Abstract: In China, with the application of various antibiotics and chemical synthetic feed additives, the total output of aquaculture has been increasing, providing people with a large amount of high-quality, high-nutrition and low-cost animal protein. However, in recent years, with the improvement of people's material living standards and safe consumption awareness, there are higher requirements for the quality of aquatic products. In today's aquaculture, the side effects of antibiotics and chemical synthetic feed additives, such as drug residues, have attracted more and more attention, which has prompted the gradual transformation of feed additives from chemical synthetic types to natural plant types. Plant-derived feed additives are rich in resources and various types, rich in a variety of active ingredients, and have the functions of improving animal growth performance, enhancing anti-stress ability, and improving the quality of aquatic products. This paper introduces the effects of different plants and their extracts on the quality of aquatic products, and briefly reviews the application and development prospects of plants and their extracts as feed additives in aquaculture, in order to promote the green and healthy development of the aquaculture industry and provide reference for the research.

Key words: plants, plants extract, feed additives, quality of aquatic products
