Abstract
Aquaculture has become one of the fastest-growing industries in the production of animal-based foods due to its recent rapid expansion on a global scale. However, with enhanced intensification, disease outbreaks have become a serious obstacle to sustainable production. Even though there has been the use of synthetic drugs to combat such diseases in the previous, Long-lasting biological harm in consumers is one the issues identified as their side effect. Hence, the use of certain synthetic agents to manage aquatic productions has been limited globally. Nonetheless, in order to improve immune status and disease prevention in fish, naturally occurring medicinal herbs and probiotics which are recognized for their diverse array of biologically active substances are being investigated as safer, less expensive, and environmentally friendly substitutes. This review Therefore focus on the use of medicinal plants for the prevention and treatment of aquatic diseases.
Key words: Aquaculture, Disease, Sustainable, Performance, Antiparasitic, Prevention.
