ClearThe protective efficacy of dual dietary rosemary plus cinnamon mix against lead nitrate-induced immune suppression, genotoxicity, and oxidant/antioxidant status in Nile tilapia fingerlings
Researchers tested whether a dietary mix of rosemary and cinnamon could protect Nile tilapia from the harmful effects of lead exposure. Fish exposed to lead showed reduced growth, suppressed immunity, increased oxidative stress, and DNA damage, but those fed the herbal supplement showed significant improvements across all measures. The study suggests that rosemary and cinnamon supplementation may help mitigate heavy metal toxicity in farmed fish.

Evaluating Silymarin Extract as a Potent Antioxidant Supplement in Diazinon-Exposed Rainbow Trout: Oxidative Stress and Biochemical Parameter Analysis
This study tested whether silymarin, a natural antioxidant from milk thistle, could protect rainbow trout from liver damage caused by the pesticide diazinon. Silymarin successfully reduced oxidative stress and restored many blood markers to normal levels in the exposed fish. While not directly about microplastics, the research is relevant because microplastics in water can carry pesticides like diazinon, and understanding protective compounds could help address the combined toxic effects of these pollutants on aquatic food sources.

This study found that triploid crucian carp exhibit enhanced immune responses compared to diploid fish, which may contribute to their greater resistance to cadmium-induced stress.
Dimethyl Bisphenolate Ameliorates Carbon Tetrachloride-Induced Liver Injury by Regulating Oxidative Stress-Related Genes
Researchers synthesized a novel compound called dimethyl bisphenolate and tested its ability to protect against chemically induced liver injury in rats and cell models. They found that the compound significantly reduced liver damage markers and oxidative stress in a dose-dependent manner, with effects comparable to the established liver protectant silymarin. The study suggests that dimethyl bisphenolate may help protect liver cells by regulating oxidative stress pathways and reducing cell death.
Unveiling the Effects of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) Seed Essential Oil as a Diet Supplement on the Biochemical Parameters and Reproductive Function in Female Common Carps (Cyprinus carpio)
Researchers investigated the effects of fennel seed essential oil on the health and reproductive function of common carp over 60 days. At lower doses, the oil improved growth rates and immune parameters, while the highest dose elevated stress-related enzyme levels. The study suggests that fennel oil at moderate doses could serve as a beneficial dietary supplement for farmed fish.
Effect of dietary Bacillus subtilis supplement on Cd toxicokinetics and Cd-induced immune and antioxidant impairment of Procambarus clarkii
Researchers exposed red swamp crayfish to cadmium at 0.1 and 1.0 mg/L with and without dietary Bacillus subtilis supplementation, finding dose- and time-dependent cadmium accumulation with gills showing highest uptake, and demonstrating that Bacillus subtilis supplementation ameliorated cadmium-induced immune and antioxidant impairment across crayfish tissues.

Common carp supplemented with rosemary leaf powder and/or Bacillus subtilis for 56 days showed improved growth, antioxidant enzyme activity, innate immunity, and resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila infection, demonstrating potential as natural feed additives in aquaculture.
Selenium-containing polysaccharide from Spirulina platensis alleviates Cd-induced toxicity in mice by inhibiting liver inflammation mediated by gut microbiota
Researchers found that selenium-containing polysaccharide from Spirulina platensis alleviates cadmium-induced liver toxicity in mice by modulating gut microbiota composition and suppressing inflammatory pathways, suggesting a protective role against heavy metal exposure.
Prefeeding of Clarias gariepinus with Spirulina platensis counteracts petroleum hydrocarbons-induced hepato- and nephrotoxicity
Researchers tested whether feeding catfish (Clarias gariepinus) the microalgae Spirulina platensis before exposing them to petroleum pollutants benzene and toluene could protect their liver and kidneys, finding that Spirulina significantly restored normal organ function and reduced tissue damage. While kidney tissue still showed some injury, the study suggests Spirulina's antioxidant properties can meaningfully shield fish from hydrocarbon pollution.
Toxic Effects of Cadmium on Fish
This review examines how cadmium, a toxic heavy metal released from industrial activities, accumulates in fish tissues and causes widespread organ damage. Researchers found that cadmium affects fish liver, kidneys, gills, and reproductive systems through oxidative stress and disruption of normal cellular processes. The study also discusses the potential risks of cadmium exposure to humans who consume contaminated fish.

The findings suggest these natural compounds can serve as effective antioxidant feed additives in aquaculture.
Mechanisms of Gills Response to Cadmium Exposure in Greenfin Horse-Faced Filefish (Thamnaconus septentrionalis): Oxidative Stress, Immune Response, and Energy Metabolism
This study examined how cadmium, a toxic heavy metal from industrial pollution, damages the gills of a marine fish species by triggering oxidative stress, immune responses, and energy imbalances. While not directly about microplastics, the findings are relevant because microplastics can absorb and transport heavy metals like cadmium into aquatic food chains. Understanding how fish respond to cadmium exposure helps assess the combined risks when heavy metals hitchhike on microplastic particles.

Seasonal assessment of selected trace elements in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) blood and their effects on the biochemistry and oxidative stress markers
Researchers monitored trace metal concentrations in the blood of grass carp across seasons and found significant seasonal differences, along with statistical links between metals like zinc, iron, and copper and markers of liver function, oxidative stress, and metabolism. The findings show that environmental metal pollution has measurable physiological effects on freshwater fish, which are continuously exposed through their aquatic habitat.
Dietary Pectin Supplementation as a Potential Strategy to Mitigate the Toxic Effects of Microplastics and Cadmium in Freshwater Crayfish ( Astacus leptodactylus )
Researchers investigated whether dietary pectin supplementation could mitigate the toxic effects of microplastics and cadmium exposure in freshwater crayfish. Pectin partially restored some antioxidant enzyme activities and normalized certain biochemical markers disrupted by the pollutant exposure. However, because the crayfish were directly exposed to the contaminants in water, oral pectin supplementation had limited protective effects on several key health parameters, suggesting that dietary interventions alone may not fully counteract environmental pollutant exposure.
