Description Aquaculture is one of the most developing sectors worldwide, and it contributes to enhancing the global production. In favour of growing aquaculture in a supportable fashion, the additives used must be in correct amount. Feed additives are eatable substances that are included in trace amounts in fish feeds to improve growth performance and decrease mortality rate in fish. Additives are considered to be useful for their specific medicinal properties and eco-friendly metabolism in the digestive system. Probiotics, immune-stimulants, enzymes, hormones, organic acids, essential oil and food colourants etc., are best functional feed additives to manage and regulate fish performance and improve aquaculture profit. There is urgent need to research more on novel feed additives which reduce feed costs, maximum digestibility and prevention of residual effects of antibiotics on fish muscle. This review describes the role of various feed additives and their relevance to aquaculture production quality.
