Abstract

Probiotics are supplements that impose health benefits to the host fish when applied at the right amount. Probiotics stabilizes the microbial population of the fish’s gastrointestinal tract through elimination of pathogenic microbes and increased digestibility and bioavailability of nutrients required for optimal growth and good health. Fish farmers and fish consumer also benefits from probiotics application in several ways such as improved growth, carcass and flesh quality, boosting of immune system, high survival rate and reduced malformations. Farmers should be encouraged to include probiotics in feed in order to enjoy the corresponding benefits it presents.
