“…The Yucca extract capacity to reduce the NH 4 has been documented in freshwater and seawater fish (Tidwell et al 1992, Santacruz-Reyes andChien 2010). Our results demonstrated that Y. schidigera extract efficacy could vary with initial NH 4 and extract concentrations, elapsed time, as well as their interactions.…”

RESUMENEl objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el efecto del extracto líquido de Y. schidigera sobre la calidad del agua y prevención de la mortalidad del pargo rojo del Pacífico L. Peru, durante la transferencia del medio silvestre a condiciones del laboratorio. Se utilizaron tres tratamientos: extracto líquido concentrado 100% de Y. schidigera natural fue administrado en baja concentración (0,25 mg L -1 ) y alta concentración (0,75 mg L -1 ), además de un grupo control sin extracto. El extracto líquido fue administrado cada 72 h durante 28 días. Se encontró que el extracto Y. schidigera reduce la concentración de amonio producto de la excreción de los juveniles y la mortalidad del huachinango durante la aclimatación en un sistema de recirculación. Se recomienda el uso del extracto de yuca en una concentración de 0,75 mg L -1 para reducir el amonio y para una densidad máxima de 10,9 kg m -3 y con aireación.Palabras clave: Yucca schidigera, reducción de amonio, pargo, supervivencia. SUMMARYThe goal of this study was to determine the effect of the liquid extract of Yucca schidigera on water quality and survival of Pacific red snapper Lutjanus peru during its transfer from wild to laboratory conditions. Three experimental groups (0.00; 0.25 and 0.75 mg of Y. schidigera liquid extract per liter of culture) were tested with four replicates using water recirculating systems. The liquid extract was dispensed every 72 h during 28 days. It was proved that Y. schidigera extract could be effective to reduce ammonia nitrogen caused by biogenic source (excretion of fish juveniles) diminishing mortality of Pacific red snapper during acclimatization process. It is recommended the use of yucca extract concentration at a dose of 0.75 mg L -1 to reduce ammonia concentration in marine water for holding red snapper juveniles.

“…It has been proved that this substance can reduce ammonia buildup produced by biogenic sources, hydrogen sulfide and other compounds affecting fish health in both fresh and seawater recirculating aquaculture systems (Kelly andKohler 2003, Santacruz-Reyes andChien 2010).…”

“…It has also been reported that addition of Yucca schidigera extracts to the rearing water can reduced TAN; Sarkar (,b) added Yucca schidigera extracts at 6 mg L −1 , every 15 days, to fish and freshwater prawn ponds and the resulting TAN excretion levels were 58–60% lower than the control at the end of trial. The ability of these extracts to reduce ammonia levels has been demonstrated in both freshwater and seawater (Santacruz‐Reyes & Chien , ). The mechanisms in which Yucca schidigera extracts reduce ammonia levels have not yet been fully described, but it has been suggested that ammonia may bind to some components in Yucca schidigera extracts or that the conversion or that the conversion of ammonia to nitrite and nitrate could be mediated by Yucca schidigera extracts (Headon and Dawson ; Cheeke ; Santacruz‐Reyes & Chien ).…”

A feeding trial was performed to determine the effect of a commercial source of Yucca schidigera and Quillaja saponaria extracts (Nutrafito Plus®), in practical diets, on striped catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus growth, feed utilization, body composition, total ammonia‐nitrogen (TAN) excretion and haematological parameters. Four experimental diets were supplemented with Nutrafito Plus® at 0%, 0.01%, 0.02% and 0.03% (diets: control, N01, N02 and N03 respectively). Three replicate groups of striped catfish, with initial mean weight of 1.78 ± 0.05 g, were fed one of the four diets for 12 weeks. The specific growth rate (SGR) and final weight of fish fed diet N03 was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than fish fed the other dietary treatments. The growth performance of fish fed diets N01 and N02 were not significantly different compared to fish fed the control diet. Striped catfish fed diet N03 had improved feed conversion ratio (FCR), net protein utilization (NPU) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) than the control (P < 0.05). The inclusion of the high dietary level of Yucca schidigera and Quillaja saponaria, diet N03, reduced TAN compared to all groups. Dietary inclusion of Yucca schidigera and Quillaja saponaria at all levels investigated did not affect the whole body proximate composition of the striped catfish (P > 0.05). The packed cell volume (PCV) and haemoglobin level in fish fed diet N03 was significantly higher than in the fish fed the control diet. The present study demonstrates that dietary inclusion of Yucca schidigera and Quillaja saponaria induced positive effects on growth performance and haematological parameters and decreased TAN excretion in striped catfish.

“…While many studies have shown beneficial impact of saponins-rich plants on growth performances, little research has evidenced their consequences on the reduction of TAN, either through their direct addition to rearing water, or through their inclusion in the fish feed. Santacruz-Reyes and Chien demonstrated a decrease in the TAN level with the addition of Y. shidigera extract in the aquaria of Nile tilapia (O. niloticus [21]) and juvenile Kuruma shrimp (Marsupenaeus japonicas [1]). Vargasmachuca et al demonstrated similar effects with Y. schidigera extract added to the water of Pacific Red Snapper (Lutjanus peru) during acclimatization [22].…”

“…One of the main drawbacks of aquaculture is its environmental impact, particularly linked to ammonia excretion by aquatic species. Ammonia is a waste product excreted by aquatic animals as the result of the protein metabolism [1]. Ammonia can also be formed as a result of the mineralization of organic nitrogen from faeces, uneaten feed and other organic matter.…”

The intensification in aquaculture production leads to increasing attention on the management of ammonia from its waste. Natural solutions such as Yucca schidigera extracts have shown beneficial effects. Their origin (harvested from the wild), however, call for alternative and equally efficient solutions in order to increase the sustainability of their production. In this work, juvenile Nile tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus) were supplemented with different doses of a commercial mixture of saponin-rich plants (Norponin® OPTI, CTL: 0ppm, D1: 100ppm, D2: 500ppm and D3: 2500ppm). The impact on water quality was monitored, with a particular attention to total ammonia excretion (TAN). TAN was significantly reduced in treatments D1 and D2 compared to the control and D3 treatments (p<0.05). Overall, the present study demonstrates that a supplementation with low doses of the feed additive (100 or 500ppm) induced beneficial effects on TAN management.
