The Effect of Different Levels of Salicornia Sp Plant Extract on Some of the Blood Biochemical Parameters and Digestive Enzymes of Grey Mullet, Mugil cephalus Linnaeus 1758

Inroduction & The Salicornia sp plant is a halophyte that has been widely consumed as a seasoned vegetable. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of Salicornia sp plant extract on blood biochemical parameters and digestive enzymes of grey mullet, Mugil cephalus for 60 days. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 240 of grey mullet (with average weight of 8.42±0.43g) in 4 treatments and 3 replicates (n=20 in each replicate) and included: control group without using plant extract, an another groups (treatment 2,3and 4) the amounts of this extract were 50,1000 and 1500 mg/kg food. The results of experiment showed among the measured factors, cholesterol, triglycerides, amylase and protease showed significant differences between the treatments fed with Salicornia extract and the control group (P < 0.05). The results of experiment showed that the lowest cholesterol (8.13± 1.44 mg/dL) and d the highest level of total protein (6.8±0.33 g/dL), albumin (5.25±0.54 g/dL), amylase (470±10 U/mg protein) and protease (328.21±7.63 U/mg protein) was observed in the diet containing 1500 mg/kg Slicornia extract and showed a significant difference compared with all treatments (P<0.05). So use of the diet containing 1500 mg /kg Slicornia extract of had positive effects blood biochemical parameters and digestive enzymes of grey mullet.
