Abstract
Aquaculture a driving force in enhancing global prosperity and providing cheap source of protein. This has put pressure in the field resulting in use and abuse of antibiotics to counteract diseases caused due to intensification. Growing awareness of the adverse impacts of antibiotics has spurred a widespread shift towards natural products. The potentiality of various extracts from plants and animals as immunomodulators, appetite stimulants, anti-stress agents, antioxidants, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral agents is emphasised and proven with better results. These biomedicines also play a role in stimulating development while mitigating the risk of infections that pose threats to both the ecosystem and the health of fish. Herbal compounds, including phenolics, polyphenols, alkaloids, quinones, terpenoids, lectins, and polypeptides, emerge as highly effective alternatives to antibiotics and synthetic compounds. This chapter reviews into the potential of herbal biomedicines in aquaculture, offering sustainable alternatives for fostering growth and ensuring the health of aquatic ecosystems
