Probiotics in Aquaculture

Probiotics in aquaculture are live beneficial microorganisms added to aquatic environments or fish feed to improve the health and growth of farmed fish and shellfish. They help maintain a balanced and healthy microbial ecosystem, reduce harmful pathogens, and enhance the fish’s immune system. By promoting better digestion and nutrient absorption, probiotics can lead to improved growth rates and overall productivity. They are a natural alternative to antibiotics, supporting sustainable aquaculture practices. Overall, probiotics contribute to healthier aquatic populations and safer seafood production.
