Overview of Lemna sp. in Aquaculture: Flavonoids for Boosting the Immune System in Fish

Abstract

This study aims to provide information that the content of flavonoids in Lemna sp. can be an effort to control disease in fish. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive method. The conclusion of the research is to show the ability of Lemna sp. can be used in the prevention of disease in fish. Lemna sp. has immune-modulatory properties, namely the ability to increase phagocytosis so that it can increase the body's immunity in fish. Flavonoid content in Lemna sp. has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, and anticarcinogenic properties coupled with their capacity to modulate cellular enzyme function. Flavonoids also have the potential to stimulate the immune system.
