Abstract Aquaculture offers a promising source of economic and healthy protein for human consumption and improved wellbeing. This has led to the development of the aquaculture industry, led through advanced production technologies and culture systems in many parts of the world. The intensification of fish production systems by farmers to meet consumer’s needs, as well as to generate increased profits, creates a source of stress and the added occurrence of disease and subsequent loss. The negative environmental effects of chemical use have caused legislation to imposed regulations and restrictions to decrease their therapeutic or prophylactic use in aquaculture. As a result, dietary approaches have been suggested as an alternative. Medicinal herbs have been investigated for use in finfish diets to improve immune response and disease resistance. This review paper discusses the suggested modes of action of the effects of medicinal herbs on fish physiology and the immune systems. In addition, a comprehensive literature review on the effects on bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases is also presented. An added objective was to address the gap between existing knowledge and future perspectives for the improvement of fish health and disease resistance through the use of natural products.

在有鳍鱼养殖中通过环境友好和可持续的方法促进免疫功能和疾病生物控制：草药治疗方案

摘要 水产养殖为人类消费和改善福祉提供了一种有前景的经济和健康蛋白质来源。这导致了水产养殖业的发展，在世界许多地方采用了先进的生产技术和养殖系统。养殖者为了满足消费者的需求以及增加利润而强化鱼类生产系统，这造成了压力来源，并增加了疾病的发生和随后的损失。化学品使用对环境的负面影响已导致立法强制实施法规和限制，以减少其在水产养殖中的治疗或预防用途。因此，有人建议将饮食方法作为替代方法。已经研究了在有鳍鱼的饮食中使用草药以提高免疫反应和抗病能力。这篇综述论文讨论了药草对鱼类生理和免疫系统的影响的建议作用方式。此外，还介绍了对细菌、病毒和寄生虫病影响的综合文献综述。另一个目标是解决现有知识与通过使用天然产品改善鱼类健康和抗病能力的未来前景之间的差距。
