“…Medicinal plants have been confirmed to promote aquatic animals growth performance, immunity and digestive enzyme activity (Abarike et al, ; Citarasu, ; Reverter, Bontemps, Lecchini, Banaigs, & Sasal, ; Wang et al, ). Several researchers have reported that garlic can improve growth performance of aquatic animals, such as sterlet sturgeon ( Acipenser ruthenus ), caspian roach ( Rutilus rutilus ), brown trout ( Salmo caspius ) and rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) (Büyükdeveci, Balcazar, Demirkale, & Dikel, ; Ghehdarijani, Hajimoradloo, Ghorbani, & Roohi, ; Lee et al, ; Zaefarian, Yeganeh, & Adhami, ), and all of their results showed a similar trend garlic supplementation at 10 g/kg can significantly improve fish growth performance. However, garlic had no effect on growth performance in other aquatic animals (Jahanjoo, Yahyavi, Akrami, & Bahri, ; Kanani, Nobaha, Kakoolaki, & Jafarian, ).…”
