Abstract Many classical therapeutants are going to be banned in Europe, and an urgent need for alternatives is emerging. This issue can exemplified by one major parasitic disease aquaculture ornamental fish breeding: velvet disease. disease, caused dinoflagellates of the genera Amyloodinium Piscinoodinium , important infection affecting cultured freshwater marine food fish, consistently causes great financial loss associated industries. Therapeutants available contain copper, malachite green, or methylene blue, which toxic non‐target organisms surrounding environment. As a result, these chemicals use industry several countries, prohibition commercial fishkeeping likely follow most countries. Increasing development resistance therapeutants, growing public awareness animal welfare environmental protection, have prompted research areas alternative treatment options immunostimulants. Hydrogen peroxide peracetic acid possible ‘green’ do not contribute residues Natural feed supplements such as pre‐ probiotics increase prevent stress and/or infections. Humic substances another promising, natural immunostimulants will considered depth.
