Abstract
Aquaculture provides an excellent resource of animal protein of high nutritional value, and thus impacts favourably on food security. At present, one of the concurrent problems concerns the occurrence of diseases that results in significant economic losses globally of almost $9 billion USD per year. Thus, reducing the impact of disease on aquaculture production is an important necessity. To date, multiple strategies have been devised and implemented for the purposes of disease control of which the use of probiotics is gaining importance in many aquaculture-producing counties. It is apparent that apart from their role in moderating disease, probiotics may affect the host’s digestive system leading to beneficial actions, including stimulation of the immune system and increasing resistance to stress. This chapter will address the use of probiotics on finfish, namely those associated with cold, temperate, and warm water environments.
