The Effect of Stocking Density and Carbon Sources on the Oxidative Status, and Nonspecific Immunity of () Reared under Biofloc Conditions.

The present study investigated the effect of stocking density and dietary carbon sources on the water quality, oxidative status, and immune-related genes of Nile tilapia () reared under biofloc conditions (BFT). Eight groups were established at two levels of stocking densities (140 fish per m: low stocking density, LSD) and (280 fish per m: high stocking density, HSD) (5.15 ± 1.

Miswak (Salvadora persica) dietary supplementation improves antioxidant status and nonspecific immunity in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the most common aquaculture fish, but is exposed to various pollutants and may be susceptible to infectious diseases due to reduction in their antioxidant status and immune defense. Therefore, researchers have tried to find feed supplements of natural origin to increase the health status of fish and decrease the incidence of drug resistance. The current study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of Miswak (Salvadora persica, SP) on Nile tilapia.
