Aquaculture is fast-growing and expanding the highest average compounded rate per year.
However, intensification of aquaculture is threatened by emergence of health disturbances due to abusive use of antibiotics and thus, sustainable treatments and prophylactic measures to overcome emergence of resistant pathogens istill with high interest.
The use of chemical drugs and antiseptic develops drug-resistant microorganisms with antibiotic residues retained in fish and shellfish flesh and destroys benthic aquatic environment. Actual data provided evidence that health and zootechnical performances of in aquaculture can be improved by the prophylactic use of probiotics.
In this respect, use of probiotics is gaining acceptance in aquaculture control for potential pathogens prevention and well-being live food. Else, use of probiotics is a suitable method for keeping the environment, preventing farmed aquatic disease, improving the control of pathogens and increasing feed efficiency, growth and husbandry parameters.
