Description
Mustafa Öz and co-authors review the use of oils from medicinal and aromatic plants in fish feeds, published in 2026. Fish farming is moving away from fishmeal and fish oil toward plant and insect feeds. That shift can strain fish health, so growers seek natural additives that help fish grow and resist stress.
The review links the chemistry of these oils to effects on appetite, gut microbes, and defense against cell damage. It also covers delivery methods and body pathways. Gains are reported, but results vary a lot by species and life stage. The authors blame oil chemistry that varies by batch, uneven extraction methods, and dose effects that can turn neutral or harmful at high levels.
