Do probiotics work in aquaculture?
Probiotics administered in feeds provide competitive exclusion of pathogenic bacteria, create conditions unfavorable for pathogens and modulate intestinal immune responses.
Probiotic capacity of <i>Pseudovibrio denitrificans</i> isolates from a marine sponge
Study evaluates probiotic capacity of Pseudovibrio denitrificans from marine sponges and its potential to control emerging Vibrios on shrimp farms.
Effect of Streptomyces probiotics on gut microbiota of Pacific white shrimp
Study assessed shrimp juveniles fed enriched probiotic formulations, improving our understanding of the composition and dynamics of intestinal microbiota.
Use of probiotics in shellfish aquaculture
A review of the application of probiotics in shellfish aquaculture, methods of administration, mode of actions and their enhancing effects.
Evaluating commercial, dietary pre-, pro- and synbiotics in hybrid catfish
This study evaluated a commercially available prebiotics and probiotics under conditions simulating commercial production in hybrid catfish. Results showed that the various dietary treatments did not have any significant effects on processing characteristics or composition.
Could a probiotic combination drastically improve oyster larvae survival?
Treating oyster larvae with specific combinations of probiotics can "significantly boost" their survival rates, says a new study.
Bacillus probiotics benefit tilapia rearing under challenging conditions in Brazil
A recent study that evaluated the benefits of using probiotics with a balanced mixture of Bacillus bacteria strains to inhibit pathogenic bacteria in tilapia.
Probiotic bacteria repress viral diseases in aquaculture
Probiotic bacteria may inhibit the migration of viruses among cultured fishes and strengthen their immune systems.
Efficacy of probiotics in grow-out systems
An aquaculture probiotic is a bacterial supplement to manipulate microbial communities in the water and to improve growth and survival of the cultured species.
Effects of Bacillus velezensis dietary supplementation on growth and health of Pacific white shrimp
Assessing the B. velezensis BV007 supplement to promote growth, enhance immune response and modulate intestinal microbiota of L. vannamei shrimp.
Artemia bioencapsulation delivers probiotics via digestive tracts of fish larvae
Research with sturgeon and carp species indicated that encapsulated artemia has high potential to carry probiotics or other beneficial microorganisms.
Characterizing the microbial community of farmed Nile tilapia in Colombia
Study characterizes the microbial community and dynamics of a continuous-flow competitive exclusion culture derived from gut microbiomes in Nile tilapia.
Effect of agavin on beneficial microbes within Pacific white shrimp
Study provides the first evidence that a shrimp prebiotic like agavin may selectively modify the microbiota in an organ-dependent effect.
Potential roles of epigenetic regulation and intestinal microbiome in resistance to Vibrio in Pacific white shrimp
Findings offer insights on key mechanisms shaping disease resistance in shrimp and for selection of superior lines with high disease resistance.
Comparing recirculating, biofloc and synbiotic systems for Pacific white shrimp in low salinity and high-density conditions
Synbiotic systems can be considered a promising approach for the super-intensive culture of P. vannamei in low-salinity water.
Probiotics improve nursery performance of juvenile sea cucumbers
While sea cucumbers are one of the most prized seafoods in China and Asia, their production suffers from suboptimal juvenile production. The use of proper feeds and overall management in the nursery can improve yield and survival.
Raceway systems offer tools for EMS management
Highly controlled tank and raceway systems can help farmers raise postlarval shrimp to larger sizes before stocking in grow-out ponds. Raceways have recently been implemented for EMS management.
Success factors in marine fish culture
Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution researchers have developed marine fish culture methods on an experimental to pilot scale.
