An editor's note on the Probiotic Effect on Feeding Technology and their Use in Aquaculture.
A probiotic is a beneficial microorganism that protects the host animal from pathogens, either directly or indirectly. Antimicrobial medicines, pesticides, and disinfectants used in aquatic disease control and high production growth are becoming increasingly resistant to bacterial pathogens. As a result, probiotics research in aquaculture is becoming increasingly popular as a means of ensuring environmentally friendly, long-term aquaculture without the use of antibiotics. The benefits of probiotics include increased feed value, enzymatic stimulation in the digestive system, pathogen reversal, anti-mutagenic activity, and improved immune response. Probiotics in the gut microbiota of marine animals have not been properly studied, and their environmental impact has not been widely considered. Further research into the effect on enzyme activity related to the fish metabolism system is needed. The use of probiotics in fish, as well as their biosecurity, should be thoroughly investigated. The farmer should have a basic understanding of the probiotic organism and exercise caution when applying it to the culture field.
