018; Shalaby, Sakoury, Harthi, et al, 2020; Shalaby, Sakoury, Kholif, et al, 2020; You et al, 2021; Zharif et al, 2018). During the last decade, many studies have reported the medicinal, antioxidant, immunogenic and antibacterial properties of medicinal plants and their derivatives in fish (Ahmadifar et al, 2019; Farsani et al, 2019; Rashidian, Bahrami Gorji, et al, 2020; Van Doan et al, 2020; Bibi et al, 2021; DeiviArunachalam et al, 2021; Ghafarifarsani Kachuei et al, 2021; Ghafarifarsani, Hoseinifar, Adorian, et al, 2021; Ghafarifarsani, Hoseinifar, Talebi, et al, 2021; Ghafarifarsani, Rashidian, et al, 2021; Qahir et al, 2021; Rashidian et al, 2021; Yousefi, Farsani, et al, 2021; Yousefi, Ghafarifarsani et al, 2021; Raissy et al, 2022; Yousefi et al, 2022). However, the identification and introduction of the new species with immunogenic and antibacterial properties can be useful for aquaculture enhancement.…”

In the present study, the effect of Dracocephalum kotschyi essential oil (DKE) was investigated on growth, haematology, immune and antioxidant defence system and resistance of rainbow trout juveniles to bacterial infection (Aeromonas hydrophila). For this purpose, the fish were fed a diet containing different concentrations of DKE including 0 (control), 0.2, 0.25 and 0.3 mg/kg diet in three replicates for 60 days. After feeding trial, the fish were challenged with a pathogenic dose of A. hydrophila. Based on the results, immune components in plasma (alternative complement activity [ACH 50 ], IgM content, lysozyme activity, total protein and total albumin) and mucus (protease activity, IgM content and lysozyme activity) significantly elevated in fish fed diet containing 0.2 and 0.25 mg DKE/kg diet compared with other groups (p < 0.01). The plasma bactericidal activity increased in all DKE-supplemented fish. Supplementation of fish with 0.3 mg DKE/kg diet depressed the mucosal lysozyme activity and IgM content.

“…Today, aquaculture is one of the fastest growing economic activities in the world. In this regard, the use of new techniques has made it possible to raise fish at high densities (Burnell & Allan, 2009; Ghafarifarsani, Hoseinifar, et al, 2021, Ghafarifarsani, Kachuei, & Imani, 2021, Ghafarifarsani et al, 2022; Ajdari et al, 2022; Raissy et al, 2022; Yousefi et al, 2022). However, fish diets are usually expensive, which limits the development of aquaculture.…”

The present study was conducted to investigate the probiotic role of the unicellular fungi, Aspergillus niger on growth performance, immunity, haematology and digestive enzymes in common carp, Cyprinus carpio. One non‐supplemented group (T0) was considered as control and two groups fed the fungi including T1 (fish supplemented with diet containing 1 × 103 A. niger) and T2 (fish supplemented with diet containing 1 × 106 A. niger) considered as the experimental treatments in three replicates. Fish were fed experimental diets for 60 days. The survival rate and growth parameters (final length and weight, weight gain (%), thermal growth coefficient (TGC), protein efficiency ratio and lipid efficiency ratio) significantly increased in A. niger supplemented fish compared with control (p < 0.05). The values of FCR (feed conversion ratio) and CF (condition of factor) significantly decreased after feeding experiment in fish of T2 and T1 compared with control (p < 0.05). The plasma levels of lysozyme and total immunoglobulin significantly elevated in A. niger supplemented groups compared with control (p < 0.05). The RBC (red blood cell) counts, Hb (haemoglobin) concentrations, MCH (mean corpuscular haemoglobin) and MCV (mean corpuscular volume) values significantly increased in A. niger supplemented fish compared with control (p < 0.05). The WBC (white blood cell) and Hct (haematocrit) value were higher in fish of T2 compared with control (p < 0.05). The number of neutrophils significantly increased in the treatment, T2 compared with control (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the lymphocyte counts significantly increased in A. niger supplemented fish compared with control (p < 0.05). The body composition of fish showed increases in the fish dry matter and protein content and decreases in lipid content of T1 and T2 groups compared with control (p < 0.05). The digestive enzymes (protease, trypsin, amylase, lipase and alkaline phosphatase), apparent protein ad lipid digestibility significantly increased in response to dietary level of 1 × 106 A. niger compared with control (p < 0.05). The supplementation of fish with A. niger also prompted the load of the fungi in intestine (p < 0.05). The results of the present study confirmed the probiotic role of A. niger in common carp, since it improved growth, immunity, digestion and the fish haematology.

“…The studies in peer-reviewed journals revealed that HG fish fed with various additives had a higher number of RBC. For example, ellagic acid in rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) [ 57 ], brewer’s yeast in Nile tilapia [ 31 ], a combination of herbs in common carp ( Cyprinus carpio ) [ 58 ], butyric acid glycerides in yellowfin seabream ( Acanthopagrus latus ) [ 59 ], roselle anthocyanin extract in rainbow trout [ 60 ] and chitosan nanoparticles in Nile tilapia [ 43 ] increased the number of RBCs. Increased growth in these treatments demonstrates that fish benefit from optimised oxygen delivery, and there may be a direct relationship between growth and RBC numbers.…”

“…A wide range of studies including supplementing diets with probiotics [ 28 , 48 ], herbal medicine [ 24 , 25 , 58 ], minerals [ 51 , 83 , 84 ], fatty acids [ 26 , 59 , 85 ], yeast [ 31 , 32 ], hormones [ 49 ], algae [ 50 , 86 , 87 ], polysaccharides [ 27 , 88 ] and lecithin [ 89 ] were covered to make a more solid conclusion about the relationship between growth and BP. In some of these results, at least four out of five parameters were increased and causing BP to be remarkably higher in the HG group.…”

Blood Performance: A New Formula for Fish Growth and Health

Monitoring fish health in a repeatable and accurate manner can contribute to the profitability and sustainability of aquaculture. Haematological and blood biochemistry parameters have been powerful tools and becoming increasingly common in aquaculture studies. Fish growth is closely related to its health status. A fish with a higher growth rate is more likely to be a healthy one. Any change in the physiological status of the fish, from pollution to nutritional stress, can cause changes in the blood parameters. Various aquaculture studies have measured the following components: red blood cells, white blood cells, haemoglobin, haematocrit, and total protein. However, because these parameters do not always follow the same trend across experimental fish, it is difficult to draw a firm conclusion about which parameter should be considered. Therefore, Blood Performance (BP) as a new formula is introduced, which is a more reliable indicator. This formula is simple and sums up the natural logarithm of the five above-mentioned parameters. More than 90 published peer-reviewed articles that measured these five parameters in the last six years confirmed the reliability and validity of this formula. Regardless of which supplements were added to the diets, the fish with a higher growth rate had higher BP as well. In addition, in 44 studies out of 53 articles, there was a significant positive correlation between specific growth rate and BP. Under different stressful situations, from pollution to thermal stress, the fish under stress had a lower BP than the control. Fish meal and fish oil replacement studies were further evidence for this formula and showed that adding excessive alternative proteins decreased growth along with BP. In conclusion, BP can be a reliable indicator of fish health and growth when it is compared between groups in the same experiment or farm. Although there was a positive correlation between specific growth rate and BP, comparing BP between experiments is not recommended. Standardising the haematological assays can improve the reliability and accuracy of BP across experiments.
