Probiotics and Its Application in Aquaculture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Aquaculture Science and Engineering

Abstract

During the preceding two decades, there has been a tremendous rise in both finfish and shellfish aquaculture. Even while there have been positive impacts, some of these improvements have also led to environmental deterioration, the spread of illness, and a decreased rate of productivity. Research and probiotics have both been stimulated by the demand for improved growth performance, enhance immune system, feed efficiency, and safety in the aquatic environment. Antibiotics are very effective at treating ailments, but they are also utilized to fuel the expansion of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistance genes and accumulate antimicrobial residues in fish tissues. The effect could be detrimental to human health, the fish population, and the environment. A newly used approach to combat bacterial illnesses in fish involves using vaccinations. Probiotics, due to increased demand, help further push the need for ecologically friendly aquaculture. Nonetheless, we need to work on our comprehension of gut microbiology, produce adequate probiotic amounts, and ensure the safety of these supplements.
