The objective of this research was to isolate and identify lactic acid bacteria living in the digestive tract of the queen scallop Aequipecten opercularis and further test it as a probiotic culture on the growth of the bivalve during one month in captivity. Classic microbiological techniques (API and MALDI TOF) were used and four different strains of Lactiplantibacillus and one Lactococcus were identified and further analyzed, namely: Lactiplantibacillus plantarum I, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 1, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 2, Lactococcus lactis, and Lactiplantibacillus brevis. The isolated cultures were further tested for the highest antimicrobial activity towards the most common marine pathogens and survival at different temperatures and pH levels. The strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum I had the best results, with the highest antimicrobial activity (77–85% pathogen growth inhibition) and the best safety standards showing no antibiotic resistance, and no ability to synthesize biogenic amine and degrade red blood cells. Considering all the abovementioned characteristics, the strain Lpb. plantarum I was further tested on the growth and health status of the bivalve Aequipecten opercularis during a month of cultivation in captivity. The results showed that the incorporation of Lpb. plantarum I led to a decrease in the quantity of test microorganisms in the bivalve and an increase in both the growth rate weight and growth rate length of the queen scallop A. opercularis. Furthermore, the scallops fed with the algae culture + Lpb. plantarum I gained significantly higher meat yield (33.15 ± 2.63%) compared with the control scallops fed only with the algae culture (29.66 ± 2.87%). To conclude, the results from this research indicate that including Lpb. plantarum I as a dietary supplement could enhance growth performance and serve as a feasible approach to reduce pathogen levels while cultivating A. opercularis in captivity.

One of the main challenges in aquaculture is pathogenic bacterial control. Streptococcus iniae stands out for its ability to cause high mortality rates in populations of commercially important fish populations and its recent recognition as an emerging zoonotic pathogen. The rise in identifying over 80 strains some displaying antibiotic resistance coupled with the emerging occurrence of infections in marine mammal species and wild fish underscores the urgent need of understanding pathogenesis, virulence and drug resistance mechanisms of this bacterium. This understanding is crucial to ensure effective control strategies. In this context, the present review conducts a bibliometric analysis to examine research trends related to S. iniae , extending into the mechanisms of infection, virulence, drug resistance and control strategies, whose relevance is highlighted on vaccines and probiotics to strengthen the host immune system. Despite the advances in this field, the need for developing more efficient identification methods is evident, since they constitute the basis for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

“…However, concerns over antibiotic usage in aquaculture have led to investigating replacements to reduce reliance on these treatments [7,8]. This has sparked great interest in finding new, innovative feed additives for tilapia, such as probiotics [9,10], prebiotics [11][12][13], and synbiotics [14,15]. These additives have been reported to enhance growth performance, health status, immune function, antioxidant defenses, and immune-related gene expression in tilapia.…”

Chitosan (CH) shows great potential as an immunostimulatory feed additive in aquaculture. This study evaluates the effects of varying dietary CH levels on the growth, immunity, intestinal morphology, and antioxidant status of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) reared in a biofloc system. Tilapia fingerlings (mean weight 13.54 ± 0.05 g) were fed diets supplemented with 0 (CH0), 5 (CH5), 10 (CH10), 20 (CH20), and 40 (CH40) mL·kg−1 of CH for 8 weeks. Parameters were assessed after 4 and 8 weeks. Their final weight was not affected by CH supplementation, but CH at 10 mL·kg−1 significantly improved weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) compared to the control (p < 0.05) at 8 weeks. Skin mucus lysozyme and peroxidase activities were lower in the chitosan-treated groups at weeks 4 and 8. Intestinal villi length and width were enhanced by 10 and 20 mL·kg−1 CH compared to the control. However, 40 mL·kg−1 CH caused detrimental impacts on the villi and muscular layer. CH supplementation, especially 5–10 mL·kg−1, increased liver and intestinal expressions of interleukin 1 (IL-1), interleukin 8 (IL-8), LPS-binding protein (LBP), glutathione reductase (GSR), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and glutathione S-transferase (GST-α) compared to the control group. Overall, dietary CH at 10 mL·kg−1 can effectively promote growth, intestinal morphology, innate immunity, and antioxidant capacity in Nile tilapia fingerlings reared in biofloc systems.
