Moving towards more sustainable aquaculture practices: a meta‐analysis on the potential of plant‐enriched diets to improve fish growth, immunity and disease resistance (2020, background): “Since disease outbreaks are intimately related to the physiological state of the animals, the use of feed supplements that maximize ﬁsh ﬁtness and promote their immune systems such as medicinal plants and probiotics has gained considerable attention over the last decade (reviewed in Reverter et al .”
Boosting Immune Function and Disease Bio-Control Through Environment-Friendly and Sustainable Approaches in Finfish Aquaculture: Herbal Therapy Scenarios (2020, background): “Reverter et al. (2014) reported the synergistic effect of mixed herbal extracts (Reverter et al. 2014).”
Essential oils of Lippia sidoides and Mentha piperita against monogenean parasites and their influence on the hematology of Nile tilapia (2016, background): “Several natural substances can be used in aquaculture, but studies involving the use of extracts or essential oils in therapeutic baths against fish parasites are scarce (Reverter et al., 2014).”
Review on the progress in the role of herbal extracts in tilapia culture (2019, background): “Another reasons are that medicinal herbal extracts are easily available, inexpensive, and tend to be more biodegradable in nature compared to synthetic drugs (Olusola, Emikpe, & Olaifa, 2013; Reverter, Bontemps, Lecchini, Banaigs, & Sasal, 2014).”
