Abstract
A wide range of bacteria, yeasts, micro-algae and bacteriophages has been examined as probiotics, in either cellular or acellular form, for use in aquaculture with the benefits including improved growth and health, immunomodulation and disease protection.
Probiotic – from the Latin/Greek meaning “for life”
