Abstract
Disease occurrence in aquaculture is a major limiting factor in aquaculture. Several drugs, synthetic chemicals and vaccines have been introduced to prevent and control disease occurrence but all have been found to have partial success. Despite the use of antibiotics, the frequency of disease/infection is still high and disturbing. The use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutants in aquatic farms and non-compliance to scientific management practices have resulted in adverse impact on aquacultural production, serious diseases outbreaks, development of drug resistance in microbes, and accumulation of antibiotics residues in finfish and shellfish. Phytotherapy has come to be recognized as a handy and viable alternative to chemotherapy, as it is economical, effective, non-resistance forming, renewable, eco-friendly and farmer-friendly. This paper theoretically assess the several use of medicinal plants as immunostimulants in aquaculture and their importance in combating fin and shellfish diseases, enhancing their productivity, fertility, and stimulating aquatic immune system.
