| OCA14. Characteristics of the author's contribution | The main author\'s contribution to the article is its conception, creation of the article outline, guidance during writing, creation of a literature review with a description of the current state of the addressed issue in the field of the possibilities of using essential oils as antimicrobial agents in aquaculture, effective against fish pathogens, editing of the article, administration and financial coverage of the project - as the responsible researcher, within which the entire work was carried out. |

| OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc. | The importance of substances of natural origin in the prevention of diseases is currently highly topical, therefore the work is devoted to their beneficial effects with a focus on aquaculture. It has been growing in recent years, but with the increase in productivity, there is also an increased probability of bacterial diseases. The work was therefore focused on the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of plant essential oils against fish pathogens, using both classical and molecular research methods. The obtained results confirmed the potential possibilities of using essential oils as alternatives to antibiotic supplementation in fish farming. |

| OCA16. Annotation of the output in English | Essential oils are characterized by antibacterial and antibiofilm effects and the article presents results on the effects of eight selected essential oils against a significant fish pathogen, Aeromonas spp. Aeromonads were isolated from the digestive tract of rainbow trout and identified based on phenotypic characters as well as molecular methods. In vitro procedures were performed to test these effects, which confirmed that plant essential oils from oregano and thyme had the strongest antibacterial effects and also best reduced biofilm formation by pathogenic bacteria. Scanning electron microscopy was also used to visualize the antibacterial activity, which was performed primarily by disk diffusion test, in cooperation with the Technical University of Košice (P. Horňak). |

| OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practice | The use of natural substances such as essential oils in the prevention of bacterial diseases in fish represents one of the alternatives that lead to a reduced use of synthetically prepared antimicrobial substances or antibiotics, to which bacteria can develop resistance and these substances gradually become ineffective. In addition, they represent a huge burden on the environment and the danger of transmission of resistant strains to humans. |

| OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational process | It is very important for education in medical fields to understand the dangers of improper use of antimicrobial substances, especially antibiotics, in the prevention or treatment of diseases. Through the publication, it is possible to point out the possibilities of applying alternative substances of natural origin that exhibit antibacterial effects, and thus help reduce the antibiotic burden. Although this knowledge is presented for the needs of aquaculture, it is also transferable to other areas. |
