Abstract: Plant extracts are regarded as promising alternatives to antibiotics due to their distinct properties, such as safety, environment-friendly and efficiency. Plant extracts contain a variety of active components, which have various physiological activities, and their effects on aquatic animals are inconsistent. In this paper, we summarized the latest research progress of plant extracts in aquatic feed from five aspects, which were appetite stimulating, growth promoting, immune enhancement, anti-oxidative stress and pathogenic resistance. The study can provide a basis for the development of environmental-friendly feed additives.
