The objective of this review is to compile and assess the findings of several studies on the use of Rocket (Eruca sativa) as feed additives or alternatives to fish nutrition. Antioxidant glucosinolates, flavonoids, and vitamins A and C are present in this plant, which has been shown to improve growth metrics and blood characteristics, according to the findings of the scientists. Effective oxidation against stress, the generation of free radicals, and pathogenic microorganisms, which enhances the health of fish and thus promotes growth and food utilization. In addition to its medical value as an alternative to antibiotics with negative side effects.

To examine the effects of adding seeds powder and rocket Eruca sativa leaves to the diets of common carp Cyprinus carpio L. fish with percentages of 1, 2, and 3% of the total diet (the first, second, and third treatments), as well as the addition of rocket leaf powder to the fourth, fifth, and sixth diets, respectively, While the control diet, was empty of these additions (the seventh diet). Each treatment was replicated three times. These diets were used to feed common carp for 56 days. According to the statistical analysis's research results, the fish fed the fourth diet significantly superior surpassed the control diet and all other experimental diets in terms of growth criteria represented by the final weight, total weight gain, daily growth rate, relative, specific growth rate, and in terms of feed utilization: feed conversion ratio, feeding efficiency ratio and protein efficiency ratio. Except for the sixth treatment, the fed fish outperformed all other experimental treatments, and the second and fourth treatments regarding retained protein and protein production value. Fish were fed as the fifth treatment, significantly superior to the control diet. These results in the highest percentage of dry matter and crude protein for the edible portion of the body. Feeding fish on the fourth treatment resulted in the lowest proportion of ether extract, much lower than all the experimental diets. DOI: 10.33899/ijvs.2022.135758.2514, ©Authors, 2022,
