Abstract

Probiotics can serve as a valuable alternative to boost aquaculture productivity sustainably. The appropriate selection of strains and dosage for specific fish species is essential for achieving the intended advantages of probiotic treatment. Probiotics are administered as water additives, feed additives, or via injections, with the latter being extensively utilized in fisheries. The use of probiotics in the aquaculture industry has numerous advantages, including improved growth efficiency, enhanced feed utilization, strengthened immunological defense against pathogens, increased disease resistance, higher-quality water, and greater stress endurance. The utilization of probiotics in farmed animals can be implemented at the farm scale to improve the economic viability of aquaculture animals.
