Antibacterial activity was found to show with oil of Nigella sative. It was determined formed on the diameter of inhibition (inhibition zone: 18 mm) of the oil against Vibrio anguillarum and Lactococcus garvieae pathogens. Plant oils of Hypericum perforatum, Sesamum indicum were not found the antibacterial effect against the bacterial fish pathogens. Antibacterial and immunostimulant feature of this plant is known to be therapeutic for human health in many disease also we were found to be effective against fish pathogens. As a result of the studies, Nigella sative oil were determined to be potentially be used in treatment against vibriosis and lactococcosis.
