Exploring the Impact of Probiotics on Aquaculture: A Comprehensive Overview
Akshay Mandal*
Abstract
Aquaculture is the fastest growing Agricultural sector which provide food security to the growing population of the world. Disease outbreak is the main challenge to the aqua farmers. Probiotic is alternative way to prevent the diseases and also increase the production of aquaculture. The purpose of probiotic bacteria in aquaculture is to prevent infectious illnesses as outlined in this review article.; improvement of water quality; improve the digestion, nutrients absorption and finally improve the overall growth of the cultured species and also increase the stress tolerance power of the aquaculture species etc. The review article includes general knowledge such as definition of probiotic, history behind the probiotics, probiotic strains, mechanism of action, the selection criteria of probiotic for particular species and their dose to get desired benefits and their application methods. Data was gathered and organized chronologically from a variety of secondary sources, including journals, research papers, articles, reports, and electronic media. This review's primary goal is to raise knowledge of the benefits of probiotics in aquaculture as a substitute for other chemicals and antibiotics.
