Reviewing the safety of aquaculture probiotics
Probiotics are naturally occurring microbes in cultured animals or their environments that compete with bacterial pathogens to favorably alter the rearing environment and improve animal health. The success of a probiotic strain depends not only upon its stated and actual performance, but also its safety to the target organism, humans, and the surrounding environment.
