Lead (Pb) is a common heavy metal, which negatively influences the health and performance of aquatic organisms. The aquatic pollution with Pb is increasing day after day due to the increase in human activities, agricultural, and mining activities among others. Lead was regarded as oxidative stressor causing mutagenic and physiological disorders in aquatic animals. Hence, the current perspective assessed the promoting effects o...

In the aquaculture industry, silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have great significance, mainly for confronting diseases. Therefore, the present study aims to assess the antibacterial efficiency of SiNPs as a versatile trial against Aeromonas veronii infection in African catfish ( Clarias gariepinus ). Further, we investigated the influence of SiNPs in palliating the immune-antioxidant stress biochemical, ethological, and histopatho...

Nano-encapsulation protects essential oils and increases their efficiency, compared to bulk forms. Hence in the present study, four diets (328 g/kg crude protein and 4402 kcal/kg gross energy) containing 0 (CTL), 25 mg/kg (25TV), 50 mg/kg (50TV), and 100 mg/kg (100TV) thyme, Thymus vulgaris , essential oil nano-liposomes (TV-NP) were offered to Nile tilapia fingerlings (initial weight of 4.27 ± 0.05 g) at water temperature of...

The current study addresses the influence of Moringa oleifera leaves nanoparticles (MO-NPs) on growth, biochemical, immunological, and hepatic antioxidant alterations induced by zinc oxide nanoparticles toxicity in Nile tilapia (O. niloticus). Fish (N = 180) were divided into four groups with replicates. The first one was set as a control group and the second group was fed an MO-NPs-enriched diet (2.5 g/kg diet). The third gro...

Medicinal plants are increasingly used in aquaculture owing to their beneficial impacts on the health status of farmed fish. The current study was conducted to investigate the effect of nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) extract on growth, immunity, antioxidant parameters, and resistance of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) against Aeromonas hydrophila. In addition, in vitro antibacterial activity of the skin mucus of fish fed on nutmeg...
