Abstract

The practice of using antibiotics and chemotherapeutants indiscriminately for the treatment of diseases in aquaculture could result in the accumulation of residues and development of resistant strains of bacteria. Owing to the greater consumer concern about the danger of antibiotic residues and resistant pathogenic strains of bacteria, the need for the use of biological or probiotic feed additive is increasing. In general, probiotics are single or mixed cultures of selected strains of bacteria which have varied beneficial effects. Although many commercial probiotic feed supplements are available for use in livestock feeds, the use of probiotics in aquaculture feed is still being studied.
