Tarragon (<i>Artemisia dracunculus</i>) Essential Oil at Optimized Dietary Levels Prompted Growth, Immunity, and Resistance to Enteric Red‐Mouth Disease in the Rainbow Trout (<i>Oncorhynchus mykiss</i>)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fingerlings of the rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss ( n = 300, 10.63 ± 0.6 g), were fed tarragon ( Artemisia dracunculus ) essential oil (TGO) for 2 months to examine its effects on growth properties, immunity, and resistance to Yersinia ruckeri infection. The treatments were control or TG1, TG2 (fed 0.5% TGO), TG3 (1% TGO), and TG4 (2% TGO). According to the results, an improvement was observed in growth parameters in all TGO‐treated groups compared to the control ( P < 0.05). The digestive enzyme activities (protease and lipase) were significantly elevated in response to dietary TGO ( P < 0.05). The immune system of the fish was enhanced by TGO, as it stimulated the immune parameters in serum (lysozyme, myeloperoxidase (MPO), alternative complement (ACH 50 ), Ig) and mucus (lysozyme, protease, ACH 50 , Ig) ( P < 0.05). The treatments, TG3 and TG4, showed more immune performance in response to TGO ( P < 0.05). The fish in TG2 treatment had a higher levels of serum total protein than other groups ( P < 0.05). The concentration of triglycerides (TRIG) and cholesterol (CHOL) in serum significantly decreased ( P < 0.05) in response to TGO, as the lowest levels were observed in the treatment, TG3. The antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT)) of serum elevated in TGO‐treated fish, with the maximum values for the TG4 group ( P < 0.05). TGO reduced ( P < 0.05) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in serum. After bacterial challenge, the TGO‐treated fish showed lower mortality compared to the control, where the lowest mortality was observed in TG4 ( P < 0.05). In conclusion, TGO improved growth, immunity, and survival after bacterial challenge in the rainbow trout, with more performance in fish fed 1%–2% TGO.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
