“…In this context, the administration of probiotics in aquaculture is considered as viable alternative to improve animal health and growth with low environmental impacts (Hai, 2015). The main outcome after probiotics feeding is the stimulation of the immune system, growth performance enhancement, intestinal microbiota modulation and bioremediation (Kuebutornye et al., 2020; Olmos et al., 2020; Soltani et al., 2019). Several authors highlight probiotics mechanism of action to their capacity to inhibit pathogen growth, to produce several substances (e.g.…”

“…In addition, changing the composition of the intestinal microbiota for a higher proportion of commensal bacterial communities may help the innate and adaptive functions, and boost the host intestine integrity (Hoseinifar et al., 2019). The commensal bacteria contribute to the host immune response by interacting with the gut‐associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) (Banerjee & Ray, 2017; Kuebutornye et al., 2020).…”

This study aimed to verify the possible positive effects of feeding the commercial probiotic Bioplus 2BC® [Bacillus subtilis (1.6 × 1010 CFU/g) and Bacillus licheniformis (1.6 × 1010 CFU/g)] to Nile tilapia on its growth performance, nutrient digestibility, gut microbiology, haematology (hematimetric index, erythrocyte, leucocyte and thrombocyte counts) and innate immunology (lysozyme, burst respiratory and phagocyte activities). For this purpose, one in vivo assay was performed following a completely randomized design, with four treatments (0.00%; 0.02%; 0.04%; and 0.08% of probiotic inclusion on ratio) and four replicates. The fish fed with diets containing 0.04% and 0.08% of probiotics presented higher weight gain than the control group, as well as higher thrombocyte counts in the bloodstream. The positive effect of the probiotics on the gut microbiota was illustrated by the higher richness and habitability indexes, soaring genetic variability. On the contrary of control, the groups fed with probiotic had Firmicutes, Fusobacteria and Bacteroidetes phyla, and a lower percentage of Proteobacteria. The inclusion of 0.04% and 0.08% of B. subtilis and B. licherniformis in the fed provides better growth performance and modifies the intestinal microbiota, reducing the class of potential pathogen agent species. The establishment of a beneficial microorganism population may improve host health.

“…These are reported to promote the growth of fish (Hernandez et al 2010; Dawood & Koshio 2016) by improving growth parameters like feed conversion ratio (FCR), specific growth rate (SGR), apparent nitrogen utilization (ANU) and protein efficiency ratio (PER; Allameh et al 2017). Besides, they are also reportedly having cellulolytic, lipolytic, proteolytic and amylolytic properties (Saha et al, 1999;Roy et al 2009;Hlophe & Moyo 2013), stimulate appetite, detoxify substances and break down indigestible components in the diet (Kuebutornye et al 2020) and are able to utilize carbohydrates, such as raffinose, mannose, cellobiose, xylose and cellulose (Kar et al 2008). Being part of plant ingredients, probiotics show their capacity to support digestion of plant feedstuffs and to neutralize the anti-nutrients present in plant ingredients (Allameh et al 2017;Ghosh et al 2018).…”

“…The use of probiotics can potentiate the benefits of aquaculture activity (Cruz et al 2012;Pramanick et al 2019). Therefore, the use of probiotics in fish feed should be seen as an important step in aquaculture sustainability and profitability (Kuebutornye et al 2020) and a way forward towards environmental friendly and organic aquaculture (Carnevali et al 2017).…”

Perspectives on utilization of macrophytes as feed ingredient for fish in future aquaculture

Aquaculture activity supplies high-quality protein at affordable cost. A global call for foods of aquatic origin has heightened not only due to the zooming population growth, but also because of a choice of healthier foods for human beings. As the industry expands, it is facing the high cost of feeding because the key ingredients, that is fishmeal and fish oil, of aquadiet are very expensive. Identification of alternate foodstuffs that will remarkably minimize the expense of productivity of animal protein becomes a priority with due regard to environmental footprint. Alternative feed components are vital in partially or completely substituting unsustainable but high-value components or constituents that will otherwise have direct competition with human use. Utilization of aquatic plants as a substitute for fish meal has the potential to revolutionize aquaculture in meeting global protein demand. A lot of money is spent on aquatic weed management, so this research idea tries to integrate both economic aspects and the environmental concerns. Macrophyte-based feed ingredients have promising nutrient profile: crude protein ranges between 11% and 32%; lipid, 2.90% and 16.81%; and ash, 8% and 31%, a good array of amino acids; and a good amount of micro-and macronutrients that make them prosperous substituents for fish feed.
