Probiotics for marine larviculture offer an alternative to the prophylactic use of antibiotics in aquaculture, which may lead to drug-resistance. 

Machine learning technology and novel alternatives like bacteriocins are unlocking a new era of tackling disease and antibiotic use in aquaculture. 

Research at the Acho­tines Laboratory in Panama has been inconclusive involving probiotic treatments of first-feeding larval tuna and the roti­fers they eat. 

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential survival and growth benefits of three multi-strain probiotics in three different stages of juvenile rohu (hatchling to advanced fry). Results showed beneficial effects of the probiotics treatments for the hatchling and fry stages, but not for later stages. 

Research has shown that probiotics and prebiotics can help mediate stress responses and improve disease resistance, growth performance, feed utilization, carcass composition and other traits by stimulating animals’ innate immune systems. 

There is increasing evidence that natural feed additives can have beneficial effects on aquaculture animals by supporting well-balanced gut microflora and improving gut health. 

This study evaluated through in vitro analyses the antimicrobial effectiveness of natural products used for P. vannamei bacterial diseases and antibiotics against pathogenic Vibrio strains circulating in Ecuadorian hatcheries. 

In a study, three probiotics applied to shrimp pond water throughout a culture period were not effective in preventing Vibrio harveyi outbreaks. 

Microbial flocs consist of a variety of bacteria, fungi, microalgae and other organisms suspended with detritus in culture water. 

Maintaining healthy stock requires a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on hygiene and both environmental and animal conditions. 

Evaluating gut microbiota modulation in L. vannamei through dietary yeast cell wall additive improves animal performance, healthy intestinal microbiota. 

The commercial probiotics evaluated in this trial increased shrimp hatchery production and improved the quality and disease resistance of postlarvae. 

Studies at a commercial sturgeon farm that experienced serious disease effects from varied bacterial pathogens in fish yielded positive results for probiotic treatments. 

A probiotic showed remarkable inhibition against AHPND in Pacific white shrimp, supporting reduced mortality within different ranges of salinities. 

Shrimp larvae do not need artemia, but they need its nutrients. A synthetic artemia can support aquaculture’s increasing role as a responsible provider of food for the world’s growing human population. 

Single-cell detritus is a seaweed-based bioproduct whose use as feed has been studied with oysters and artemia. The authors are working toward the development of SCD for shrimp larvae. 

Pond microbial communities are a critical and often overlooked component of aquaculture ecosystems. Bacterial amendments like probiotics provide significant support to shrimp farmers around the world. 

The dramatic transformation of the shrimp sector in Asia was fueled by the switch from monodon shrimp to P. vannamei seedstock from Hawaii.
