“…Bacteria associated with live feed, including pathogenic bacteria, can be transmitted to larval fish during feeding (Benavente & Gatesoupe 1988). As live prey actively ingest bacteria, it is possible to introduce favourable bacteria as a probiotic.…”

“…It was not possible, however, to recover either L. lactis AR21 or V. anguillarum from the rotifers after 24 h (54). Live food such as rotifers is often suspected of being a vector for bacterial infections of the predatory organisms (76,81,89,129). It is therefore surprising that studies dealing with the proliferation of larval pathogens in rotifer cultures are so scarce.…”

SUMMARY There is an urgent need in aquaculture to develop microbial control strategies, since disease outbreaks are recognized as important constraints to aquaculture production and trade and since the development of antibiotic resistance has become a matter of growing concern. One of the alternatives to antimicrobials in disease control could be the use of probiotic bacteria as microbial control agents. This review describes the state of the art of probiotic research in the culture of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and live food, with an evaluation of the results obtained so far. A new definition of probiotics, also applicable to aquatic environments, is proposed, and a detailed description is given of their possible modes of action, i.e., production of compounds that are inhibitory toward pathogens, competition with harmful microorganisms for nutrients and energy, competition with deleterious species for adhesion sites, enhancement of the immune response of the animal, improvement of water quality, and interaction with phytoplankton. A rationale is proposed for the multistep and multidisciplinary process required for the development of effective and safe probiotics for commercial application in aquaculture. Finally, directions for further research are discussed.

“…Several observations suggest that bacterial interference may explain part of these problems and that intensive incubation techniques may change normal relations between egg/larvae and bacteria to one that is detrimental (Kusuda et al, 1986;Perez Benavente and Gatesoupe, 1988;Lein et al, 1992;Vadstein et al, 1993). Because opportunistic pathogens may be present in the epiflora of fish eggs (McFadden, 1969;Bergh et al, 1991), eggs can furthermore act as an important vector for transmission of diseases from parent to offspring and between rearing plants.…”

For surface disinfection of marine fish eggs Buffodine (1.06% free iodine), glutaraldehyde, chloramine-T and sodium hypochlorite (5% free chlorine) were tested using plaice (Pleuronectes plutessa L.) as the main species for evaluation. Glutaraldehyde was the most promising candidate of the four chemicals tested. Good bactericidal effects without any documented negative effects on eggs and larvae were obtained at concentrations of 400-600 mg 1-l and contact times of 5-10 min. Replicated experiments under identical disinfection conditions revealed a clear correlation between the degree of successful surface disinfection and the initial bacterial load of the egg batch.
