“…In spite of the fact that alteration of microbiome through application of probiotics for animals is fairly a new concept, it seems that these probiotics can be of high prominence for aquatic organisms, drawing new horizons of microbial biotherapy for marine organisms, as well. In the sh farming, many published studies have demonstrated profound effects of probiotics for various sh species, including rainbow trout (27,29,30), common carp (5,31), n sh (32), Mediterranean species (33), Mozambique tilapia, tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41), juvenile hybrid tilapia (42), Nile tilapia (43,44), European Sea bass juveniles, grouper sh (45), gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) (46), Caspian white sh (Rutilus frisii kutum) (47), striped cat sh (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) (48), African cat sh (Clarias gariepinus) (49), Shabot (Barbus grypus, and Tor grypus) (50,51), grass carp (52,53), black swordtail (Xiphophorus helleri) (54), eastern oyster (Crassostrea Virginica) (55), zebra sh (Danio rerio) (56-60), and shrimp (6, 61-64). There are several well-characterized and potentiated strains which act as probiotics, altering the composition of intestinal microbiota to achieve favorable effects such as enhancing growth, reproduction, digestion, nutrient absorption and metabolism, intestinal mucosal morphology, competitive binding and blocking of adhesion sites, host defense and immunity against infections, and disease resistance of the host organism.…”

Background Usage of “probiotics” for treatment of food-borne pathogens associated diseases, makes a significant reduction in transmission of resistant bacteria, and antimicrobial resistance genes from aquaculture environments to humans. In this research, authors aim to evaluate immunomodulatory, and histological effects of two probiotic strains on Zebrafish model. Biometric tests, height, weight, and mortality rate of the fishes were assessed. Afterward, RT-PCR was conducted for bacterial existence of probiotic strains, and quantitative assessment of alterations in targeted immune genes. Subsequently, histological sampling was done for investigation of spatial distribution, and villus length in proximal, middle, and distal sections of intestinal tissues. Results Based on the results, there was an increased rate of goblet cells, and villus length in the middle and distal sections of intestinal tissue in case groups receiving both probiotic bacteria in 28th and 56th days. Furthermore, highest number of intraepithelial cells was observed in the proximal sections of intestinal tissue in groups receiving both probiotic bacteria in 56th days. The highest gene expression for Lactobacillus bulgaricus was found in groups only treated with this probiotic bacteria in 60th day. The highest gene expression for Lactobacillus acidophilus was found in case groups treated with both of probiotic bacteria in 28th day. The highest expression level of IL-1β, and TNF-α were found in control group (only infected by pathogen and receiving no probiotic). The highest survival rate was in case groups only treated with Lactobacillus bulgaricus. Conclusion To sum up, it seems that usage of probiotic for improvement of public health and fisheries industries can be helpful.

“…Marine fish, particularly the red snappers, are often exposed to parasitic helminth infestation (Montoya-Mendoza et al, 2014;Oliveira et al, 2020). Visual results indicated that the most prevalent ectoparasitic worm in the red snapper was Benedenia epinepheli, which was found on the fin and skin (Jithendran et al, 2005;Loh et al, 2020). Meanwhile, Neobenedenia girellae (Kishimori et al, 2015), Hatschekia poche (Justine et al, 2012), Haliotrema species, and Diplectanum squamatum N. (Santos et al, 2002) were encountered on the gill.…”

Marine fish, particularly the red snappers, are often exposed to helminth parasitic infestation. As a result of the parasitic infestation, the fish population, the fish weight, and the morphological changes in the fish are shrinking. The present research aimed to find out the intensity and predilection of the helminth ectoparasites over the infection of the red snapper (Lutjanus argentimaculatus) and employed the survey method for this purpose. The sampling was carried out by the purposive sampling technique. The sample obtained consisted of 30 fish, 20% of the total red snapper population of 150 fish reared in the floating net cages of Balai Besar Perikanan Budidaya Laut Lampung. The intensity of the fish infestation by a mixture of Haliotrema epinepheli and Benedenia epinepheli was 132.5 individuals/fish. Neobenedenia girellae and Haliotrema epinepheli infected fish with an intensity of 149.41 individuals/fish. The 66.7% of Benedenia epinepheli had a predilection for the dorsal fin, and 33.3% for the anal fin. In Neobenedenia girellae, 57.1% had a predilection for the body surface, 37.2% for the head surface, and 5.7% for the dorsal fin. In conclusion, all sampled fish were positively infected with helminth ectoparasites, including Neobenedenia girellae, Haliotrema epinepheli, and Benedenia epinepheli.

“…Grouper farming suffers from diseases caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites. This hinders the efficient production, development and sustainable expansion of this industry (Li et al., 2020; Loh et al., 2019). Vibriosis is a common bacterial disease that affects all stages of grouper growth and accounts for about 66.7% of all grouper diseases.…”

“…Over 159 grouper species are distributed in tropical and subtropical areas throughout the world. The orange‐spotted grouper ( Epinephelus coioides ), brown marbled grouper ( Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ) and giant grouper ( Epinephelus lanceolatus ) are the most valuable aquaculture species in Asia and China (Loh et al., 2019). The total production of farmed groupers in 2019 was 183,127 tons with an increase of 15% over 2018 (Fishery Administration Bureau of Ministry of Agriculture, 2020).…”

The orange‐spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) is an important marine farmed fish in China. It is affected by the bacterial pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus, which causes high mortality and substantial economic losses. We studied the transcriptional changes of the IgZ gene in E. coioides following V. alginolyticus stimulation and investigated the distribution of IgZ in different tissues. The highest expression level of IgZ occurred in the head kidney. When fish were stimulated with live and inactivated V. alginolyticus, the expression levels of IgZ in the head kidney, spleen, intestine, gills and blood cells were significantly upregulated. In an in situ hybridization study, IgZ mRNA‐positive cells were detected in the head kidney, spleen and gill, but positive signals were not detected in the liver and intestine. IgZ‐labelled cells increased in the head kidney, spleen and gills post‐infection with V. alginolyticus for 21 days. The present study provides additional evidence that IgZ is involved in mucosal immune responses and helps explain the role of IgZ in E. coioides defence against V. alginolyticus infection.
