Validated plant extract offers measurable tissue recovery in disease-challenged aquaculture
Bacterial diseases from *Edwardsiella ictaluri*, *Aeromonas veronii* and *Vibrio parahaemolyticus* are constraining Basa fish farming in the Mekong Delta, while heavy antibiotic use raises resistance concerns. A new study validates *Annona glabra* methanolic leaf extract as a promising alternative. It inhibited all three pathogens, showed measurable antioxidant capacity, and in challenged fish, dietary supplementation reduced mortality, preserved growth, and improved tissue recovery, often outperforming doxycycline. This is a credible step toward integrated, plant-based solutions for aquaculture health.
Ginseng: A Natural Path to Enhanced Fish Immunity in Aquaculture
Ginseng's ginsenosides offer a measured, natural alternative to antibiotics in aquaculture, targeting immune suppression at the source. This review traces how the plant modulates NF-κB and MAPK pathways in tilapia, trout, and carp, balancing cytokine output and sharpening immune cell response. The evidence is compelling, though dosage and standardization gaps remain. For a related look at pathogen control, see our piece on plant-based tablets for Vibrio.
Grape Waste Boosts Seabass Health, Offering Sustainable Disease Control
White grape marc, a wine-making by-product, is proving more than a sustainable leftover. New research from the NeoGiANT project shows that supplementing European seabass diets with these polyphenol-rich extracts can boost antioxidant status and protein efficiency without compromising growth. The findings are measured, not revolutionary, yet they point toward a practical path for reducing antibiotic reliance in aquaculture. For those tracking innovations in disease management, our related piece on plant-based tablets for Vibrio control offers another angle worth exploring.
