The major feed additives accomplish a variety of tasks, including acting as binders, feeding stimulants, preservatives and food agents. The usage of additives must be in the proper quantity to grow aquaculture sustainably. Species and their availability determine the need for additions. According to some scientists, the feed ingredient enhances the fish's immune system while also having antibacterial, antoxidative, and growth-promoting properties. Functional feed additives include substances like prebiotics, probiotics, yeasts, seaweed, mushrooms, microalgae, enzymes, organic acids, mycotoxin binders, photogenic or phytobiotic compounds and other ingredients.
