Abstract

More and more herbal medicines have been applied to aquaculture. It is reported that herbal medicines can effectively improve immune functions of fish and shrimp, increase their non-specific killing activities to kinds of pathogens and enhance their resistance to diseases, which is very beneficial to prevention and cure of fish diseases and development of natural fish medicines. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza cyrrhiza uralensis Fiseh), a perennial herb of the genus Glycyrrhiza cyrrhiza in Leguminosae, is mainly distributed in Northeast China, North China and Northwest China. In aquaculture practice, if licorice can be used reasonably, not only can the resistance of pathogens caused by chemical drugs and antibiotics be avoided, but also because of its pure natural characteristics, the pollution of water and fish is relatively less than usual, thus it will avoid the problem of drug residues exceeding the standard. This opens up a new way for the prevention of fish diseases and the development of green fish medicine. However, there are still some problems to be solved in the use of licorice, such as the quality, dosage, specialized prescriptions and professional terms. In this paper, the fishery value of licorice was summarized from its active ingredients, application situation, problems and suggestions.
