Research progress on biological functions of plant flavonoids and their applications in aquatic animal production.

Flavonoids widely exist in various organs of higher plants, and have biological functions such as high efficiency, low toxicity, promoting absorption, promoting growth and regulating immunity. Flavonoidsin can improve growth performance of animals, enhance body immunity, improve body antioxidation, which have a wide range of application prospects in animal husbandry. The paper reviews the biological functions of plant flavonoids, and summarizes the application research progress of plant flavonoids in aquatic animal growth, to provide reference for further development and utilization of plant flavonoids in aquaculture industry.
