ABSTRACT

Aquaculture is a fast-growing animal food-producing industry in India. With the growing human population, dependence on aquaculture to provide a proteinaceous and economical supply of food has increased. The use of antibiotics is becoming increasingly widespread in the aquaculture industry to provide a protein-rich food supply, which is having negative impacts on human populations. As the benefits of medicinal herbs become clear, the use of antibiotics can be reduced gradually. Various medicinal herbs are known to have excellent some properties, such as antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal activity, enhancing fish growth, etc. The purpose of this paper is to provide the latest scientific information on the application of medicinal herbs in aquaculture sectors as well as to review the potential problems and recommendations for the application of medicinal herbs in aquaculture.
