REVIEW: Unveiling the potential of herbal biomedicines as a sustainable solution for the aquaculture industry.
Review in Fish physiology and biochemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hormones, antibiotics, vitamins, and synthetic chemicals have been widely used in aquaculture to improve growth and disease control, yet their application poses concerns related to residues, antimicrobial resistance, and environmental impact. As sustainable alternatives, herbal biomedicines derived from medicinal plants offer eco-friendly and residue-free solutions. Rich in bioactive compounds such as phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids, these phytochemicals exhibit antimicrobial, antioxidant, immunostimulatory, growth-promoting, stress-mitigating, and reproductive-enhancing effects. Numerous studies on fish and shrimp demonstrate that herbal additives can enhance feed utilization, digestive enzyme activity, immune response, and disease resistance. This review depicts current evidence on the biological effects, mechanisms of herbal compounds in aquaculture and highlights key research gaps, including dose-response validation, standardization, and long-term field evaluation, essential for advancing their safe and effective integration into sustainable aquaculture practices.
