Abstract

Probiotics, known as beneficial microorganisms, are being proposed as an effective and eco-friendly alternative to antibiotics. They were first applied in aquaculture species more than three decades ago, but considerable attention had been given only in the early 2000s. Probiotics defined as live, dead, or a component of the microorganisms which act under different modes of action in conferring beneficial effects to the host or its environment. Several probiotics have been characterized and applied in fish, and a number of them are of host origin. Unlike some disease control alternatives being adopted and proposed in aquaculture where actions are unilateral, the immense potential of probiotics lies on their multiple mechanisms in conferring benefits to the host fish and the rearing environment. The staggering number of probiotics papers in aquaculture highlights the multitude of advantages from these microorganisms and conspicuously position them in the dynamic search for health-promoting alternatives for cultured fish. The present review provides an update on the use of probiotics in finfish aquaculture, mainly focusing on their modes of action. It explores the contemporary understanding of their spatial and nutritional competitiveness, inhibitory metabolites, environmental modification capability, immunomodulatory potential, and stress-alleviating mechanism.
