Abstract
Immunostimulatory can be used for fish disease prevention as it can enhance fish resistance by increasing the non specific defense mechanisms. The aim of this research was to examine the immunostimulatory effect of Azadirachta indica against P. fluorescens. .It contains alkaloids, flavonoids, carbohydrates, proteins, saponins, phenols, terpenoids and phytosterols. The plant leaves extract A. indica treated fish group showed no mortality. The bacterial agglutination assay of the plant extract treated fish exhibited earlier and more bacterial agglutination and the respiratory burst activity was also high. Both acid and alkaline phosphatase was reduced at the end of the experiment and the catalase was increased. Hematological parameters were also elevated. It is concluded that 30 ppm of A. indica plant leaves extract is more effective to defend P. fluorescens. Thus A. indica acts as an immunostimulant to enhance the activity of fish.
