Abstract
The utilization of probiotics in aquaculture has garnered significant attention as a potential microbial strategy for enhancing the health and overall well-being of various aquatic species reared in aquaculture settings. Among the diverse array of microbial options available, Bacillus probiotics have emerged as a particularly advantageous choice. This predilection is due to their special qualities, which include their ability to produce antimicrobial chemicals, the fact that they may be mixed with fish feed without causing any negative effects or toxicity, and the fact that they can create spores, which allows them to survive in harsh environments. Consequently, Bacillus species have gained prominence as the foremost probiotic option for augmenting feed consumption, mitigating stress responses, bolstering immune defenses, enhancing disease resistance, maintaining tissue integrity, and improving water quality. This mini-review retriving mainly about characteristics, mechanisms and importance of Bacillus probiotic in aquaculture industry.
