| Popis: | For growth in the aquaculture sector to be sustainable in the long term, there is a critical need to make operations more efficient through effective disease control management and with optimized (and stage specific) feeds and improved feed conversion ratios. An enhanced level of integration spanning from breeding centres, to hatcheries, to nurseries and farm production is a pre-requisite for growth.Synthetic compounds use in aquaculture has created resistant bacteria, immune-suppression and destabilization of helpful bacterial population as well as environmental pollution. To replace their effects, the search for natural alternatives has begun. Through natural compound use it can be hoped to achieve the same results as in the use of synthetic compounds. The present study is a review of the use of some natural substances and of the researches made to reveal their effects on fish. Research have shown the diverse effects of these natural compounds used in fish as immune-modulators, immune-stimulants, bio-productive, antioxidants, antimicrobials, stimulants of the enzymatic equipment, stimulants of nitrogen absorption. A major advantage in the use of natural compounds is the fact that they are natural substances and do not pose any threat to fish, man or environment. |
