Description
Summary:Immunity stimulants are applied to improve the immune system of aquatic organisms. In this study, the effect of oral administration of Marze ( Satureja khuzestanica ) and mountainous Lael ( Oliviera decumbens ) extracts on haematological parameters and lysozyme activity stimulation in Common carp was investigated during a 5-week period. At the end of this period, blood samples were taken for haematological and immunological assays (lysozyme activity). The result showed that white blood cell count ( p  > 0.05) and the ratio of white blood cells ( p  > 0.05) were not significantly affected by plant extract administration. There were significant differences between the serum lysozyme activities in different treatments ( p
