Abstract
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food-producing sector in the world, including India. According to the forecast, there will be a major demand-supply imbalance for a lower-cost protein source to keep up with the rapidly expanding population in the coming years. Indian major carps (IMCs) are the focus of Indian aquaculture. In order to close the gap between demand and supply, cultural activities must be stepped up. Every step toward intensification brings with it a slew of issues related to illness and nutritional control. Despite the use of antibiotics for illness prevention, there is a need to develop a viable alternative to such unpleasant substances. Anti-inflammatory and nutritional properties have been demonstrated by the herbs. The ethno-medicinal importance of miracle plant Terminalia arjuna being used as a fish feed additive to improve fish immunity, development, and survival. It has been shown to have numerous health advantages for humans. An overview of T. arjuna's impact on fish's nutritional health is presented in this article.
