With the increase of the world population, the need for food resources has increased. Fishing has also been associated with a rapid increase in fish consumption, as well as the presence of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential for humans other than high-quality and high-vitamin, mineral and protein structure. It is observed that the quantities obtained from hunting decreased in the researches carried out and the increase in the amount of products grown against this occurred. One of the most important factors in the aquaculture breeding is the feed given to the cultivated species and the content of this feed. Fish meal and fish meal and fish meal are used in a significant amount. The inclusion of these feedstocks in fish feeds increases prices and, as a result, increases the cost of operating costs. Feed additives are added to the rations in order to better utilize the feed and reduce the feed costs in the feeding of the fish beside the feed raw materials. Restricting the use of antibiotics in animal nutrition has led to the preference of organic products for consumers. Probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, antioxidants, preservatives, emulsifiers, stabilizers and organic acids are some of the alternative feed additives.
