Lavender, widely recognized for its medicinal properties, has gained attention for its potential to enhance fish health in aquaculture. This paper resumes current knowledge on the effects of lavender extracts, highlighting their antioxidant properties and immune-enhancing capabilities on fish. Evidence from recent studies indicates that lavender extracts efficiently reduce oxidative stress and improve immune responses in fish. These findings suggest that incorporating lavender extracts into aquaculture practices could reduce reliance on synthetic additives and antibiotics, supporting more sustainable and environmentally friendly approaches. Overall, lavender emerges as a promising natural alternative for promoting fish health and promoting eco- friendly aquaculture practices.
