I am looking for an article in which a plant or combination of plants with a low dose (0.001 of food) is used to improve both growth and the immune performance of rainbow trout. The lowest dose of the crude plant as a supplement in the articles I dealt with was 0.01, But I'm looking for plants with a lower dose (about 0.001 or lower).
Azolla, Eichhornia, Cabomba, Aponogeton, Salvinia, Carex, Nymphoides, Pistia, Hydrilla, Lemna, Anacharis, Egeria, Limnophila, Rotala etc can all be used as fish foods in addition to various micro - or macroalgae (though not strictly plants). Blanced cucumber, small pieces of ripened banana, tiny bits of garlic, carrots, soybean etc are all excellent supplements as well (generally not maize or corn). Many otherlocally available edible land plants have been used as fish feed in various fisheries over the years as well.
I recommend that you take a look at these two papers:
doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2019.03.035 and doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2019.01.013
Apart from the examples already given, a few more are leaves of Ocimum tenuiflorum and Prosopis juliflora.
