“…The stomach environment in carnivore fish is quite different from that of herbivore and omnivore characterized by high acidity and intense activity by digestive enzymes [12,13,41]. And, the performance of oral vaccine heavily depends on the stomach environment.…”

“…Till today, we evaluated the biofilm oral vaccine in herbivore and omnivore fish. Therefore, information is required on performance of biofilm vaccine in a carnivore fish where the stomach environment is quite different from that of herbivorous carps and omnivore catfish [12,13,41]. Futhermore, antibody response was evaluated by agglutination titre.…”

“…The principle reasons for the increased interest and development of fish farming are due to the recent advances in the development of fish culture techniques in the world particularly in the field of husbandry and management of culture system and the development of standardized artificial breeding technologies such that supply of seeds is guaranteed and controlled by the fish farmer. A large number of reports are available on general biology in relation to food, feeding habits and breeding [1]. However, information in relation to nutrient requirements of the fish protein is limited.…”

“…Commonly available probiotics are Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus subtilis and EfinolG (mixture of microbes). Several studies have shown that probiotics improves the growth rate of fishes by improving the immune status of fishes [1,4,[8][9][10]. The use of Probiotics to displace pathogenic bacteria by competitive process is a better remedy than administering antibiotics.…”

The use of probiotic for disease prevention and improved nutrition in aquaculture is becoming popular due to an increasing demand for environment friendly aquaculture. Here we used Bacillus subtilis as a probiotic to fish to evaluate the effect of probiotic on microbiological and haematological responsiveness of cat fish (Heteropnuestes fossilis) challenged with bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila and fungi Aphanomyces invadans. Heteropneustes fossilis were collected from local market at Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India. Fish were subjected into microbiological, haematological, physiological observation. In H. fosilis, probiotic accepted fishes gained more weight than that of the control fishes fed with control diet. The gut micro flora of H. fossilis was found to be 6.3×10 6 , 5.7×10 7 , 5.4×10 5 and 5.1×10 5 cells in D1 treatment fishes on 10 4 ,10 5 ,10 6 and 10 7 dilutions respectively. The microbiological estimation also showed a dual increase in trial count in T2 injected fish than that of the T3 injected fish. Many factors can influence the immune response of fish. Among them are stressors and environmental factors are natural. In the present investigation behavioural symptoms to pathogenicity such as imbalance, restlessness and avoidance of food were observed. Pathological symptoms include fin necrosis and tail rot which were also observed. In some cases septicaemic ulceration was noticed. Haematological parameters elicited changes which are able to reveal some clues for diagnosis and prognosis of the disease state. T2 fishes were inflicted alterations in TEC, TLC, DLC, and Hb content which indicated decrease state of immunity, when compared with T3 fishes. Bacteria injected fishes showed good healthy status whereas fungal injected fishes showed non healthy status of fish.

“…Similarly, a significant improvement in lipase and protease activities was recorded upon supplementation of B. licheniformis in rohu ( Labeo rohita ) fingerlings (Roy, Banerjee, Dan, Ghosh, & Ray, ). In addition, Manju et al () revealed that dietary administration of Efinol ® FG, (a commercial probiotic containing B. subtilis , B. coagulans and S. cerevisiae ) significantly improved lipase activity in the striped murrel ( Channa striatus ). More information on the effects of probiotics on feed digestibility, digestive enzyme activities, growth performance and health status in different farmed finfish and crustaceans can be found in Hoseinifar et al ().…”

Effects of dietary supplementation of a marine thermotolerant bacterium, Bacillus paralicheniformis SO‐1, on growth performance and immune responses of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of thermotolerant bacterium on growth and immune responses of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Bacillus paralicheniformis SO‐1 was isolated from marine environments and incorporated into four isonitrogenous (300g/kg crude protein; cp) and isocaloric (18 MJ/kg) diets at four concentrations: 0, 5, 10 and 20 g/kg diet. Each diet was fed to triplicate groups of Nile tilapia (41.5 ± 0.5 g average weight) at a daily rate of 3% of their biomass, three times a day for 50 days. At the end of the feeding trial, the growth rates, feed utilization efficiency (feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio, protein productive value), digestive enzymes (protease, amylase and lipase) activities, immunological response (serum lysozyme activity, phagocytic activity, respiratory burst and superoxide dismutase activity) and the expression of immune‐related genes [interleukin‐1 (IL‐1), interleukin‐4 (IL‐4) and interleukin‐12 (IL‐12)] were determined. Growth rates, digestive enzymes activities and immunological parameters were significantly improved (p < 0.05) with increasing supplemental SO‐1 up to 10 g/kg. However, further increase in bacterial concentration to 20 g/kg lead to significant decline in fish performance and immune response (p < 0.05). The expression of IL‐1, IL‐4 and IL‐12 genes was significantly up‐regulated (p < 0.05) in the liver of Nile tilapia fed SO‐1‐treated diets. This study clearly demonstrated that B. paralicheniformis SO‐1 could be considered as an efficient growth promoter and immune‐stimulating probiotic for farmed Nile tilapia.
