- Description
- The diseases and nutrient deficiency in fish and other cultured aquatic species are of crucial concern as they cause severe economic loss in aquaculture sectors. The use of probiotics has proven to be an effective option to reduce the infections improve the overall health and enhance the productivity. This review comprehensively brought out significance of probiotics, their mode of administration via encapsulation methods and their mechanism of action reported by several research works. We have also highlighted the other beneficial aspects of probiotics as potent functional agents influencing gut microbiota, competence with pathogenic bacteria, release of antimicrobial secretions and maintain the water quality in environmental friendly manner which ensures sustainable aquaculture and fish farming. This review has also covered up the role of probiotics in wide spectrum of functions such as antiviral and antifungal properties, reducing stress and diseases, modifying the gut microbiota, improving the fecundity, survival and modulating the immune system of the host. We have discussed every aspect of probiotics and correlated with the existing research and review articles till date. However, most of the studies are reported based on the laboratory trials and experiments; commercial and large-scale demonstration has to be scaled up and utilization of them in natural environments like ponds and lakes will be effective way to broaden aquaculture industry.
