Probiotic Applications in Cold Water Fish Species

Probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic supplements in sturgeon aquaculture: a review

“…; Lauzon et al . ). However, probiotic studies focusing on sturgeon are less investigated (Askarian et al .…”

“…In this respect, modulation of the digestive tract microbiota in a positive way is of importance. Modulation of the intestinal microbiota of finfish and shellfish can be performed through administration of probiotics (Wang et al 2008;Merrifield et al 2010;Dimitroglou et al 2011;Carnevali et al 2014;Lauzon et al 2014), prebiotics (Merrifield et al 2010;Ringø et al 2010aRingø et al , 2014 or synbiotics (combination of probiotics and prebiotics) (Cerezuela et al 2011;Ringø et al 2014). Fuller (1989) defined probiotics as a live microbial feed supplement which beneficially affects the host animal by improving its microbial balance.…”

“…According to the authors, 'probiotic for aquaculture is a live, dead or component of a microbial cell that, when administered via the feed or to the rearing water, benefits the host by improving either disease resistance, health status, growth performance, feed utilisation, stress response or general vigour, which is achieved at least in part via improving the hosts or the environmental microbial balance'. The use of probiotics has open a new era in industrialized fish farming and its use are gaining increasing scientific and commercial interest and are now quite commonplace in health-promoting foods to therapeutic, prophylactic and growth supplements (Nayak 2010a,b;Kiron 2012;Carnevali et al 2014;Lauzon et al 2014). However, probiotic studies focusing on sturgeon are less investigated Faramarzi et al 2011Faramarzi et al , 2012aIranshahi et al 2011;Jafaryan & Soltani 2012).…”

Dietary probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici MA18/5M modulates the intestinal microbiota and stimulates intestinal immunity in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

“…Over the past decade, numerous studies have investigated the efficacy of probiotics in aquafeeds (for reviews see Carnevali, Sun, Merrifield, Zhou, & Picchietti, ; Dimitroglou et al, ; Lauzon, Pérez‐Sánchez, Merrifield, Ringø, & Balcázar, ; Merrifield et al, ; Rodiles et al, ). The majority of these studies have investigated immune responses and disease resistance, and although not in all cases, host benefits have often been reported (Dimitroglou et al, ; Ferguson et al, ; Merrifield, Dimitroglou, et al, ; Perez‐Sanchez et al, ).…”

“…These findings help to explain some of the mechanisms behind the previously reported observed benefits of using this probiotic in the intestinal morphology and immunity of rainbow trout. Over the past decade, numerous studies have investigated the efficacy of probiotics in aquafeeds (for reviews see Carnevali, Sun, Merrifield, Zhou, & Picchietti, 2014;Dimitroglou et al, 2011;Lauzon, Pérez-Sánchez, Merrifield, Ringø, & Balcázar, 2014;Rodiles et al, 2018). The majority of these studies have investigated immune responses and disease resistance, and although not in all cases, host benefits have often been reported (Dimitroglou et al, 2011;Ferguson et al, 2010;Perez-Sanchez et al, 2011).…”
