The growing tendency for food safety led to the ban of antibiotics. To replace their effects, the search for natural alternatives has begun. Thus, strong candidates to replace antibiotics are phytoadditives. Phytoadditives are fodder additives obtained from medicinal plants or plants extracts. Through their use it can be hoped to achieve the same results as in the use of antibiotics. Although they have a large spectrum of use, even today their mechanisms of action are not fully understood. Only recent, the study on the possibility of phytoadditives usage in aquaculture has begun. The present study is a review of the use of some plants as phytoadditives (garlic, onion, oregano, etc.) and of the researches made to reveal their effects on fish. The researches conducted in this field have shown the diverse effects of these phytoadditives used in fish as immunomodulators, immunostimulants, bioproductives, antioxidants, antimicrobials, stimulants of the enzymatic equipment, stimulants of nitrogen absorption. A major advantage in the use of phytoadditives is the fact that they are natural substances and do not pose any threat to fish, man or environment.
